Ref Mrs May’s deal 29th November
An open letter to my MP Mr Gareth Johnson, I hope you are well as an assistant party whip for the party and looking forward to your party challenge ahead electing Conservative council candidates next year… some hope. However, Mrs Theresa May PM is making your job a tad difficult by trying to sell the British public the worst possible deal in British history, which resembles the German Armistice of 11th November 1918. All she needed when she signed this “deal”, was a railway carriage somewhere near Compiègne, France to complete the picture, with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel smirking from the other side of the table, the boot firmly on the other foot. But why? Did we lose a war somewhere recently? I thought we were just leaving the European Union.
So, is Mrs May’s deal the worst in history? I’ll let you be the judge.
I’ve been jotting down some of the things wrong with it
- The UK will still be making vast financial reparations or Danegeld to the EU
- The UK will be contributing to and be part of the European Defence Fund
- The UK will be part of the European Defence Industrial Development Programme
- The UK will be subject to the EU Defence Procurement Directives
- The UK will remain a member of the European Investment Bank
- The UK will still be subject to EU Commission & Council decision making without the UK having any representation.
- The UK will still have to continue the application of EU rules and EU Common Security & Defence Policy (CSDP) in an emerging EU Defence & Security Union controlled by the European Union tied into EU foreign policy as a third country without representation or any say whatsoever.
- The UK will be part of the European Defence Agency
- The “deal” surrenders British national security by subordinating UK defence forces to Military EU control and compromising UK intelligence capabilities.
- May will have sold out Gibraltar
- May will have sold out the UK fishermen and UK fishing industry and associated support industries to the EU as Ted Heath did on the way in.
- May will have sold out our national sovereignty to become a vassal colony of the EU and taxed without representation.
- May has ignored her own manifesto pledge to honour the referendum result of 2016.
- May will have trapped the UK in the EU customs union forever as to release us from this would require a joint decision and unanimous agreement from the EU 27 member states. No expiry date, no legal unilateral ability to terminate customs union membership.
- The UK will be unable to make trade deals with other countries while trapped in the EU Customs Union.
- The European Court of Justice will still rule supreme over UK courts
- The UK paying 39 billion Danegeld and more besides until they come back for more, to surrender our future.
If any of your Conservative council candidates are able to sell this gross betrayal on the doorsteps of Dartford or anywhere else in the UK, I would be astonished, if they weren’t told where to go forth and multiply. What I see is the depressing picture of your total defeat at the ballot box and the political wilderness for generations to come of Conservatives, if they ever recover from this debacle, if this bad deal is approved by Parliament.
Can anyone seriously claim this God awful deal is the only viable solution available when leaving on no deal and trading with the EU as a Third Country, under WTO rules is the default position for leaving without a deal? Although not perfect by a long chalk, it is a viable temporary solution to trade with the world, until our own trading deals are made, in which the US ambassador to the UK said they were “enthusiastic” for a trade pact. He hopes there will be room for an ambitious trade deal with the United States,’ Mr Woody Johnson wrote, so long as the UK actually left the EU and not just in name only.
I think this is the worst deal and MUST be voted down in Parliament on 11th December 2018 and again and again ad infinitum if necessary, until we never see this 585-page capitulation and surrender deal ever again. This is the United Kingdom. Where is the British Bulldog spirit in parliament, if it thinks this deal is acceptable? When did lose a war with the EU? This deal is a surrender document by another name.
Remember what Mrs May said “No deal is better than a bad deal”
This deal is the worst of a bad deal and please feel free to forward this message to Mrs May PM and her entire Cabinet, and the treasonous Olly Robbins, if you like.
Yours sincerely
Simon John esq.
Although I admire the ‘purist’ nature of the original post (and agree with it), the author is (along with most of UKIP) totally failing to see the trap set for us and still thinks we can ‘leave with no deal’. I’m afraid I would have to support the May deal simply because the alternatives are worse.
1. Parliament will ‘take control’ if the May deal / surrender is defeated and ‘No Deal’ will NOT happen (under any circumstances).
2. A Norway / EFTA surrender would likely follow which means Freedom of Movement continues indefinitely. Parliament would wave that through easily.
3. IF (as looks increasingly likely) another referendum follows it will be either the ‘Norway Deal’ or Remain’
The entire ‘establishment’ did NIL planning for a LEAVE vote and have dragged their feet ever since. They totally despise the 17.4 million peasants for daring to go against their wishes. They now stand on the cusp of extracting their terrible revenge on us and oh how they will gloat when the end point arrives! Problem for us is there is not a damn thing we can do about it. A sad, depressing Christmas and New Year awaits us my friends!
I have just sent a copy of this letter to the Treasonous Oliver Letwin of West Dorset.
He has already responded to say that he agrees with Mrs. May, and copied his aide (Jane Gordon Banks) who was under investigation for fraud (and cleared)
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8975243/Oliver-Letwin-faces-questions-as-his-aide-is-cleared-of-fraud.html
Add him to the list of people who need to face the consequences of betraying the British People. They are as thick as thieves.
I assume we must have lost a terrible war which no one told me about, why else would the Prime Minister have agreed her “Surrender & Reparations” back stop plan?
No so much “we” rather a small and powerful subset of us called the City of London with a long history of economic interest in Northern Ireland, see eg https://stationers.org/library-archives/archive-news/649-the-plantation-of-ulster-and-the-city-of-london.html
What PIRA did to win the war was to target that very City of London in such a way as to undermine its economic future in the early 1990s, particularly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Exchange_bombing and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Bishopsgate_bombing.
The City of London response, true to form, was to socialise its liabilities whilst always privatising its gains; just as in the banking failure of 2008 to date, the majority gets to pay for the errors and fraud perpetrated upon them.
Any decent and competent UK government should simply have flipped the onus for any border backstop onto the Irish Republic and their EU masters ie questioned the entire premise that it must be the UK imposing any hard border when in reality without a customs agreement between the UK and EU then it would be for the EU to enforce that border and good luck with that!
In terms of a peoples vote, the place for that to happen is the island of Ireland, a simple referendum held north and south to answer the question, remain in the EU or create a British Isles single market with its biggest trading partner the UK.
Very good letter but I fear you are wasting your time, whatever this country becoming it’s well on it’s way, the pointers are everywhere, the Express today has an article about how badly retired British Troops who served in Northern Ireland in the seventies are being treated by this ‘spineless government’ A government it seems of done nothings but know it alls, but that apart the Express illustrates this article with photographs of American soldiers and others from WW2. with no comments allowed.
At a bank yesterday the ATM’s were down due to a ‘systems fault’. In another town this morning wanting to buy fuel, ‘cash only’ due to a systems fault! Proudly displayed in a chain of retail shops, ‘ It’s alright to change your mind’. To right it is, and I’ve changed mine,
Alas the Daily and Sunday Express is now in the hands of the Trinity Mirror which has the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, The People, as well as the Scottish Sunday Mail and Daily Record in its group. As a consequence it has gone downhill fast. I don’t even bother looking anymore at the DE. Shame.
Me neither. So much for the Daily Express campaign ‘Get Us Out of EU’. The paper has capitulated just like TM. The only item worth reading in the Daily Express these days are Rupert Bear’s Adventures. To come to think of it, it is the only truthful article in the paper full stop. After buying the DE for 20 plus years I moved over to the Daily Mail which is just as bad, and then quickly moved to the Daily Telegraph, an altogether better read, but a lot more expensive. Mind you the first paper I regularly read was the defunct ‘Today’ newspaper. I wonder what political line that would have trod, if it were still about.
Danegeld (Rudyard Kipling)
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
“We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: –
“Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”
Exactly. The 39 billion would just be a down payment on other repeated ransoms, which is why I will from now on only describe this as a Danegeld in comments everywhere I go.
39 billion protection money.
They’re our fish.
My grandchildren fighting and dying for a dozen contemptible EU civil servants.
Keep our Defence Industry.
Can we make our own cars please ? No ! Get on with your ploughing.!
