Probably similar to the often corrupt people we have here in our government. Vigilance is Key.
The UK is no longer ruled by the consent of the governed. It’s now a quasi-dictatorship that does what it wants regardless of what the people vote for and clearly state they want. England exists in name only.
Sad but if the USA lets the leftists win their socialism and open borders one world government battle; it too is done.
Well now at least some Brits know how we Scots felt when the clan purges began. The people dont matter. My clan left the UK.
Scots made a huge impact in the early days of the US.
I have Scot/Irish ancestors. (lots of other blood lines too)
agree. thanks
the Crown has had its knife out for the USA for 200 years.
Ultimately they were the power behind the attempted coup against PDJT
eternal vigilance.
The English deep state had a big hand in it.
Obozo played the game of having the English monitory things denied him by our own rules.
The Globalist Pukes in many nations are our enemy.
They want us all totally disarmed and enslaved.
They can pound sand.
look up 09/11/1814 if you can handle it!!
I had read so about it, but nothing indicating the real scope of it. thanks.

The final expulsion of the Brits from the shores of the USA
It has been called The Second War of American Independence
You might want to check out the following book. When Scotland was Jewish. It’s a mind blower. One out of every Scot. Amazing.
Thanks. will look.
Oops. One out of every 8 Scot may be Jewish. It explains a whole lot. For example, some of my clans weird standards. And why we fought and risked it all for the Stewart Kings.
It’s a representative democracy. A plebiscite (referendum) is a device of direct democracy. Trying tobolt a device of direct democracy on to a system based on representative democracy is always going to be messy.
Corbyn has always been anti-EU. Brexit was never a straightforward left/right matter. The right wing of Conservative and the left wing of Labour were always Europhobes, but for totally different reasons. Only the centrists in both parties were pro-EU.
Nothing in this contradicts the will of the people. The only vote in the referendum was that the UK should leave the EU. Not how. Not what the future relationship with the EU should be. Not on membership of the single European market or the customs union, or the many other connections with the EU which are distinct from EU membership. The people were never asked about these things: and it’s always been obvious the electorate has widely divergent views on all of them. It was always the job of government and parliament to resolve the many unasked questions.
The UK will leave the EU at the end of March next year, and the only wish which the electorate expressed in the referendum will be satisfied.
Thanks. I’ll take that into consideration.
One question though; do you think the spirit of Brexit is being upheld as the people believed it would be with their vote to leave the EU? They may not have asked because they felt certain points were implied. Of course in a court of law an implication may not fly so it needs to be spelled out clearly on paper (and in legalese).
Impossible question to answer, as ‘the people’ never had a single view of the matter - there was then, and is now, a very wide range of opinions and an equally wide range of expectations. Unfortunately also, the vote took place without any really reliable source of objective information about the facts of the British/EU relationship. Instead, all most voters had to go on was the propaganda of the two opposing campaigns, which were equally mendacious.
There’s no doubt that many votes were determined by gut feeling rather than logic (but then that’s true of any election). Even among intellectually articulate and convinced Brexiteers, you’ll find little agreement about what ‘the spirit of Brexit’, as you call it, actually means.
