Brexit: UK Independence Day 23 June 2016

Brexit
"I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them"
(Acts 7:34)

THERESA MAY'S SPEECH TO THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CONFERENCE
"Today, we are going to talk about global Britain: our vision for Britain after Brexit,
because 100 days ago, that is what the country voted for: ...
a Britain in which we pass our own laws and govern ourselves"

"You could call it self-determination or independence
but it is basically the right to plant your feet on the clifftops of Kent,
raise your eyes to the cloud-scudding sky, and relish your ancient liberty as a free-born Briton" [source].

"...it is still rather thrilling to see the British people stirring at last after a long, long sleep" [source].

This Glorious Day!

Welcome to Independence Day (24 June 2016)

Britain awakens today, June 24th, to a future as a free, independent sovereign nations. In a history-making referendum result, the people of the UK voted to leave the EU by winning 51.9% (17,410,742) of the vote (at latest counting) with 48.1% (16,141,24) choosing to remain on a turnout of 71.8%. UKIP would like to thank every single person who voted for this historic decision, a validation of the party's fundamental belief that we should be no longer a part of the European political project. As the sun rises over our country this morning, we can all rejoice in our wonderful new Independence Day."

We Did It! (24 June 2016)

"We Won! To quote Winston Churchill after the British troops won their first great battle of the Second World War at Al Alamein: 'This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, this is just perhaps the end of the beginning'."

"Just heard the news that Britain has won her independence. Wow! Let me tell you about the moment yesterday when I first thought it possible that the pollsters might be wrong.

Independence Day! The Great Escape (24 June 2016)

"Despite everything, the British people have spoken, and having done so - we have shown the Western world the way! NO to Globalism over National Sovereignty; NO to unaccountable corrupt Elites; NO to anti-democratic, liberal fascistic Totalitarianism; NO to 'Open Borders'/Multiculturalism/Mass-Migration; YES to Liberty and Democracy. All this achieved against incredible odds..."

UKIP leader Nigel Farage joined Breitbart radio to discuss the momentous victory in the referendum which saw Britain vote to leave the EU. ... 'We have broken away from a political union where our power was being overruled, our courts were being overruled, and we had a complete open border for anybody from southern and eastern Europe, so this is a major historic step. ... Threatening people insults their intelligence. Don't threaten people repeatedly because if you do in the end they think you've crying wolf and they won't believe you. It's Project Fear, or in the end when Obama came it as Project Threat..."

"It is the fissure of the state. The people have met the people: they looked and evaluated, and the greater soul has chosen to be more free, noble, ingenious and generous. The majority apprehends the future of British civilisation in terms of its own manners and morals; in its native religious and political institutions..."

Brexit is a Victory for Democracy (24 July 2016)

"When the history books are written, June 23, 2016 will be remembered as the day when Britain's bravery ushered in a golden age of global freedom. This is a great country, with a long and proud tradition of standing up for what is good and right. And today you, the great British public, have struck another historic blow for the fundamental rights of our fellow men and women not just in Europe, but across the globe. ... Brussels tried to suppress you, to brow-beat and defeat you. But the bulldog British spirit is not so easily tamed. As David Cameron packs his bags and leaves Downing Street - his next door neighbour George Osborne surely following close behind - he will pass below the Union Jack fluttering proudly in the breeze. We hope it reminds him that this is a courageous nation that will never, ever bow to the type of tyrannical bullying his Project Fear so mercilessly espoused. ... We had almost forgotten how sweet liberty and democracy is. But [now] our children and grandchildren are assured the opportunity to forge their own futures. This may well be our finest hour yet."

This Was the Day the British People Defied Their Jailors (24 July 2016)

"There were two referendums on Thursday. The first was on membership of the EU. The second was on the British establishment. Leave won both, and the world will never the same again. It's impossible to overstate how remarkable this victory is. Twenty years ago, Euroscepticism was a backbench Tory rebellion and a political cult. It was a dispute located firmly on the Right with little appeal to Labour voters. It took Ukip to drag it into the centre of political life - given momentum by the issue of immigration - and slowly it has emerged as a lightening rod for anti-establishment activism..."

Tipped the Other Way, it's Our Message to the EU (24 June 2016)

"Never in my life have I been so happy, nay ecstatic, to be wrong. Along with so many others, including Nigel Farage, the bookies and the pollsters, I thought the cause was lost. Two propaganda juggernauts, those of HMG and the EU, has been rolling for months, and they seemed unstoppable. Now I'd like to apologise to the English [and Welsh] people for underestimating them. Their innate common sense has seen through the scaremongering lies..."

Social Conservatism Was Reborn Today (24 June 2016)

"It still hasn't sunk in, and won't do for some time. We won. We won, and against more than one enemy. Yes, of course the vote was primarily about our membership of the EU, but it was also a profound rejection of our own arrogant, bullying, contemptuous Metropolitan elite. In this referendum campaign they threw everything at us, and they lost. Along with our membership of the EU, the tyranny of Political Correctness essentially died today..."

Brexit: A Brilliant Revolt Against the Political Class (24 June 2016)

"So this is what democracy feels like. This is what a ballot-box revolt looks like. Yesterday the people asserted themselves. They made plain their dislike of the EU. And they did so against virtually the entire establishment. The leaders of capitalism, the vast majority of the political class, experts, academics, world leaders, global institutions, the liberal media and the celebrity set united to warn the little people, to hector and lecture them, about the dangers of rejecting the EU. And yet the little people did it anyway ... This was an uprising, a polite, quiet one..."

Analyses of Results

Brits Oppose 2nd Referendum by Two to One (29 June 2016)

"A YouGov poll published today shows that less than a third of the public, 31%, believe the referendum should be re-run. By contrast, 58% say it should not, while 11% do not know. ... There is also no appetite for holding a referendum once the terms of Britain's withdrawal have been decided, with just 33% calling for a vote in such a circumstance, compared to 51% who would oppose it ... the poll also shows that 48% of the public expect immigration to be more tightly controlled after Britain leaves the EU, compared to 42% who think it will not be."

Breaking Down Brexit: How the UK Voted (24 June 2016)

The economics of Brexit was heatedly and endlessly debated ... but ultimately it was trumped by voters' considerations about national integrity and identity. ... The country split quite neatly into those for whom pocketbook considerations were paramount (and who opted for Remain) and those who sought to protect national integrity and identity (and who chose to Leave)..."

Jo Cox's Murder Made Leave Voters Go Underground (03 September 2016)

"The EU referendum debate shows no sign of abating. Remainers wait to be proved right about the terrible consequences, while Leavers are anxious to exit before the democratic will is frustrated by Sir Humphrey ort a political stitch-up. To see where we are going, we must understand where we are coming from..."

EU Referendum: What Now? (10 July 2016)

"Post-EU Referendum analysis of the principle reasons for voting one way or the other threw out the following key conclusions. Remainians voted primarily out of fear of the economic and social consequences of us leaving the EU: honourable and fair enough. On the other hand, we Leavers voted primarily for self-determination: equally honourable and fair enough. Now, if the Establishment, the Political Class, the EU itself, or whosoever, works to undermine the majority decision of the British people, there would be hell to pay..."

UKIP's Post-Brexit Future (08 July 2016)

"One must look at the areas that voted to leave. These are areas where neither the Labour nor the Conservative parties speak for the people. Leaving the EU is a prerequisite for national renewal but it is not guaranteed with the same political establishment in Westminster. The task for UKIP should be to win seats in the HoC at the next general election, not only to secure national independence but also to represent the decent working people of Britain who have been ignored and derided by a condescending and sneering elite..."

Yet, we still have the same grievances, angst and desires for peace, safety and prosperity..."

What Do Leave Voters Really Think? (06 July 2016)

"The EU referendum result exposed the enormous disconnect between the pro-EU views of the political class, and its affluent, metropolitan supporters, and the anti-EU views of the rest of the UK. It also exposed an enormous amount of elite snobbery towards ordinary voters. Many Remainers have been quick to dismiss those who voted to leave the EU as ignorant, foreign-hating, nationalistic bigots. They have also suggested that the issues at stake were too difficult for ordinary voters to comprehend. It's clear that many Remainers have never stepped foot in strongly pro-Brexit areas, let alone tried to find out what Leave voters really think..."

This is the Dawn of a Golden Age (03 July 2016)

"This great nation has, at long, long last, asserted its democratic right and bounded from a crazed stupor to vote out of the EU. What it has not done, never will, and indeed never could do - even if it crazily desired to - is to vote to come out of Europe. To listen to the frenzied wailings of the defeated Remainers this past week has been akin to witnessing some harrowing Biblical-style tale of loss and eternal damnation. What this country has wisely turned its back on is the failed Soviet Union retread that was the European Union..."

The English Town That Voted Brexit 'Out of Love' (28 June 2016)

"'This whole seafront was packed with boats', said Vicky Thwaites, surveying the broad beach at Redcar, a once-prosperous town that voted overwhelmingly for Britain to leave the EU. ... Thursday's dramatic vote to quit the EU was driven by millions of people in the post-industrial north and centre of England ... The strength of feeling may have stunned metropolitan Britain, but came as no surprise [here], where 66.2% ultimately voted to leave the EU ... 'They took our fishing from us and took our steel. The backbone of Britain. They're raped the northeast. We're left with nothing. We're all just fed up and want Britain back'..."

Yes, This is a Crisis: A Brilliant Crisis Packed with Possibility (28 June 2016)

"The fallout from last week's EU referendum has brought one thing in particular into sharp, unforgiving relief: the immaturity of the British political class ... the infantile nature of their response to Brexit. They've responded with fear, distress, emotionalism, statements about feeling 'lost' ... They speak in the language of the threatened child rather than an in-control class ... The elite's disturbed response to the Leave victory ... shatters their claim that it is we the people who respond overemotionally to political matters. In truth, where the electorate calmly and seriously, and in huge numbers, went to polling stations and made their consciences known, it is the political class that has found it difficult, if not impossible, to approach this political reality rationally and honestly. ... Well, they need to grow up. And fast. Of course Remainers will feel bruised by the referendum result. But enough is enough. They have a responsibility, in a democratic society, to engage with majoritarian opinion and to respect its writ [and] a responsibility to heed and act on the will of the people ... Brexit must happen, and it must happen now. Our political class must invoke Article 50 and set in motion the thing that a majority of the British people want: to leave the EU ... behave as adults, make judgements, take action..."

Democracy Under Attack - Brexit Have Won a Battle but Not the War (28 June 2016)

"Initially, Brexit supporters including myself rejoiced at a victory which has been a long time in coming. However ... I had a gut-feeling that the globalist elites would not accept this vote without a fight. And sure enough, as the result sunk in, outraged reactions soon proved Brexit supporters may have won a battle but they have by no means won the war. Democracy is in danger of being stamped out by pro-EU fascists who are determined to reject the will of the people by hook or by crook..."

Bukovsky on Brexit (27 June 2016)

"During the past 15 years, I have voiced many times my support for leaving the EU. I am, of course, very happy with the referendum results ... Why am I happy? Because the EU is a huge and insanely expensive bureaucracy, reminiscent of the USSR. A system hostile to its people. People finally realised that and voted accordingly. The EU, the monster that it is, took away the rights of the citizens [sic] of Great Britain, trying to turn us into a province..."

The Long Road to Democracy (27 June 2016)

"It really is time for remainers to grow up and give up the ghost. We have been arguing for decades about this and politics is not going to progress until the issue is resolved. We have two choices. We can either bicker about the result, or we can focus on the question of what next. One of the them is a valuable use of intellect, the other is not. The fact remains that for whatever reason, the British public answered a single and unequivocal question and that is what we must abide with..."

The Battle for Democracy Starts Here (27 June 2016)

"What are [the elite's] reasons for overruling the will of the people? What intellectual contortions are they performing, seeing as they can't quite summon the courage to say 'stupid plebs'? They say we were misled, we were hoodwinked. ... [But] the majority voted Leave in the name of popular sovereignty - precisely the principle that so turns the stomachs of the elites. The idea that the public are liable to be misled or exploited by colourful demagogues is the oldest anti-democratic argument in the book..."

After the Vote, the Implosion of the Political Class (27 June 2016)

"[Politicians] have emotionalised the decision of the Leave voters, turning it into a momentary spasm, a paroxysm of anger. ... You can see why [they] would want to reduce the votes of 17.5m people to an emotional reaction, an eruption of anger. It diminishes the significance of the referendum. It turns it into something spontaneous, something momentarily irrational. It will therefore pass, as the red mist disperses, and a more reasonable, presumably, pro-EU, attitude returns. But this wasn't a temporary outburst. No, it was something positive: it was an articulation of a rational political desire ... 'the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK'..."

Boston, Lincolngrad: I Saw the Seething Resentment. Now it it Time to Finish the Revolution (26 June 2016)

"They shouldn't have tried to scare us. It is a sign of how little the Remainers understand or know about Britain, and above all about England, that they thought that would work. I do sometimes wonder if these odd denatured shiny types, who actively prefer foreign rule to their own, ever visit their own country. Confined to glossy multicultural London neighbourhoods for most of the year, they then hurry abroad. Most of them are more familiar with Florence or Barcelona than they are with the equal glory of Lincoln Cathedral, whose history, beauties and significance are alike unknown to them. Well, they should have tried harder to visit Britain. They might also have learned to like it, its unspectacular difference from anywhere else in the world (I know, I've visited 57 other countries), its gruff reserve that masks much deeper feelings, and its ancient dislike of being pushed around. The Remainers' snobbery was their undoing. They believed they were superior to their fellow countrymen and women, when they were just luckier and richer. Judging from their response to the referendum result, many of them still do..."

Britain's Great Divide (25 June 2016)

"Every election is divisive, but none has pitted rich against poor like this one. The social divide has been far more dramatic than the divide between the two main political parties. ...

The Remainers found ways of making this point - casting themselves as cosmopolitan and 'open' against the crude and (presumably) closed-minded Leavers..."

It is Best Not Just for Britain but for the EU That We Part Ways (24 June 2016)

"A few thoughts on today's events. First - it wasn't working. With each year it was becoming more and more obvious that Britain and the EU wanted different things. Many (though not all) continental countries seem happy with a political union which pools their national sovereignty. There may be virtues in that, problems in it or both. But it was never a desire of the British people. last night demonstrated that..."

Brexit Brings the Light of Liberty (24 June 2016)

[But Remain were not] able to make a positive case for the EU ... they failed to see that millions of fair-minded and balanced people had checked out their arguments and found them shallow.

Uncomfortable Britain Delivered the Great Escape (24 June 2016)

"Yesterday, in the Westminster bubble, all the talk was of a win for Remain. The bookies lengthened the odds on a Leave victory to 10/1, the markets soared, presumably on the strength of private polls by hedge funds, and the talk turned grimly to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox as the moment when the Leave campaign lost its momentum and liberal left denunciation of the 'politics of hate' turned the tide. As it transpired, it was all nonsense, as so much Westminster talk is, particularly now the Parliament and its hangers-on has become a playground for ambitious young public school thrusters and holier-than-thou warriors for the public sector and endless right-on charities. ... hidden below the blizzard of Westminster virtue-signalling, some things were happening..."

First Steps

PETITION: Nigel Farage Must Be Involved in the Brexit Negotiations in Brussels

"The decision, by the Vote Leave Campaign, to exclude Nigel Farage from the negotiations in Brussels under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is considered, by the undersigned, to be detrimental to the possible benefits to be achieved during the negotiations, and an insult to many of the 17,410,742 people who voted to leave the EU and to the thousands of UKIP members and supporters who campaigned for 4 months to help achieve this victory. UKIP was, and still is, the only party united in their commitment to Brexit, and Nigel Farage, as an MEP, has experience of the EU environment, [and] the voice and the determination to achieve the best possible outcome for the UK. Failure to include Nigel Farage in the team will be seen as vindictive political act by many people, and may result in a massive shift of Brexit voters to support UKIP in the future."

PETITION: Invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty Immediately

"The British people have spoken. We have voted to leave the EU. We want article 50 of the Lisbon treaty to be invoked immediately. We still have two years to discuss our exit from the EU, but we do not wish to delay it any further."

PETITION: Repeal 1972 European Communities Act

"We call upon our MPs to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act immediately should the EU Referendum result in a Leave majority vote, thus making membership of the EU null and void, without any further interference from the government or the EU."

PETITION: All European Union Flags, Emblems and Logos Be Removed From All Public Buildings

Article 50 Yes, But No Snap General Election (12 July 2016)

"A snap General Election would be good for UKIP, especially in the many Labour seats in which we were placed second last year. I don't think there is a desire in the country to have such an election though. The government must now get on with its job and inspire confidence. Whilst I did not want Mrs May, a Remain supporter, to become PM she has now said 'Brexit means Brexit.' To hold faith with over 17 million voters who opted for Leave she must trigger Article 50 at the earliest realistic opportunity. I hope she picks a strong negotiating team. UKIP will be watching like a hawk to ensure that there is no backsliding."

"George Osborne says he can stay in the government in some capacity ('a decision for the next prime minister'). Monday's Financial Times reported 'Friends say a move to the Foreign Office would be the only other job that would appeal.' No doubt they are right, but have Mr Osborne and his friends not noticed that what 'appeals' to him has nothing whatever to do with what the country needs? Unlike David Cameron, who said immediately and firmly that he will go, the Chancellor does not seem to understand that he got it all wrong. His sense of entitlement is completely unfounded..."

The British people were deluged with scare stories of such magnitude and breadth that describing it all as a campaign of lies is no exaggeration. But it didn't work. Britain has voted, with a turnout of over 70%, to leave the European Union. Fear failed; hope prevailed. There is much now to do; but some first steps should be clear..."

Independence Day: David Cameron is Ruined (24 June 2016)

"'How would it be for David Cameron if he lost the Referendum?' When a BBC crew asked me this two days ago I don't think either they or I imagined for a moment that this scenario would come to pass. ... [Cameron] took a massive gamble ... Fortune's wheel turned. And now he is crushed beneath it. I feel no joy in this. Whatever you think of David Cameron, this is his tragedy."

Brexit - How It Would All Work (No Date)

"There are many myths and misconceptions about the Brexit process and what it will involve. During the campaign, near hysterical fears are voiced that somehow the UK would be plunged into a situation where we would be cut off from trading with the EU or even somehow severely hampered in trading with the wider world. ... These alarmist claims do not stand up to critical scrutiny for reasons which we shall carefully explain..."

The End of the Beginning...

"The Battle is fierce, friends. Many analogies were made before the referendum about the children of Israel crying out to God for deliverance from Egypt. Well, I am reminded that after they had been released, that wasn't the end of the matter: 'and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?".' Sound familiar? The whole force of Egypt went out after these freed people, determined to bring them back under their power. [Pharaoh] pursued them and suddenly [the people of Israel] found they were left with nowhere to turn; with the Red Sea before them and the power of Egypt behind them, seeking to bring them back under their control. When faced with this, the people then turned on Moses as the one who had brought them out, because the situation seemed so dire; they then wanted to go back under the power from which they had been delivered: 'Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians. For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.' However: 'Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show you today ... The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace".' I don't think this was an instruction not to pray, but rather to not talk against Moses and what God had done. 'And the LORD said unto Moses, "Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they may go forward".' The way forward may seem unclear to us, but we know for sure, God can direct our paths if we seek His direction. Whatever people say and do in the coming days, let us pray for God's direction and for His decision to stand" [IFB, July 2016].

We Should Seize the Benefits of Brexit Sooner Rather Than Later (31 August 2016)

"Every week that we delay Brexit costs the British taxpayer nearly £200 million in membership fees. So both the Treasury and Health (which will have first call on extra spending) should be pushing for a speedy exit. ... Project Fear happily did not become a self-fulfilling prophecy but Project Delay can extend damaging uncertainty as well as postponing the fruits of our new freedom.

Does this 'reasoning' apply to all other elections, votes, policies, etc? Or just one she disagreed on the outcome of?" / "What makes me despair is that if Remain has won, then those of us who voted Leave would be expected to shut up and put up with the EU. Now the awful Heseltine and Wheatcroft are crying cos they lost" / "Indeed, 'to be given the opportunity to think again' actually sounds quite threatening" / "Every one of them already had a vote, the same as everyone else in the country. Remain lost. Get over it and start helping to put the UK back on top" / "Just try it Mzzz Wheatcroft; you just try it" / "Prior to the Blair ~~vandalism~~ reforms, the Hereditary element of the HoL provided a fairly robustly independent source of influence that was not bound by feelings of patronage in the same way that the flood of Life Peers created since are. Also, by not being transfixed by the date of the next election, the Hereditaries provided a much longer sighted view of matters rather than the short sighted view all too often taken by the Commons ...

"Imagine these circumstances. Forty-three years ago your 'guardian' committed you to an insane asylum. It was for your own good... so he said.

Over time the staff of the asylum have conducted experiment after experiment upon you and the other inmates, ostensibly to see if they can 'cure' you. From your observations you arrive at the eerie conclusion that it is the staff - not the inmates - who are the insane ones. One day, 'Nurse Ratched' offers to set you free, if you really want to be free, that is ... That faceless tyranny that now terrorised Europe was formerly convinced that it had so cowed the British people into submission that given a choice between freedom and slavery, the British people, they believed, would choose continued slavery. Imagine their shock as the returns rolled in on the morning of Friday, June 24, and the 'Remain' (slave) was overpowered by the 'Leave' (free) vote ... freedom-loving voters of UKIP and of the Conservative party joined together with Labour Party voters of working class neighborhoods to carry the day for Britain's exit from the EU..."

What is a stake is not just the result of the referendum, but the very idea that the people's view should be the sovereign view, that our say is the say. The political class's profound discomfort with democracy stands exposed. Its ringfencing of Article 50 is an attempt to push the people away from politics. We must demand Article 50 be triggered both to uphold the result of this referendum and also as a firm, loud defence of the long-fought-for idea that the public must have the right to choose the political system it lives under.

Scottish Independence? Go For It! (13 March 2017)

"It may seem somewhat ironic for a publication entitled 'the British Observer' to reveal a pro-Scottish independence position and yes, it is with a heavy heart that we would see the union dissolve, yet it would also be with a heart full of hope, hope that England will once again see her time in the sun. For too long the union has been kept up by the national government at Westminster focusing acutely upon the 16% (by population size) of the United Kingdom that is not English, all the while dangerously neglecting the people of England and their interests. This is no way to prolong a relationship. The esteemed First Minister of Scotland Ms Sturgeon furiously pounds the proverbial table, demanding that Scotland be treated as an 'equal partner' of this union, but it is in fact England that is neglected in the central government's efforts to prolong the inevitable..."

It very much exists, and until Article 50 and the two-year process is triggered the UK is in the EU. Scotland is European, [the Scottish Parliament] repeatedly said.

'Trigger Article 50!: The Great Democratic Cry of Our Time (04 July 2016)

"Let's shoot down the claim that delaying Article 50 is just tactics, and good tactics. Some, including prominent Leavers, say, yes we will invoke Article 50 but let's put it on ice for now until British officials have got stuck into negotiations with Brussels and started working out a good deal. This makes no sense. It would be far better for Britain to go into negotiations decisively, confidently. Refusing to trigger Article 50 before negotiations sends a message of nervousness. It demoralises the Brexit position, in turn strengthening those of an anti-Brexit persuasion. It will lead to sheepish negotiations, which could end, not with a good post-Brexit deal, but with Brexit-lite, a slightly tweaked version of the status quo - the thing the people said they do not want. At the level of both principle and tactics, in terms of both respecting democracy and boosting Britain's negotiating position, it makes sense to invoke Article 50, and to do it now..."

Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty / 1972 European Communities Act

"If the British people vote to leave, there is only one way to bring that about, namely to trigger article 50 of the treaties and begin the process of exit, and the British people would rightly expect that to start straight away" [David Cameron, HofC Hansard Debates for 22 February 2016, Section: European Council, Column: 24, source].

"Mishcon's proposed challenge is devoid of all legal merit. As a matter of law, giving of notification under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union is a matter of Crown prerogative. No Act or other parliamentary approval is required before this is done. In the European Union Act 2011, Parliament has chosen to require parliamentary approval before ministers are allowed to take certain actions under the European treaties, but notably has not extended any such restrictions to Article 50. Any argument that there is an implied restriction is therefore quite hopeless. As a matter of constitutional and political authority, the decision of the British people in a national referendum authorised by Act of Parliament not merely permits but mandates the giving of notice, without the need for any vote by Parliament. It is deeply objectionable but sadly not unexpected that those who suffer from a deep-rooted contempt for democracy should resort to legal antics of this kind in an attempt to frustrate the democratic decision of the British people" [Martin Howe QC, Chairman, Lawyers for Britain, 04 July 2016, source].

Don't Be Fooled: EU Enthusiast Theresa May is Intent on Subverting Brexit (21 July 2016)

"I am against using Article 50 because it allows the EU to control matters and leaves the UK as an EU member for at least two years after the Article is activated, but Davis, Johnson and Fox are all signed up to its use, so at present it seems unlikely that an alternative way of leaving will be used. However, it is possible that could change once the public realises that for several years the UK would not be able to control EU immigration and the EU directives, including new ones, have to be followed. The only thing which can be said for Article 50 is that, in theory, it means there is no going back. Once activated, the UK is irrevocably on the way out. Of course the EU has a record of breaking laws when it suits them. It is not out of the question that a combination of EU power brokers and Europhile MPs could simply cancel the UK activation of Article 50 and leave the UK in the EU. There are two possible alternatives means of leaving the EU..."

So for officialdom, experts and agitators to demand that we hold off from triggering Article 50 - the clause that sets in motion a nation's rupture with Brussels - is a straight-up denial of the democratic will.

That puts post-Brexit Britain in gold medal place in the PMI podium... It is important to understand that the PMI is a survey and reflects the attitude of purchasing managers to the economy and market conditions.

The EU's Single market is an old-fashioned Customs Union, overlaid by massive and damaging levels of regulation and bureaucracy. ... (1) All trading nations have access to the Single Market ... (2) Many countries have bilateral Free Trade Deals with the EU ... (3) A few countries have quasi-membership terms ... (4) 28 countries are EU members ...

The Ancient Greeks exported wine, bronze goods and olive oil and imported wheat from Egypt and wood from Macedonia and Thrace. They didn't need trading agreements or WTOs to export and import.

Sacrificed to Islam - A People Dying for Multiculturalism (26 July 2016)

"The reaction to these atrocities shows that the people of the West are now being betrayed in plain view ... those who are supposed to serve and protect their people know they've caused an almighty problem and will therefore refuse to solve it. They are the ones who forcibly imposed multiculturalism on their people and imported Islam into the West ... despite these diabolical attacks - and everyone knows there'll be more of them - the European political elites will refuse to close their borders. This was confirmed by the President of the EU Jean-Claude Juncker. The elites will continue with their pernicious multicultural experiment to transform their nations without caring a jot for the safety of their own people. ... A core principle of democracy is that no Parliament can bind its successor. Yet with multiculturalism, this principle has been mixed. All governments, left, right or center, must continue with the Multicult experiment. It cannot be stopped and it cannot be reversed. Despite the carnage and the suffering, the desire to make the lands of the West lebensraum for third world invaders is merely intensified. In doing so, the elites are ... sending a signal that their loyalty is the aliens, not their own people. And any patriot who dares to oppose the invasion of their land and the betrayal of a people is smeared and criminalized as a racist Nazi. ... This isn't just betrayal.

"[H]ere's why immigration has become a problem. Our post-traditional, postmodern rulers, have simultaneously devalued borders and valorised immigration. And, in doing so, they have weaponised it. They have turned immigration into the means by which they transform society, bring it into line with their borderless, vacuously cosmopolitan vision. The immigrant here is not an autonomous individual, and end in himself. He is a means to an end, a political tool to create a multicultural, margin-less society..."

What Now for UKIP? (21 June 2016)

"UKIP is the sole voice in mainstream politics to present a clear and unambiguous defence of British and Western culture. Such a position has also never mattered more. Internationalism is growing in power an intensity, and as it does, the nation-state will fade way and bring accountable governance along with it. Unless actively prevented, the nation will be replaced by a self-appointed elite that won't recognize borders or peoples because this would be too empowering of those at the bottom - it would give them unity, strength, and belonging to something worth defending,. all things inconvenient to the fantasy leftist global government. ... But there is one issue on which UKIP really should now step up to the plate - Islam and Muslim immigration. The party must admit and publicly acknowledge that Islamic culture is simply not compatible with our own..."

Theresa May: Sharia Courts 'Greatly Benefit' Britain (28 May 2016)

"Despite the rigged polls, the hysteria, the emotional appeals, the stereotyping, the alarmist economic claims and the rest of the circus, British voters have voted to reclaim their independence.

Magna Carta 2.0 (24 June 2016)

"The original Magna Carta was a charter agreed to by King John of England in 1215. It just celebrated its 801st anniversary. So no, I wasn't there. But that charter has become part of an important, iconic, political myth that the deal between an unpopular king and rebellious barons marked the beginning of individual English freedoms, personal liberties, and due-process protection of individuals under the law. Magna Carta has also been citied as providing the essential foundation for the contemporary powers of parliament and legal principles such as habeas corpus. That's the mythology, and it's an important one..."

Per Winston Churchill, 'These Are Not Dark Days, These Are Great Days' (24 June 2016)

"The big winners of the night are Nigel Farage, and of course, Britain. Somewhere deep down in its bones it recalled the virtue of sheer obstinacy, the power of No at a time when persistence, courage, and defiance were declared to be politically incorrect and out of fashion. It was as if they reconstructed for themselves the speech a British politician once gave a class of Harrovian schoolboys, back in the days when the glory of persisting against seemingly hopeless odds could be extolled without embarrassment:..."

Independence Day in the UK #BREXIT WINS (24 June 2016)

"I have been an ardent supporter of the Brexit referendum. The results are a gorgeous surprise. The night was ... a roller-coaster... When Nigel Farage conceded (the first time), I was deeply distressed, but not surprised. So imagine my joy when the results began to turn at 2am (UK time). ... The markets will shake. But that is incidental. I would invest in the pound and in an England in charge of its own fate. The fascists at the EU have been given their walking papers and I suspect we will hear the rest of Europe beating a path to the exit doors..."

Australia

Brexit: The Fallout (24 June 2016)

"This has been a remarkable outcome ... The changes will be complex and will take time, but the die is cast. A big lesson in all this is that people power can still work - big time. Obviously a huge amount of effort went into the Brexit campaign and its big win. For example, Nigel Farage of UKIP was tireless in this work for decades. ... He is perhaps the real champion here and we need more heroes like him. But there were others of course... Freedom is contagious. What Brexit has done is encourage and empower millions of people throughout the West to also take a stand for local control, for national sovereignty, and for the rule of the people - not foreign elites. Well done UK."

Brexit and Beyond (24 June 2016)

"What looks to be a great victory in the UK, despite what all the pundits and pollsters said, has ramifications for other places around the globe ... especially of the forthcoming Australian and American elections. But first, a few words about this historic vote in the UK ... This is a real victory for people power. It is a declaration of the importance of local governance, and a slap in the face to the globalist agenda. The majority of UK voters declared that the sovereignty of the UK is paramount. They want self-rule, local rule and national rule, not EU bureaucracy rule..."

Liberty: the Battle for the Very Soul of Britain

The following is an extended extract from Battle for the Very Soul of Britain

"Nine hundred and fifty years ago, between two hillocks at Hastings, an Anglo-Saxon king took an arrow in his eye and England surrendered her independence. That was our last - should I say most recent? - defeat on home soil. King Harold's forces fought valiantly but they had been exhausted by two earlier battles ... A shrewd and ruthless Frenchman, Guillaume of Normandy, seized power and London's Witan parliament was never heard of again. ...

"I have been contemplating poor King Harold a fair amount recently. ... As a schoolboy I visited the northern French town of Bayeux to see [the] tapestry and remember a sting of sorrow as I saw the needlework images of vanquished Anglo-Saxons. It was always the same when I read history yarns about British chieftain Caractacus fighting the Romans on his hilltop and later being paraded in Rome as a chained captive; or gallant ... Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni tribe, charging towards the Roman lines in her chariot ... In such accounts, I always rooted for the Brits. ... I always wanted the dwellers of our dank and foggy, sea-set isle to seize the day. Was it a nascent sketchwriter's innate bias or inherited love of country from my fiercely patriotic parents? Was that love wrong? Is that love wrong? I still feel that way.

"The likes of Mr Cameron and his fellow Europhiles ... presumably feel something different when they look at the Bayeux tapestry. I suppose they experience a glow of quiet satisfaction that William and his forces of European integration over came the locals. ... A deep-rooted part of me rebels against that. ... I grieve for the freedoms that were squashed. And I feel just the same when I look at an castle built by English lords to crush dissent in Scottish and Welsh territory. My sympathies lie with the invaded. ...

"Hereward the Wake [a] Lincolnshire freeman ... had his lands taken by the Normans and decided to do something about it. For a few years after 1066, Hereward and his small army operated out of the Cambridgeshire town of Ely, then an island. They were beaten only after a treacherous monk showed the Normans one of the secret paths to Ely through the Fenland marshes. ... Almost a millennium after the event, I feel a lively indignation on Hereward's behalf. What a cur that monk was to betray him. What if Hereward had continued to oppose William? Could he have combined with the still unconquered Celts and Northumbrians to drive out the 'ingengas'? Or was Norman rule as inevitable as supporters of the EU now say their governing body is inevitable? As for that treacherous monk, was he a sort of Roland Rudd of his day ... the City PR smoothie pulling strings for the Remain camp? ...

"My support for Hereward may reflect a surfeit of foolish romanticism. But it may also echo enduring truths about the importance of self-determination and of remaining true to one's ancestral heritage. For what are we if we deny the past? What is the point of being British if we are not able to say who governs us? And let there be no doubt: if we vote to stay ion the EU, we will not be able to dislodge the elite that runs Brussels. They will be impervious to our democratic disapproval. They will be as safe as William and his shaven-headed Normans were in their mighty castle keeps. ...

"The Leave campaign ... has urged voters to quit the EU for a range of reasons ... Hereward the Wake ... would have heard Vote Leave talk of how we must 'take control' and would surely have thought 'I don't really want control - I want liberty.' ...

"It would obviously be good for us to retrieve national control of trade decisions, tax matters, ... immigration policy ... But where is the optimism in Leave's campaign? Where is the appeal to something more positive, more human, more ardent? The hearts of Hereeward the Wake and his 'green men' would have burned for something greater; something more essential. You could call it self-determination or independence but it is basically the right to plant your feet on the clifftops of Kent, raise your eyes to the cloud-scudding sky, and relish your ancient liberty as a free-born Briton. ...

"I think of my grandfathers. One was wounded three times on the Western Front in World War I. The other landed in Normandy - Normandy! - just before D-Day to clear the beaches of mines. They fought for king and country, yes, but they fought most of all for an idea: freedom. The days of ancestral sword and scramasax may have passed but that powerful notion of liberty, the spirit of British dissent which flared so wonderfully in the East Anglian fens 950 years ago, must never be allowed to die. Without it, we would be an island without pride, an island shorn of soul"

Norman and Saxon

"'My son,' said the Norman Baron, 'I am dying, and you will be heir to all the broad acres in England that William gave me for my share
when we conquered the Saxon at Hastings, and a nice little handful it is. But before you go over to rule it I want you to understand this:

"The Saxon is not like us Normans. His manners are not so polite. But he never means anything serious till he talks about justice and right.
When he stands like an ox in the furrow with his sullen set eyes on your own, and grumbles, 'This isn't fair dealing,' my son, leave the Saxon alone.

"You can horsewhip your Gascony archers, or torture your Picardy spears; But don't try that game on the Saxon; you'll have the whole brood round your ears.
From the richest old Thane in the country to the poorest chained serf in the field, they'll be at you and on you like hornets, and, if you are wise, you will yield.

"But first you must master their language, their dialect, proverbs and songs. Don't trust any clerk to interpret when they come with the tale of their wrongs.
Let them know that you know what they're saying; let them feel that you know what to say. Yes, even when you want to go hunting, hear 'em out if it takes you all day.

"They'll drink every hour of the daylight and poach every hour of the dark. It's the sport not the rabbits they're after (we've plenty of game in the park).
Don't hang them or cut off their fingers. That's wasteful as well as unkind, for a hard-bitten, South-country poacher makes the best man-at-arms you can find.

"Appear with your wife and the children at their weddings and funeral and feasts. Be polite but not friendly to Bishops; be good to all poor parish priests.
Say 'we', 'us' and 'ours' when you're talking, instead of 'you fellows' and 'I'. Don't ride over seeds; keep your temper; and never you tell 'em a lie!"

[Poem by Rudyard Kipling]

The Tower of Babel: EU / UN / NWO

"These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 10:32-11:9).

"It was one of the cleverest strokes of those who took us into the EEC in 1972 to invent a sort of mutated, cancerous form of parliamentary sovereignty
in order to destroy the essence and reality of that sovereignty and to make Queen, Lords, Commons, and People into subjects of a foreign power, now the EU.
Ministers who, as Privy Counsellors, had assented by their most solemn oath to maintain the sovereignty of the Crown against all foreign powers whatsoever,
initiated, maintained, and deepened that subjection over forty years. The people have now democratically and finally rejected this process"
