How Desperate Are They?

Following May’s deplorable fudge that leaves us as a vassal state to the EU, we still get the scare stories from project fear.

There have been warnings about medical supplies running out, supermarket shelves going empty and the intelligence services being denied access to vital information.

Now, it seems, yet another Brexit danger has emerged: hot school dinners may fall foul of the UK leaving the European Union.

The predicted price-rise of many basic ingredients could force hundreds of schools to abandon their traditional warm midday meal and, instead, offer cold sandwiches and salads, a new report says.

Fuck off! Seriously, take your junk reports, distortions, scaremongering and lies and stick them where the sun don’t shine. And these charlatans are accusing the leave campaign of being somewhat flexible with the actualité… Fucking hell!

  1. Michael Gove, is now scaremongering “No Mars Bars if we leave EU with no deal” (Express) – how utterly trivial and also evil “scare the children”.

    Meanwhile, an adult in the room:

    “Rabb said the final straw was hearing news that the EU intended the backstop customs arrangement, which was negotiated to prevent the need for a border in Northern Ireland, to form the basis of the U.K.’s eventual economic relationship with the bloc. POLITICO was first to report that Tuesday night.

    Asked if someone on the U.K. side had prevented him from knowing earlier he said, “Yep.” When asked who, he said: “I don’t know. I’ve asked how this change was made and who licensed it and there’s not been a clear answer.”

  2. ERG publish Your Right To Know – the case against the Government’s Brexit deal
    Four days after the release of the 585-page draft Withdrawal Agreement for the UK’s exit from the European Union, the European Research Group (ERG) of eurosceptic Conservative MPs today publishes a concise guide making the case against the putative deal.

    In Your Right to Know, the group – chaired by Jacob Rees-Mogg – seeks to put the case against what Theresa May has agreed with the EU in plain English – and BrexitCentral is exclusively publishing the full text of the 7-page document.

  3. Fascinating. This tactic died on it’s arse two years ago, the fact that the remain camp are still banging the same (broken) drum is the clearest insight into their growing desperation…

    • I honestly can’t decide if it’s desperation or just uncontrollable hubris.

      It’s clear that the Reich has wanted no deal from day one. This will cause one of those “beneficial crises” they are so keen on and which they always manipulate with such consumate skill to their own advantage. And they always do this without anybody realising what is going on.

        • I’m tilting towards hubris as they are so detached from the people who’s lives they ruin.

          Will it get through parliament though?

          I did see it opined that May knows it has little chance but it it falls the pound and shares will drop and this will allow her to browbeat any Tory rebels into a second try.

          Will all MPs follow the party lines though? (Whatever those might be) Whatever the situation two years ago we are in a different world. I know more than one honest remainer who’s eyes have been opened wide since 2016. The sheer viciousness and spite from the Reich I have to confess has taken my breath away (and I thought I was pretty well immune from shock at anything they did)

          All the gobbling off I’ve heard has been from remainiacs. Leavers or those who are coming over are ominously quiet.

          • Try r/Europe. Jesus Christ, vicious isn’t justice to it. Sheer hatred of Britain and the British.

  4. May at CBI on Monday: “Deal is Protecting UK jobs and businesses”

    Some beg to differ:

    Excellent, clear informative article. A Lawyers for Britain QC writes:

    Theresa May’s backstop plan would drop the UK into a legal black hole

    ..The tariff and non-tariff barriers of the EU single market and customs union make it more difficult and costly to import competing goods from non-EU countries, so EU27 producers are able to sell this large surplus of goods into the UK market at significantly above world prices.

    These “backstop” terms would force the UK to keep in place the barriers against competing goods from non-EU countries entering the UK market.The “level playing field” terms would suppress the competitiveness of UK industry.

    This would make it impossible in practice to negotiate away the “level playing field” restrictions and barriers against non-EU imports when concluding a long term trade agreement with the EU. Why should the EU concede terms which are worse for the EU in the trade agreement, than it can get simply by not agreeing a trade agreement and letting the “backstop” come into force?

  5. This is spot on:


    We are in the middle of A Very British Coup.

    What we’re seeing is an elaborate, well-financed and co-ordinated plot to overturn not an extreme Left-wing Prime Minister, but the democratically expressed will of the British people.

    It’s being mounted by the Government of the day, aided and abetted by big business and the Civil Service.

    This is A Very British Coup, written by Lewis Carroll. In our new Looking Glass World, words mean — as Humpty Dumpty declared — whatever they want them to mean.

    Thus, the dwindling band of MPs sticking up for the 17.4 million who voted Leave are condemned as plotters and rebels.

    Those, including Theresa May, who are doing everything in their power to prevent Britain leaving the EU and becoming once again a proud, sovereign nation are hailed absurdly as true patriots.

    We’re being informed, in no uncertain fashion, that our votes are worthless, that we don’t count. We’re too ignorant, too uneducated, too racist to be taken seriously. Politicians who try to square the circle are vilified.

    One minute Dominic Raab, who attempted to make a go of being Brexit Secretary, is a principled, pragmatic operator worthy of the highest praise.

    The next, when he is forced to resign because Traitor May has deliberately undermined his negotiating position and then lied about it, he’s dismissed as a disloyal traitor.

  6. Good article

    Where were the Brexit [style] no deal warnings during the Scottish independence debate?

    …Curiously, those same ‘experts’ didn’t flag up such purported risks associated with Scotland leaving the EU and the UK without a deal four years ago; and Scottish independence would have inevitably been a no-deal exit from both.

    The EU, and for that matter the rest of the UK, could not have negotiated any kind of trade arrangement with Scotland until it became a sovereign state – that is, until it was already out of the UK and thus out of the EU.

    Yet no one suggested, as they now suggest about Brexit, that ‘no deal’ would mean the imposition of a blockade. Not even the most ardent unionists warned of plagues of super-gonorrhea and of Prime Ministers being deprived of insulin.

    Why not? The answer says a lot about the true nature of the EU and its attitudes to Britain, which are very different from English attitudes to Scotland

    So either no deal holds no terrors, or terrors have to be confronted, as we once confronted Napoleon. Defending our independence, and by extension that of every European people, from an historically vengeful European Empire is worth more than a container-load of Brie.
