In October 2018 as a result of it becoming obvious the ‘deal’ that Theresa May had obtained was not going to represent a real Brexit and was totally biased in favour of the EU we, a group of Constitutional Lawyers and legally trained Brexiteers, founded “The People’s Brexit” as a Campaign and Research Group.
We already knew that the UK was in the EU illegally and one of us had even written to the Attorney General at the time of the Miller case (December 2016) with legal facts of this, but the letter was totally ignored and received no reply. Despite this snub, we were allegedly having Brexit anyway, so we continued to put our trust in the Government to deliver upon the result of the 2016 Referendum.
After this, from research in April 2017, one of our legal researchers had discovered what we consider to be the ‘Holy Grail’ of Brexit which was the Hansard (the official Parliamentary record, now freely available online) report dated 1st June 1961 (Hansard reference: HC Deb 01 June 1961 vol 641 cc414-7) when backbench Conservative MP Edward du Cann requested a Referendum or General Election for the People before official negotiations to join the EEC commenced.
Based upon the fact that the People were “anxious” about it stating, “many people think that this decision whether to go into the Common Market is the gravest which Britain has had to make since 1939”, he also stated that the People did not understand or know about the political implications that membership would entail and went on to state “before far-reaching political arrangements are made there ought to be some clear expression of opinion by the electorate either at an election or through a referendum”. In his response the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, agreed that Mr du Cann was right in everything he said, but refused to give the People their democratic right of a vote.
This also exposes the truth that before negotiations even (officially!) began, the EEC/EU was never about trade and always about setting up a Federal Superstate and this truth was deliberately lied about and hidden from the public by the politicians from then until now. It is nearly sixty years since the public could and should have had their say on whether or not to even start negotiations to join the EEC/EU.
The reason why this very reasonable request was refused was because Macmillan knew that the People would have, whether in a Referendum or General Election, been totally against even negotiations let alone joining. This is the same reason why the People were denied any say at all on joining between 1961 until the UK actually joined the EEC/EU on 1/1/73, despite numerous requests and attempts by ‘Anti-Marketeer’ MPs to force Referendums and General Elections on the issue.
We trusted Theresa May’s Government to deliver a real not a fake Brexit, but held onto this evidence. In October 2018 we informed the Prime Minister of this evidence as well as numerous ‘Brexit supporting’ MPs and Ministers. Since then we have written countless letters with more evidence to MPs that have been largely ignored as, we have since realised, they exposed the inconvenient truth. We have now given up writing to the current MPs as all of them are determined to protect their Conservative/ Labour/ Liberal Party predecessors, as all three parties played a major role in illegally delivering the UK into the EEC/EU.
We decided to build upon our research of Hansard to see what we could discover and found it was like discovering King Tut’s tomb with all the Brexit treasures we unearthed! The politicians’ deception and the lies were there for us to see in the Hansard reports and we wanted the world to know about them too and so contacted the MSM and unsurprisingly never received any replies from them either!
Determined to inform the public on our findings, we put articles on our website www.thepeoplesbrexit.org. We have written articles for non-MSM and a book:”Brexit: The Heath and EEC Conspiracy – The Truth in Brief”, (available on Amazon), which has been very well received. We have tried to write about a very complicated deception dating back nearly 70 years and make it an easy quick read so that people can get up to speed very quickly with information that has taken us many hours over many months to assemble.
Edward Heath, the Conservative Prime Minister who illegally signed the Treaty of Accession to the EEC/EU on 22nd January 1972, played the main part in the lies and deception that illegally forced the UK into the EEC/EU on 1/1/73, commencing with his controversial pro-European integration maiden speech in 1950. However, many other politicians also played large parts in it including Harold Macmillan, Harold Wilson, Jeremy Thorpe, Roy Jenkins etc. helped by a very willing House of Lords (with just a few exceptions).
The current MPs in the House of Commons have now exposed, with their wilful denial of Democracy, the reality that it has always been the Politicians v the People over the EEC/EU. We were sold out by our own elected Politicians and this is continuing right now. The only difference between now and the 1960s and 1970s is, they cannot hide what they are doing any more behind the closed doors of Parliament and exclude the People! Further, why should the People of today literally be paying for the deception and the betrayal of the politicians of yesterday? The truth must now be known by everyone.
Our evidence including our new Hansard evidence and previously classified Government documents gives us indisputable proof that the UK was taken into the EEC/EU on an Illegal, Unconstitutional and Undemocratic basis against the will of the People and Parliament. To rectify this injustice it is important to take legal action against the EU, for the primary role they played, under International Law for Compensation and full co-operation for an immediate Brexit under WTO terms.
The majority are aware that democracy has been ‘bypassed’ since we joined the EEC in 1973. We have deliberately been refused a genuine choice, having always been offered a choice of pro-EU parties, and candidates were likely selected on their pro-EU sympathies, which is why we have such a dim, dishonest and deceitful lot filling the Commons and Lords. Thank goodness for UKIP and Farage, who exposed the lies and deceit. Without them, we would never be aware, never mind escape, the undemocratic nature of our Parliament.
“the UK was taken into the EEC/EU on an Illegal, Unconstitutional and Undemocratic basis against the will of the People and Parliament”. Be that as it may, the unfortunate fact remains that, in the Referendum of 1975, the British people, with a two to one majority, legalised the position by agreeing to remaining in the EEC/EU. I know that we were lied to by the Government and the Labour Party (with a few objections from both sides, such as Tony Benn and Enoch Powell), but we made our choice and cannot blame others for our stupidity. But, just as we accepted the 1975 result, we should be entitled to acceptance of the 2016 Referendum.
I would have thought you could never legitimize an illegal act or purpose and particularly in this case where I believe the voters would not have had their attention directed to the specific illegality they were endorsing.
I would also consider that just because an illegal act had been apparently legitimized it still cannot legitimize the continuing following acts.
I know Blair has amended the Treason acts, but this illegality must have taken place before the dastardly Blair got to work and for a Nation to cause its Sovereignty to be impaired is to my mind treason and even after all this time I would have thought treason never expires and our courts should take it on.
Following the Benn Supreme Court verdict where the court had no hesitation in taking on merely a statutory type case an d claiming competence, they should declare the illegality of the original act and that the government should proceed as though entry to the Common Market (and succeeding treaties had never taken place at all.
i.e. restore the Constitutional position to that which existed at 1/1/1973 which apparently is the date we entered the Common Market illegally.
Just as a bytheby, I knew as a mere lad in 1961 that this Common Market was a first step to World Government and I have letters to my future wife proving that..
I actually said “This could form the basis for in a couple of hundred years time “World Government”
Roll on 2161 – glad its unlikely I`ll be around
A Military Coup?? I hope not. There are a few heads I’d like to chop off but Cromwell’s subsequent actions were not to my taste at all. Military coups ALWAYS lead to military dictatorships surely. We were incredibly lucky to get to the ‘glorious revolution’ and our constitutional monarchy. I do not want to put this nation through that again.
Good luck to the Legal challengers though.
I’ve experienced a couple of fairly recent military coups. Both were necessary to remove corrupt governments and elected governments followed. The last one eliminated disruptive mass demonstrations, dealt with serious corruption and implemented common sense policies before allowing elections. We will see if the present elected government serves their country and people well but economic trends suggest that may not be the case.
May I copy and circulate this article in its entirety?
You may – but you must say that it was published here first and provide the link to INDEPENDENCE Daily. Please also note that this article was written for INDEPENDENCE Daily.
This is a game changer! I am getting the book thank you.
“To rectify this injustice it is important to take legal action against the EU, for the primary role they played, under International Law for Compensation and full co-operation for an immediate Brexit under WTO terms.”
Legal action? I would suggest that this is a fast becoming a case for military action (what’s left of it), our government, its judiciary and other branches have become representatives of a hostile foreign power and in the past we’ve been to war for a lot less.
In the end this is all going to come down to which way the military will swing, I still have high hopes that they will come down on the side of the people.
The way that the military have been treated should ensure that they are on our side. However, the numbers (thanks to Cameron) are likely insufficient to mount a successful outright coup. However selective action is still a possibility…
Isn’t our Military and Intel services (MI5 MI6 GCHQ) swinging under the control of the EU on Nov 1st with anything but a WTO NO DEAL?

This video needs putting on the front page of Independence Daily and spreading widely. This is frightening!!!
Back in 2007 a 5 part article was published on UkipDaily (Defence of the Realm: Military and Other Considerations). Part 5 in particular (and references therein) covered some of the points related to integration with the EU.
Maybe Viv can provide a link for those interested. Obviously much is becoming clearer now.
Wholeheartedly agree with you flyer
I suspect government will continue to subject our military to EU control after Brexit. I cannot recall any comment to the contrary from government. Indeed this has been going on under the radar for many years; they will not give it up easily.
