Dear All
Back in 2016, the EU referendum was the political hot potato
in the UK ,
prior to the vote, the political elite thought like the Scottish independence
result that they ‘had it in the bag’. 23rd June saw the result which
crushed the Remain campaign; it was a loss, a rejection of 40 plus years of EU
membership.
People in the UK had enough of the undemocratic
EU which has shown itself to be anti worker and anti country. As campaigns go,
this campaign was unique in that the few had overcome the many, much in the
same way as Spitfire pilots had done in the Battle of Britain.
A key reason for many people to vote Leave was the issue of
immigration, others fought for other reasons in Leave such as regaining sovereignty.
Under freedom of movement, the UK
had lost control of its borders, everyone knew because the same problem existed
in then other 27 member states. The loss of control saw the rise of criminality
in its various guises, everything from human trafficking to prostitution to
housing benefit scams, industrial scale criminality.
Now that the UK is leaving, the Europeans are losing a major
‘cash cow’, they are angry, very angry, the anger could be crystallised in the
form of one man, Guy Verhofstadt, this arch-liberal and federalist is a poster
boy for the contempt he hold the UK in. As the European Parliament’s Brexit
coordinator has said he will “never” allow the UK to control its own borders. Guy
Verhofstadt is one of those people who will lead the people in the EU member
states to eventually rise up, and when the ‘civil war’ kicks off, his future is
assured, he has none.
What has happened in Europe
under people like Angela Merkel and Guy Verhofstadt under the guise of humanitarianism
is akin to ‘war crimes’. These people
have set migrants against EU citizens and the outcome is to destroy member
states in favour of the creation of a European Super state.
Guy Verhofstadt says that the UK proposed system on immigration allowing
in professionals and people with the skills the nation needs amounts to
“discrimination”. This is of course nonsense, there is no human right
infraction here, and the use of the word “discrimination” is a sham, and a
deflection. What the EU wants is for the UL to have a second vote in the hope
that people will change their minds, and if they don’t a third vote.
A huge part of EU funding comes from the UK .
As Verhofstadt ranted in front of MEP, we get to see the
madness that allows people like him gain power and public office, the man is a
fool! A dangerous fool who has power over others; and with history repeating
itself with the demise of Europe , his dreams
are destine for the scrapheap.
Yesterday, the home secretary Sajid Javid announced plans
to prioritise immigrants’ skills, rather than their country of origin, in a
post-Brexit shake-up of the visa system and immigration. This type of scheme
isn’t new, in Australia ;
the government have been keen to attract doctors, dentists, joiners and engineers
to grow their country and provide services.
The UK
government plan on immigration is to bring down numbers by capping unskilled
migration; however the government will listen to representation from various
sectors that employ unskilled migrants. What is also needed but not talked
about is the retraining of British workers who have been left behind; the EU
never protected their rights through-out the 40 plus years of membership. The
sudden concern of the pro EU people in the UK is risible to the plight of the
poor.
Theresa May, the UK
Prime Minister has a message for the political elite in Europe ,
‘we don’t need the EU’! May also insists Britain’s best days are still to come
as Brexit looms, there is even talk about the end of austerity which is sorely
needed and long over due in this country. Now is a time to rebuild, rebuild the
country and retrain our workforce, invest in the country and invest in the
people.
People like Guy Verhofstadt have their little followers in
this country:
Caroline Lucas, the Green Party said:
“By ending free movement, our own Government is making it
harder for all of us to live, love, study and work across 27 other countries”.
This statement is a joke, prior to being part of the
European community in 1973, people in the UK travelled to Europe to live, love,
study and work, presumably having to apply for a visa in her mind is the equivalent
of tunnelling under the Berlin Wall!
One thing worth mentioning is that the UK has visa free travel to 173 countries in the
World, so is it likely that the EU will stop people in the UK going to Europe
for holidays etc?
I hardly think so.
Finally, Guy Verhofstadt in his sad delusion said the Brexit
“chaos” will make people in Europe ‘like’ the EU again, clearly he isn’t aware
of what is going on around him, Europe is primed for violence, splits,
divisions and angry confrontation. Things might look okay in the ‘bubble’ of
the EU but on the streets, it is a different story.

Just read today an article about the 2008 recession, reminding us that the European Central Bank offered European states a generous bailout package, but only if they accepted austerity. Austerity is a part of the problem, and it beggars belief the idea that the EU protects jobs. There are still legit concerns about Brexit, but the blind spots such as this, it beggars belief, and that's coming from someone who didn't realise there was a blind spot in the first place!
