Same Old, Same Old... But Worse...
 

"David Cameron tried to keep us in the EU and failed when we voted to Leave. The establishment was horrified and that is why Theresa May (who campaigned for us to Remain) was swiftly installed as PM. She has spent the past two years diluting and obfuscating and we now know that when she said 'Brexit means Brexit' she MEANT 'Brexit in name only'."  [source].
 

"Theresa May - let's just rename everything, they won't even notice?:  Common Rule Book = Single Market; Combined Customs Territory = Custom Union; Freedom of Workers = Freedom of Movement" [comment at source].
 

"The softest of soft Brexits being proposed is the springboard for a full return to the EU. it is not enough for May to rename the Single Market (Common Rule Book) the Customs Union (Combined Customs Territory) and Freedom of Movement (Freedom of workers, visa free). The humiliation must deepen as we move to a position of complete re-integration into the EU. In the meanwhile, we become a vassal state, a simpering rule taker, subject to the ECJ and compliant to EU policy" [source].
 

"[W]e will never be able to wriggle free given that a non-EU member can no longer trigger Article 50 and say, 'I'm out.'  It is the worst of all worlds: we effectively stay in, we remain beholden to EU diktats, and in such a way that our ability to push back or rebel is almost completely diminished. It is not what people voted for. It is the opposite" [source].
 

"People voted to 'take back control' ... millions voted Leave because they 'didn't want the EU to have any role in UK law-making'. And now May gives us the opposite of that. We voted to repair British sovereignty; she acts to undermine British sovereignty. We voted to strengthen Britain's democratic independence; she acts to reduce Britain to a rule-taking vassal state of the increasingly imperial EU" [source].
 

The Common Rule Book:
 

"[This] means that we are now fully aligned with the EU and that any future divergence carries the prospect of 'severe consequences' ... The UK has become a rule taker for the EU, but without any influence over the EU. This is the dawning of the vassal state that some have prophesied" [source].
 

"[T]he prospect of a free trade deal with the US has receded to the realms of impossibility since the US has different standards for industrial goods and agri-food" [source].
 

Combined Customs Territory:
 

"It is no longer about a Hard Brexit or a Soft Brexit, it is now about a Soft Remain versus a Hard Remain. As evidence of the latter we find the following pressure now being oh-so-conveniently exerted on this weak Government by prominent Remain big business cheerleaders. 'A letter released on Saturday night by the co-founder of Innocent Drinks, Richard Reed, and signed by the founders of Pret, Waterstones, Zoopla, Net-a-Porter, Domino's, YO! Sushi and Jack Wills, among others, said that May's customs proposal would be costly and bureaucratic for UK firms. They called for MPs to back amendments to the government's trade and customs bills that would secure full customs union membership when the legislation is considered in parliament.'  This is where we are now heading" [source].
 

Freedom of Workers:
 

"UK and EU citizens can continue to travel to each other's territories, and apply for study and work. No visas required. Borders to the EU will therefore remain effectively open and the number one reason given by voters FOR supporting Brexit - taking back control of borders - is essentially undone" [source].

Tory MPs
 

"[I]n [the 'common rulebook] the EU writes the rules, but we have to harmonise to them ... Parliament will be under the sword of Damocles... it's illusory rather than real [power]. It's painting something as returning sovereignty, returning control to the HofC but in practice, it isn't doing so" [David Davis, quoted at source].
 

"[A] very soft Brexit means we haven't left, we're simply a rule-taker. That is not something this country voted for; it's not what the PM promised... I will certainly stick to the Conservatives' manifesto commitments, and will not vote for something that doesn't deliver Brexit" [Jacob Rees-Mogg, quoted at source].
 

The Dimming of Democracy

"Our choice is now between a soft Remain and a hard Remain, the rest is detail. The deeper question is if we cannot make democracy work, and the past two years have proven that is pretty much the case, then we must take a cold hard look at whether politics can ever be made to work. I am increasingly of the view that the system is constructed to ensure it only works for the political class" [source].
 

"[T]his represents a reneging on only on the referendum vote, but on the very principles that underpin a democratic society. May is sending a clear signal with her Chequers capitulation: that she pays more heed to the Remain-leaning political elite, the business class and the Brussels bureaucracy than she does to ordinary voters ... she is selling out the ideals of The Vote itself and the centuries-long struggle to achieve democratic parity of influence between the wealthy and the poor, the well-connected and the disconnected, the educated and the uneducated" [source].
 

"If 17.4million people vote for something and it doesn't happen, can Britain make any serious claim to be a democracy? One leading Remain campaigner says of the Chequers plan: '(T)his is the biggest win for Remainers since the referendum.'  The losing side is victorious. This is not how democracy works. We are witnessing the dimming of democracy" [source].
 

"As things stand, the next election will present voters with a choice between the useless and the bonkers. Ever since the departure of Margaret Thatcher, the Conservative party has been run by ineffective 'leaders' without any political principles whatsoever, seeking power fro the sole purpose of doing - what? ... soft socialism, achieving nothing other than our national decline" [comment at source].
 

"If we still ran our politics constitutionally, the government would have abided by the solid vote on the referendum regardless of how some members of the government had felt about it ... The only decent course of action for a truly constitutional government would have been to leave the EU within a couple of weeks of the referendum, and without paying any exit fees. Whatever negotiations were necessary could have proceeded from that starting point. Some economic sacrifices might or might not have followed but, even if they had, they wouldn't have been as severe as those made by the British during Germany's previous attempts to unite Europe. The British government felt then that no sacrifice was too great to preserve the nation's sovereignty and therefore her soul. The British government today is British in name only" [source].

Britain's Deep State

"The government is once again attempting to pull the wool over our eyes, as it has done from the start. Brexit could have been completed within weeks. A simple and mutually-beneficial trade deal could have been struck, hands shaken, and a new future built. This was never on the cards however because neither side wanted Brexit to happen, so they set about making the process as difficult as possible, to dupe voters and deter other Europeans from spawning similar ideas about independence" [source].
 

"[A]ll that is necessary for us to leave the EU is to repeal the European Communities Act and walk away, but that is a million miles from what the Tory government is offering, and we must not let them get away with this treachery ... We must push for a total departure from the EU, the British people voted for it. We voted for it because we wanted our country back and we wanted our borders back. We are getting neither because the EU is calling the shots" [source].
 

"What happened on 23 June 2016, was a popular revolt against the apparat. The apparat had permitted it to happen because it had grown so arrogant that a defeat in the referendum seemed inconceivable ... Do you think for a second that those Tory Remainers, led with singular ineptitude by Mrs May, are trying to defeat the referendum they lost because they don't realise they're destroying the county? Don't they know that they're practically unrolling a red carpet for the Trotskyist evil to settle with catastrophic consequences at 10 Downing Street? Of course they do. But they don't care because their loyalty is pledged not to the party, nor, God forbid, to the country, but to the apparat ... They don't care if the Tory party or even Britain herself dies as long as the apparat lives" [source].
 

"Don't say we at Traumaville didn't warn you when we pronounced that Brexit would never be allowed to happen. The deep state immediately implemented what Socialists always do when things go against them when they are in power; Over-complication ... Too many Socialist cronies have got too many vested interests in staying in the EU. Also, whatever deal the West has done with Islam relies on Schengen to keep bringing in these hordes who so despise us. And let's not forget the depth of hatred the new Leftist Establishment has for the white working class, who formed the core of the Leave vote ... complete financial collapse is the only cure for the UK and, shackled to the corpse that the EU will soon become, this day can only be hastened in its arrival" [source].

'The Best of Both Worlds' White Paper

"The thing that strikes me the most is that it looks like David Cameron's 'The Best of Both Worlds' was the pre-written, pre-emptive way of having the fix in ... what the British Government is doing, since [that] white paper was written, is just implementing 'The Best of Both Worlds'. So it could even have possibly come from Bilderberg or some other inside private governance groups that help put 'The Best of Both Worlds' together to pre-empt whatever the British Government would do, and put the fix in long before Brexit even happened, before the vote even happened ... This is how private government works; with the networking of these think tanks and these Institutes that we keep an eye on. They basically have the burgers already cooked before the food-stand even opens. And so it's very deceptive, and that's how they work" [source].
 

"In 'The Best of Both Worlds' document, David Cameron makes the observation that it doesn't really matter what the outcome of the Referendum is; that he has got a plan for that, and I believe that's exactly what we've seen" [source].

"We Shall Survive!"

"Can't even the most ardent Remoaners see that if we roll over now, from fear of what life outside the EU would be like, Barnier, Junker, Merkel, Macron et al will make mincemeat out of us? We voted for Brexit. As a nation, we absolutely MUST have the guts to carry it through, irrespective of threats made by the big guns of Europe. If it means a 'hard Brexit', so be it. Life may be just a bit tougher for a while but we shall survive. We always have. The last time were were conquered was by the Normans in 1066 and they became us anyway. A pity most of the lefty libtard young don't know any history! Let's have some PRIDE as a nation!" [comment at source].

Putting the Pope in Charge of the Reformation

My first thought, when Theresa May was made Prime Minister just after the referendum in June 2016, was that putting a Remainer in charge of Brexit would be like putting the Pope in charge of the Protestant Reformation: It ain't gonna happen...

"To the best of my knowledge no democratic country has ever voluntarily agreed to a treaty in which it agrees that a foreign power may, if it so wishes, overrule that country's laws forever. In a week following the centenary remembrance of the WWI armistice, the UK government has agreed a deal arguable worse for the UK than the Treaty of Versailles was a hundred years ago for Germany ... It was always naive to hope that somebody who campaigned against democracy could be trusted to respect the referendum result. Thanks to Theresa May a strong hand has been deliberately misplayed, taxpayers' money wantonly thrown away, divisions deepened and a precious two and three quarter years to prepare for the future squandered. No doubt the pain and trauma of no deal will be the greater as a result of her Brexit betrayal. There will be more drama ahead in what May has made into an all or nothing game of chicken. True democrats of any party however now have no choice. We must all prepare to crash out of the EU gaol come what may" [source].

"Time wouldn't be running short if we hadn't wasted two years on Oliver Twist-like supplicancy, begging our European masters to be kind, whereas all they want is to punish us, discourage others and, ideally, torpedo Brexit. A PM committed to Brexit, rather than to the warped ruling elite, could have invoked the Royal Prerogative, left immediately after Parliament activated Article 50 - and only then started negotiating 'deals'." [source].

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"

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).

"The Queen's Majesty hath the chief power in this realm of England and other her dominions, unto whom the chief government of all estates in this realm,
whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain, and is not nor ought to be subjected to any foreign jurisdiction"
[The Thirty Nine Articles of Religion ... as by Law Established, Article 37, quoted at source].

"And I do declare that no Foreign Prince Person Prelate, State or Potentate hath or ought to have any Jurisdiction
Power Superiority Preeminence or Authority Ecclesiastical or Spiritual within this Realm.  So help me God"
[The Bill of Rights, 1689, Costin & Watson, The Law & Working of the Constitution, Documents 1660-1914]

"Parliament voted to put the decision about our membership of the EU in the hands of the British people.
The people made their choice, and did so decisively.  It is the responsibility of the government to get on with the job
and to carry out their instruction in full.  MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided"
[Prime Minister Theresa May, 5th November 2016]

"June 23rd 2016 was the day the people of the UK voted to LEAVE the EU in the single biggest expression of our will in British history.
On [July] 6th 2018, that decision has been neutralised and the prospect of a meaningful Brexit obliterated ... 
democracy has been exposed as an utter sham. The Conservative cabinet is stuffed with quislings. The majority are betrayed"
