[The] problems started way back when the Brexiteers behind the official Vote Leave campaign very deliberately decided that they should not put forward any specific plan for how this might be achieved. Their view was that, if any such strategy was proposed, this would only set off ferocious arguments with all those lobbying for alternative plans.
This was evident in a sneery e-mail which Dominic Cummings sent me in July 2015 in response to one of mine when I had argued that the official “no” campaign would need an exit plan.
Cummings by then was already aware of Flexcit, acknowledging that it was “unarguable” that it was “a very important document”, but we went on to say that he had to deal with “a physical reality” where “almost nobody agrees … about almost anything”.
Thus, it was not a question of the campaign failing to have a plan. The idea was deliberately rejected, an act of cowardice that had the main players ducking an issue that was inevitably going to rebound on us all, simply because the campaign wanted to avoid disagreement in its ranks.
The inevitable result of this act of cowardice – only offering voters a blank cheque as to what might happen next – was that it merely postponed the moment when precisely those arguments were bound to emerge. After the result, each of the rival groups could then claim that the referendum result supported whatever agenda they were putting forward.
h/t Adrian: “As I have said from the day of the referendum result any one that thought the elites would acquiesce to the will of the people was sadly mistaken. Its almost as if it was by design.”

For these people, the work required by economic freedom is unpalatable. They prefer to eat Belgium chocolate.
Everyone else can eat their ….
RINOs, Never Trumpers, Scheerers, all the same.
Yes. It appears that almost all politicians are cut from the same cloth. Thatchers, Reagans, Trumps, appear to be very rare.
Canada MAY have one in Bernier, but early to make that call.
Why should ROC be held to a Special Voting Group in order to maintain a Majority or even a Minority Government. Dependence on a Quebec resident or residents will only mean a different group of Laurentien Elite minions will be used.
If they had been serious, any patriotic Englishman could have come up with the appropriate plan.
1. Walk away.
2. Tell Comrade Erika to send her blasted divorce bill to George Soros.
3. Start preparing for another war with Germany. As a first step, start interning “EU citizens” as enemy aliens.
3b. Make clear to the globalist occupation government of southern Ireland (GOG) and its IRA friends that the right of the people of Ulster to remain in the union is sacred, and that the result of any attempt by GOG to conquer Ulster will be the overthrow of GOG, the liquidation of its leadership, and the re-unification of Ireland with the rest of the UK.
Wouldn’t intern the Poles, though. Those who managed to get to England were good fighters against the Germans. Would also tend to exempt the Slovaks, the Hungarians, and perhaps the Czechs.
North is about the only UK commentator who does facts and detail. The UK media haven’t a clue and what they report is mostly in terms of political personalities and their power squabbles.
North has been campaigning for the UK to leave the EU since way before the word “Brexit” existed. He wrote a book “The Great Deception” about how the EU actually works (recommended). He’s the only one who had an actual plan of how to leave without it becoming a train crash disaster and the plan has been determinedly ignored by the fools pretending to govern the UK.
The way it is looking now, the UK looks set either to crash out and burn with no deal or to be permanently shackled to the EU under a never-ending “transition” deal, subject to EU law, with no say but still paying. The greatest achievement of Prime Minister May is to have maneuvered the country into a position where the only options are much worse than the existing and to be hated by all sides equally.
truth and freedom, something that is becoming difficult to find.
