Soon the UK will have to decide which way it wishes to go, to become a proud sovereign nation again substantially in charge of its own affairs or to carry on with the same old same old in the EU. This whole sorry affair has been going on since 1973 when the UK took a wrong turn and joined the then Common Market. The battle raged between implausible allies such as Enoch Powell and Tony Benn on the one side and Edward Heath and his supporters on the other. It was all made out to be a trade deal and the British people were hoodwinked into a fledgling political union. At the root of our relationship with the EU is deception.
Our relationship with the now EU started with a deception, for the British people were never, and deliberately never, told the truth about what they were getting into, for otherwise how would they have gone along with it? Therefore our relationship with the EU is built on a deception, the gate was opened when we threw our hat into the ring with the European juggernaut to a spirit of deception that has taken a grip on Westminster and hoodwinked the most battle hardened and experienced politicians in parliament. When we joined the Common Market a gateway was opened for a spirit of deception to come and reside in Westminster and to feed both the political elite and thence the British people with continuing deception of the highest order. This is why the British relationship with the EU will never prosper because it is built on a false foundation. The governing spirit over this nation is continually struggling with the spirit of control that emanates from Brussels and seeks to squeeze the UK into its mould.
The nature and character of that spirit is to be a bully, and in the next year or two that bully will try everything possible to keep the UK to its bosom and to prevent Brexit. Question is, will the British people see finally what is going on and say enough! There is always a spirit at work in Europe to control and subjugate. Down through history you can see that spirit at work through the Roman Empire, then through papal Christendom, then through Napoleon and more recently through Hitler and the Nazis. ‘ That spirit has morphed into something altogether different on this occasion, but it is the same spirit of control, and is particularly pertinent to the UK. That spirit is an ancient force that just changes its colours like a chameleon to suit the age. If it can use a religious guise, as in the days of papal dominion, then it will. The old papal hierarchy considered England to be ‘Mary’s dowry.’ If it can use military power, then it will, as with Napoleon or the Nazis. The forces at work to unite Europe and destroy the remaining liberty that England has enjoyed for so long are working overtime to subjugate the UK to that spirit of control that now works through economic and political strategies rather than military conquest. You could argue that Hitler is the indirect cause of the EU, what he failed to do by military power is being done in the name of trade and economics in a much more subtle way.
At this time the UK needs leadership of the highest quality that knows how to face down a bully head on. This is literally a David and Goliath battle but we are still looking for David. It is possible for present political leadership to find the wherewithal, people can change their tune. Every trick in the book will be used to scare the British people into voting to stay in this latent totalitarian state, and a steady nerve is called for. Some of the most insidious arguments will be to do with jobs and economics. Firms will threaten to pull out of the UK, the media will trumpet the potential loss of jobs and the effect on our bank balances, but this must be resisted. The British people must call their bluff. We have only been in the European project for 42 odd years, a mere pinprick in the incredible history of these islands. Time to break loose and control our own destiny again!
