Dignity, freedom, respect, equality and rule of law.  These ideas motivate the European Union project and are universally relevant, summarising the best aspirations of humanity across the globe. In contrast, the UK's Brexiteering politicians incited fear and hatred to get what they wanted. The Brexit crucible has produced many examples of the ...

We remainers have real challenges.  Ever since May proclaimed that Brexit means Brexit, the grand narrative of politicians has sought to ignore or dismiss us. And having got what he wanted, Johnson now urges us all to unite behind him, thereby putting responsibility on us for healing the rift that he - more than any other - exploited and ...

(Edit, 14/12/2019. They won, with circa 43% of the vote, so now the minority will inflict these impacts on the majority. If our experience talking to online leave voters is a guide, then those who voted for these impacts, are largely not aware of these impacts) Most political parties seem capable of deliberately misleading us, but th...

Brexit scandals aren't being well covered in the press but it's crucial that UK people know what's going on, so here's a succinct summary with links to more information.   We understand the referendum better now Leave campaigns didn't bother trying to tell us what would happen after a leave vote (because that problem was " insuperable ", it wo...

...why don't the people know what Brexit is?  We've been talking to people about Brexit for over a year and the majority say things like "I don't know what's happening" or "[the politicians] don't tell us what it all means" whilst talking to those who still advocate leaving produces these sort of statements:  ​ "We're leaving for our econ...

The best analogy we can find for the next election is of choosing contemporary Britain's mode of execution: disembowelled by Brexit, and ready for the coup de grace, which executioner will you vote for?  For many it will be an impossible choice. Tory and Labour have designed their own Brexit (not ours) and are striving to force it through...

1.  Since 200 BC the majority of humans have lived in some from of political aggregation of nations under a shared system of rules (affiliate source:  Sapiens by Y.Harari). Most of these have taken the form of Empires which made European nations rich (on seriously favourable trade terms), but were usually implemented via conquest, en...

The evidence is very clear: it is not currently possible to be both pro-Labour and pro-EU.  This article will have a quick look at the relevant evidence (which shows that logically, Labour should be viewed as the Tory's collaborator on Brexit) and will then consider what actions by citizens could help to save the UK from her pol...

Open letter to UK Members of Parliament Dear Member of Parliament (MP) Many 'interested' individuals and organisations are busy running interference on Brexit, deploying smoke and mirrors to try to ensure they get what they want, apparently at any cost, resulting in a divided and confused population. But the basic facts are very clear; we already k...

The common criticism of leave voters - that they've not been blessed with huge intellects basically - logically requires a scenario wherein some honest politician said to them before the referendum: " There is no Brexit benefit for you, but some of the elite will get a lot richer by feeding off the ruins of the UK's public sector, some of them will...

 A few people still believe that the UK politicians (in their efforts to leave the EU) are implementing the will of the people but the evidence suggests exactly the contrary.  It's about time this was cleared up, so here's a logical exercise which should provide the definitive answer. The suggestion is that the UK's political leaders are ...

The UK economy and society have well know and long standing challenges which threaten the health, wealth and well being of UK citizens.  Climate Change is possibly the most destructive rising force but there's also the challenges raised by the current technological revolution (necessitating business evolution to avoid business extinctions...

Before the UK's EU referendum vote, the pro-remain half of the UK government sent a leaflet out to homes which made the case for remaining. (There is a pdf of it  here ) It was not well received by the Euro-sceptic press or leave advocates. For example, the Daily Express, quoting Nigel Farage, ran the headline "How to return you...

In 2016, as the dust settled from the UK's surprise referendum vote to leave the EU, the Tory government assembled a new cabinet who announced that the referendum showed "The Will of the People" and therefore the delivery of Brexit must be regarded as an almost religious duty; the Tory papers joined in and promulgated this idea (democracy...
