I haven’t seen one anti Brexit pro EU mouthpiece back up any of the numbers they are throwing around, with respected published data. Not one. France and Germany have performed worse than the UK for five years according to OECD quarterly GDP. I don’t trust ANY of these mouthpieces

The UK does need to be tighter within NATO, and a free trade relationship with the EU is beneficial to both parties. We don’t need Schengen, the EUCHR, restrictions from trading outside the EU, or a blue flag with gold stars. That’s called Federal absorption.

You know how far gone we are culturally when signs like this appear, this week, in the toilets of a small town in Lancashire.

BREAKING NEWS Donald Trump has nominated his super sycophantic Howard Lutnick as a candidate to succeed Zelensky as Ukraine President! His pal Putin will guarantee language lessons, citizenship, and the voting manipulation to guarantee him a win. The 51st state is a done deal!

The Democrats kept Biden in power after his health made him a laughing stock. His unelected inner circle governed. Trump is now the same, and the Republicans are behaving similarly. Both have put party and political ambitions before their country. You’re doomed by avarice!

Not ONE response or critique from the Remain faction?

I’m signing off X. It seems full of needy/greedy people desperate for likes and followers, usually reposting scandal or spurious or malicious posts for the brain dead feeding frenzy. All politicians are sound biting popular opinion while doing nothing. It’s frivolous, useless!

America, a great nation should never settle for lesser leaders. Every POTUS is temporary, your reputation is not. Wake up. Your standards built a nation; don’t lower them for any politician. The presidency should raise the nation, not diminish it. History is watching.

Why is the UK State Pension always a political hot potato? Let’s turn the heat down! Set pensions at the average of similar developed countries. A % of average earnings (OECD/G7 ave). Review yearly and adjust to maintain parity. No triple lock, or hot potato, and sustainable!

I exercised my sovereign right Not to vote that fateful night. I stayed at home. I chose to wait. And others chose the nation’s fate. 1)

Just in case I do forget I must live with my regret Outside the tent and looking in Watched Labour rise, a wicked sin A mandate gained from votes abstained All hell let loose, and no-one gained The EU smiling, arms held out Referendum turned about

More lies from Remain. Brexit is not failing in either annual GDP growth or total growth since we left. OBR data confirms among the big 5 we were 3rd in 2015, joint 2nd with France in 2024, and 1st in 2021 post-Covid. Is Germany the new Greece? If so, the EU needs our money!

I supported Brexit to stop increasing EU overreach. But with US unpredictability and Russian threats are we stronger alone, or was that a peacetime luxury? Years of decline in our military has also exposed us. Should it now change how closely we should be working with EU?

The masses call, elites they falter Lambs they needed upon the altar But just like sheep, they fear the leopard Even more, they fear the Shepherd Threats to front, and threats behind Through lack of care in all mankind
