Conniving, duplicitous, venal knaves and liars: the Government ministers, the MPs on both sides of the HoC – with a tiny handful of honourable exceptions – and of course the ‘supporting cast’, the Whitehall Mandarins, who turned out to be the Remain handlers of Ms May and her government rather than just advisers.
On this day, the first day of the month when we hoped to be able, finally, to Leave after nearly three years of waiting, we can say with confidence that we’re being betrayed and no, that’s no longer a conspiracy theory.
In yesterday’s article I described how the ‘Brexit Dahling’ Jacob Rees-Mogg was sliding behind Ms May’s abomination, her WA – the WA he himself had condemned in his HoC speeches. I also linked to the announcement of a “Star Chamber”, established by JRM’s ERG: lawyers who will examine the Backstop codicil or ‘ Cox Codpiece’ about which the Attorney General is negotiating with Barnier et al. Here’s the link again to yesterday’s article in Brexit Central. I repeat my warning that, since seven of those eight lawyers are MPs (Tory and DUP), they are best placed to make the Backstop palatable so that Ms May and her WA can be dragged and carried over the Brexit finishing line – that vote on March 12th.
Why those who were so adamant that ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’ now believe being a vassal state of the EU for another few years is good – that they have failed to explain! That this “Star Chamber” is now bigged up in the (paywalled) DT is neither here nor there – but it’s an indicator of the conniving that is going on “en coulisse”.
In an astonishing piece of stonewalling the oh-so-busy ‘Brussels Correspondents” across the MSM haven’t come up this morning with one single piece of breathless tittle-tattle from Brussels. In a reversal of no news being good news, rest assured that no news in regard to Brexit are bad news. We are right to be suspicious because our ‘betters’ in Westminster, Brussels and the MSM can’t even be bothered to offer us some squirrels to gape at!
So let’s play their game and take a closer look at the latest instalment of ‘Another one bites the dust’ – the resignation of George Eustice MP, a so-called Brexit Minister. This is a pseudo- squirrel. He ain’t no Brexiteer, he’s a BINO (Brexiteer In Name Only):
“In his resignation letter, Mr Eustice stated that he’s always been in favour of a compromise, he backed Chequers and he would vote through Mrs May’s Withdrawal Agreement. But he is concerned that Brexit might be delayed or that a no-deal outcome will be taken off the table, which are things Mrs May has criticised but, of course, has promised MPs a vote on. The situation is surreal. There’s a lot in Mr Eustice’s letter that Mrs May has said herself at one time or another. So why would two people who want the same thing have to part company?” (paywalled link, my bold)
Good question! Have a look at Mr Eustice’s letter here – read it carefully, I’ll come back to it below. Sir John Redwood in his diary yesterday interprets the resignation quite charitably:
“another good Minister from the Leave side understandably felt he had to resign given the continued drift of policy away from our Manifesto.”
Sorry, I have to contradict: it’s nothing but a jockeying for position in a post-May cabinet. The DT Opinion piece (paywalled) hints at this as well:
“Perhaps Mr Eustice has the gift of prophecy. He might foresee the Government failing to get any significant changes to the Withdrawal Agreement; the Brexiteers refuse to back it; it is defeated; via delay and ruling out no-deal, the Commons then puts Britain on course for Brexit-in-name-only, or a second referendum or cancellation. In which case, dropping out of government now seems like a wise idea, not only on grounds of principle but to avoid the blame. If the Tories fail to deliver Brexit (either on schedule or within a reasonable timetable) the party will tear itself apart.”
Just so. The finger-pointing of some Tories at the Brexit shambles inside Labour (here) is the usual attempt to divert our attention from their own mess. All right, if you want to call that a squirrel, be my guest …
But there’s another little bit of info that supports my interpretation, namely that the BINO Tories are suddenly keen on heaving Ms May over the Brexit finishing line for their own party political reasons:
“Dozens of Brexiteer Tory MPs will back Theresa May’s Brexit deal if she sets a timetable for when she will quit as Prime Minister. A number of Brexiteer MPs are now prepared to vote for the deal, even if Mrs May isn’t able to secure any significant changes. Mrs May faces a new Commons vote to approve her revised Brexit deal on March 12. One senior MP told ‘The Sun’: ‘We need her to lay out a timetable for her departure this year. A decent amount of us have now told the whips we would change our vote and back the deal if she did – enough of us to get it through.’ A second rebel MP confirmed they would also back the deal if she quits. A decent amount of us have now told the whips we would change our vote and back the deal if she did – enough of us to get it through.’” (link, my bold)
See – I toldya: it’s about jockeying for positions post-May, it’s not about Brexit or principles!
Why we suddenly cannot leave with No Deal will be the secret of these knaves, especially when you look at this little slip-of-the-pen in Mr Eustice’s letter:
“We already know that in the event of “no deal” the EU will seek an informal transition period for nine months in many areas and settlement talks could continue within this window.” (my bold, link)
So why have the Tory Brexiteer MPs suddenly become BINOs? Why are they so afraid of leaving with No Deal?
Because they are conniving, venal, duplicitous bastards, the lot of them! That’s why!
KBO!
“Because they are conniving, venal, duplicitous bastards, the lot of them! That’s why!”
Engaging Counsellor Deanna Troi mode: Captain, I sense suppressed hostility.
“See – I toldya: it’s about jockeying for positions post-May, it’s not about Brexit or principles!”
We will know we have won when Matthew “Call me Matt” Hancock admits the least doubt about May’s policies. The wind always sets due Hancock, and when it veers away from May she is lost.

we cant force a gen Election. should we petition for a recall of MPs who quit the party they were elected for ? Force all the defectors to face their electorate ? That would leave the defectives in the HoC
Unfortunately, MPs can only be recalled if they have been jailed, barred from the Commons or found guilty of false allowance claims.
Well Vivian, without lowering the tone by my own choice of language, I must Thank you for your piece which is totally correct ! So many MPs are now speaking from mouth and anus at the same time, and it isn’t stereophonic, its just unworthy noise !
Turn-coating has never been worse, nor as surprising as it was to Julius Caesar, when Brutus plunged his knife in. Politics from Westminster has sunk to the level of being a Piffle Factory, and this Nation, with all its mistakes, deserves better than this !
Democracy and Straight dealing ! – Don’t make me laugh.- Parish Councils have more honour and better outcomes than this heap of excrement ! Clearance is now overdue, and UKIP and friends of Brexit must disinfect the Commons !
The MPs who hold to the majority will of the people, should not even be challenged, no matter what Party leaning they have, but the others must be thoroughly cleaned out with bleach and scrubbing brush, never to hold any office again, for the memory of Cromwell and Churchill, as well as for those who gave their lives through our history, for National Benefit, Truth, Democracy and Honour !
I would like to state a simple observation. The EU is often called a type of socialist entity the title EUSSR comes to mind. This may well be the case, but we know the EU was planned by the Nazis. Fascism is to my mind a behavioural characteristic.
Last night I was shocked by a program about ‘Hitler’s Holocaust Trains’, with Chris Tarrant as the journalist, you may have seen it.
Now consider the HS train scheme of the EU. For our part we are having an HS line hoisted on us that we do not need. It is not for this country it is for the EU. Will the EU police/troops be transported on this? The Romans French and Germans all had grand schemes that were about connecting their Empires.
Reference documents nearly always cite fascism as being a nationalistic ideology, this is clearly not the case in a strict interpretation. It is an imperialistic characteristic which is very, suited to the behaviour of the EU.
There is no doubt in my mind that this experiment is going to end in suffering, they will not go voluntarily. The horrendous events of the Second World War were carried out with the knowledge of many civilians. Fascism has a terrible control over people and can account for very deep seated irrational behaviour.
We cannot forget what happened but neither must we forget to understand how it happened. Just a reminder of what we are against.
Will the EU police/troops be transported on this?
Of course, but there is one vulnerable asset on the route and they can’t guard every yard of the rest of the track.
Several months ago Gerard Batten and UKIP correctly recognised three realities:
1. That Leave means Leave was a reincarnation of the Tory ‘Vote Leave’ organisation.
2. That, LML would underachieve in the same way that Vote Leave did.
3. That the council elections on the 2nd May were a certainty (60 days hence); that a snap general election was a distinct possibility; and that a further European Election was also a further possibilty.
That’s why UKIP have been working constantly to follow Gerard’s plan to prepare for these elections.
It didn’t stop UKIP working hard on all other fronts. In particular it didn’t stop them organising, with Tommy Robinson, the only Pro-Brexit march that has happened, It was large, very successful, and addressed by UKIP spokesmen.
LML are rather ‘johnny come latelys’ don’t you think?
I have been trying to warn you people for months and months. You really are your own worst enemies.
The Party System is “collective responsibility” both at Cabinet level and at Commons level. This means that no-one is personally responsible for anything (i.e Grayling) . They are all jockeying for position to keep their party afloat. Unless we all ditch the party system and support Independents who understand the true separation of powers and the government returns to the Crown where it can be held to account and punished (impeached) by a FREE House of Commons then this will go on for ever.
Those who play the party game, like Batten and Co merely aid, abet and condone the SYSTEM which has enslaved us.

Regarding the language used to describe our elites, if you are holding back to avoid offending our sensibilities please don’t – tell us what you really think.
We need a General Election before any vote is allowed, as we will be tied till 2100 at least with no say and giving money to send our industries to the eu. They have 161 Billion of our assets and and cash in the eu bank they have already said we are not getting a penny of that back and must give them 39 billion for nothing along with another 17 billion a year which will rocket up while we still have anything of worth, just like they have done to Greece. If need be we must have a General Strike ntill we get a GE. When we can get rid of the dross in Westminster
It astonishes me that UKIP has no voice in these procedings at all. None !
Two years ago I explained that ukip had no adequate leader whereas ERG or Leave means Leave was stuffed with them; and a marriage of convenience with a load of MPs of both parties plus a Grass roots organisation behind hem could be unstoppable. No Response. Never has been to any suggestions..Even so .
Leavers represent a large and lucrative section of their MSM readership. As shown by Daily Mail ( now under new ownership ) and its now declining readership.UKIP Had willing MSM accomplices. [ I wonder why the owners sold out. ? ]. But no mention of ukip or anyone. It would be of value to them ( an inside line ). What ? Why ? How not ? How about the Telegraph ? The only proper newspaper left.
Two years ago we could have organised, and been a player … Nothing Zilch. I’m sure that I amongst many others with advice varying from insane to godlike in perception were ignored in favour of local idiots. Witth no doubt many hours at keyboards experience in the loft.
, and schoolboy experience in debate.
Our few safe steps of Mike Hookem and TR werethe only ones taken and one of those was bungled.
Thing is, for 3 years our leaders have had nothing to say. GB has been better than the rest. But not much as far as I can tell …
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. A country lost.
Mrs May leaves tracks all over the world Does the silly cow realise that her game has also destroyed the Commonwealth. The EU will want it to be the EU Commonwealth. ( By virtue of chucking in a couple of French German and Italian unstable colonies ).
UKIP has ‘no voice’ because the Establishment Mainstream Media won’t give them a voice.
Gerard Batten is not playing the Establishment’s “game”, unlike Nigel Farage. Therefore the Establishment don’t find them ‘useful’ any more.
It is perhaps no coincidence that since Nigel Farage stepped down as UKIP leader, that no MP – not even the most supposed ‘die-hard’ Brexiter – has ‘crossed the floor’ to UKIP. You’ll also notice that no-one in the Commons has yet dared to stray across to The Brexit Party, why is that?
The Establishment MSM thinks it has neutralised UKIP as a ‘threat’ now its poster-boy Nigel Farage has gone, but they underestimate UKIP at their peril. People are wising up slowly but surely, and realising that the Establishment coalition of LibDem/Labour/Conservatives is a sham.
The problem is that UKIP has no MPs in the House of Commons. While Leave Means Leave and the ERG both do. All we in UKIP can do is shout from the sidelines, Based on what has happened over the last couple of years, i do not believe there are ANY genuine ‘Leavers’ amongst our MPs.
There is no such thing as the ART of compromise. Pure cowardice.
Here’s another aspect of this:
“Delingpole: Brexit Is an Historic Opportunity for the Tories. Watch Them Blow It…”
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/02/28/the-tories-could-win-big-from-brexit-watch-them-blow-it/
As Delingpole says, the Liberal, Lefty, Socialist world that has been creeping up on us since the second world war has had its day: Brexit is ultimately inevitable.
Our best bet now is to join forces with Hungary, Poland, Italy etc and just totally destroy the EU, in the long run this will be better and it’s important to beleive that in the end we’re going to win because we are.
During the last two world wars we had some very dark moments such as now but in the end we won.
Brexit didn’t have to be so messy but when we do win, of course we’ll remember who was responsible for the mess, attempted destruction of our country and way of life and we’ll treat them like the criminals they are.
Funny thing Flyer , I could probably go with the EU if it were actually democratic and Fully constitutionally, and workably formed in some way and not so obviously corrupt and organised as a prospective empire and emperor.. This is why I keep talking about some sort of Commonwealth of europe Which could be good for all but never an Empire. .Unfortunately Germany as it stands is too powerful as a single entity. Something split, each with its own pride and history set around some of the many historical germanic figures and legends. I don’t Know. But my family come from Kalbe and Magdeburg. It would appeal.
Brexit to us is nothing. despite the nonsense of project fear , compared to its affects on europe, which could be catastrophic. and will be if May can not stop her madness.The whole of europe has ourQueens family in it who could be constitional heads of states. Use em don’t abuse em. ( As in Spain , who are a model of sorts. Puts them on side )
The EU could do this being a Monarchy in all but name.
Anyway ….enough of airy flights of fancy. We are dealing here with the corrupt and avaricious. !
The thing is flyer. IF Gerard Batten were to come out with something like this it could serve many purposes.
Especially if Wales, Scotland, Gib , the Windward isles, Falklands ther, and NI were given their hearts desires . Wow. Our rulers have no imagination. Hearts stomachs and balls focussed on something else.
Australia would love to join.in.
T G – In my travels around the Antipodes, I’ve often stopped to look at war monuments, not just those of white men but some of the more indigenous people, for instance, the NZ Maoris.
The Maoris had a treaty with the British and they were dragged away from their Pacific paradise (as it still was then) to be slaughtered in a European war that they knew nothing about. In return we dumped them when it suited us.
I can understand people wanting their independence but when we joined a supposed Common Market our ex colonies went through some hard times. Even so, I know the commonwealth countries would love to have us back and that is why the EU is determined not to let this happen, we would leave the EU standing.
This would be a union where the members wanted to work together and very successful it would be too.
Treason May has a lot to answer for, despicable piece of filth that she is.
‘Our best bet now is to join forces with Hungary, Poland, Italy etc and just totally destroy the EU, in the long run this will be better ‘
Excellent idea and we could give our £39 million direct to them; (Poland at the moment get about 11 million Euro)and cut out the expensive ‘middlemen’ in Brussels.
I have long argued that the EU needs to be destroyed. Initially my thoughts were to avoid some traitor(s) taking us back in post Brexit. Now my view has shifted; the destruction of the EU, in cooperation with the allies you suggest, is now the more certain way to gain our freedom.
It start with the coming European Parliament (or whatever they call it) elections in May.I do hope UKIP and some of the other independence parties are getting ready to contest this.
” Our best bet now is to join forces with Hungary, Poland, Italy etc and just totally destroy the EU…..”
Flyer, you have just articulated the policy of AMW and For Britain. I agree.
