The Malthouse Compromise

An extract of an article courtesy of 'Brexit Central', that is informative and for the first time explains how the Withdrawal Agreement can be achieved without rupturing the UK's bid for freedom from the EU To read the full article please use the link below https://brexitcentral.com/malthouse-compromise-explained/ The structure of the compromise is to offer the EU a choice of two plans:  Plan A is predicated on achieving agreement on a WA that addresses the  principal weakness of the current version, the perpetual character of the  Irish backstop, and its consequences for the Future Relationship between  the UK and the EU. Plan B assumes that agreement on a WA is not possible  and that both sides accept a responsibility to act so as to minimise as far as  possible the disruption that might arise to people and businesses in the EU  and the UK. Both Plan A and Plan B involve the UK’s ceasing to be a Member State of the  EU according to the timetable set by Article 50

Steve Baker MP lifts the lid on deliberate anti-Brexit Cabinet machinations

Betrayal by our government laid bare This interview of Mr Baker in committee is outstanding stuff and clearly shows how our Prime Minister and Cabinet have from the referendum onward have deliberately designed mechanisms to keep the UK under EU control, a defacto betrayal of the Leave voting public. He also comments on media bias and 'fear' news from our institutions. It a 'long watch/listen' but very worthwhile.

New parliamentary system needed

Our current parliament is not performing democratic duties The Brexit shambles has highlighted a basic fault with our system of governance. Nominally a Representative Parliamentary Democracy, our system seems to be missing the 'democracy'. Shamefully, whatever path was chosen in the Brexit referendum, our leaders have ignored the will of the voting public. In the case of the 'Brexit Referendum', parliament deemed that it should be the people of the UK who decided, Leave or Remain: in essence abrogating their responsibility to govern. So dutifully, we did vote and in this case the Leave vote won and by a majority that would have caused no objection  had it been a vote for a political party in a general election. Now we are being governed by disaffected MP's who didn't want a Referendum and a very vocal 'losing' public who will do anything to have their way, (Remain). What comes next?  Firstly, measures should be taken to stop Prime Ministers from

The final betrayal of Brexit?

LEAKED RECORDING OF PHILIP HAMMOND OUR CHANCELLOR SELLING OUT BREXIT! Full report read first on Independence Daily https://independencedaily.co.uk/your-daily-brexit-thursday-17th-january-2019/?utm_source=mailpoet&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=INDEPENDENCE+Daily+Newsletter1 “A recording of the call, passed to The Daily Telegraph, recounts how the Chancellor, Greg Clark, the Business Secretary, and Stephen Barclay, the Brexit Secretary, spent nearly an hour talking to the leaders of 330 leading firms. They included the heads of Siemens, Amazon, Scottish Power, Tesco and BP, all of whom warned against no deal. The disclosure reveals the close nature of the relationship between the Treasury and some of Britain’s biggest businesses, and how they appear to be working in tandem to block a hard Brexit.  […]  Mr Hammond assured the business leaders that the Government would stop spending money on no-deal preparations “as soon as we know we are not going there” and give

The Seven Deadly Sins in the draft Withdrawal Agreement

SOME REASONS WHY WE SHOULD NEVER ACCEPT THERESA MAY'S 'DEAL' UNLESS IT'S SANITISED FIRST!   SEVEN DEADLY WITHDRAWAL SINS briefingsforbrexit.com Theresa May has made many unsupported claims about the EU’s Withdrawal Agreement. This article shows that the Agreement contradicts at least seven of her assertions. In reality, the WA binds the UK indefinitely to the EU in a subordinate position, and removes its parliamentary and legal sovereignty in an unprecedented attack on our democratic rights. Theresa May’s draft Withdrawal Agreement conceals within its prescriptive EU prose provisions that would suspend parliamentary democracy over a vital range of laws and policies indefinitely. This can be explained by a point-by-point examination of what the Prime Minister claims the Withdrawal Agreement does compared with what it actually says. 1. The PM says we will leave the Customs Union and be able to diverge from EU regulations. The

World Trade Organisation; what frightens the EU?

THE EU AND THE WTO The EU acceded to the WTO or GATT as it was then in 1995 and has been trading with the rest of the World (164 countries plus their overseas territories) on WTO rules ever since. So what is so frightening about the UK trading on these rules? IT WOULD GIVE THE UK AN ADVANTAGE OVER THE EU AND ITS MEMBER STATES!  164 countries all trade with each other on WTO rules and prosper, many significantly more so than some individual EU member states. SO THERE IT IS, THE EU COMMISSION ET AL ARE DESPERATE TO STOP THEIR REMAINING MEMBERS FROM SEEING THE UK PROSPER OUTSIDE OF THE EU GROUP

Much denied EU Army development

15 PAGE MILITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN - PESCO (PERMANENT STRUCTURED COOPERATION) Over the years the EU has progressed towards developing its own army, air-force and navy, whilst denying the ambition to grow a fully integrated military force. Back in November of last year the EU published a training and development plan, (see link below), which must have taken years to negotiate and prepare..........the EU Army is emerging......... BUT the EU is not one country, did I hear you say? Well it soon will be the European Republic, if its ambitions are not thwarted by those member states, who wish to retain some semblance of identity and sovereignty! https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/37028/table-pesco-projects.pdf
