Ten years ago the MPs expenses scandal gave the general public a rare insight into just how corrupt our politicians are. Once the initial shock had died down, in customary Westminster and Mainstream Media style, the whole scandal was swept under the rug.
Now just as years of Brexit betrayal and subterfuge have left our politicians public esteem at almost historic lows, the whole expenses scandal has exploded into the limelight and onto the front pages of the Daily Telegraph, see here.
I’ve often in previous articles referred to the expenses scandal, I never did forget but I’m very suspicious as to why it should pop up again at this particular time. The Telegraph article asks if anything has changed much, but recent political events suggest that not only have things not changed, they are in fact a lot worse.
It seems to me that our politicians, our supposed representatives, not content to screw the public for substantial sums of our money, they’ve now gone a few steps further and attempted to sell out our entire country. The European Union makes no secret about the fact that it would like or even need to form a borderless European superstate with a centralised European Parliament, to do this, logically they’d have to destroy our own government. Isn’t this just what is happening?
The Conservatives have been rightly given a drubbing at the UK council elections, losing thirteen hundred seats. The Brexit Party (TBP) are set to win big at the European Parliament elections, we the people may feel that we’re fighting back, but like Brexit itself, are we being duped, is this all just really part of the plan?
What of The Brexit Party? Well, UKIP has long been accused of being a single issue party but the operative word is independence, it refers to an independent Britain, far less of a single issue than TBP
Brexit shouldn’t be an issue by now but the only way that it makes sense in the long term to launch a party like this is if there is no real intention to let Brexit happen. I’ve written about this in my article: ‘The Political Paradox’. TBP then seems to be far more of a single issue party than UKIP ever was and I’m very suspicious that they are just part of the deceptive pantomime that is being played out.
Theresa May is still determined to get her treacherous Withdrawal Agreement signed off, it is a testament as to the depths to which our government has sunk that Mrs May can even suggest such a deceptive treason and get away with it. I’m certain that we’ve executed people for a lot less in the past.
Some people may think that if Mrs May’s Withdrawal Agreement is signed off, at least we’ll be leaving the European Union – let’s have a think about this. The Withdrawal Agreement amounts to Brexit In Name Only and still leaves the EU with a huge amount of control over our country. As we know, the EU plays a very long game, we have to ask ourselves where our country would be in a few years time.
I don’t think any of us are under any illusions as to the type of people our politicians really are after the expenses scandal and three years of Brexit negotiations: let me spell it out.
What we have today are career politician that as the Army would say, are NFTS, they’d probably never never be able to hold down a real job. Useless people that hide behind fancy titles and are easily bought being the greedy, self serving parasites that they are, they are obviously easily controlled by those with supranational ambitions. Among the motley Westminster crew, there is more than a smattering of sexual perverts and pedophiles that I’m very sure are very easily blackmailed.
These are the people that we rely on to represent us and look after our interests, traditionally the LibLabCon, look where it has got us today after many decades of their rule. Our democracy is all but gone, along with our industry, economy and way of life. Not a great track record is it? What we will have in reality as our mainstream political parties collapse is a power vacuum that will be exploited by the EU.
If Theresa May gets her Withdrawal Agreement through the Commons, do you really think that we’ll have strong leadership to represent our interests against European Union arbitration? I think you’d have to be very naive to believe that.
It seems to me that Brexit has been a distraction and everything is going according to plan for the European Union who have found a very neat way to deal with one of their more troublesome member states, making them completely subservient with no representation whatsoever.
While we’ve been distracted by the Brexit pantomime, plans have been going quietly ahead to merge our military with the EU who are close to getting the keys to our nuclear arsenal. We already have ten thousand European troops on our soil, supposedly for joint military exercises (pull the other one), we still haven’t heard about when these troops are leaving, I’d suggest never and with more on the way.
Let’s face it we’ve been had, there is nothing of the above that even begins to resemble the Brexit that we voted for, it was never the intention to allow us to leave the European Union. I’m sure that Theresa May, once her treason is complete will walk away from political life to a very comfortable and wealthy retirement, as did Tony Blair.
We’d better hope that something rather unfortunate (depending on your perspective) happens to Theresa May before she can get her Withdrawal Agreement past the Commons. We’d better hope and fight for a real Brexit.
I have waded through so many comments about Brexit and the EU, that I’m really sick and tired of the subject, however this piece hit home BIG TIME ! TRUTH is something that cannot be beaten ! Recon that being sick and tired is part of the game that this Government and the EU are banking on, so I’m back, up and running again !
Lib/Lab/Con have had their day, and what is left from their tenure of office is just an unworkable mess. CHANGE is now needed and that can be delivered by the likes of UKIP or TBP and the only problem is the lack of news coverage, in particular to UKIP ! Change was made by me from being a floating voter, that generally voted Conservative, to taking membership of UKIP, and a need to take on UKIP’s manifesto, which is excellent !
I remember that never being a Tory, I voted Conservative in the belief that they would do less harm to the Nation than the other Parties on offer.- I admit my mistake now ! ….. Thanks to Mrs May, that idea has been blown to hell, and I am in serious doubt about our Nation’s security with an EU Army presence in my country !- If people are slow witted enough to continue supporting the old Parties, then we are doomed to have our freedom and democracy flushed down the toilet.- I’M DOING MY BIT RIGHT NOW !
Another accurate, thought provoking article Flyer. Thank you.
On the subject of TBP not having any thing like a full manifesto, that’s very wise.
I left UKIP recently as UKIP Scotland stupidly and unnecessarily came out in favor of abolishing the Scottish Parliament. What really bugged me was that the leadership didn’t consult the membership.
I reckon TBP is doing the right thing in not getting involved in policies other than to deliver Brexit and reform our rotten democracy.
How can a group of MEPs (they look set to win a good number on the 23rd) deliver Brexit? What is their definition of Brexit? May thinks she is delivering Brexit or pretends she does. They cannot even formulate policies in the EU let alone here.
To do this they need to win MPs in a GE and for that they need policies and a manifesto surely? And that’s the point the establishment will attack them as they attack UKIP’s perfectly reasonably stances.
Also even a successful movement like 5 star has members and some kind of internal accountability but TBP is just a subscription service entirely driven by Nigel. What if others demand input or if he leaves summarily?
Early days I accept but it feels too much like a pressure group based on a Cult of Personality and no amount of pressure will shift the likes of the Prime Limpet.
Presumably if they’re MEPs they can vote to kick the UK out of the EU.
If the Commission get them the chance too. I’m not sure but I think the extensions May begged for were agreed just by the Commission.
I don’t think Brexit on it’s own will reform our “rotten democracy”, there is much work to be done in this country for which we will need policies, and robust ones at that.
Whilst I share your view on Scottish Ukip’s policy on the Scottish Parliament, and I made my own view known to Janice, I cannot see that leaving Ukip is any answer. In my opinion the SNP pose a major threat to Scotland and the Union. Who else in Scotland has policies to combat them? I don’t see any and The Brexit Party with their single policy I don’t think is enough.
The SNP is not a localised issue to Scotland in my opinion, although they present their electoral challenge only in Scotland, but an issue for the whole UK.
I don’t think many mp’s have read the 600 pages of capitulation, a lot possibly can’t read. I have read it twicefor my sins. It is easy to see how many people give up thats why it was so written. If they have not read it they should not be voting on it and by the way the vote even remainrs yoy can see they have not or even understood what they have been told by the likes of oily rag.They donnot even understand they are voting for their own demise.They will lose alll pension rights and no redundancies as they have given their jobs away. When will an mp stand up and explain in plain english what it says then have a vote
TBP is a ‘one issue’ party – UKIP is populist and has a thorugh Manifesto.
As for the current Parliament – well there is simply NO business going through it currently initiated by the Governement. Just general debates. there was a piece of legislation passed the other day – ‘Wild Animals in Circuses Act’ apparently this affects the interets of just three circuses and 20 creatures! Non contentious business it was passed Nem Con.
“If Theresa May gets her Withdrawal Agreement through the Commons, do you really think that we’ll have strong leadership to represent our interests against European Union arbitration? I think you’d have to be very naive to believe that.”
Append that to every e-mail you send; print it on every letterhead and envelope.
“…the deceptive pantomime”
Indeed; I still don’t trust Farage.
Those members of the public who are Tory and Labour Party Brexiteers need to find their cojonnes and throw in their membership cards and fast. These people will never change these parties whose representatives are mostly bonded to career structures that embrace the European project, internationalism, mass movements of peoples, crony capitalism and corporatism.
The Brexit Party should be prosecuted under the Trades Descriptions Act because it’s actually not a party, but essentially a money-making racket fronted by one egomaniac who has surrounded himself with a hand-picked clique of largely ‘respectable’ Tory free marketeers. Not even a membership and no national executive to hold ‘The Leader’ to account. How ironic it is that Farage has been complaining for years that the European Union is an unelected dictatorship, yet here he is, fronting an organisation in which he determines policy and strategy, and is answerable to no one but himself!
Another thought: I wonder how many of those chums of Farage who have emerged as leading candidates for TBP had to pay the £100 demanded on its website to be considered for selection.
Great article. The modicum of optimism I have stems from the fact that history goes in cycles. No tyrannical regime lasts for ever, as they are fundamentally anti-human. People have been too complacent for too long, but there is a distinct awakening going on, so the chances of the EU having it all their own way are decreasing. The acceration in the rate of integration we are witnessing is a reflection of the elite fear of this awakening.
Personal and/or party Manifestos to be legally binding. .Legal promises. .enforcable against all parties…………………Second law of clean up.
Parliamentary rules and constitution enforceable …………………………Third law of clean up
Universal right to bear arms (Defined )……………Fourth etc
Each of these laws is a small step back to cleanliness and democracy, which mirror the coeruption that has taken place over the last hundred years by politically sneakiness………………
A manifesto is usually presented as new governemetn Business in Queen’s Speech – so the legislative programme is meant to be what the the Manifesto promised.
Only allow someone from and in your neighborhood to be your represenrative……First law of clean up.
Amen!
I really like this woman, she’s a patriot that has joined a motorcycle club and feels she’s joined a two wheeled army of patriots. See here:

I love motorcycles, I can see it all now: ‘The Independent Motorcycle Club,’ complete with patches and regalia, we could put the wind up certain people.
This is a very interesting video, Love it!
