RECENTLY, to my delight, I
received my new British passport. Unlike its predecessor, it
requests that I should be allowed to trvel freely in my capacity as
a citizen of the
UNITED KINGDOM
OF
GREAT BRITAIN
AND NORTHERN IRELAND
All reference to
the European Union or European Community, first stamped on British
passports in 1988,has been removed.
This
adjustment, which the Home Office began rolling out a few month's
ago, may be Theresa May's only memorable achievement from her three
[wasted] years
in Downing Street, but I applaud it nonetheless.
Some people-especially those who oppose
Brexit-will accuse me of being a 'Little Englander' for celebrating
this change.
But I happen to believe it's important
that an identity document reflects the facts, in thyis case by
acknowledging in print that all British passport bearers are just
that:
The significance of what is written on the cover of our passports
feeds into the wider argument about Brexit itself.
oI have spent more than 25 years campaigning for the UK to leave the
EU. In doing so, I have been motivated by many things, the most
crucial of which is my desire for Britain to be
INDEPENDENT
AGAIN.
In other
words, as far as I am concerned, the EU question has always been
about something more meaningful about its impact on our economy.
We have
our own flag, anthem, currency, and political and legal systems.
MILLIONS
OF PATRIOTS MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN
TWO WORLD
WARS
defending
precious
FREEDOMS
championed by
BRITAIN
for centuries.
As I
write, it appears possible ( but only possible) that Britain may
finally
ESCAPE the EU clutches on
OCTOBER 31,2019.
lderIf
we do exit the bloc by the date, it is likely that we may do so
WITHOUT A DEAL.
Some
doom-mongers seem to believe that in this
NO DEAL SITUATION,
BRITAIN
WOULD BE FINISHED.
EARLIER this week, a leaked Whitehall dossier, called Operation
Yellowhammer, purported to highlight how Britain will be left
vulnerable
WITHOUT A DEAL.
sIt
pontificated about the return of a hard border in Ireland. It warned
of shortages of fuel, medicine and food, protests, road blockades
and 'direct action'-whatever that meant.
While I
have never disputed that such a major disruption will inevitably
lead to short-term difficulties, the contents of Operation
Yellowhammer are baffling.
[The
greater the cause the lighter the difficulties appear.' No pain-No
gain'. All sacrifice for a greater good is a human attribute. ]
It's suggestion that the flow of our goods
could be halved in the event of a
NO
DEAL
BREXIT
is frankly laughable.
Even the German U-boats were not as useful at lowering our levels of
TRADE!
Of course, I have always been clear that there will be bumps on
the road.
But, as I have also always argued leaving
the EU is about something far more important and profound than
money.
On the fundamental level, it is about the self-confidence as a
NATION
to improve our quality of life-and to live that life
ON OUR OWN TERMS
[By Britain being out of the EU it will soon become apparent to
those captive once FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATES that all they cast
away which many gained by SACRIFICE and help of the UK and others
will soon become apparent, as as we have often stated over the past
20 years the words of a great British Prime Minister William Pitt
(1759-1806)
'England has saved herself by her exertions; and will, I trust,
save Europe by her example.'
(9 Nov.1805-Year of Nelson's Victory at Trafalgar.)
FULL ARTICLE
...For too long, Brexit has been the thing which divides us as a
society. In many ways this is remarkable, not least because a
democratic vote was held and a clear result was achieved. (For the
record, the majority was in excess of 1.25 million.)
It is up to everybody to make the best of this opportunity.
Past generations would have done so without question. And future
generations will not thank you if we continue to
WASTE IT.
