Whenever we read about Brexit nowadays in the MSM, it’s about Trade and the economy. Our MSM, especially the BBC, being staunch Remainers (with a very few honourable exceptions), we receive what are patently #fakenews. These news are all based on the long since discredited predictions of “Project Fear”, and still they are being taken for gospel and given prominence. The latest was the gloomy prediction by Madame Lagarde of the IMF who was reported to have ‘downgraded’ the UK’s outlook for 2018 – because of Brexit. Never mind that on the same day we read about growing job numbers and growing manufacturing output, all of course ‘in spite of Brexit’. This has to be deliberate because, as we all know, we’re not out yet, we’re still in it.
Now that everybody in Whitehall and Brussels, in the ‘Remain’ Think Tanks and the few Brexit ones has gone home for Christmas, now that Parliament is in recess, now that we are not bombarded with ‘Project Fear’ headlines there’s one aspect I would like to write about: the breakdown of our society.
By that I don’t mean riots in the streets of our towns and cities, I don’t mean the deplorable conditions of the physical infrastructure in our country nor the patently horrendous situations in schools, GP surgeries and NHS hospitals. I mean the formerly insidious and now blatantly obvious disregard by some in our society who believe that ‘might’ makes ‘right’. ‘Might’ is not just based on them having more money than the rest of us, it is also based on a perceived ‘position of authority’, such as being an MP, and on ‘presence on telly’.
The actual might of the people, of us who voted to Leave – all 17.4 million of us – is negligible for them and for the Remain MSM who are working like the inofficial ‘Ministry of Truth’ for all remainers.
In a democracy, once the voters have decided, it’s for the elected representatives to give concrete form to that decision by acting in Parliament as Government or as Opposition. It is not for unelected outsiders, after the fact, to demand that the voters’ decision be overturned. Above all it is not for unelected outsiders to interfere day in day out by using spurious legal arguments, by involving the Courts of Justice, to stop the government from doing what they had been voted in for to do.
So the latest news are that some Remainers now declare Article 50 had not been triggered at all, really, and must therefore be stopped (see here) – where were they and where was their legal counsel these past 9 months? This is a ‘legal challenge’ dreamed up by a miscontended LibDem who lost her seat in the last GE! But wait for Ms May to stop proceedings, just as we all had to wait for the Courts too decide on Ms Gina Miller’s court case.
Then there are some Scottish Remainers who have now got enough money by crowdfunding to go to court in Scotland, the High Fortress of Remaindom on the one hand which is still dreaming of yet another Independence Referendum (see here). What is especially infuriating – or disgusting – is this:
“They want to ask the Court of Session in Edinburgh to refer the issue to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg for a ruling on whether the UK can change its mind and halt the Article 50 process without the approval of the other 27 member states if voters decide the final deal is unacceptable.”
In other words, these Scots want a foreign court (!) to decide that while we the people had been oh-so-wrong in the first referendum, we can be made to vote in a second referendum because the Remainers, Brussels, the MSM will now be able to show us the error of our ways so that we’ll vote ‘Remain’ the second time round and all will be well.
This is where our society is breaking down: not because of Brexit, but because of the arrogant attitude of powerful Remainers who believe that they have the might (money and position) and therefore the right to pervert the will of the people. I wonder if they cannot be sued for malicious interference with the business of a government elected by the people.
This attitude of ‘might makes right’ has been mirrored in numerous small ways in our society already, from police forces and the Crown Prosecution Services suppressing evidence in rape cases to investigating ‘hate speech’ rather than actual crimes against property, a.k.a burglaries and robberies. It’s also mirrored in the way that the recent wave of #metoo accusations of ‘sexual harassment’ has been magnified to an extent which would have been funny had it not led to the suicide of two politicians who, against all the rules of our formerly civil society under the rule of Law, were not even told what they had been accused of, did not even get the chance to defend themselves, not in any court, but were suspended from their duties. One MP is still hung out to dry.
These events, and this attitude that their might makes them right, giving them the right to dictate to us without having to face the voters in a proper election, this has been slowly seeping in. It’s not ‘because of Brexit’ – to the contrary, it’s ‘because of the EU’, because of Brussels. The Brexit negotiations, the Brexit negotiators sent from the EU, show this to perfection: there’s bullying of our PM, there’s bullying of our representatives, as if we were a Third-World country begging to be allowed in! This is in fact how Brussels regards these negotiations, and it would not surprise me at all if we find that EU lawyers concerned with keeping us in, as subjugated colony, are surreptitiously giving legal advice and help to those different Remainers. This is ‘might makes right’ in a pure form.
Yes, we are seeing the break-down of our society: not because Brexiteers are rampaging through the streets (not yet anyway, but watch out should our will be thwarted!) but because Remainers and the EU are destroying the democratic consensus by their “Legal” actions. They try to turn our society back by 800 years, into a pre-democratic society where ‘might’ alone makes ‘right’. The people stopped them then – can we do it today?
Humbly suggest it’s about time people took Common Purpose seriously.
Something tells me where some of that £18 billion George Soros money went.
I don’t quite see how this case holds any water as Parliament gave Theresa May the power to invoke Article 50. What was the point of this Bill in parliament if she’s not able to use it? There is no need for another vote whether to use it.
BTW the Supreme Court is a supreme court in name only. The court was formed when the Law Lords were abolished from the House of Lords and were replaced by this advisory committee and any decisions they make can be ignored by the government. Tony Blair did his best to destroy the constitutional safe guards, to make an elected dictatorship in readiness to merge the UK into the EU as a region. This court doesn’t have the legal power to make constitutionally binding decisions, so any binding decision has to go onto a foreign court, namely the ECJ to decide on our own constitution. Totally unacceptable.
As much as I disagree with this legal challenge the constitutional safe guards need restoring to Parliament and the Supreme Court.
Icini. The Remoaners plan also includes promoting the single market and customs union ‘benefits’ to all of us stupid knuckle dragging thickos who voted to Leave. We fell for Common market membership now it’s being substituted by Single Market. Project Fear is riding high.
Thanks for a very interesting article Felicia.
I haven`t checked it all through, but I don`t think I found the word “conspiracy” mentioned, which I would guess results in your charge of “malicious interference with the business of a government
elected by the people”
I wrote a double-barrelled comment yesterday in the “Vassal State” thread pointing out that the 17.4 million (plus) electorate are being “divided and ruled” and there does not appear to be a collective voice representing that sector (leavers) to wield this power you attribute to the grassrooters to counter balance and indeed nullify the enemy within – Remainiacs.
I am appealing for the formation of a unified cross party apolitical “movement” to be formed, cloud funded if you like to make this case for us all that is currently going begging.
PS I clicked the red “here” direction above and couldn`t really make head nor tail of it, seemed to be just one long advert from a multiple to spend more money
The grand plan.
Pretend to accept the referendum result.
Negotiate for the softest Brexit possible whilst talking a hard line.
Wipe out UKIP and decimate Labour (at least part worked).
Encourage Remainers to continue the referendum campaign as if we never voted.
Make sure the media stay on side.
Bore the public with Brexit so they cease to pay attention and don’t notice what we are doing.
Now what’s our plan ?
If the Jocks want independence then all they need to do is make sure we English are allowed to vote in any future referendum. Many of us are so p’d off with their whinging that we would be happy to see them gone.
Fully agree. Many of us also piddled off with giving them huge amounts of money which they don’t appreciate. Sooner they get their independence the better off England will be.
Regards.
Don’t be daft, no-one in politics is going to ‘allow’ the poor Scotch to die of starvation. They’ll get to keep all their luvverly Barnet money AND won’t have any obligations attached to it.
Why? Because south of the border we are all good little Christians who are raised to help others.
Those in non-Muslim areas, naturally.
Better off keeping the Jocks and ditching the NIs, their natural home is in a united Ireland, having first waved a magic wand neutralising 400 years of Calvinist bigotry first, of course.
Having said, may I wish everyone in UKIPD a Happy Christmas, and in a true sense of festive irony hope the DUP succeed helping Appeaser May hold back the forces of socialist madness beyond the gates for another election cycle.
Please note; I am not ‘daft’. Such discourtesy does you no credit.
Here are a couple of very relevant videos, they talk about hoe governments don’t represent us. These are definitely worth watching.

Flyer, and everyone who posts on U.K. – I was going to post tomorrow being Christmas Eve, but I thought I might miss you, Flyer, what with time zones and things.
I just wanted to wish you all, including the UKIP Daily Editors a very Happy Christmas and hopefully a renewed fighting spirit in the New Year.
I do read articles and comments – so I know we’re all on the same side just in different places. Let’s hope we can begin to turn things around in 2018.
The best hope is that more people are waking up, Globalists aren’t hiding their agenda any more – Poland may help to bring down the EU – Populism is rising.
Onwards and still upwards – I love you all – I always did X
Dee
