I don't think even The Guardian would publish such a shallow and embarrassingly childish personal attack as this.

If the recent editorial slant on the DT continues then my subscription won't be renewed. There are plenty of other left wing propaganda outlets in the UK where I can read this sort of nonsense.

What's the point of Maitlis doing an interview when she's already determined the outcome?

Freddie - "Reading the article one feels it's just an excuse to get the same rant out there again."

Exactly what I took from it. Pretty odd apology.

Remember. For there is work still in process.

Why we voted leave
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 23, 2018
On 23rd June 2016 17.4 million voters told Parliament we should leave the EU.

Leave voters voted to take back control.

We voted to take back control of our money, our laws and our borders.

We voted to be a sovereign people again.

The overarching aim is to restore our freedoms

To become self governing as we used to be

We wish our Parliaments to frame our laws

To levy and spend out taxes

To make our borders safe

To award the precious gift of citizenship to those we choose to invite

We did not vote in the belief that future Parliaments will always be wise

Nor that they will always get it right

We voted to restore powers to Parliament because it is our Parliament

We can lobby and influence it

We can dismiss it and replace the MPs when they no longer please.

I find it surprising that some find it difficult to understand this overriding wish

For it is based on our long standing pursuit of freedom

It springs from our history

The history of the UK is the story of the long march of every man and every woman to the vote

The story of asserting the rule of law against all, however mighty.

We prize the gift of freedom under the law for all on an equal basis

We share an aversion to slavery

A dislike of military rule

A resistance to arbitrary government

A rejection of the patronising errors of elites

A distaste for overmighty bureaucracies cramping our freedoms

A belief that we should be free to do whatever we please unless the laws prevents it

The signposts to democracy run through Magna Carta to the first Parliaments

From the 1660 settlement to the Glorious Revolution

From the Great Reform Act to the triumph of the suffragettes

We carelessly lost some of these freedoms,

casting away much of the power of our vote and voice

by passing powers to the European Union

We allowed the EU to impose laws we did not want

To levy taxes we disagreed with

And to spend our money as they saw fit

Brexit is designed to recall those lost powers

An important month
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 28, 2020
The forces of Pessimism and defeat want the U.K. to seek an extension to the negotiating year with the EU. It is most important that the Prime Minister and Mr Frost refuse to countenance such a dreadful idea. There is nothing we could negotiate next year that we cannot negotiate this year. The U.K. made a mess of the negotiations under Mrs May who trusted the Official Civil service and liked advice that always meant the U.K. giving in on issue after issue.

The present government has so far been as clear as Mrs May was muddled over what the U.K wants. It has rightly refused to accept the EU’s wish to settle fish first before anything else and make our fish a further payment to them. It has proposed a free trade agreement as the base of the future relationship but said no agreement would also work fine.

There is no point in negotiating through June unless the EU changes its approach and understands we are not giving away powers over our fish, our laws or our money. The EU pretends we want to stay in the single market and customs Union, which we voted to leave.

The U.K. just has to stay calm, be pleasant but show great resolve. We are not going to give in again and do not want some kind of Association Agreement putting has back under the EU Court and law

Newsnight 'breached BBC impartiality guidelines' with Cummings remarks



Reading the article one feels it's just an excuse to get the same rant out there again.

Just a minor comment hidden away.

Full sovereignty is fundamental to the UK’s success in the post-Brexit future. For it to be achieved a number of loose ends left by the Brexit withdrawal process must be tied up.


Riddled with EU law it would enable the EU to restrict the UK’s competitiveness

and encroach on the status of Northern Ireland itself in terms of sovereignty. It

applies the politically charged EU State aid rules to the whole of the UK, giving

the European Commission executive authority over important matters of UK economic

policy such as tax relief or other incentivisations for UK businesses where these

could in theory (in the judgement of the ECJ) distort trade across the Irish

border. It also creates a border across the Irish Sea. As such, the end result is

unworkable and is not the result the parties committed to achieve.

Importantly, the EU has committed to recognise the UK’s ability to protect its

single market. The Protocol would defeat this because it would restrict the UK

from charging tariffs, as it entitled to do (under WTO law), to protect its

businesses’ Northern Ireland operations from trade dumping and unfair

subsidisations from EU producers – which already occur and are getting worse

because of the economic effects of Covid19.

Last time I had Scottish currency the shop wouldn't take it, said haven't you got any English money.

I wouldn't have minded so much, but it was in Edinburgh.

[utrickytrees] 27/5/2020 21:58

Blackpool has a better GDP than Scotland.

[bargainbob] 27/5/2020 21:53

Got no Rolex , actually for every Scottish pound printed there a pound in the treasury .
Do not let facts get in the way.

Someone ought to explain to BB that printing Scottish Sterling notes does not mean they've got a monetary system in place. He in all sincerity, but naively posted some graphics of Scottish notes as proof they had their own currency. We are bailing out Scotland big time once again over the lock-down. They are simply not a country of independent means, but do have a big stake in the Union. Pity they hate standard English and think anyone who speaks with neutral received pronunciation, is a Toooory. Unfortunately the class system in England is still based on regional accents and absolutely nothing to do with wealth. But you can get very wealthy if you have a sought after accent and become a speech coach. Richard Burton had to work very hard to get rid of his Pontrhydyfen accent to acquire that lugubrious voice that won him 7 Oscars. Dare I say it, he was a single facial expression actor.

[cheshire pete] 27/5/2020 21:46

Well said jacko. Desperate tactics by the remoaners now. They won't give up, different guises and ploys so we need to be vigilant. Boris and his advisors including Cummings will be wise to it.
No extension, leave no deal.
