Sir,
According to this article in the DT, Jacob Rees-Mogg is set to vote for TMay’s WA trap, if the Backstop is neutralised. Even if true that is still bad news. Why?
Because unlike International Treaties such as NAFTA and NATO, the WA does not have escape clauses and it is a trap.
Also transition was supposed to end in 2020, but TMay seems to envisage an extension to 2022, while Art. 132 says that it can be extended up to ‘31-12-20XX
If other ERG MPs take the same view as JRM – then the E.U. and their Quislings will have won, while the U.K. will pay £39bn to be trapped.
The only realistic way to escape is for a majority of MPs to vote against the WA, so that we leave on WTO terms. They have no mandate to do anything else but it looks increasingly unlikely that they will honour their promise.
Respectfully, Roger Arthur

Channel 4 ran a programme on Feb 25th implying that many Brexiteers are nationalists, who can’t forget the war and yearn for glories past.
They totally ignore the threat posed by unelected E.U. rulers with their expansionist ambitions – who are more likely to cause war, than reduce the risk of it.
Van Rompuy said: “The EU intends ultimately to control every country on the Western Flank of Russia. If the public doesn’t want it then WE DO IT ANYWAY.”
Many of the 17.4m who voted to leave do not want that. They want regulations to be proposed in Parliament by MPs who are accountable to them and who will decide when we go to war.
They do not and will never accept, that the era of their nation state is OVER.
Why doesn’t Channel 4 grasp that the E.U. will only reform towards Fiscal, Political Military Union and is bent on the emasculation of Parliament?
Trying to brand 17.4m leavers as nationalists, to make the case to remain, is asinine.

Sir,
Theresa May has systematically broken every one of her “red lines” over the last two years and is just conceding her last act of betrayal.
Where are the Brexiteers? Why have there not been howls of protest about the treachery currently being enacted?
I cannot help but draw the conclusion that their loyalty to the Conservative party is higher than their loyalty to the British People and their constituents who they purport to represent. Otherwise, why not act loudly and publicly to demonstrate the total unacceptability of their behavior? They could even leave the Tory party and form a new breakaway party called the Democratic Party. This would clearly distinguish them from all the others.
One possible solution would be to bring down the Tory government two weeks before the 29th March deadline so that Parliament would be in recess during an election campaign and on Brexit day. Brexit would then happen with a “no deal” automatically as Parliament would be unable stop it.
Parliament was elected on a mandate of implementing the result of the referendum on leaving the EU. Thus, they were elected under false pretences as it quite clear that a majority of the House of Commons had no intention of honouring this pledge. Millions like me are currently disenfranchised but I suspect that this could change rapidly if Brexit is betrayed and then retribution will be extracted in spades at the ballot box for decades to come.

Sir,
According to Mussolini (as quoted by “anon” on Urban Dictionary, of which an abbreviated summary follows) fascism can be described thus:
“Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State.”
“…Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently levelled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage…”
“…The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone…”
“…For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; and renunciation is a sign of decay and of death…”
“…But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement…”
“…Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive…”
Quite so.
In its expansionist programme, in its reservation of actual power to its elites, and in its disregard of the well-being of its peoples (demonstrated par excellence in Greece) it is clear that the EU is fundamentally a fascist empire.
So it is legitimate and indeed pertinent to ask: in what way does our present EU puppet parliament elevate the values of democracy over those of fascism?
We in the UK don’t yet have the ugly manifestation of force against dissidents, but things are different just across the channel, as the treatment meted out to les gilet jaunes demonstrates.
There is still time to wriggle out of this cul de sac by getting MPs to vote for WTO Brexit – I suggest that we all point out their fascist behaviour to our MPs and urge them publicly to recoil from fascism and revert to democracy, before things go too far.
Respectfully, Jim Makin
Jacob Rees-Mogg is every bit as duplicitous as his boss. Worse even. He had me fooled all right, I thought I could trust him, what a sucker I was.
Mr. King
What’s wrong with being a nationalist. The word has been degraded by traitors and their tools but I don’t give a toss about their definitions, only mine – someone who loves their nation and wishes to defend it from external and internal enemies.
Global warming is just the Eu and Germany getting ready to invade Russia again.
It is the worst scam of all time perpetrated upon the people of the civilised world. Just follow the money.
That the EU and the globalist movement in general is fundamentally evil I have no doubt. Here’s an interesting article about one aspect of globalism that we’ve discussed here often.
“THE NAZI ROOTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT”
https://oldmanoftheski.com/2017/11/30/the-nazi-roots-of-the-environmental-movement/
If you read the references at the end of the article it’s very interesting.
It seems that the green or environmental movement is all about controlling resources and deciding who has what. Along with controlling economies, finances, food and just about every other resource.
People here have commented about how we’re going to be forbidden from burning wood and coal etc. This will leave people and in particular the elderly little choice but to heat their homes using fuel from metered and government controlled sources at whatever extortionate price they consider to be reasonable.
As usual the elderly and most vulnerable in society will be the first to suffer, it’s an amazing coincidence that these people are the most vociferous opponents to globalisation.
It seems then that all of this green, environmental virtue signalling is really just about power, control and genocide: well the Nazis were no strangers to that were they and it seems that the EU have similar aspirations.
Great Britain is just the current battlefront in the war against globalisation and unfortunately it has almost become a distraction while the battle is fought worldwide. Brexit is just one battle in a global war and we must win it for the sake of the wider world as well as ourselves.
Indeed the EU is evil and, whatever it takes, it must be destroyed and its architects prevented from rebuilding it. Destroying it might well be our only way of leaving the way things are going. At least we have some potential allies in Europe.
