October 31 draws ineluctably closer and with it the prospect of, " Brexit " actually happening.

The monumental rearguard action undertaken by the Remain campaign to sabotage ,delay ,impede and ultimately eviscerate Brexit as the legitimate democratic expression of the UK electorate in the EURef 2016 - has been to all intents and purposes successful!

There is, of course a price to pay for all their shenanigans and in all likelihood it will be a very heavy one.

Without recourse to muskets and halberds or judicial auto-da-fes , this country has gone through and to a large extent well into future will continue going through a significant period of historical political sea change on par with The Tudor Reformation of the 1530s and 40s as well as The English Civil War(s) of a Century later.

And in spite of the socio-economic driven ideological schisms that have affected all major parliamentary parties over the issue of  " Brexit ", to a greater degree these Parties have carried on with their various , parochial petty concerns with an astounding insouciance.Quite simply, contrary to all the alarms and noises generated, not one of them has been riven irredeemably apart.

The antiquated First Past The Post electoral system has in effect acted as the dead man's handle in keeping the parliamentary edifice from simply keeling over and crashing off the track.

The meteorite has hit and this time the Dinosaurs have refused to die. Just as the hoped for massive gains in the Reformation ended up over historic time pretty marginal at best and the dreams of the Levellers and other Puritan radicals during the Civil War never bore the harvests of the fruit of their endeavours, so with the UK's exit from the European Union.

Then again, the Stoic axiom that nothing worthwhile can ever be achieved without pain and sacrifice has yet to dawn on the EU /Soros funded seditionist shills who masqueraded under so many disguises ending up as Peoples Vote.

The 80% or so of MPs who backed Remain , the metropolitan cultural elitists,academics, luvvies and City shysters ,those who since June 2016 denounced and villified their compatriots as xenophobic,little englander racist thugs ,cretins and morons who voted the way they did for Brexit because they were too stupid,ill advised and under educated to fail to understand that voting Remain was the only sensible thing to do with one's own emancipated right to vote by secret ballot.

Having obviously achieved something worthwhile , Remoaners, great and small can now look forward to a future of pain and sacrifice.

 Schadenfreude!

History gets written by the winners.And losers tend to get a good kicking.

Ultimately there is no-one who is actually ” righteous ” in any of this; no,not one. But that doesn’t mean we ought not to take sides and be actively committed to a cause.

What it ought to mean is, that irrespective of the outcome of any particular argument and our role in it ,history gets made, out of which altered circumstances newer conditions inexorably evolve and develop and the struggle renews and is renewed by this inimitable dynamic of human society.

But we still like our side,the cause we’re committed to to prevail,we do really want to be the ones on the winning side writing the history of a particular struggle. If that were not so then we’d all be supine conformist automatons and all human society /civilisation would be locked into a totalitarian stasis forever.Which of course is utterly absurd but that’s exactly where our present day ruling elites would like to keep the rest of us.

Having themselves been the main beneficiaries of previous favourable outcomes of revolutionary historical struggles,they,our present day ruling elites,do not want others now to be in their turn be the beneficiaries of this current burgeoning period of historical evolution and development.

Nothing exemplifies this dialectical /historical materialist impasse more graphically than the travails and crises overwhelming the ancien regime of the European Union.Once that tyrannical institution topples,out with it will go political correctness and the entire associated ideological detritus of post-1945 Western dominant ideology that has ransacked and virtually annihilated the great moral and ethical doctrines which once seemed so insuperable but through idleness and sloth failed to be maintained and reinvigorated.

The UK’s intention to Leave the EU, aka Brexit, is perhaps a strategic lynchpin in all of this.it is only “perhaps”,because the political class as servants primarily of the metropolitan ruling elites,are doing their damnedest to emasculate and effectively render impotent whatever Brexit might actually become once implemented in full. The metropolitan elites do not want the brexit that might conceivably energise  a broader turmoil that inevitably leads to the removal of the metropolitan elites themselves from the commanding heights of history at this particular juncture.

Recorded history ( is like a swiss cheese in that it’s mainly made up of holes ) comprises in the main missed opportunities,half-taken chances and procrastination trumping daring. Imagine our contemporary world but where the great Reformation of the 1530’s and 40’s succeeded far more than it was allowed to.Or,the English revolution of the 1630’s and 40’s where Levellers and others had held their nerve and had doubled down on their strategy.

Determining Historical materialist outcomes is not some otiose parlour game of 20/20 hindsight.Certain delayed outcomes,say Irish independence, would have been far better to have been dealt with effectively and resolved around 1884 than they eventually were some 30 years afterwards with what were considerably greater and wider ranging egregious consequences that had not been present thirty years earlier..

And so it goes.

We are not, either here in the UK over Brexit nor on the Continent of Europe because of a cataclysmic failure of the EU tyranny heading into a historic tsunami of unimaginable dimensions,not at all,on the contrary we are already in the middle of it.

The new session of the european parliament convened in Strasbourg the other day. And with it,the EU entered the decisive phase of diplomatic/political horse trading to get its new  leaders in place.

Ultimately, it is the heavy hitters France and Germany and their mutually respective and fluctuating allies that influence/stage manage /cobble together sufficient votes in the parliament to give their imperial appointees at least some veneer of legitimacy.

That by itself would be enough of an otiose event as to preclude anything else that might cause friction let alone excitement among the parliamentary attendees.But no, it was the UK's Brexit Party MEPs who managed to garner the facile opprobrium and spurious media headlines with their stunt of turning their backs toward the musicians scratching out the " Ode to Joy " -that most ersatz and superficial of all anthems anywhere or as the metropolitan Labour Pravda  Guardian put it:-

" Brexit party MEPs turned their backs during the playing of the European anthem at a ceremony to mark the opening of the European parliament.
As a saxophone quartet and opera singer performed Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in the Strasbourg chamber on the first day of the new parliament, the 29 MEPs turned away from the group to face the back wall.
The European parliament’s president, Antonio Tajani, rebuked those MEPs who did not immediately get to their feet. “[It] is a question of respect; it doesn’t mean that you necessarily share the views of the EU. If you listen to the anthem of another country you rise to your feet.”

The most telling thing about that impudent attempt at rebuking the Brexiteers was the Freudian slip, " if you listen to the anthem of another country you rise to your feet". Contrary to the delusional alternate reality shared by,amongst others of a similar ilk,the EU funded seditionist Peoples Vote, the european union is not a country.

Obviously there is that historic legal trompe l'oeil of " eu citizens " which was foisted upon all and sundry by the passage of the 1992 Maastricht treaty and which in due course gave legal residence status to millions of otherwise jobless turnip-chuckers and jobsnatchers from the rustbelts of eastern europe and the Balkans who descended on the UK like a biblical plague of locusts-from which the UK is never ever likely to recover.

That super-sized Mammoth in the room aside, the Brexiteers act of symbolic petulance earned them the epithet,ever the default line of reasoning from the Leave campaign aka Labour/LibDems/Greens of " Nazis" !

Were any additional proof required as to why we shall never Leave the EU,here it is again.
