Is Russell Brand really a Conspiracy Theorist, or he just rattling the bars of gilded cages using some very uncomfortable truths?

I’m no great fan of Russell Brand. I did go to one of his gigs in Birmingham about 15 years ago and quickly realised that his material, back then, was very much all about him.

The content has certainly changed today. But he’s still ridiculously grandiloquent and speaks just a little bit quickly. However, he certainly shines the spotlight in a very different direction, and in a very different way too.

The point for me at least, is you don’t have to like someone, find them entertaining, or even agree with them on everything – when they are speaking messages that we arguably all need to hear. Especially so, when it has become alarmingly clear that not nearly enough of us have already heard them before.

Russell has been getting a hammering from members of the establishment media that include a number of those names and voices that used to champion his words, attitude and approach, from the so-called progressive left.

His move away from socialist-based revolutionism and all the things that go with it, to calling out the manipulation, controlling behaviour and corruption within the media – particularly in the United States – has met with derision and the apparently timely classification of being a Conspiracy Theorist, then being added to the pool of such well-known alumni as David Icke.

The difference is of course striking to anyone with ears to listen. For instance, Icke has been notorious for destroying the value of any sensible part of his proposals and arguments, just through suggestion that the elites are all, or are led by lizards who either shape-shift, or are better than Madam Tussauds at creating their disguise.

Meanwhile, Russell has well over a 6-Million subscriber following to his YouTube Channel alone – and that doesn’t include the many viewers like I am, who regularly dip a toe into programming like his, but don’t sign up to any channel that will either group us in or make our presence publicly known.

In a world where many using social media and the internet have committed themselves to the fallacy that whoever has the most followers, likes and shares has already won, it would be very easy to right off journalistic spite as jealousy from writers and pundits who could only dream of achieving such numbers – all without having the self-awareness to at least study the real reasons for the comparative result.

Regrettably, the genuine reasons for this bad blood are more deeply ingrained and in this sense, perhaps just a little more sinister.

For like most of the problems we are facing, that the media and establishment do everything they can to avoid today, there is a lot more than just a small dollop of human nature involved in the cause.

Those who have most to lose from change will always be the last to embrace it.

So when it comes to the collapse of a system that values money, wealth, power and influence above all things, the reality we all face is that those who are fully invested in what this dying way of life continues to give them, will use and abuse the platforms they have to discredit anyone or anything that contradicts or could be seen as being a threat to everything they value continuing in any way.

Russell Brand certainly isn’t right about everything. But whilst it certainly appears that the remnants of some messiah complex still exist, he does at least now have the humility to admit that he still has much to learn, and that no matter our respective views, we all need to relearn how to discuss problems like adults, whilst bearing in mind that we are all in exactly the same room.

Sadly and most regrettably for us all, those who remain in power and positions of influence to not recognise the power in such values.

They will continue to attack and destroy those who they see as being against them and maintain that they are both in control and right about everything, until the very moment that they finally realise that they are not.

You aren’t going mad. Nothing makes sense to the silent majority either. We are all being gaslighted by those with their hands in the till

As individuals looking out on the world as it is today, it is all too easy to believe that it is only us – and the few people around us we talk to – who see everything that is wrong in the world around us. It is easy to think we are alone when it comes to questioning the narratives and stories of injustice that we continually hear.

What we all need to realise and understand, is this is a very long way from being the case.

It is the way that the world currently works around us that has led to our view of the world and the perceptions that we have of it leading us to see things this way.

We are surrounded by a constant flow of information, coming at us from each and every direction in this information technology age.

Like an abusive partner, It tells us and then repeatedly confirms to us – that the narratives which override our own common sense and what our instincts tell us are what we should believe.

This is how propaganda, false narratives, half truths and outright lies are able to thrive, continue to exist and become the accepted truth.

But Bullshit really does have its own sound.

The sources and perpetrators of the lies that have made life so unbearable for so many, in so many different ways – whilst all the time suggesting that we are alone and the only ones who think that way or even worse  – are in the process of being uncovered and shown to us all for what they really are.

Keep watching, and you will soon see.

Good Politicians MUST be Judged by the results of their actions. NOT by their words, what they appear to do, or how they might look

It is easy to see why Political Parties now fall over themselves to secure Candidates for Elections who already have a name, such as celebrities or people who have for some reason been publicly recognised as a champion of some specific cause or in some other way.

‘They are this’, ‘They are that’, are the words or the thinking that accompanies the thought processes of today’s Politicians and Political Parties when they select and appoint their Candidates – often for ‘Seats’ that they already consider to be theirs to allocate and that they therefore ‘Own’.

What the Political Parties today don’t think or worry about, is what the Politicians they effectively appoint would actually do, or indeed, what they have actually already done.

Words are just words. Whether spoken, written or even typed up or presented to the public through a screen, on a page or through a public meeting somewhere.

If we really want an idea of what any Politician can offer us or what they will bring, we must think differently about the way that they have been appointed, and the pathway that has delivered them into a publicly representative role.

What politicians have already done, rather than what it looks like what they have done or what they or someone else tell us they have done, is the best indication of what they will do.

Real research doesn’t stop at a title or at a headline. It takes time. But when one person must be trusted to think, behave and act Consciously for so many, it is essential that we too made that selection Consciously and being Conscious of all the facts and realities that underpin who they really are. Not how they or anyone else would like us to think.

People will always tell you who they are. They will also do so very quickly, as long as you make the effort to hear as well as listen.

Noise isn’t action. Just because a problem is talked about by Politicians or in the Media, it doesn’t mean anything is being done

Because of the way that media, social media, the internet and the dissemination of information works today, our attention is all too easily distracted and diverted away from many of the things that we should really have much greater care for.

Meanwhile, the way that we have become conditioned to interact with the flow of information coming at us from the world outside of us or outside of our life bubbles also has the ability to additional weight to events and to the influence of celebrity and people with public platforms in a disproportionate and therefore highly misleading way.

Regrettably, this has become an ingrained cultural problem to the point where many people believe that it is normal.

In respect of the issues that we really should be considering as important to us personally as well as communally, the result is that unless we are actually looking properly and not taking everything as read or at face value, we are missing the news, or when it reaches us, it comes with a wrapping of opinion that far exceeds its genuine value.

Unfortunately, we easily fall into the trap of believing that what we don’t hear about or what we don’t see doesn’t matter, and take for granted that when we do hear about anything, the fact that the information has come to us in some way means that solutions are already being found and that whatever is necessary is already being done.

Sadly, for all of us, this simply isn’t the case.

There is no new world order conspiracy. There is just what the elites are confident they can get us to believe and do

A lot of people are very nervous about the things we are hearing from the WEF. Let’s face it, after the very strange experience that we have all shared over the past 2 or more years, logic hasn’t appeared to be present in any overwhelming force. A lot has happened that there simply doesn’t seem to be any explanation for.

However, whilst many of us are convinced that there is some great conspiracy underway, that Covid and every part of the response to it was orchestrated and part of some ‘grand plan’ to create a new dystopian New World Order, the real truth of that matter is that our deference is being given and credibility is being awarded to the elites because of the role that they appear to be playing in all of this.

None of the respect given or fear we have of any of these people who eat, shit, breathe and think just as we do, is based on what they are actually doing or have the ability to do.

A new age based on speaking the truth

Whilst there are many problems that are being caused by the impact and reach of social media, the availability of information and the evolution of how it is affecting life is a process that politicians are unable to control.

The example of Vladimir Putin’s attempts to tell the West that the bombing of Ukraine was fake news being the case in point.

No matter how hard any controlling politician tries, they will not prevent the dissemination of information within audiences that they wish to control.

Ironically, whilst fake news – or what in mainstream media terms is the publishing of opinion that we are then told is news – is causing governments around the world all sorts of problems, the end destination of what we are witnessing will be a new reality for truth and openness. One where leaders will only be able to function by telling is the truth, as the sheer weight of numbers of information sources will make it impossible for them to do otherwise.

‘Bullshit has its own sound’

Of course, as individuals looking out on the world as it is today, we can too easily be led to believe that it is only us – and strange as it may seem, the few people around us that we care to talk to – who see everything that is wrong in the world around us and with the narratives that we continually hear.

What I can tell you now, is that this is a very long way from being the case. It is only the way that we are surrounded by a flow of information, coming at us from each and every direction in the information technology age – that tells us and then repeatedly confirms to us – that the narratives which override our own common sense and what our instincts tell us – are able to thrive and continue to exist.

Bullshit really does have its own sound, and the sources and perpetrators of the lies that have made life so unbearable for many, in so many different ways, – whilst suggesting that we are the only ones who think that way or even worse, that we are actually alone – are in the process of being uncovered and shown to us all for what they really are.

Opinion, Fake News, Spin and the role of the Media

The incompetence of our politicians would not have been the success that it has been, without the media having had the role it has and having been there to tell us that it is so.

So little of the news that we see and hear on so-called mainstream channels and stations is actually news, that propaganda should really be switched with news as the recognisable term for all that well known current-affairs mediums actually do.

Whether it is the agendas of the owners or political masters of the channels and platforms that set directional agendas, or just the personal motives and the experience of life that drives then journalists and presenters themselves, the reality that we face is that opinion and news have long since become a wholly interchangeable term.

The irony is that the opinion which is probably as much as 90% if not more of what the content of mainstream news and current affairs commentary really now consists of, is in reality a sanctioned or legitimised flow of fake news.

The only thing that makes mainstream sources any different to the content which comes from YouTubers, TikTokkers and social media commentators who are attempting to share helpful programming – other than the fact that the 10% news is even less that the alternative – is the fact that the programming is seen as reliable BECAUSE it is the mainstream.

Wake up call: Chesham & Amersham shows us that ALL these political parties can be beaten, whilst reminding us they are fundamentally the same

Perhaps the biggest problem that exists in and because of the media age, is the perceived need on the part of those who see themselves as having a platform, to keep talking at their followers, even when for the majority of time their text, comments and conversation have the residual value of hot, rancid air.

In an age where critical thinking is at a premium, simply because what should be a media age life skill isn’t taught in schools, the vacuous bullshit that is constantly presented as an authority view certainly plays with the minds of the vulnerable. There’s as much of it as there is grass and when it exists at every turn what is there not to believe?

This isn’t just about the ‘woke enlightenment’. The oft unconscious and hollow philosophy that opinion supersedes fact dwells omnipresent amongst the realms of the mainstream pundits. The very same commentators and pollsters who have this week been falling over themselves to outdo each other with their predictions for the fate of the Conservative Party, based purely on their ‘loss’ of the Chesham & Amersham parliamentary seat to the Liberal Democrats in talk of red and blue walls.

The suggestion that this By Election result can foretell what will happen next is both laughable and dangerous. Both the political class and the commentariat facilitating them is completely divorced from reality.

Normal people are far too busy trying to make the best of lives that this system of Government and the stupidity that drives it to focus on what the politicians really do. The establishment has turned living for many into nothing less than a life, death or penury-inducing obstacle course, where the temptation of escape by committing crime is thrown in just to pile the pressure on a population which is being set up to fail by its leaders. There simply isn’t the time, nor the motive to even attempt to appreciate just how little the establishment really understands about real life, what real inequality looks like and how an inept political class fuels it to exist.

The devil is quite literally in the detail and the amount of detail that ‘experts’ and ‘specialists’ are throw at us. They call it ‘science’, but science is itself only as up to date and reliable as accepted contemporary thought.

The pundit-induced complexity of the result in Chesham & Amersham, the voting swing and the shock of the result makes it all seem very real. Yet all this result proves is that even the safest of parliamentary seats can be lost, depending only upon what the people of that constituency feel and think on the day when the polls are open and electors consider how or if they will even vote.

People will always vote through the lens of their own experience, whether they are looking outward to the world or inward towards their own bubble when they do so. Whilst the political class may do everything in its power to manipulate what the people outside of the Westminster bubble see and understand, politicians have little or no control over anything the public thinks. It is more often than not little more than a happy coincidence that with the creation of so many different narratives, there will be a glimmer of truth somewhere amongst them that resonates with real life and the base fears that drive it in some way close enough way to give one set of politicians the edge over what any of the others say or do.

It would be easy to throw political and electoral history on to the table and present it as conclusive evidence that the thoughts of people can be controlled even when they don’t want to be controlled. Yet the truth is that ‘it’s not what you say, it’s what people hear’ and even the lowliest pleb or member of the lowest classes that the establishment look down upon has the capacity and ability as an elector to choose based on what they know about the world and how they see it.

Whilst they may be glad-handing themselves, knocking elbows and smashing down toy walls made of blue bricks to celebrate ‘their’ success, the Liberal Democrats are not offering anything different to the Conservatives or any of the other current selection of Political Parties that they want to replace. But the different wrapping and their way of speaking was different enough to look like an alternative when it came to last Thursday when it was time for the people who really matter in Chesham & Amersham to make their choice.

For lockdown sceptics and the increasing number amongst us all who are aware that the real fallout from the last 18 months is yet to hit us from what this whole political class have done, the Chesham & Amersham result should be taken as evidence that with the right approach, motivation and support, the next general election result is by no means in anyway certain. A genuine alternative to the political clowns that we have in charge now would gain the support of the wider electorate very quickly. And if it did so, after the next General Election, it would have the ability to turn all of this mess around.

Regrettably many people think that change is as simple as changing other people’s minds about what they think. Yet the Chesham & Amersham By Election result is a textbook example that shows this is all the current crop of out-of-touch politicians does.

People want to live and experience their own truth. Not one created only to benefit others. All an alternative party or group needs to do to be taken seriously is focus on shining the light of truth across enough areas of life to create the emotional feeling that is commonality and a shared purpose. One that makes sense of what’s happened but dares to inspire a belief that things can be better only by embracing change at a personal, community and national level. The workable and considerate alternative to what we have now and will continue to receive from all of these Political Parties based on the mantra that life is too complex for normal people to be trusted to understand,  that politicians are the only adults, what’s best for them is best for everyone, and that it is not only ok but now necessary for them to use fear as the way to remain in control.

War would have been less damaging to our Country than the Government’s response to Coronavirus because people would at least still want to live

As a regular walker, I am now used to the process of getting to know the people I meet regularly. Smiles become hellos. Hellos become a moment sharing the time of day or a view. Sharing a view becomes a discussion on a life and experience that you would never otherwise have known about.

One such series of encounters led me to become familiar with one old guy in the Village where I live, and as he regaled me with stories of the nights that he and his brother would catch a train from Gloucester to attend dances in the Village pub, it wasn’t the romantic idea of steam and a train station lost under the Beaching Act that captured my imagination the most. It was his memory of the time in the years after the Second World War when he said ‘We were glad to be alive’.

This was a conversation that came before Coronavirus and it did of course stir my thoughts on the entitlement and ‘take everything for granted’ culture that has been so prevalent, where young people don’t want to become Police Officers because they don’t like working nights, and soldiers are more likely to be experts at protesting the technicalities of their human rights after capture on a battlefield rather than pick up a heavy gun and fight and avoid being caught.

Yet since the Government’s response to Coronavirus began, what started as concern has been replaced with the utter disbelief that in only six months of a Conservative Government handling a ‘peacetime’ national crisis, people have been deliberately manipulated and conditioned so effectively that they are now afraid to live.

What is clear is the Government’s response to Coronavirus has been more damaging psychologically to the minds and thinking of British People and our national psyche than our direct involvement in a war would be.

In the 1940’s Blitz, as bombs dropped, neighbours and friends died, and houses, pubs and schools were completely destroyed, people still wanted – and were prepared – to go about their daily business in as normal way as possible. They looked each and every day in the eye and wanted to rebuild and rejuvenate the world around them so they could grasp everything and every opportunity that was there to be enjoyed.

Death was a regular visitor. But death was never inevitable for as long as people respected and worked on the basis that we were in in together.

Yet today, as we supposedly fight disproportionately against a cold like virus that the Government itself fears more than it understands, we are being forced to believe that by being together at any time, our early death is inevitable, whilst death itself is not present amongst us in any way that is different to what would be the seasonal norm.

What the hell have our politicians done?

How did they do it?

Why did they do it?

What does it tell us about the World to come?

Whilst fear makes the world turn at some level for everyone, many do not possess the awareness either to accept or to understand this.

Fear is the power that drives everything in this world at the deepest, most intrinsic level. And if the fear button is incorrectly and deliberately pushed, fear can do untold harm to anyone and everyone, no matter how rational they might believe or understand themselves to be.

If you have access to Netflix, you may have taken the 90 minutes or so to watch ‘The Social Dilemma’ which is a very recent release. It is certainly worth a view as it puts in perspective the harm that can be done and the consequences for us all when people’s minds are played with in the pursuit of profit when the only thing intended (and considered) by the Social Media platform is a fee-paying result.

The cultural use of Facebook, Twitter and just about every social media platform you can think of is having an adverse effect of some kind on all of our upcoming generations. And this is what happens when there isn’t the use of fear involved.

Flip the coin of behavioural control to its other side and you will find the pseudo science of Behavioural Economics or ‘nudging’ in order to achieve specific outcomes with people.

It’s what unscrupulous politicians who are only worried about controlling people would see as the easy way to ‘get things done’.

Social Media is filling up with discussion groups focusing on what is little more than a drive to change people’s behaviour without those same people being conscious that they are being influenced and changing the way they behave in any way.

It’s been a growth industry in recent years with No10 even having its own Behavioural Insights Team.

It was these guys who were called on when the Coronavirus Pandemic kicked into full swing and the Johnson Government – forever committed to controlling the agenda – decided that it was time to use their mind manipulation unit to get the whole population, rather than the virus, under control.

What the impact of Social Media on young minds, Behavioural Economics (or Insights) and Boris’ Lockdown behavioural controls on us all have in common, is they have a defined and measurable purpose. But the consequences or side effects of the actions taken are also not being given a second thought.

It’s a bit like the stories that you may have heard about live theatre shows where a well-known performer conducts hypnosis on members of the audience to get them to do things like barking like a dog or pretending to be something that they are not, whilst all the time they are ‘under’ and not aware of what they have done. Just as the hypnotiser can programme the person being hypnotised to do something with a trigger word at a future time, they can also be sewing all sorts of damage to the individuals mental health which can impact heavily upon their life to come.

The objective of the Government’s mind games at the beginning of the Lockdown, was control of the population. The method of hypnosis that they used was fear. The intended result was a population that would do what it was told wherever the words Covid-19 or Coronavirus were involved. The unforeseen consequence and the damage done is that people are now too afraid to live.

Whilst Lockdown and Social Distancing Measures of any kind continue to exist, it will be all but impossible to snap anyone out of the mind-meld that the Government has created, as continuation of these measures in any form will give legitimacy to lie that a real population-wide threat from Coronavirus continues to exist.

We are literally in the situation that until a responsible Government or Political Leader stands up and says this was all a crock of shit and that Coronavirus is just another illness that has to be treated and addressed quietly and without fuss just like everything else, this Government-inflicted malaise will continue and it will continue at rabid pace.

As we don’t have such worthy politicians in Westminster today, we are in effect staring into a void where none of the damage done can be reversed.

The damage was avoidable and should have been avoided. But this is what happens when irresponsible politicians get their hands-on irresponsible toys.

Whilst the political classes complain of the risk to their idea of democracy from fake news, it is the very same susceptibility to misinformation that people have that makes everyone vulnerable to what politicians have themselves done, just so they could retain the control they believed they had.

Any form of manipulation conducted deliberately will have wider and unknown consequences. Its use is therefore wrong.

Profit or control. The aim simply doesn’t matter. The cost is simply too high for the lives of those People involved.

As we go forward and we leave the days of this kind of government behind, this misuse of power and the roll out of this 21st Century ‘dark art’ must be regulated and kept under strict control.

The Lockdown measures have taken beneficial ‘nudging’ like the fly stickers in the urinals of Amsterdam Schiphol Airport to a nefarious extreme. The ability to manipulate minds in this way is simply too much responsibility for politicians and business people without scruples to have.

“Look everyone, we are testing a Vaccine” = Shut up and accept everything we tell you like the ignorant children you are

img_5688

As I watch each and every attempt that the Government makes to convince us that it is in control of the Coronavirus emergency, it becomes clearer and clearer how much they really are not.

In fact, in their attempt to manage this emergency with white elephants like the Nightingale Hospitalsand stunts like the Lockdown and the financial support measures that they followed it with, they have created a complete circus of acts that are damaging the wellbeing of the UK audience daily. Worryingly for us all, they are far from being finished yet.

Believing your own hype when you are in a position of responsibility is a very dangerous thing. These are people who as elected representatives really should know when to stop digging the hole.

But they don’t. And just as things are starting to really become awkward for the Government – as the support for their propaganda to ‘protect the NHS’ diminishes and starts to wear thin – people are starting to see the Lockdown for what it really is. Others are becoming increasingly aware that there really is no structured or coherent plan or strategy in place, and the Government is now falling back on the establishments political playbook to try and regain some semblance of control.

Whilst there is no doubt that the day will come when a vaccine for Coronavirus will be found, we simply have no idea when that day will actually be. There is no test of antibodies available for us either and at present, the Government is only succeeding at completing less than 20,000 tests to confirm that patients have the Virus on any one day when they promised that they would be past the 100,000 mark only a week from now..

Yet all of a sudden, we are being told by the Health Secretary that trials of a Vaccine will begin within days. There are even adverts and links for volunteers to sign up via links on Twitter and get paid.

So let’s pause for a moment and take a breath.

***

Before I say any more, could I ask you how that prospect makes you feel?

***

The chances are that your concerns, frustrations and the questions or demands that you have not yet verbalised loudly about Coronavirus and how the Lockdown is affecting you and the people around you will suddenly have been reframed.

After all, why would you want to rock the boat, moan about anything that the Government is doing or demand that the Lockdown be stopped if the whole thing is already coming to an end?

Regrettably, the Lockdown isn’t coming to an end as it should. But making you think that it now is? – well that’s what a big announcement about Vaccine Testing is surely supposed to do.

Even if the Scientists have already found a Vaccine that has the potential to work, the time it will now take to test it, to be sure it is safe and then to mass produce it so that everyone could be vaccinated against COVID-19 – that’s just the UK – is likely to take many months at least.

Whilst to some in the Government the idea that the whole Country can be kept at a standstill until at least the Autumn might seem plausible. But the true cost of even trying to maintain the Lockdown for a fraction of that time will be so large – not just in economic terms, but the real life issues that it will create for many more than it will ever save – it simply doesn’t even bare thinking about.

We have a Government that is afraid to lead as it should. These Politicians would rather attempt to manipulate and coerce us all into playing along with their weak-minded plans  in the hope that the British People will consent to them remaining in power, simply by going along with whatever it is that they decide to do – however appallingly wrong and damaging it might be.

Politicians are literally playing us all right now by appealing to our better nature, at a time when they should be being honest and straightforward with everyone about how out of their depth they really are. They could be genuine in their aims and outlook – just the same.

The politicians, their advisers, the scientists, the economists, all of them have no historic records, anecdotes, statistics, or other sources of information about a COVID-19 emergency in 2020 UK that tells them what they should or even could do.

This isn’t just about a virus. It’s about everyday life and the different things that are important to us all. Our way of life as a Country. How we do business. How we earn money. What we do to function and to survive.

Yet to hear any one of the Politicians talking, this is all and has ever only been about the medical aspects of the Coronavirus emergency.

It is not. It never was.

Because they have treated it this way, the Government has taken a medical emergency for anyone unfortunate enough to catch Coronavirus and turned it into a life crisis for us all.

There was a different way available to the Government at the start.

There has been a different way available to the Government for all the time since.

There is a different way available to the Government now.

It’s called leadership and it doesn’t involve treating us all like we are kids.

 

Rename Remain ‘informed consent’ or anything else you’d like to try to overturn Brexit. The democratic decision to Leave has not yet been delivered and that’s the truth your obfuscation can never deny

Culturally, perhaps one of our worst pastimes of the day is the habit of trying to make everyone else wrong.

Whilst the clearest manifestation of this behavioural menace is that of the blame culture, it is the adoption of this approach as the standard tactic by Remainers in their continuing efforts to overturn Brexit where its presence is most clearly and most dangerously felt.

I have met and spoken at length with many people and friends who are Remainers. Individuals and professionals who are intelligent, sensible and have the wherewithal to steer their way through the day-to-day minefield which is the voter end of the political spectrum – just as long as the politicians are being honest and the truth isn’t actually being denied.

What They all have in common is that none of them have been able to provide genuine reason for Remaining a Member of the EU other than some form of personal advantage, such as banking or what their employer does, or it simply being most often the case that they hate notified change and they want to maintain the status quo.

It is clear that the vitriol which drives the Remain faction is based upon a sense of loss of control, the sense of personal cost or just the sense from fear of change.

There is nothing tangible about benefits to the wider community, the interests of anyone beyond those they care about or the surfacing of any argument which indicates that Remaining a Member of the EU is a genuine solution to all the ills around us – it being the case that since June 2016, this is what we have been repeatedly told.

So it is the media support and manipulation through communication and the disingenuous behaviour of our Politicians which form the basis of this sell-out of our Sovereignty to an accumulation of different foreign shores. And when there is no real substance to anything that they are telling us or even saying, it comes as little wonder that so many of their messages and soundbites are so freely susceptible to change.

The big problem with all of this is that Leaving the EU properly offers UK People and Businesses a clearly discernible difference to everything that we have for over 40 years experienced and to that which we are still being drip-fed and directly told.

But a real Brexit as yet hasn’t been delivered. This despite the fact that the objective was set in stone as a democratic instruction. It was given by the People, by a majority and in direct response to the binary choice which was binding – as the same Politicians who are now trying to commit us to the EU, convinced us before that historic European Referendum and underlined their very clearly in bold.

So no matter how much effort is spent on trying to repackage the same old story, it is clear that the same old lack of substance Remains.

This whole plan is still about selling out the UK to a foreign power. One driven by an autocracy that wants to use the UK as a resource for nothing more than its own empire building, doesn’t care about democracy in the UK or the people or businesses within it. Yet it will do everything within its power to sell the idea that we cannot live without the influence and control of 27 other countries and that Remaining is the only way that we can ever be safe, secure and feel prosperous, when the truth is quite the opposite.

Put in the words of one of the World’s most influential statesman, ‘You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time*’.

So go ahead. Rename Remain ‘informed consent’ or anything else you’d like to try to overturn Brexit.

The democratic decision to Leave has not yet been delivered and that’s the truth your obfuscation can never deny.
