11. Amber Rudd is a traitor


We will never know what deal the EU might have been prepared to offer, had the UK made clear that its ultimate default position was ‘no deal’. By their insistence that Parliament should categorically reject a ‘no deal’ outcome, Amber Rudd, Heidi Allen and the other ‘remainer’ MPs have effectively killed off the likelihood of the EU ever offering us an acceptable, compromise deal.

It is absolutely clear that the EU has no incentive whatsoever to ‘meet us halfway’. Unless the EU believes that the UK can and will walk away from a ‘bad deal’. it will never agree to anything which might be considered acceptable (and workable) to both sides. The EU has one aim in mind - and that is to force a second referendum.

Amber Rudd is a member of the cabinet and yet she is collaborating with a foreign power to undermine the interests of the UK, in attempting to force a second referendum . The UK is still (for the time being) a sovereign nation. Amber Rudd is a traitor.

5. Forty years later - and it's still not clear why we should be part of the EU

Voters knew what they were doing in June 2016.  The vast majority of voters (both 'leave' and 'remain') were very well  aware that leaving the EU would have consequences. The great preponderance of 'experts', who opined on the issue, were clearly of the view that Brexit - were it to happen - would at best lead to a period of uncertainty and at worst could cause a serious and sustained economic downturn. But, despite all the warnings, 17.4mn people voted to leave. They didn’t simply wake up on the morning of 23 June 2016 and suddenly decide that they no longer wanted to be part of the EU. By that point, dissatisfaction with the EU had been simmering for more than 40 years. Generally speaking the people of the United Kingdom are a fairly tolerant bunch. As a country we tend not to rush into things and, by and large, we are prepared to give people a chance.    By any measure, the EU has had its chance. The EU has had four decades to convince the British p...

4. People voted 'leave' knowing that there would probably be negative economic consequences.

In June 2016 voters were presented   with a simple in/out choice: either to remain in the EU or leave. When faced with that straightforward, binary proposition, 17.4 million people voted to leave the EU. Not only is it undemocratic, it is also patronizing in the extreme to suggest that voters who opted for ‘leave’ made a mistake because they did not understand what they were voting for. Voters did not make a mistake. They voted to leave the EU – that was the question that was asked. Voters had multiple reasons for wanting to leave the EU. Not all voters wanted to leave for the same reasons. Clearly, some of the major issues can be categorised as: ‘sovereignty’ ‘immigration’ ‘the cost of EU membership’ and ‘increasing interference from Brussels across a range of issues’. Nor were voters misled or duped. Voters opted to leave the EU in the knowledge that there might very well be, in fact probably would be negative economic consequences for the country as a whole. They were ...
