European Union Exit: Who Else Wants Britain To Leave? (Other Than Nigel Farage)

 

Lord Lawson 

 














The question headline to this article is: "European Union Exit: Who Else Wants Britain To Leave? (Other Than Nigel Farage)"  Simple response.....me.

I am no supporter of UKIP or any of the other "celebs" in the photo montage (in the main article) and as for Murdoch, the wheels of justice seem to have missed him. The EU, the Eurozone and all the paraphernalia associated with Brussels, is and always has been a disaster for this country both economically and socially. Too many people it seems (as shown in many of the posts in the comments section of the article), have accepted the propaganda and distortions of the pro European Union lobby and the scare mongering perversions of the, "leaving the EU will cost millions of jobs" faction. There has always been a hidden agenda shared by certain business interests, a number of politicians from each of the parties, some media outlets and above all, most of the murky figures in the banking and finance sectors. It was only ever about money. Trade and industry came somewhere down the field. The people of Europe have paid a considerable price for the experiment of  EU membership and membership of the Eurozone. Ask the ordinary people of Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Italy and a few other countries. They may be persuaded by their own duplicitous politicians to continue their membership for a time yet, but I would prefer to leave.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
