Here are some Brexit dividends, what they would have given to the UK. NONE of the following have been obtained, and so yes. Farage is correct.
The process of “Brexit” indeed HAS been a failure. Not implemented properly. Not followed properly. Not DONE properly.
Now we see the other edge of the two-edged sword that the referendum was going to be “compulsory and forever” if we voted Remain initially, but “only advisory” if we voted Leave, as it could always also be argued that "anything short of the reasonable doubt of a court (10 out of 12 jurors) - doesn’t constitute a big-enough majority to bring about such a major change in our own system in this country. Since achieving 87.5% support for something - even Putin’s Russia cannot give to Putin (78% approval, not good enuff!) - the entire process was deliberately sabotaged by ALL political powers around the world, thinking that we’d end up in WWIII if somehow the EU were weakened in any way, not just by the UK attempting to leave it.
The easiest way to achieve full Brexit - was the “cliff-edge” approach, converting everything to “Free Market” status with regards to our trading arrangements, and leaving the European Court of Justice, so we can hand-pick which laws we wished to keep, and which we could easily discard. An essential power IF we were to re-achieve former Sovereign State Status.
To leave the single market - we merely stopped paying into the EU for access to something that should be free at the point of sale:
You don’t pay an admission fee to shop at Tescos rather than Sainsburys - do you?
You’ll shop at the places that have the lowest prices for whatever make-up basket of regular groceries - happens to be your fingerprint purchases…
If you consume more fruit and Veg than Meat, then you may favour one supermarket over another for that reason.
Maybe, such is your basket of regular shopping - that it doesn’t make much difference WHERE you shop at all, because the savings to be had upon your particular basket of shopping - vary by only pennies in what is now a £100+ spend for most households per week.
It is hardly worth driving the extra 2 miles to shop at a different supermarket - merely to save 50p on that basket, spending maybe a fiver on getting further out… “Economics” - a very important subject these days, with ordinary households struggling to make ends meet.
So, by halting payments to the EU ENTIRELY - we would be slagged off for sure, told that “Our reputation is ruined, because we’ve defaulted” by some nations around the world, or even “Democracy is weaked blah blah blah”. Well, that didn’t stop the Deep State from subverting our entire Democratic system since - did it? Are there any free and fair elections to be had anywhere in the world, where an outsider candidate unexpectedly winning an election like Trump did in 2016 - has the entire machine of State get behind that fair-and-square winner, rather than conspire to rid the political biosphere of the upstart…
Once we halt those payments to the EU, the EU then has another problem on it’s hands - What to do with the huge suprplus of produce that will no longer be purchased by Britain, because we refuse to pay the admission fee of our contributions any longer?
Simple. Have a PROPER free market, and put the entire EU food mountain on an open market where anyone can bid anything they like for foodstuffs, not for “Futures Markets” purposes, but instead for cash-settlement (bank transfer) and immediate delivery by Truck, Ship, Rail - whatever.
The industry will solve the problems and bottlenecks caused by a huge expansion in food traffic that would result from entire NATIONS entering the OPEN MARKET for agricultural produce in particular. (compare perhaps to, 'Brudders clustering around the “Reduced Aisle” ')
This would come about every time there was a serious glut of any particular produce, and you have the international community bidding openly like the way Oil is traded on the Petroleum Exchange in London… "
There would still be Exchange fees to pay INSTEAD of “EU Membership Fees” - but if they make their financial exhanges for Agriucultural products comparable say, to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange - everything would work very well indeed, using the Chicago model as THE way to do all this.
An efficient exchange - brings in more transaction fees. Europe would gain from those fees, as well as the participants in the market, potentially every nation on Earth that can get some form of pick-up to actually go collect the produce they are mass-purchasing on the cheap…
Britain saves the Membership money STILL handed over to the EU, so Britain gains both a better market, a better market access, and other nations get to benefit from a more EFFICIENT market that doesn’t encourage producer farms to over-produce whatever, and then plough half of it back into the ground, because no one wants to pay through the nose for it, other world currencies weaker than the articifically propped-up Euro…
The Invasion of Ukraine - casts asunder the entire Euro project now anyways, as the only way Ukraine can win this - is if they get the EU and NATO powers to go to a hot war, which of course means nuclear catastrophe. EVERYONE loses, because Ukraine won’t give Loser’s Consent. Everyone loses because NATO won’t give Loser’s consent. Everyone loses because the EU that stole Ukraine away from Russia in the FIRST place 3 decades ago - won’t have things any way but it’s own. This is why I believe the EU is a beast to be destroyed, rather than a benefit long-term to the human race anywhere, and everywhere.
Britain Leaving - could and should have weakened the EU enough so it was either forced to reform, and become a proper free market like I described above OR should just disband, and revert back to the nation states prior to the launch of the single currency.
How much of Brexit has happened so far?
Our MEPs have all been disbanded, certainlly very much “Turkeys voting for Christmas” in that Farage’s party had a the largest block of seats there. ALL gone very quickly - were they not? Funny how the downsides get implemented straight away - isn’t it?
We still pay over as much “Contributions” as ever.
We also pay and lose out from membership of NATO as well, of course. The EU and NATO are joined at the hip, of course…
We never left the EU courts system entirely - ALL of them. We got knocked back and told, “You can’t do that - it’s illegal to leave the court you actually want to leave because we won’t let you leave it!”
People forget that the Holocaust was legal struck in to Law by the German State of the day…
Don’t assume something is the “Right thing to do” just because some establishment somewhere says it is, and their lawyers do what they are told - to enforce such travesties of law…
Look up and down the motorway corridors around this country - and you’ll see brand new Transport depots being built all over the place…
That to me, is the main aspect of Brexit that HAS been done, by Boris Johnson’s Tories with the new “light-touch” planning system and all.
Overall, I’d say Brexit is maybe 30% completed… A far cry from 52% of course, and closer to being reversed than to being completed in the future as well…
If Brexit DOES one day get completed (impossible imo, now that anything Farage has failed to get into Westminster at all, too many kitchen sinks thrown at UKIP, Brexit Party, etc.) - then it gets bump-started again by the UK leaving the EU courts once and for all, and we really need to get far more aggressive on this, instead of appeasing the Euro powers instead all the time. Leaving the EU - doesn’t mean we have to remain on good terms with contiental Europe either, of course. Only by being able to destroy something - does one fully have control over it’s future.
The Euro currency has been gently declining over the last year, whilst the Ruble bounced back, went higher at one point, and has now settled pretty much back where it started before the Invasion a year back.
The EU weakness “We don’t negotiate - ever” - hampered Brexit more than anything else, with our own politicians failing to realize we really needed to be rather more assertive on the international stage, rather than “come together over Ukraine” - just another barb stuck in us by Remainers imo…
Ukraine - isn’t a full member of the EU, isn’t our Ally, and isn’t in NATO. We owe Ukraine nothing at all, and if the entire Foreign Aid budget had been cut to ZERO a few years back - we could side-step having to cough up for their forelorn hope war, and probably brought about a swift end to it as well…
Only idiots would assume that "If Putin is allowed to win in Ukraine - he’ll be like Hitler and make a huge grab at every other nation state in Western Europe as well… Wot a load of ■■■■■■■■!
Tactically, Putin need only split Ukraine down the Dnieper river - and partition it. The British Empire has been known to do that to places like Turkey, so there IS a prescedent there.
West Ukraine, with it’s Liberal Europiles - gets to continue life as normal, as a de-militarized zone.
East Ukraine - goes back to where it started, before politics started removing Pro Russian leaders, and marauding Azov death squads - started ‘removing’ ethnic Russians before last year’s invasion even started, and maybe even precipitated Putin’s invasion as a “Casus Belli”…
Europe? - Loses some production that used to come from East Ukraine’s rich agricultural region. Hardly the same as WWII though - is it?
Maybe comparable to the annexation of Czechovslovakia by ■■■■ Germany, or even Hungary falling to Stalin’s Red Army after WWII…
The Elephant in the Room here - is the EU and likely NATO bound to it:
It cannot be bargained with
It cannot be reasoned with.
It absolutely will.not.stop until everyone is TERMINATED from whatever life they had before this faux religion of Gaia seems to dictate the powers to new heights of depravity around the world.
Don’t forget also, we’ve got the surging power of the Chinese Communist Party to contend with as well, who are currently lending the Western powers no more cheap money - hence why interest rates are running out of control, unless and until there’s somekind of break-through in Ukraine to relieve China of it’s trading partner responsibilities to Russia…
We need to get Brexit completed, before there isn’t a EU left to leave imo.
We also need to kick these “Insurgants” into touch that would break up the UK as some kind of “Punishment” for once being a thriving democracy…
“How DARE UK citizens vote for something we, the Deep State absolutely Forbid!” - Eh?
