Stop appeasing EU bureaucrats

At a time when the NHS clearly needs more funding, and when senior citizens are being threatened with the withdrawal of their free TV licences to save money for the Vichy minded BBC, Theresa May and her fellow quislings, negotiating from their knees, are prepared to offer their beloved EU many more billions of pounds, so they can effectively keep the UK under the thumb of Brussels. Almost exactly 80 years ago the British establishment appeased continental bullies and, but for Churchill, would have cost us our democracy and freedom. Have they learned nothing from history?

The issue of the Irish border is a red herring, introduced by the EU as a means of attempting to pressurise the UK into granting concessions. I cross the border between the EU and Switzerland at least four times every year without problems, and there is no reason this cannot be the case between Northern Ireland and Eire after Brexit, while we should look upon threats from Donald Tusk about a No Deal Brexit in the same light as Br’er Rabbit regarded being thrown into the briar patch. If the Remainers, with their blinkered view of the realities of the EU, succeed in humiliating the British people in front of the entire world, by overturning the largest democratic vote in our history, then I have one message for them. When the inevitable collapse of the Euro plunges our economy into disaster, when they fi the powers of the elected Westminster parliament have been fully transferred to appointed bureaucrats in Brussels, and when they see their sons and daughters sent to fight in Germany’s wars, they should remember that they will only have themselves to blame.
