The people who voted Brexit didn't know that meant leaving The Single Market

The remoaners including the BBC are pushing the lie that voters didn't know that a vote for Brexit meant leaving the Single Market. Apparently this was kept secret from the voters. 

Watch this from one interview with David Cameron before the referendum, he wasn't exactly hiding that a vote for Brexit meant leaving the Single Market. 


Somehow I doubt that the existence of evidence such as this will stop remoaners and the BBC from continuing to push their lies.

Deliberately misinforming humour

I came across a joke on Facebook the other day that went something like this:

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irish man went into a bar but the Engliahman wanted to leave so they all had to.

Some thoughts struck me re this Brexit related joke:

a) what about the Wesh man? Is he excluded because Wales voted for Brexit?
b) The Irish man was in fact Northern Irish, don't facts matter any more?
c) The UK is not made up of  four equally sized countries:
England comprises approximately 83.9% of the total UK population
Scotland comprises approximately 8.4% of the total UK population
Wales comprises approximately 4.8% of the total UK population
Nothern Ireland comprises approximately 2.9% of the total UK population
So one could argue that the population of 88.7% of the UK voted for Brexit and 11.3% voted to Remain. One could argue that but then one would be as wrong as the originator of the joke.

So let's look at the Popular Vote instead:



So we have:
Leave - 17,410,742
Remain - 16,141,241

Not very funny but at least accurate!

Leave Voter Died Hours After Brutal Attack by Neighbour Following Brexit Row

'A man died just hours after he was brutally beaten and threatened with being set alight by his neighbour, who was angry with him for having voted for Brexit, a court has heard.'

Nick Booth: Will the BBC automate its anti-Brexit propaganda machine? Per The Conservative Woman

'The focus of union anger is a new machine, dubbed the AbrexipanSta, which it's claimed can automatically carry out the work of up to 100 BBC journalists. The AbrexipanSta (automated brexit panic station) can sift through dozens of daily events and instantly create a worrisome narrative that will furrow brows at a 100 metres. In the wake of the referendum, when a majority of voters defied the wishes of the BBC, mandarins have demanded that the Ruling News Service steps up its production of 'black cloud' stories. However, the understaffed BBC is being forced to find new ways to ramp up production through automation.'
Satire? 


More anti Brexit propaganda on the BBC pretty much 24/7

What do Remainers Feel Now? The BBC ask.

The Briefing Room - What Do Remainers Feel Now? - @bbcradio4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07lhh7f
If Remain had won the EU Referendum, even by just 1%, would the BBC have run a similar piece about the feelings of the Brexit supporters?
I think we know the answer to that, Brexit supporters would have been expected to shut up, suck it up and accept the democratic verdict of the country.

The BBC are suggesting that the closure of Lloyds Bank branches is due to Brexit. Lloyds Bank say not true but why should the BBC let facts ruin their narrative

Lloyds Bank (@AskLloydsBank) tweeted at 7:43 AM on Thu, Jul 28, 2016:
@BulldogSteveUK Hi, I'm GR. The decision to close these branches was made before the Brexit vote and is not linked to the result.

The nasty vindictive left have a post Brexit plan - Project Pain

'A prospect far more threatening than Brexit is emerging: a reasonable deal for the UK. Reports from Brussels suggest a compromise is doing the rounds under which it would be given continued access to the single market plus concessions on freedom of movement. This would be a grave mistake. If Britain comes out of this looking anything less than severely diminished it will be devastating for the EU.

When the EU starts negotiating the terms of its divorce from the UK it must aim to inflict maximum political and economic damage. Financial powers should be repatriated from London and it must become nearly impossible for Asian, US or African multinationals to continue to have their EU headquarters in the UK. Universities, companies and cities must receive generous help to attract the best minds from their UK rivals, for instance by offering EU passports. There are many more blows the EU can deliver to make sure the UK faces a dark decade of economic stagnation and political isolation. Ideally, its economy should not get back to its pre-referendum size before, say, 2030.'
More here in The Guardian

The left: nasty, vindictive and without shame. So much for their purported fears for the British public over the effects of Brexit, they'd rather sacrifice people's wellbeing so the EU survives. I would draw parallels from history but I'll leave you to draw your own.

If the Government try to wriggle out of implementing Brexit, remind them of their own leaflet

There seem to be many people speculating as to how the government or the House of Commons or the House of Lords could overrule the Brexit vote.

To all the people speculating and especially those like David 'Mastermind' Lammy who are actually calling for such anti-democratic action I refer them to the government's own EU Referendum leaflet which has this on page 14:


'This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide.'

No ifs, no buts, no maybes...

Wise words from Chester


'Rob in Cheshire on July 1, 2016 at 7:32 pm

If, after Brexit, there is seasonal farm work here, Romanians and Bulgarians will be perfectly able to apply for work permits to do it, and get paid a decent wage. They will not, however, be able to bring their children over here to be educated, their elderly relatives over here to get treatment on the NHS, or expect to be housed at public expense.

They are not British, they don't want to be British, they have not been betrayed by the British. If there is work to be done, they can do it, get paid, and go home. That's all we owe them, and that's all they owe us.'

Hard to disagree unless you're a REMAINIAC

Boris Johnson's HQ as the EU referendum result comes in.


I know the Hitler/Downfall meme is somewhat overdone but this one is rather good.

The one hundred and sixteenth weekly No Shit, Sherlock award

'Cameron tells the EU it was YOUR immigration policy that led to Brexit: PM warns Brussels that freedom of movement was key reason for Leave victory and says no trade deal without border crackdown'
Immigration worries caused by The EU caused the Brexit vote - No Shit Sherlock

U.S. Speaker Paul Ryan Wants Trade Talks With Britain

'WASHINGTON (Reuters) –Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, called on Tuesday for Washington, in parallel with its negotiations with Europe, to pursue a separate free trade agreement with Britain, once it has formally separated from the European Union.

Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking elected Republican in the United States, echoed a call from many members of his party, who have dismissed President Barack Obama's contention that Britain will be at the "back of the queue" for trade talks.'

Surely that's the sort of important news that a British unbiased news reporting entity would want to report. So it's no surprise that the BBC haven't.

The EU superstate gets closer

This from The Express is interesting but it is from The Express...
'... others see the Brexit vote as an opportunity to push ahead with the European elite's long-cherished dream of creating a United States of Europe.

Spain's foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has called for "more Europe" whilst Italy's finance minister, Carlo Padoan, is advocating a common budget for the eurozone states.

And Emmanuel Macron, France's economy minister, wants to go even further and set up a common eurozone treasury which would oversee the permanent transfer of funds from wealthier northern Europe to shore up Mediterranean economies. '

Europe's largest stock markets

The BBC are headlining the falls in the UK FTSE but what strikes me from this recent snapshot is that:
1. the DAX is down more than the FTSE 100 and the All Share
2. the CAC 40 is down more than all the FTSE indexes/indices
3. The Bel 20 is down more than all bar the FTSE 250
4. the IBEX is down more than an of the FTSE indexes/indices

Maybe the EU stock markets are reflecting not only their inherent weakness but also that the remaining EU countries will have to pay more to make up for the loss of the UK's subscriptions.

Brexit - Why?

I went to sleep last night thinking that Project Fear had worked, hell earlier in the day even I had started to have doubts about which way to vote.

At 10pm last night I heard the poll forecasts of 52:48 for Remain and that the pound was hitting $1.50. This just seemed odd, the mood of the country didn't seem to be towards Remain, but maybe Project Fear had worked, after all even I had nearly cracked. However it felt wrong, so I tweeted...



I slept and awoke at 4ish thinking that being a gracious loser was important and that at least Sterling was up so holidays would be a little cheaper. Then I heard the news... Leave had won!

Of course the BBC are all doom and gloom and 'told you so' re the financial markets. Sterling down 9% they are saying, will yes against a figure that was illusory, a figure whose value was decided on wrong information. I was buying dollars not that long ago at just under 1.40, so the drop is about 5%, painful but not unprecedented.




But why did the Brexit campaign win? The blame can be laid in four main places:
1. The EU itself - By taking away democratic control from the people, the people felt powerless. This referendum gave the people some power and they exercised it. Also when David Cameron asked for a few scraps from the table to allow him to present his EU renegotiation as a success, they couldn't even allow that. So David Cameron had to pretend that he'd got a good deal but it was obvious that he hadn't.

2. Tony Blair and the Labour Party - Tony Blair was an EU supporter and an ally of the EU fanatic Peter Mandelson. But Tony Blair's culpability in this regard actually lies elsewhere. By opening the UK up to unprecedented immigration from both within and outside of the EU, Tony Blair and the Labour Party hoped to 'rub the right's noses in diversity'. Immigration into the UK increased to unprecedented levels and the people that were affected the most were those working class people, historically Labour voters, who saw their wages drop, their jobs disappear, their schools get more crowded, their roads fill up, their hospitals at breaking point and their ability to buy or rent a house recede as demand for housing and other public services outstripped supply.

3. The British media - The BBC dominate the British mediasphere and they have been very pro EU, pro unlimited immigration and frankly insulting of anyone who dared to hold a contrary view. A large proportion of the British people were tired of being called 'racist' when they pointed out that their hospitals, schools, roads etc were being adversely affected  by immigration. If the BBC had allowed their voices to be heard, if the government had listened to their legitimate concerns, then maybe the people wouldn't have become so angry. But the media and the establishment always know better, know what's good for the people and left the people voiceless, until...

4. David Cameron - I really believe that David Cameron didn't believe that he win the 2015 general election with a majority Conservative government. So a promise of an EU referendum was safe, he could say that the price of having another Conservative lead coalition with the Lib Dems was that there could be no EU referendum and he would probably have got away with that. Unfortunately for David Cameron the mood in the country was such that Labour voters fled the Labour Party for UKIP in sufficient numbers for the Conservatives to win a majority government. Now what was David Cameron to do? He went to the EU (actually see 1. for what happened)

5. Angela Merkel - Her decision to open the floodgates to Middle East and North African immigration and the resulting images of, mainly, young ,men walking into Europe helped to decide the views of many who don't benefit from cheap cleaners, gardeners and builders but who can no longer get work in thise jobs because they've been undercut by immigrants.


What do you think? Am I right? Have I missed something?

The EU says the Single Market adds 2% to GDP, so how could leaving it cost 6%?

'To summarise: the European Commission says being in the Single Market adds 2% to GDP. If we were outside, we could do additional trade deals with the rest of the world, beyond the three significant countries with which the EU currently has deals: Mexico, South Africa and Korea. 

The European Commission's own analysis suggests that just seven of those deals would be worth 2% of GDP, and the three the UK would be most likely to get that the EU would not would be worth 1% of GDP. And all of that is before one even touches upon other gains from being outside the EU, such as allowing the EU to work better and grow faster, improving UK regulation and repatriating the UK's net contribution.

Since the Single Market adds 2% to GDP and leaving it would allow us to pursue trade deals worth more than 1% of GDP and perhaps much more, how can the Treasury seriously expect anyone to believe leaving the Single Market will cost 6% of GDP?'

The future of the EU

'The Spanish newspaper El Pais (17th June) carried a front page article saying that the EU is deliberately holding back a raft of new legislation until after the Referendum on 23rd June because knowledge of it in Britain would boost the Brexit vote.

The article claims that David Cameron has asked the European Commission to postpone discussions on anything sensitive until after this Thursday.  The measures that El Pais says are being held back include:

A European Tax to co-ordinate an EU defense system
 
A plan to impose quotas for member states sharing refugees
 
Visa free access for Turkish citizens

Discussions are set to resume on 28th-29th June.

If the British vote to Remain in the EU then they must realise that they are not voting for the status quo.   They are voting for what the EU intends to do in the future and what it intends to become – a United States of Europe.'


But not on the institutionally pro EU BBC.

David Cameron fails three times to say he will veto country's entry to EU per Daily Mail Online

'David Cameron refused three times to say he would veto Turkey's entry into the European Union last night as he faced public anger over his failure to curb immigration.

Appearing on a special Question Time, the Prime Minister repeatedly ducked the question, claiming there was no prospect of the country becoming a member in the near future.

He claimed the issue was 'the biggest red herring in this referendum debate' and that voting to leave for fear of Turkish entry would be a 'crazy thing to do'. But given three clear opportunities to say he would use his veto to stop it, he declined to do so.'


Do you believe David Cameron's sugared words?

The future of EURABIA

This from Turkey, but coming to Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, Cologne, Leicester etc etc etc soon.
'A group of Radiohead fans holding a 'listening party' for the band's new album in Istanbul were viciously attacked by a gang of thugs, who were allegedly angered by them drinking beer during Ramadan.'
More here http://www.lbc.co.uk/radiohead-fans-attacked-by-radical-islamists-132431 but obviously not on the institutionally pro Islam BBC. 

Additionally this is happening in Turkey the country that the EU is getting very cosy with and that David Cameron wants to join the EU.

On Thursday we need to vote Brexit or else be subsumed into EURABIA.
