Saboteurs are doing us down

IT HAS been 14 months since the nation voted in the clearest terms for a departure from the European Union. Since then our fanatically pro-EU establishment has fed us lie after lie. Let us get this straight: Europe is a continent, a landmass, not a governmental system and as such it cannot have a collective opinion.

So we are not “leaving Europe”. We are going nowhere and neither is the continent. As neighbours for ever we can cooperate and collaborate on a thousand different and mutually beneficial activities and that is exactly what the vast majority of the British wish to do.

We can work together on science, research, exchange visits, culture, sport, clean air, clean seas, tourism – the list goes on and on.

All we ever wanted our bureaucrats and luvvies to recognise is the difference between collaboration and subordination. It is the latter we wish to end.

Those in high places seeking to stultify this majority desire are behaving precisely like those who in the Cold War sided with the USSR against their own country. We called them Fellow Travellers.

Those pro-EU fanatics now seeking to frustrate the clear public will are almost entirely on the public payroll – my ballpark figure? Eighty per cent – and should be the subject for a huge clear-out.

Even if a few hundred received their marching orders, the message to the rest would be very clear. To know that every penny entering your bank account comes from the British taxpayer is a privilege. It is to be repaid with loyalty. Those with a different life-calling can get a job in the private sector and pay for themselves.

So what does this country truly need to be self-sufficient and contented? I suggest three things: sovereignty, prosperity and security. Can I define them? I think so.

Sovereignty depends upon the absolute right – not a timid request – of the British to know two things: that the supreme governmental authority within these islands is the British Parliament and that the supreme legal authority is the British Supreme Court.

At the moment neither is the case. Stupid and mendacious politicians (both parties) signed away our sovereignty years ago.

We can parade our tourist-entrancing pageantry till we are blue in the face – pageantry is not sovereignty so long as the governmental and legal supremacy is vested in Brussels.

To prosper we must trade and trade and trade. We are a small group of islands with a huge population but minuscule raw materials.

We trade or we plunge into Third World poverty. Yet we have no one-to-one free-trade treaty with USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, India, Brazil – to name just the giants.

Why? We are forbidden to trade except within EU trade treaties.

Security depends on Army, Navy, Air Force, Special Forces, MI6, MI5, GCHQ and the very intimate “special relationships” we have built up over the years with scores of friendly nations on all five continents.

EUROPEAN security chiefs salivate over our supremacy in this shadowed world which you, dear reader, will seldom if ever see. You just see the arrests in the morning paper. This supremacy is a huge lever which we should fully employ in our Brexit negotiations.

All of the arrogant Eurocrats in charge in Brussels think we can be provoked and humiliated (study the passport chaos inflicted on our tourists at a series of airports right across the EU at the moment) with impunity.

The trouble is: so long as a vigorous pro-EU fifth column operates freely at the heart of our establishment they are right.
