Farage Agogo

Can Mr. Farage be trusted at this seminal moment in EU Continuum?

One could easily be tagged an afficionado of sour grapes, for even suggesting this. But the real facts point to the absurdity of elevating someone with "psychopathic tendencies" to trample rough-shod over sensibilities, at such a seminal moment in the history of our Anglo-Saxon Nation State. This attempt by Mr. Farage to spearhead Brexit in harness with Britain in Business. Can do no more than diminish the fine credentials of the 'Britain in Business' leadership. Previously known to exit stage right at warp speed, with any mention of political activism.

 It has often been said that we Anglo-Saxons prefer to muddle through, until we find a way to cobble together some degree of progress, in our own inimitable best interest.  Can we do it this time, when our elected P.M., is an avowed Europhile? Determinedly seeking a way to remain at the heart of this flawed experiment, for all the wrong reasons?  In consequence therefore we have to examine all the arguments for and against with searching candour, in reaching a definitive decision. A decision about to influence our future prospects, in ways no one is capable of predicting - with any degree of certainty.

 The movement to open up membership of the European Union to all the basket case economies of Europe and beyond, has turned out to be a master stroke in ambiguity. Promoted by the Margaret Thatcher Government, it was actively pursued by Douglas Hurd, in his capacity as Foreign Secretary. Though whether this was a sponsored initiative, fully-backed by the Iron Lady, is open to scrutiny. When almost immediately, she faced a growing attempt to oust her by her own Europhile MPs. Like John Major who came under pressure too, from those he was wont to refer to as  the 'Bastards'. To the extent that he too was moved to declare: 'Back me or  Sack me'.

 So there we have it, or do we? Did Douglas Hurd intentionally; with Maggie's consent? Attempt to throw a spanner in the works, knowing full well; that by inviting all these Basket Case Economies into the fold, knowingly create a situation entirely dependent on Social Transfers for continuum. A situation which at some future date would begin to self-implode?

 It is now self-evident that such a process is playing-out, as the only solution that was ever going to work in parallel with this idea of:- a place for all? Had to be either some arrangement to prop up these Basket Case Economies with handouts, or if this didn't work out. They had to come up with a new way to print money. Something that now goes by a quaintly misleading technicality - Quantitative Easing or QE

 QE is no more that a recipe for eventual self-implosion. When the day arrives that !st and 2nd class memberships have to be negotiated, to keep the dream alive or nations no longer prepared to support this situation. Go their separate ways and QE has to be unwound.

 So the time is here and now, it has arrived and the decision of Anglo-Saxon England the heartland of this other great Federal State of Europe, the United Kingdom. Now faces another self-implosion. Devolution is high on the agenda, as the UK has about to run its course, in much the same way. With satellite governments in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland dependent on handouts for lifestyle.  So decision time is upon us and it's no time to be led by those with 'psychopathic-tendencies' or hidden agendas for self-preservation. When such matters, take priority over what is best for Anglo-Saxon Plc.

 Do we fight to stand or fall on our own feet, as a United Entity following our own unique Anglo-Saxon way of doing business? Making our own laws and trading the world in the manner of our Victorian forefathers? Those who built the Greatest Empire the world has ever known. Or do we spend another generation in penury, awaiting the inevitable disintegration of this flawed EU experiment and devolution of our own Federal United Kingdom Nation State when dead beats in Scotland, think it's better for them to be an EU basket case?

 This is a situation now facing Anglo-Saxon England on all fronts, as we muddle through in our own unique and time-honoured fashion. Exposed to the harsh light of day with a disaster in the making, as another 'Highland Charge' heads our way. From a part of the UK Nation State trying to punch above its weight, led by a 'Bunch of Plonkers' dubbed the SNP.

I can do and say  (nay more) to help a bit of common Anglo-Saxon sense prevail; than re-iterate the words of probably our greatest general of all time. The one and only Arthur Wellesley better known as the Iron Duke, the Duke of Wellington who explained: 

"They came at us in the same old way and 

we beat them off in the same old way."

Yours truly
