Parliament has declared war on the people. The war can only be ended if we leave the EU on 29 March with no Withdrawal Agreement.
The public has been very patient as 2 years 8 months have passed without fulfilling the promise to take control of our borders, our laws and our money. Parliament has endlessly re run the arguments of the referendum as if we had not done all that in the campaign and come to a decision. MPs against Brexit have been patronising or dismissive of Leave voters.
We need to leave to create an independent democracy in our islands. We did not vote leave to achieve some changes to our trading arrangements. We voted leave to govern ourselves, to throw off the yoke of Brussels government. We voted against the lies that had wrecked our economy in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. We voted against the stream of laws and taxes coming out of the EU that damage our prosperity. We voted out to confirm we do not want to join the Euro and enter their emerging political union.
We voted to take back control of our fishing grounds, to have a policy which is kinder to both our fish and our fishermen.
We voted to take back control of our taxes, so we can take VAT off female sanitary products, domestic fuel and green products, where today we cannot remove those taxes.
We voted to control our borders so we can have the same rules for EU as for non EU migrants.
We voted control to spend our own money on our own priorities. I want that Brexit bonus budget in April.
Above all we voted leave to be free again. It will be a crippling irony for our democracy if the people insist their Parliament takes back control, only to find Parliament refuses to do so. What part of Leave do Remain MPs not understand? Why do so many MPs want to stay in a puppet Parliament, whose laws are imitations of the EU ?
These Remain MPs are letting the people down badly. They blame the public for bravely choosing freedom. They lack any vision of the better future that beckons. Their pathetic whining of how our country will be worse if they take responsibility from the EU tells us more about their inadequacies than about the bold vision of the people.
