[Ed: this is the first part of a five-part series which will be published over the coming days here on UKIP Daily.]
A transition period lasting at least two years after March 2019 when the UK will have to abide by EU laws including new ones; a massive “divorce bill” currently slated to be around £39 billion and probably much more ; the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to have a role in the UK justice system not only during the transition period but perhaps for years after the UK has supposedly left the EU; the cut off point for EU citizens gaining rights of residence to be at least March 2019 (and probably substantially longer) ; EU citizens with rights of residence in the UK to have the right to bring in their relatives, spouses and even their partners to the UK and the UK and the EU to be in alignment on standards and procedures when it comes to trade because of the “hard border” problem between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. All that and more tells the story of Theresa May’s rapid betrayal of Brexit.
What has motivated the woman to dishonour the Brexit vote so obviously and emphatically? It can only be attributed to one of two things or a combination of both, viz:
- May is simply out of her depth and acted out of fear.
- May is an unrepentant remainer at heart who is quite happy to see circumstances arise which allow Brexit to be effectively nullified.
It is unreasonable to expect May to be wholeheartedly working to achieve a true Brexit because someone fundamentally opposed to a course of action will be unable to support it with enthusiasm. Indeed, it is more than likely that a person in such a situation will be secretly pleased if the attempted course of action fails. At worst the person will use their involvement in the course of action to sabotage its desired end.
It is also worth remembering that May is the worst type of remainer, namely, a cowardly one as she showed with her near invisibility during the referendum campaign. That was the behaviour of an opportunist, not a person acting out of principle and opportunists can never be relied on to do anything other than follow their own interest. May will have decided that her own interest in this situation is to actively sabotage Brexit or at least to drag things out in the hope that, Micawber-like, something will turn up to destroy Brexit.
May’s capitulation to the EU should surprise no one who has followed her ministerial career. As Home Secretary May was constantly making encouraging statements about reducing immigration but never doing anything to make reality match her words. This habit of talking tough and then not seeing a stated policy through to fruition extended to much of what she did. This is also how she has behaved over Brexit, espousing tough slogans such as ‘Brexit means Brexit’ and then collapsing in a heap when faced with a hostile EU.
Here is what May said in her campaign to be Tory leader and PM:
“There will be no attempts to remain inside the EU, no attempts to rejoin it by the back door, and no second referendum. The country voted to leave the European Union, and as prime minister I will make sure that we leave the European Union.”
And here she is on 11 December 2017 about her “offer” (in reality a modern Danegeld) of £39 billion to allow the negotiation of the UK’s relationship with the EU post-Brexit to begin:
“It [the£39 bn] depends upon a broader agreement being reached – as I have said, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed – so if there is no agreement then our offer also falls away.”
Based on her past behaviour can anyone rationally believe May will be willing to walk away with no deal? Moreover, even if a hallway decent deal is done on trade the UK would still be left with all the concessions May has already made and some of those in themselves make a true Brexit impossible, for example, the alignment of the whole of the UK with EU trading standards and procedures.
Remainer domination of the positions of power and influence
It is true that May is in a stickier position now than a year she was a year ago because of the result of the General Election which she called that resulted in the loss of her Commons majority. But that is no excuse for her weakness when dealing with the EU for the Election did not fundamentally alter the Commons arithmetic. It is marginally easier now for the Remainers to amend or vote down legislation or pass motions hindering Brexit but that is all. Even if May had not called an election her Government would still have been vulnerable to Remainer attempts to destroy Brexit for we have a Remainer dominated Cabinet, a Remainer dominated Tory Parliamentary Party, a Remainer dominated House of Commons and a Remainer dominated House of Lords.
Nor is it just the those with a formal political position who have been grinding the Remainer axe incessantly. Tony Blair has made no bones about wanting to stop Brexit at any cost and Nick Clegg has come down in favour of a second referendum and advocated the votes of the under 30s count double.
Outside of ex-politicians there have also been attempts to delay and complicate Brexit by wealthy people such as Gina Miller who forced a judicial review which resulted in the Supreme Court forcing the Government to legislate before activating Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Folks,
At the moment we are witnessing a full state sponsored psychological operation (PSYOP) to reverse Brexit. These operations have been used by governments all round the world to zap opponents morale and change public consensus.
In the UKs case, in conjunction with the deliberate bad deal, the remain side are attempting to change the public’s Brexit opinion. They have witnessed more people wanting to leave and are doing their best to change this.
Polling:
Look the recent poll, reported by most the the main news outlets:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-second-referendum-latest-poll-remain-ten-points-leave-bmg-a8114406.html
No-one questioned its validity, sample size or methodology, for example amny of those sampled did not vote in 2016. Remain in a 10 point lead was the mantra they have been repeating. Now look at the same poll after analysis by Breitbart:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/12/18/fake-news-shock-poll-alleges-brexit-remainers-now-11-point-lead-leave-dont/
What I suspect is happening is they are testing the waters for referendum 2.0, by 2021 their will be more brainwashed youngsters voters by then and they will push for a second referendum. Adding to more EU citizens gaining UK citizenship between now and 2021 and potentially that’s an extra 4-6 million voters for remain.
Contradictory Communications:
Here May’s bad deal is crowed by the MSM as an achievement. All seems well (of course this is the worst possible deal as we all know).
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-latest-live-updates-as-theresa-may-lands-in-brussels-to-secure-eu-deal-after-night-of-talks-a3713736.html
Then Barnier says this no more than a week later:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-michel-barnier-trade-deal-theresa-may-norway-canada-a8115831.html
This is all to demoralize the leave voting populace, and its will eventually work.
We have to get a positive message out there and explain what these people are actually doing. Most of the public will not know what a PSYOP is, we have to inform them. Most of the UKIP ex-military members will be fully aware of PSYOPS. If people can see it for what it is ‘fake news’ essentially, you can counter it.
Fake Brexit was on the horizon before the election. That means there has been no accident of any politician out of their depth. There has been no accident whereby a committed remainer happens to be ideally placed to take advantage of a freak set of circumstances caused by an election miscalculation. Westminster is in cahoots with the EU to fix membership in all but name. The bitter reality that so many are just too damn clever to own is that this outcome was entirely predictable given Tory literature published ahead of 8th June 2017. Analysis from any other starting point is just wasting space on the internet.
We as a country have the worst of all possible worlds
Sedition High Treason Malfeasance in public office
Not everything is gloomy
Visegrad5 + Denmark, Finland,poss Netherlands and Flanders in a few years
together with AfD in Germany are capable of starting the collapse internally of the EU
It would help this if Sweden goes bankrupt and suffers pillage and rape (what a sad world order)
Italy teetering on brink of bankruptcy
May will be REVILED by history
She will have an ignominious end to her turgid political career
She will deserve all she gets

The worry for me is the growing strength of the moaning Remainer Brigade, and the lack of a concerted and co-ordinated counter attack from the BREXIT camp.
My paranoid imagination visualises the following scenario: Brexit is a shambles, a constitutional crisis arises, and creates civil unrest! Order is eventually restored – by whom? EU Gendarmerie! Such a force exists. But divisions within the UK are eventually resolved only by the break up of the UK, and the EU’s goals are achieved. i.e. A separate unified Ireland, and Scotland and Wales as separate countries, all within the EU, and England, because of the City of London’s economic influence, broken into nine separate regions linked to ‘sister’ regions within mainland Europe. England, no longer a country, as we know it!
MAD! Or what? MP Ken Clark is on record as saying ‘I look forward to the time when Westminster is to Brussels as County Hall is to Westminster.’
MPs, are in many cases, sponsored by vested interests, and do not represent the views of their constituents, but those of their sponsors, such as Corporations, Financiers, and large Bloc Unions. Parliament has been hijacked by clever long term strategists, and we, the UK has an elected dictatorship for government.
We have 309 MPs ‘sticking two fingers up to the electorate, i.e. 17.4 million people, and pretending to be safeguarding Parliamentary principles. WOT Tosh!
The UK has been neutered! An Army so small, if every soldier was mustered inside Wembley Stadium, not every seat would be filled. We do not have enough surface ships to defend our shores, let alone our trade routes. Neither do we have enough aircraft to defend our air space. The Civil Service and Police force has been politicised. Private legal ownership of firearms is very, very difficult, but the MET has 100,000 stored in an Army Garrison, for use against whom?
The ‘picture I have painted’ reflects, in my opinion, and something I could see as a planner, the long term strategic plans drawn up by the EU for the destruction of the UK. The UK being envisaged as the biggest threat to a European Super-State.
The only light in the sky is the EU itself, and like Momentum, has possibly over – played it’s hand. I do detect cracks in it’s façade! I remain cheerful!
I do not see your imagination as being ‘paranoid’. It is becoming increasingly clear that Brexit is being sabotaged and the remain brigade given every opportunity by the government to thwart a clean exit, or any exit at all for that matter.
Leavers really do need to rise up and start making a LOT of noise.
Kind regards.
CORRECTED VERSION
You are absolutely right Robert with your analysis and prognosis. However, things are even worse for the UK than you say.
The EU are now insisting that everything agreed during Phase 1 of the negotiations must be now confirmed in law within the next few months. This shows that the mantra “Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed” is a lie to the British people and I don’t understand why UKIP is not pointing this out to the public and creating mayhem over it.
May has also stated that if “no deal” is achieved the UK will nevertheless maintain “alignment” with all EU rules afterwards in perpetuity!! She says this is necessary in order to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland. Another massive betrayal for an artificially constructed reason. This means that if no deal is “officially agreed” then we are already committed to remain tied to the EU, but without any representation! In earlier letters I said this will make the UK a “Dominion” of the EU while Rees Mogg and Johnson are saying a “vassal state”.
So we cannot “walk away” and the deadline of March 2019 has also been effectively removed so in conclusion we can see that these “negotiations” have already failed the British people.
We should walk away now before it is too late.
The establishment has clearly been betrayed by the people. How dare they! Dissolve the people and elect a new one!
That’s no joke; that’s exactly what they are doing. Brainwashing the young, incessant blanket propaganda through the media, suppressing dissent through ‘hate speech,’ importing plenty of new people, and postponing Brexit until the balance has shifted.
Every EU ‘No’ vote has been re-run and overturned, by bribery or political chicanery (Constitution? No, it’s just a Treaty.) The British are tougher than that, so they are playing a much longer game with us.
It should be no surprise that supporters of the anti-democratic EU are prepared to be undemocratic. What is most nauseating is their pretence to high principle.
