Don't let angry, bitter, nasty losers cause chaos.

Don't get talked into rushing into article 50 until we the British are ready for it. Why should the Remains object? They don't want us to come out at all. 

I refer you to my appeal of the 22nd that whatever the result we must happily unite and work together as a nation. See it here

If everyone, of all parties and all persuasions did that  everything would be very straightforward and easy.

However, my main concern was that the remain people would not behave like that. They'd be angry, disruptive, bitter and negative. That Parliament would be in Chaos, confusion and Limbo. And so it has turned out. The Conservatives are leaderless, Labour are in rebellion, Sturgeon is demanding a new referendum and that's just the start.

Now, as I pointed out on the 25th May and now confirmed, a vote to leave isn't leave but just a mandate to empower our MPs and nation to take us out without actually leaving. Do see it here.

But this was cynically kept from voters by the Remain Groups and the media alike. In fact David Cameron in one of his biggest lies and last ditch idle threats, told the nation a vote to leave is leave and he would immediately invoke article 50 to start the process. As I predicted then, he has done the opposite and resigned.

How many scared Remain voters would've voted to leave instead had they known that all they would be doing is handing power to our MPs? Don't forget most of the Leave votes were based on lies and fear tactics. I challenge the media to ask Leave Voters how many would've been so worried if they knew leaving would still be within our hands and not irrevocable? I challenge them, to ease the fears of the young, by pointing out that it was very nice outside the EU, and to ask their cousins in the USA, Australia, Newzealand & Canada what it's like not to be governed by un-elected EU foreigners? Would they want it?

What we must now do is to take the names of all the angry, bitter, bad loser politicians and media people and ask why they are now trying to disrupt Britain by not uniting wholeheartedly behind Britons and making it work? Without them Parliament wouldn't be in disarray and disruption at all. 

So what is it about this Angry Brigade? Well we have been governed for fifty years by exactly these people. They hate democracy, they hate Britain, they hate our history, and for the first time the ordinary Briton was, 'foolishly', allowed out of his cage to vote against them. For USA's Trump, see UK's Farage. That's how they see them both and they are absolutely mortified by the irreversible revolution that's now well on its way. 

We must now challenge all groups to be at peace and work with the nation or be exposed for what they are. We must insist that the Liberal Elite Common Purpose Police reviews its policies and attitudes to suit most of the community instead of the single issue minorities and Nimbys. See the Rainbow Police Let's see them flying the national flags. There are 35 million drivers keeping all 65 million of us alive. Let's see police working with drivers instead of against them. Get the leading police chiefs to address this or stand down.

So yes this voter message was much more than just a vote against the EU, it was against the whole nasty anti people people policies of Common Purpose and elitism. 

So expect chaos but start off by demanding that our police defend this vote against all disruptive bad tempered losers or answer to the people for allowing disruption. They should also consider action against incitement to hatred and violence too. 

In the meantime, don't get talked into rushing into article 50 until we the British are ready for it. Why should the Remains object? They don't want us to come out they tell us.

Whatever the result we must unite as a nation forever.

Image result for british eu flag

Whatever the result of the EU Referendum we must have a united Britain.

Anyone against the idea of united we stand divided we fall would be no friend of our nation.

The Referendum was foisted on all of us and was bound to be divisive but when it's over, only the enemies of Britain would like to see division continue among us English, Scots, Welsh and Irish. 

There must be no place for victory parades or gloating. No place for seething resentment. Just a realisation that, even among the leading Remainers, there is acknowledgement of enough wrong with the EU that needs to be put right. 

As someone said 'The Referendum is really about 50% who hate the EU and want out, and 50% who hate the EU but want to stay' 

After this is all over, the best thing for all of us is to unite behind Britain and fight for what is best for its people. 

We cannot help anyone from a weak divided position. The best thing for the EU and the world's needy is a strong united Britain; not a divided weak Britain.

Either way, I hope you get the result that you feel is the best result and then be willing to address the worries and concerns of the vanquished.

So now the Evening Standard confirms voting leave isn't a risk

First look at my post of the 25 May here Where I explained then how a vote to leave was only a mandate that empowers our MPs and our Parliament and thus was an advantage to all of us and no risk. 



So they confirm entirely my information of  28  days ago.

So now that it's  out and public, Leave EU & Vote Leave just shouldn't be allowing the Remain side to put their false slant on it. 

Now they must tell voters there is no risk to voting out as they should've done since 25th May. 

All a leave vote will do is to empower our MPs and Parliament. Only anti British people and politicians could object to that.

Empower your Parliament and your MPs and your nation Tomorrow.  
Give them the tools
Vote leave

Why police shouldn't promote single issue groups.




Image result for lgbt flag police

I am very concerned about insidious and covert changes in UK Policing principles which now have burst out openly and overtly into the public domain and are against the interests of the community the police are supposed to serve.

There was a terrible massacre in Orlando of American citizens. Yes apparently it was the haunt of Gays, Lesbians, transvestites and transgender people but the real motives of the killer are yet to be established. 

Most people are not Homosexual, Lesbian, transvestite or trans gender so why exclude them, as people, from the mourning process? Why try to make this a special event just for a minority?

Surely this was an attack on USA people as a whole and we should all be as one on these attacks instead of using them to the advantage any particular group's lobbyists? 

Here in the UK we have seen similar with the murder, by a madman, of MP Jo Cox where a particular agenda group have used her to promote their cause and agenda and worse, to foment anger and unrest among their followers and in the community.

Minority single issue groups commonly turn to aggression whether on animal rights, the EU Referendum, cycling, defence, fracking and so on. At one time this was understood and recognised by UK's Police who knew that their job was to reflect their community. All that seems to have changed.

Image result for lgbt flagPolice, all over the country hoisted the Rainbow Flag of the LGBT group at half staff on their publicly paid for flag poles. Did the public ask for that? Did the public consent to it?

Why not fly the Force flag at half mast in honor of the 49 American citizens who were killed? Even better the Stars & Stripes? Do these English Forces ever fly the Flag of St George like American Police fly the Star Spangled Banner? What about the Union Jack at half mast? Why alienate the rest of the community and make this a solely LGBT event at all? More on that shortly.

But, for now, let's focus on the dangers and undesirability of any public body selectively flying the flags of any particular group. Why not fly Christian flags at half staff in commemoration of the Christians who have been getting slaughtered for their faith recently? What about the flag of Freemasons, many of whom were executed by the Nazis and continue to be discriminated against to this day?  So who gets their flag flown by our police and why?

Below is a very good example of a United States LGBT blog site, and with UK Gays not only promoting and fomenting anger and unrest over the Jo Cox murder but also misleading the USA over Brexit too. At one point I am told to 'F off' because I am not Gay and therefor not entitled to defend my own country.

Now before anyone suggests that the blog and the posts isn't representative of the whole LGBT movement, that isn't the point. It shows why officials cannot be selective about groups to support and those not to support. Police Flags, Union Flags, our National Flag, and if appropriate other national flags yes but group flags? No way.

I have included below just some of the comments from these LGBT supporters on this blog to save save you time.

Just a selection of the thoughts behind the Rainbow.
  • 'I've never understood why Americans are obsessed with donkeys' holes, when arses are so much more interesting.'
  • 'By subscribing to Neo Nazi philosophy, He is effectively the traitor to his own country and what Britain stands for.'
  • 'The Brexit campaign over here is trying to distance itself from it by claiming Mair was already a radicalised Britain First activist, especially the Daily Fail (Mail), Sun, Express and several other yellow journalistic rags. The irony in all this is that UKIP lead by Nigel Farage is nothing more than a radicalised hate group cum political party since its inception. It's key premise, to use immigration/xenophobia with an end result to get the UK out of the EU. This referendum is about them and those who aren't UKIP members but endorse the Brexit campaign are just as complicit. Farage was the one who demanded it. Say what they want, his party has paved the way to legitimise racism, xenophobia, homophobia and misogyny. Absolutely vile. Now I'm waiting for the Brexit trolls to come in and give me a bollocking with their predictable rants.'
  • 'OK... So that's Brexit? ....anti-organised labour, anti-immigrant anti-minority and anti-intellectual ... anti youth? .....have I missed any one on your "not worthy of a vote list"....LGBTQ perhaps?'
  • 'If the majority UKIP MEPs did something other than align themselves with neo-Nazis then we'd have more influence.' 
  • 'He assassinated a campaigner for human rights and refugees, a wife, and a mother, but above all a fellow human being based on lies and bigotry.'
  • 'A far-right extremist who sided with the Brexit campaign murdered a wife, mother and politician who supported remain.'
  • 'Don't try to use the 'mental illness' argument here. It simply won't wash.'
  • 'Oh fuck you. The Brexit campaign has been nonstop stoking racist nativist shitwipes and this is the predictable result. This murder will permanently stain the Brexit campaign and it fucking should'
  • 'A politician was assassinated by someone who presumably didn't like her politics but we shouldn't make this political?
  • Do me a favour and go back to defending the NRA after a massacre will you?'
  • 'You're on a gay site here, if you hadn't noticed.'
  • 'You're not making good points. You're just trying to obfuscate the real reasons for the murder.'
  • 'With such faint criticism of an assassin, you almost sound like you support him.'
  • 'A murderous neo-Nazi Brexiteer is reduced to a 'local nutter' in your world.'
  • 'And you complain when intelligent people here treat you like a numpty..'.
But it isn't just about Gays. There's also the loud and aggressive minority cycle lobby that, even though they are an unneeded and human hazard, are actually an imposition and liability for needed infrastructure. Anything that impedes and imposes a liability on drivers is, by definition, anti The Community who depend on drivers but not cycling.  

Look here at how the police are pandering to the Cycle Lobby against the interest of the community. 

So far, the woman head of roads policing, Suzette Davenport, who promoted one of the most unfair and draconian new policies against drivers won't even address genuine road safety truths for the good of all of us and road safety. See the appeal here.


So why are police so against the majority of us now? Why are the police more about single issue minorities and forcing them on us at public expense too? Well it's partly because of Common Purpose to which all officials on the promotion ladder must adhere. Most of it isn't in the public interest at all, is selective and very unfair.

Of course much of this is about discrimination against what they see as the biggest threat to minority groups, now openly called the indigenous 'Stale, Pale and Male' and so easily outnumbered jointly by women, homosexuals, transvestites, transgender, black and brown groups. See more on how the most representative UK grouping has been marginalised.

Another costly and divisive single issue group being promoted from police budgets is women in the police. See this Hilton Hotel story here.

It really is about time that we all demand that police operate in line with public interest and public demand and not to the agendas of single issue minority groups.

What better start than to ban anything but official flags from police stations and for 'Stale Pale Male' police officers to start demanding there are no selective single issue police groups too? Why no Stale Male Pale Police Officers Association?

Suzette Davenport is a cycling lesbian by the way. More on that here

Changing The Referendum Register Deadline Fiasco



The Nation is voting for its future in a one off referendum and was promised a deadline for registration. David Cameron has reneged on that promise.

The system failed under his watch so the simple answer would've been for him to apologise and together with the civil servants involved, resign. In no way should the deadline have been changed. 

Clearly it can be of no advantage to the UK to worry about people who were so disinterested that they had not bothered to register till now, and so dilatory in their outlook, that they do not deserve a vote at all.

Now that the extension has been allowed, these registrations should not be counted until after a full debate in the House of Commons. This was not a matter for the man responsible for the failure and who should no longer be The Prime Minister.

It is well known that all Remain politicians believe that a lot will depend on young adolescents, with no experience of any other system and when we were free, or of running a home family and mortgage. Would one of these ever be able to be Prime Minister? 

What ever happened to major matters being left in the hands of wise elders? So here they are, using public funds, in all media, calling for people to register, with little regard for what is best for Britain but more for their own agendas. Having done this, even on deadline day, they managed to jam up their own system so that people couldn't register as we neared midnight. Many thousands were, in effect, disenfranchised for the final couple of hours.

So the Remain answer has been to extend the deadline by some forty eight hours. We have no way of knowing if they would've done that if the potential was against their agendas or how many now registering, were trying to anyway.

Of course The Leave groups are forced to consent to it. They know that they would be accused of opposition to democracy so must grin and pretend they welcome a mass of potential extra Remain votes. Believe that and you'll believe anything.

Do the Remain politicians think the British are so daft not to know what this is really all about? If it looks like a duck, quacks like duck and waddles like a duck it's probably a duck.

Why would the Labour Party, The Scots Nationalist Party, The Lib Dems & Greens, who normally despise David Cameron just let him off the hook when they could cause his total demise? Because they are all tarred with the same EU brush as he is; that's why. And they fear that, if you vote to leave the EU, they will be forced to actually stop it happening which will please David Cameron no end and who could then blame them for not acceding to your wishes.

So clearly when it comes to democracy, commitment and promises, they are also tarring themselves with Cameron's Brush of reneging on a promise to the Nation on one of the most crucial issues in our long history. If anything, they are showing why none of them can be trusted on this issue or any other for that matter. 

If they think so little of the nation that they are prepared to renege on such a fundamental promise just to allow dilatory and slovenly people- who should've already been registered for normal elections had they ever been interested - then none of these politicians are worthy of your trust in this crucial issue.

Well it's not too late to turn this around by the 23rd June. Get Cameron and those who caused this, to stand down from office, and decree that no-one, not registered before the crash, will be allowed to vote. Who comes first, the country or some dilettantes with clearly no interest in it?

Let's pray that our leaders have noted the late registrations just in case

What would we expect of honest politicians?
