There are 1,001 vastly more challenging issues and problems that ought to be occupying our attention, but still it all comes down to being stuck in the Leave /Remain quagmire.

I'm sure that the likes of Thomas Cromwell had pretty much the same view about how the Reformation was panning out in the 1540s.

Apparently WE - the royal "we" aren't voting the way that the generally smug,middle class EU funded public sector bureaucrats,professionals,academics,luvvies and shysters would like us to vote.

The "We" are still being stupid,ignorant,xenophobic etc etc. And the way they can "prove"(  as they did back on June 23 2016,that in actual point of fact 48% is numerically equal as well as  intrinsically morally superior to 52% ) that pro- Brexit parties lost the EU elections 2019 is by adding up all the votes cast for all the parties and arbitrarily assigning them top pro and anti-brexit forces.

 Or as I tweeted somewhat more succinctly at the time:- #RemainSurge If you add up all the points of the other 19 teams in the Premier League,clearly Man City got fewer than them and so can't be Champions. Seriously? Boy are the Remainers f****d in their head! #EUelections2019

No,seriously they've asserted that 2+2 does really equal 5 or in fact any number they deem it whenever they feel like it.

In Orwell's  "1984" the Party hack O'Brien tells the hapless protagonist Winston Smith the very same thing. 2+2 = whatever the Party says that it does .or not or both.

 

This is Remainer Britain 2019 after they lost the EURef2016 and lost by proportional representation the EUelections 2019.

 

I give up.

 

P.S.

Then again I might not.

My oh my,how the world has changed over the last five years. Back in 2014, UKIP stormed to a stunning against the odds triumph in the EU Elections and in The Ukraine,in the wake of an EU backed coup d'etat, a western backed oligarch signed up to the EU's terms and conditions.

Five years on and here in 2019, the Brexit Party is on the very cusp of repeating UKIP's electoral achievements in the Greater Germany Reichstag elections and in The Ukraine a professional comedian with no political experience whatsoever has been sworn in as the duly elected president of the Republic after utterly electorally destroying the west's previously installed puppet Poroshenko.

And so it goes..

Yesterday,May 20 I was among a hundred or so people who greeted Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage's whistle-stop open top bus tour in Wakefield. Earlier in the day his stopover in Newcastle became MSM and social media news after a sensationalist assault against his person by a hooligan lobbing a milkshake at him.

The chinless,spineless,genderless Left/Anarcho-Greens eulogised this petty and ineffectual common assault as some kind of heroic act of anti-fascist resistance and protest.The Vegan Al-Qaeda and their neutered identity/gender politics driven co-religionists don't read much and have never read history and don't discuss let alone engage in debate on political or philosophical matters.

It has gotten way past being merely repetitive and tiresome,for instance, having to state blindingly obvious points such as that the terms-born out of the 1789 French revolution - Right and Left - are no longer adequate or meaningful descriptors for the various and contending organised strands of political beliefs and loyalties.

The EU funded seditionist fifth-columnist shills Peoples Vote campaign ( aka Labour and their LibDem,Green, various regional separatist and Tory allies ) have trademarked "fascist" , "nazi" and "racist" as their primary pinpricks of abuse against all and sundry who voted for Leave and who continue to demand the upholding of the democratic process and the full and unequivocal implementation of the result of the UK-wide referendum on the UK's EU membership.

The other epoch changing phenomenon that became so evident in 2014, continues virtually unabated to any significant degree; the ineluctably evolving and burgeoning Populist/nationalist democratic tsunami continues rolling out across the continent of Europe.

The morning shall come when the nations of Europe will again belong to their own People;tomorrow belongs to them.

May 23rd might turn out to be significant after all.These are first elections to be held for UK MEPs to the EU  "parliament" since we officially,legally and constitutionally departed the EU on March 29 2019.

We've come a long way since the last time these "elections" were held in 2014.Then again nothing much has changed.

Apart that is from the intervening Plebiscite on the UK's continued membership of the EU itself; which if you read your future metropolitan elitist history books, shows that by voting  52% to 48% in favour of Leaving, the electorate were deemed to have made an incomprehensibly stupid mistake.

So the result was subsequently overruled and the masses who'd voted,( in the naive believe that by so doing,they were shaping the UK's future destiny) were peremptorily stuffed back into the ventriloquist dummy's box and told that their opinions however expressed counted for less than zero.

And yet on May 26 in the aftermath of those 2014 elections,I posted in my WordPress blog, And So It Goes #476 :-

We are barely into Monday,26th.May 2014 and Orwell’s frequently referenced ” Doublethink ” is alive and well in crises ridden Europe and nowhere more belligerently than in EU damaged Britain.

Already the shattered remnants of the (british ?) Labour Party are hailing their second place in the UK section of the EU’s mock-parliamentary elections as an undisputed historic success .

Their tawdry and even more deluded  “Conservative” Party pro-Brussels co-conspirators volubly assert that they indeed will now begin to “listen” to the pressing concerns of those of the electorate who voted – protest voted they insist-for UKIP.

And so it goes. As for me ,I’m as happy as the proverbial lark,I’m walking on sunshine,I’m feeling just great.

The marginally less irrational toadying media vassals have managed to summon up a scintilla of intellectual , if not moral ,contrition and have in their own socio-autistic way communicated something approaching a visceral acknowledgement of the actual,sheer,unadulterated,magnificent awe-inspiring magnitude of just what the disparate peoples of the dystopian EU Reich managed to achieve over these last few halcyon days.

 In Britain,UKIP triumphed in the face of the most morally repugnant,unprincipled and heinous campaign of slander,misinformation and defamation ever mounted against an political entity in peacetime.

In France also,where a robust and resolute Patriotism has once again found its most profound and articulate proponents in galvanic form. Notionally on the equally moribund Right and Left,from Denmark and Belgium through Germany on into Italy and Greece and all points in between,the free citizens of liberty have set in train the beginning of the end of that unspeakable tyranny in Brussels.

Can you hear that freedom train coming on down the track ? Free at last,hallelujah,we’re free at last !

Postscript,May 14 2019 :- I got the same feeling x100 on the morning of June 24 2016 when the EURef result became known.

The pantomime continues.. The UK's Quisling Regime has chosen today,VE Day,of all days on which to announce the UK's participation in the 2019 EU Elections.

Legally and constitutionally we of course threw off the yoke of EU bondage on March 29 2019.But the MSM, Commentariat and all the major parties persist in maintaining the tawdry illusion that,somehow,the very life of Brexit is still being arduously fought over by the forces of Remain and the forces of Remain just a little bit longer.

Yet just three short years ago,the EU funded seditionist,fifth-column shills of peoples Vote were barely a glint in George Soros' reptilian eyes.

Supremely self-confident of an ineluctable and historically predetermined triumph at the ballot box,the then UK Chief-Toilet Attendant Cameron, stoked the flames of the Vote to Remain.
Here's a recap of my post of 9 May 2016 - fahrenheit451:048- Spoiler Alert! the irony of course is that neither Cameron nor any other Remoaner politician need have bothered themselves in instigating the metropolitan elitist faux-hysteria.Why ? because the UK was never ever going to be allowed to Leave in any event.........

Another 45 days to go to Referendum Day on June 23,and by the looks of things they’ll have all run out of hyperbole long before we get anywhere near that singularly significant date. We don’t normally, as a supposedly supine and compliant sovereign electorate, get this much Sturm und Drang during General Elections.

The recent Scottish Independence Referendum however did and for the most part it was a welcome heating up of the usual permafrost of indolence and indifference that have been the dominant characteristics of political discourse in the UK as a whole for generations now.

Quite a lot of of otherwise utterly superfluous parliamentary expenses-swindling party appartchiks are genuinely getting worked up about something,but quite what that something is remains a source itself of intense speculation and forensic scrutiny.

For example, for Mary Creagh MP for T’Wakefield , ( yes the Blessed Mary of the Now once again Resurgent Majority ) it’s all down to cheaper calls on the mobile.For others it’s the bonds of eternal friendship with the crypto-fascist gangster regimes of Croatia,Romania and Bulgaria or the legions of unemployed alcoholics from the bankrupt former Soviet Baltic states that are so necessary to the UK recruitment industry in order to drive down wages.

And now,according to Yu-Kay ,Lavatory-Attendant-in-Chief Dave Cameron it’s all about preventing worldwide war and catastrophe. War, especially in the vicinity of even this supine,euro-compliant,Strasbourg’s Rent Boy nation is according to Dave and his chums in the Intelligence & Security Services potentially not a good thing.

And should it ever come it,when the plucky grandsons of the Hurricane and Spitfire heroes have to go and target yet more strategic hospitals and TV studios across the Oder, then concomitantly there would be a vast amount of potential fifth-columnists that would need accommodating in detention camps.At least that’s what used to happen when things went fizz,bang,pop on the other side of the Channel.

But perhaps not this time because Dave clearly implied that it is the stabilising influence of the EU that is in fact preventing such a lively scenario from ever being played out again.

I think he’s pointing the finger at Russia don’t you ? And on May 9th. Victory Day. The last time My Nation and My People finally sorted out the mess others had encouraged,started and had aimed it all at Russia.

Still, June 23 Liberation Day looms a little closer.

( Originally posted on May 4 2017 as fahrenheit451:147 ) and the UK government and parliament have been going round in ever decreasing circles since.

The historically moribund European Union  can be viewed as a sleazy,corrupt,kleptocratic hellhole of outright fraud and embezzlement. Amid all the venal hubristic posturing surrounding #Brexit ,once all the vacuous platitudes have been aired and philosophical points have been examined it all comes back down to money.Who pays what to whom and for what and how long for. The current article from the euro observer is particularly instructive on this matter :-

Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, in exchange for their access to the EU single market, fund initiatives aimed at reducing social and economic disparities in poorer EU member states.

Hungary and Poland risk losing €1bn in Norway aid row

OSLO, 3. MAY, 09:20

Efforts by Hungary and Poland to control funds directed to NGOs are blocking negotiations over the renewal of a €1 billion Norwegian scheme to support civil society.

The Central European governments want to take funds from organisations supporting women, gay people and the homeless, among others.

Norway has refused to give in to such demands, meaning that negotiations are stuck.

"The situation is very unclear. In the worst case, the whole support scheme could be blocked," said Vera Mora from the NGO Okotars, which administered the last Norway grant scheme in Hungary.
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, in exchange for their access to the EU single market, fund initiatives aimed at reducing social and economic disparities in poorer EU member states.

Norway is by far the biggest donor of the so-called EEA funds, doling out some 96 percent of the money.

Poland is the largest beneficiary, followed by Romania and Hungary.
Under the next scheme, which runs until 2021, Poland stands to receive €809 million, Hungary €215 million.

The funds cover some shortfalls in healthcare budgets and help companies to adopt green technologies. They pay for the upkeep of cultural heritage sites and fund research projects.
Roughly 10 percent of the cash is dedicated to independent support of civic society, a mandatory part of programme.

In Poland, the Law and Justice (PiS) government has formally announced that it would like the money to be channelled through a government body - although they have yet to establish the body.

And frankly my dear that is quite outrageous! especially given that a strand of contentious opinion on #Brexit recommends that the UK go the EEA route to maintaining Single market access once we have actually exited the EU !!

As a rule of thumb, the further east and south you go across the continent of europe the greater the incidence of systemic corruption within EU member states. The scale of it beggars rational belief.It makes the Danegeld tribute paid by 10th.Century English Kings to keep the foreign invaders quiet seem like spare pocket change.

Brexit needs to be done asap, no further negotiations whatsoever, no compromise transitional EEA membership.

Footnote 4 May 2019:-

Brexit by the way, has already de facto been betrayed,annulled,cancelled.

That particular orchestra packed up and went home ages ago,but the dancers continue to dance.
