On 25th March 2019, Ukip polled 9%, taking them above the Lib-Dems for the first time in quite a while. I have, though, to be very honest and say that I have often doubted that the Lib-Dems have consistently polled at 10% for so long, bearing in mind they have disappeared from the theatre of politics.
We are, in law, on a statute royally accented, supposed to leave on the 29th March at 11 pm, the EU and all its institutions. I need hardly remind erstwhile readers that we were told by 500 MPs when they voted to enact the Article 50 procedure and those same MPs then in 2017 stood again for election on a manifesto that promised to honour the outcome of the referendum in 2016.
Now the Prime Minister has totally gone against all those promises and the fact that she has over 108 times at the despatch box claimed that we are leaving on the 29th. She stood at the despatch box and stated the totally bloody obvious that there was no support for her so-called deal, a deal that is in fact a treaty, which if enacted into law we would be stuck with. No one has ever said that, have they? We were never told this withdrawal agreement is in fact a treaty. She does not therefore wish to offer up her deal for a further undoubtedly embarrassing loss.
Instead we now have an extension which, within the dea, overrides the statute and Magna Carta. This extension is to be either 12th April or 22nd May. Two weeks more. As Mr Dodds of the DUP quite rightly asked, what for? What is the point of an extension? So, we are redundant and our vote on the 23rd June three years ago is to be vacated.
In a remarkable set of circumstances, an extraordinary turn against the electorate and the people, Parliament has decided to take charge. The very real prospect of a second referendum, before the first has even been enacted, is on the horizon. Either that or worse; if the remainers really get there way, we will also possibly face a revocation of the Article 50 process to leave us firmly locked into the gang of 27.
Stunned and shocked is my state, head in hands and a shaking of my head is taking place very much so, each and every day. What next? They say that over the previous weekend 1 million marched in London (the Police say it was a third of that number) but that matters not a jot as far as the bent lying and totally pro-EU press in this country are concerned.
What these people cannot fathom is that they were marching to give up our sovereignty to an unelected executive that is demanding openly that the other 27 members of the EU hand over large swathes of their sovereignty in order to quicken up the process to enslave them into a super state of Europe (the grand plan all along).
In France, the Gilet Jaunes are into their 20th week of outrage and protest. Macron their president is evil; he has imported mercenaries and they are mercilessly beating these protesters. The violence is totally shocking, yet what is more shocking is that it is not reported by any mainstream media. This past weekend a lady in her seventies was badly beaten to the ground and received a fractured skull.
The government has said we have three thousand troops on stand-by, but, only in case of logistical support being needed in the case of no deal. Do not be fooled, anyone, for a micro second, they are on stand- by to put down any insurrection post-revocation. We are on the precipice of civil unrest in this country, nearer to it than we have been since 1664 and the uprising against parliament lead by one Oliver Cromwell.
Older ex-PMs such as Major and Blair going to the EU openly speaking against the country that served them well, alongside disenfranchised current Tory and Labour MPs, is seen by the public as nothing less than treason. There will be a reckoning, there simply has to be, let`s hope and pray it’s at the ballot box and not on the streets.
Recent “go slows” on motorways have taken place, quickly shut down by the police they had little effect; larger more rigorously prosecuted blockages will come. A run on the banks, refusal to pay council tax and the avoidance of any EU goods for purchase are planned too. People are truly fed up. It takes one person to lead this, pull it all together and we have a fight.
The Tories are, in my view, toast at any elections coming up, including the next general election. Labour will fair no better. They have openly called for a second referendum, as have the Lib Dems. So, the public looking for an alternative are finding Ukip again. Ukip have never blinked from a total freedom charge away from the EU. Ukip believe absolutely in the United Kingdom. Ukip have a mantra and an ethos that this great nation, this Great Britain, should be alone to stand free and tall amongst the rest. The party can and will restore our values and merits that made us great in the first place.
Ukip have had, since 2010, many radical, well thought out resonating policies, many of which have in fact been nicked by the Tories or Labour. We simply have to get that message out again, common sense, speak to the people and be honest and upfront as we always have. This country needs us, this country is sunk beyond all recognition and needs a new direction, a new pathway cemented in our traditional values that allow the freedom of expression and the freedom of enterprise in derived of liberty and truth. There is nothing else, other than decay, lawlessness and a steady slow slip to oblivion unless Ukip stands up the plate and fulfils its destiny.
UKIP’s support would be nearer 20% by now had GB not taken it down a blind alley. What a wasted opportunity!
Here,Here, Here and Here. Could not agree more. Then to announce that UKIP’s rally in Whitehall is being sponsored by Tommy Robinson is just sheer stupidity. It is the electorate at large we have to appeal to NOT Tommy Robinson supporters. Batten is no leader, and we need to be rid of him come May.
What a spiteful thing to say. Farage was a brilliant spokesman but a lousy leader: what kind of leader dismisses his troops at the crunch time of the battle? So who do you want to replace Batten with, another unreliable or saboteur? Batten always said the only way to brexit was to vote for a genuine eurosceptic party who would bypass referendums and article 50 and repeal 1972 act, but voters didn’t take the opportunity offered. I think Batten is making a brave effort to pick up the pieces.
M,
Good post,
I came away from the EGM in Birmingham in Feb with a feeling of elation hearing G Batten had the leadership after voting out bolton who was in my book, a farage conduit for continuing input into UKIP.
I have never looked back as a party member.
I disagree both with your numbers and with your idea. I wonder what percentage of Brits are in favour of paedophilia.
Tommy’s campaign has been focussed on drawing attention to this scourge and stopping it being swept under the carpet by the authorities. Their attempts to silence him and the lengths they went too to do so, including a massive media campaign has resulted in a surprising number of people condemning his brave efforts and in so doing, unwittingly one hopes, giving the appearance of supporting paedophiles. From what I’ve determined Tommy has wide support from all sectors other than those directly or indirectly engaged in this wicked behaviour.
Claims of racism are, I think, an attempt to distract people and discourage them from making life difficult for the paedophile gangs and their wealthy customers.
To me the message is clear “Look what we’ve done to Tommy Robinson. Look the other way, don’t interfere, or we’ll do the same to you.”
I admire GB for his principles, hard work and dedication but he is, in my opinion, politically inept – especially on the TR issue. TR has the same attributes but he carries a lot of baggage. It needs to be remembered that you have to be elected before you can change anything.
Well stated;
Sadly GB has lost the opportunity for ever, taking UKIP down with him. TR never had a chance when the MSM raged against him; speaking the truth seems to carry no weight these days.
So, you think that because the MSM raged against TR, we should all just fold and do as we are told??
I and a great many others, think differently.
If we allow the MSM to silence TR, we also allow them to silence us all.
JT,
Complete and utter rubbish,
Gerard Batten is already owed a great deal of thanks from the UKIP membership, no doubt of that.
Plus when it dawns on people his personal advisor link to Tommy Robinson
is going to pay big dividends, in the long run another round of thanks is heading his way.
And UKIP continues to grow. That’s political ineptitude I, for one, can live with.
Membership has increased but general support has stagnated – the latest poll shows UKIP on 4% and the Brexit Party [with no members] on 5%. This indicates that UKIP has lost its way.
MK,
I totally agree with your post, I would personally like to see the personal advisor title change to one of
a full blown working partnership.
Remain supporters are being lied to and misled about the true nature of the EU. The consequences of long term future membership, loss of sovereignty, supremacy of EU law, etc, are hardly, if ever, discussed by the main stream media or politicians. They should be careful what they wish for.
No I’m not fooled by these people for one minute; the situation is very grave. The European Union has a history of undermining the sovereignty of its member countries and Britain will be no different. I don’t think there was ever any intention by the EU or the majority of our government to let us leave the EU, we’ve been very skillfully played.
What an evil traitor of a Prime Minister, she wasn’t negotiating, she simply went to Brussels for some fine food and wine only to return with a surrender agreement written by Merkel. Now our politicians after voting this agreement down are deciding that if Theresa May sets a date for her resignation, giving them a shot at her job, then they’ll vote for this evil and treacherous agreement, it’s suddenly a good idea. You couldn’t make this stuff up, our politicians are quite willing to sell us out if it’s in their own interests, we are the last people that matter.
The EU not only needs our money but it’s too close to getting its hands on our armed forces and nuclear arsenal, you didn’t really think that they were going to let an opportunity like this slip did you?
We don’t really have a government or opposition that is strong, cohesive or loyal enough to stand up to the EU anymore, both are in crisis and the EU are experts at exploiting situations like this. Mark my words; what we are witnessing is a coup, aided and abetted by traitors in our government.
With three thousand troops on standby and another ten thousand foreign troops, largely from EU countries due to arrive, the situation is dire indeed. I think the ballot box solution will be too little too late.
Our country will be very lucky if it is to ever have a meaningful general election ever again, we are in a drastic situation and it will require drastic solutions. I know this is hard to believe but I know that people were in a similar state of disbelief before the start of the first and second world wars.
Absolutely correct, flyer ! I totally agree with every detail of your post.
Where is a certain Ms G. Miller and why is she not taking the Government to court this time. After all, their crimes this time are very much greater. In fact, outright TREASON !
