Boris Johnson: to the victor the spoils

The Stick and the Carrot

Now that I am less mobile with age, I watch a fair amount of television. Since I have never been interested in or addicted to soaps, I have turned more and more to history, to ‘Yesterday’ and other programmes of that type. The buildings o...

The fiction of man-made global warming

There is absolutely no way that so-called greenhouse gas emissions can cause warming or generate heat. It is a fiction that is spread by such august bodies as the IPCC and promulgated by news channels like the BBC and CNN and is even taught to unsusp...

Shock and horror

Shock and horror is the reaction of the German people to the victory of Donald Trump.  In the U.K. also, with some people even going so far as to say, in private, that they felt physically sick at the result. Well, I am one Englishman who wis...

Brexit: A Matter of Principle

Brexit has always been a matter of principle. That is where David Cameron and his former chancellor, George Osborne, came unstuck.  They thought it was a matter of economy, of economics.  When I asked a friend of mine, who was a Remainiac, ...

The Red Herring of Article 50

What the heck is Article 50? You may well ask. It is a labyrinthine maze devised by the EU to deter members from leaving their grasp. It is a EU concept, it is an EU conjunct. It has nothing to do with us in Great Britain, for we have already declare...

The battle for Brexit is not over

The battle for Brexit is not quite over; it is not quite won.  And the reason is simple – many people still do not understand the fundamental issues.  It is not about the Single Market – it is not about the economy – it is...

Hell with Article 50! Brexit means Brexit!

Brexit means that the British people have already clearly signaled that we are no longer under EU law.  We are under British law as enacted at Westminster and promulgated by Royal Assent.  All these EU laws and directives have been declared...

'Project Fear' bites the dust

It is less than six weeks since Brexit was proclaimed on June 23, a historic date in the history of the United Kingdom.  How easily now do we forget the dire prophesies of the Remain campaign, since we have sailed serenely along since Brexit. ...

Brexit Now, Not in Two Years

Hey Mrs. May! Hey, Prime Minister!  What's going on?  You say Brexit means Brexit!  Thus far, so good.  You set up a team of Euro-skeptics, like Boris Johnson and David Davies and Liam Fox.  Well, that is great.  But...

Brexit means exit

Brexit means exit, nothing less.  Britain has voted by over 17 million votes to leave the domination of the EU, to be no longer be a satrapy of that union.  Article 50 was devised by the EU as a Gordian knot in order to prevent the ...

The real meaning of Brexit

On June 23, 2016, Great Britain voted to rule itself.  I have got to repeat that.  Britain voted to rule itself.  I have to repeat it even to myself.  The Remain camp wanted Great Britain to be ruled by 28 members of a secret...

Britain’s Parliament and British independence

I was up all night ’til 5:00 am before I finally went to bed for a couple of hours, the night of the Referendum.  Before I went to bed, it was already clear that Brexit had won, and when I returned to view in the morning, it was clear...

The EU is a Dictatorship that Britain Should Leave

There can be no ifs and buts about it – the EU is a Dictatorship. How come? How dare I say such a thing? Answer:  When the Commission headed by Herr Juncker issues a Regulation it has the force of law for all 28 member States immediately. ...

The True Deniers

Here are some questions for the man-made or Anthropogenic Global Warmers. Since I have taken up the cudgels on various Facebook pages I am screamed at by numerous sycophants who declare that I am a simpleton and totally ignorant. I confess! But here ...

Why I am voting for the U.K. to Leave the European Union

On June 23, the United Kingdom is voting in a referendum on Brexit – the proposal for Britain to exit the European Union.  The first thing we need to do is to examine the reasons for staying in the EU as outlined by the Prime Minister. ...

President Obama’s advice to Great Britain on the EU Referendum

Queen Elizabeth’s royal assent

As Britain celebrates the 90th birthday of our monarch, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd, it must not be forgotten that she still wields great power.  Every law that is promulgated at Westminster has to receive the Royal Assent, and it is not law until t...

Why Skeptics are Losing the Climate Change Battle

I am a climate skeptic. Many skeptics know that and have even contributed to my book Climate for the Layman. But we are losing the argument and for one simple reason. We keep, - or at least some of us - keep up the illusion that there is such a thing...
