There are a number of MP’s of all three main parties and members of the House of Lords who are actively doing their utmost to overturn the referendum result to LEAVE the EU. The largest democratic vote in UK political history. It is difficult to understand why they are doing this as the UK’s membership of the EEC/EU since 1973 has been a total financial and democratic disaster.
For example, since 1973 to the 2017:
1 The UK’s balance of trade with the EU on EU terms has resulted in a deficit (loss) currently costing us £1.639 trillion.
2 The UK’s balance of trade with the rest of the world on WTO terms has resulted in a surplus (profit) currently worth £477 billion.
3 Only 6% of UK businesses trade with the EU
4 The EU’s share of UK exports on EU terms has fallen to about 44% compared to the rest of the world 56% on WTO terms.
Hence, there is absolutely no reason to fear leaving the EU on WTO terms with no deal. In fact, if this had happened soon after the referendum result the UK would have saved £billions in further payments to the EU and avoided having to pay the EU the £39 billion bribe for nothing!
Furthermore:
5 The annual cost to the British economy through being in the EU in 2014 was calculated by Tim Congdon as being in the order of £190 billion. As this figure goes up every year the annual cost after another 4 years must currently be at least £200 billion.
6 Using Congdon’s figure of £190 billion it can be shown that the TOTAL cost to our economy from 1973 to 2017 of EU membership could have currently cost our economy nearly £11 trillion.
7 Since 1973 the UK has been contributing nett funds annually to the EU budget. This has currently cost the UK taxpayer £275 billion. Funds given to our competitors on the continent and never seen again by the UK taxpayer.
8 Apart from the budgetary contributions and the cost to the economy which the UK taxpayer bears through being in the EU’s customs union, it costs the UK taxpayer up to £1,000/annum extra on their grocery bills. This has to be compared to the £80/taxpayer/annum saved by EU exporters on the EU import duties on their exports to the EU.
Not a good return for our money for UK taxpayers! In addition, a percentage of all our VAT payments goes straight to Brussels!
9 In addition, there is the very real prospect of the next generation of UK taxpayers spending all their working lives having to help finance the £30+ trillion liability in EU “pay as you go” pensions if we stay in the EU.
Therefore, the costs to our economy and our exports with no tangible benefits to the country as a whole due to EU membership are horrendous. The loss of UK’s sovereignty through having to comply with EU laws, taxes and diktats are obvious. So why are all these MP’s and others so keen to overturn the popular vote to LEAVE and stay in the EU with all its glaringly obvious disadvantages?
Clearly a number of MEP’s and Lords are totally committed to the UK staying in the EU as their pensions and pay depends upon it and they allegedly could not care less about the costs to the UK public as long as they get their money.
However, the only logical and practical reason for MP’s remain attitude is that they are all completely committed to complying with the EU’s reason for being in existence in the first place. That is to abolish all the nation states and to form a supra-national entity formed of all the nation states. This suggests that all these pro-remain MP’s and others must, despite the horrendous financial and political costs of being in the EU, be entirely committed to:
Abolishing the UK as an independent, sovereign and democratic nation and to making the UK a vassal state of the EU!
This means abolishing the Queen as Head of State and disenfranchising all UK citizens. I believe this is totally against the law of the land and our constitution and I suggest they are therefore allegedly committing
Treason!
I therefore suggest that all these MP’s are de-selected or voted out of office at the earliest opportunity. In fact, Ian Duncan Smith in his article in the Sunday Telegraph of 3rd March 2019 confirmed that the abolition of the United Kingdom as an independent state in order to make the UK a vassal state of the EU was Conservative, Labour and Liberal/Lib Dem policy for the last 70 years!

” The People of England ,wearied and stunned by parties and alternatively deceived by each , had almost resigned the prerogative of thinking …..Even curiosity had expired and a universal languor spread itself over the land……..The opposition was visible no more than as a contest for power , whilst the mass of the nation stood torpidly by as a prize.” > Tom Paine 1792 <….. And we very nearly fell for it again.
Is it possible to sue the PM or MPs or parliament ( as an entity ) for treason in the same way as that female lawyer forced the gov’t to follow legality one or two years ago.
Do you mean the gobby girl from gabon?
UKIP must destroy the fake Conservatives utterly and completely. Those that desire to remove the bad eggs and reform it are delusional. They will simply reform and come at us again.
They are dangerous because their supporters believe that they are voting ‘conservative’ when control of the party is firmly in the hands of those that live in one world government kumbaya la la land and on top of them hard line Marxists. (Ask yourself how it is that we see ‘cultural’ Marxism pervading academia right down to questionable gender, i.e. sex education, in primary schools without parents having the right to exclude their children from it.)
Whatever emerges in the coming days from among the viperous denizens of Westminster, even, dare I say it,
Great Britain LEAVING the EU with no deal and no strings of any kind attached,
we will still not be free and safe until those that got us into this mess are no longer a political danger to Britain.
Agree. Let’s not make the huge mistake that Nigel Farage made in claiming UKIPs job was done in June. The Remainers must have been chuckling at that one.
The Augean stables of Westminster and Whitehall need clearing out until we reach the point that the perception and reality is that no political career can be advanced by seeking to dismantle the nation state.
JB,
On reflection the nigel in my book has been playing a very funny game, to me looking back he has been acting coxswain over UKIP under instructions from the ersatz tory party, and his future movements need a serious coating of watching.
Was it a mistake ? ……..
Indeed; trust them by their actions, not their words.
Correct. Brexit is only a starting point in that it may limit to some extent direct outside influence on our country but there is a huge amount of work to be done after that.
It will not just be the HoC and HoL that will need to be drained, but we will need our own ‘long march through the institutions’ in the reverse direction and repair the damage done by the followers of Gramsci and the other Marxists.
In the process many of these institutions will be totally transformed and some will simply disappear, but it will be a continuous battle from now on.
JR,
Agreed it will be hard work but a battle that will give great satisfaction to those righting the many wrongs.
Good article Jeremy; if only the populace at large would take the trouble to inform themselves as a minority(?) of us have. As for “de-selected or voted out of office” I’d much prefer to see them hanged. Their execution is the only sure way of preventing their ongoing acts of treason which is why it was the traditional penalty for that offence.
In 1707 the Scottish Parliament passed the Act of Union. Scottish MPs had lost huge amounts of money in the Darien scheme and they also received many English bribes.
“The Treaty was hated in Scotland at the time. Riots occurred in Edinburgh, as well as substantial riots in Glasgow. The people of Edinburgh demonstrated against the treaty, and their apparent leader in opposition to the Unionists was James Hamilton, 4th Duke of Hamilton. However, Hamilton was actually on the side of the English Government… Not one petition in favour of an incorporating union was received by Parliament… Threats of widespread civil unrest resulted in Parliament imposing martial law.”
Sound familiar? Our country is being sold from under us by traitors.
Agree with Jeremy’s summation. The ideological European project was a great attraction to those MPs bereft of any particular talents and thus leant towards the growth of the state and futhering the brotherhood of mankind.
Britains committment to the European project was a Conservative obsession not Labour. Gaitskill pointed this out in the 1950s. It was the slow trickle of academics and intellectuals who took over the Labour Party in the 1980s that gradually swung Labour in the 1990s under Blair to fully support membership. By this time the blue collar Labour influence of Labour was taken over by the left-liberal professionals.
Jeremy – absolutely agree. This was never about money no matter what they say, it is about power at any cost, we the people are expendable.
I’ve always thought that many of the benefits that we’ve enjoyed in our country, social services, national health etc were born on the back of the industrial revolution, it was in the governments interest to look after the workforce. Since the de industrialisation of our country and the arrival of endless third world cheap labour for what remains, our government has no further interest in us and we’re being disenfranchised in our own country and thrown to the wolves or Allah, take your pick.
Now our politicians have decided that their interests and future prosperity will be much better served my jumping on the globalist band wagon and leaving the people that they’re supposed to serve to face perdition; they are not going to let a little thing like the truth stand in their way.
Criminals one and all!
