OUR FUTURE AWAITS.
We can wake up Friday on the brink of a new future. A future where we can begin to control our borders and have a proper, controlled immigration policy. Where we can let in those from all over the world whom we choose to let in. Those with the skills we need and not an open door to every immigrant from Eastern Europe. Where we have an extra £10 Billion to spend on whatever priorities we decide. Where we get back control of our seas and fisheries policy and can begin to revive... the industry so brutally betrayed by Ted Heath and successive Prime Ministers since. Where we can put into place an agricultural policy that protects our farmers and puts into place an aspiration to make us, once again, self-sufficient in food production. Where we can make our laws supreme once again and rid ourselves of the interference from the European courts. Where we can stop having to go cap-in-hand to Brussels bureaucrats to beg them to allow us to do what is in our own national interest. Where we can finally start to stop the expansionist, globalist policies that are having such a damaging affect on our civilisation across Europe. We are not alone. All across the EU people just like us are waking up to the destruction being caused by their elected officials. We can be that catalyst for change. The EU is unreformable. Name me one politician EVER who has voluntarily given up any power he has over his electorate? It simply will NEVER happen. So it falls to us to take a deep breath and do what we know is right. It seems to always fall to us but that's the nature of our people. We lead and others follow. It's that spirit that makes us both universally admired and despised. The greatest nation on this earth, a history envied by he world, the 5th biggest economy in the world, the 4th largest military power...our tiny island...'This precious stone set in the silver sea'. Independence Day looms. Do what's right for your children and grandchildren and the generations to follow. They will NEVER give us another chance. Vote Remain and we will Remain forever and have more of what we've had in the past. Time to draw that line in the sand and vote LEAVE.

JO COX
The slaughter of a young, beautiful woman on the streets of another town goes beyond tragic. In reading of her young family and devoted husband the empathy begins to overwhelm. But we live in a political age and blame must be apportioned, delineated. That a mentally ill, deranged individual, under treatment at his local unit, an individual who would scrub his skin with Brillo pads, is allowed to wreak such carnage on our streets says many things. It calls into question our treatment of the mentally ill. With finances at a perilous state and a budget deficit of £80 Billion cuts have to be made and prioritised, but are these cuts endangering not only the very people the welfare state was formed to protect but also individuals going about their daily business? With money at a premium is the protecting of our Foreign Aid budget at the expense of our own vulnerable, mentally ill a price worth paying? But what it does not bring up or conflate with is the current decision the British people have to make regarding their continued membership of the EU. Politicians are a seedy lot of people on the whole and their ability to try to turn everything to their own advantage is one of the prime reasons for the loss of public faith in them. Their hypocrisy, opportunism, cant, hyperbole and downright lying singles them out for the opprobrium so widely heaped upon them. My sympathy for Jo Cox and her family is deep. But virtually everything she stood for on the EU question was wrong. Hers was a world of unfettered immigration into our land. A world where we should embrace every single Syrian 'refugee' that sought our tiny island. She was a beautiful woman, undeservedly cut down in her prime, who talked rubbish. I would have said it before her tragic loss and the vote we face in a week is too important not to say it now. The left, as is their wont, are ready with their spurious comparisons and it leaves them, as a movement, even more diminished. They say the rhetoric in this referendum battle is 'dangerous' but then stoke up that danger with more reckless amplification. Time to stand back and breathe. This tragedy throws up many questions for after the referendum but should in no way alter or affect any vote going into it. My sympathy to her family who now need the time to grieve.

THE ABSURDITY OF MICHELLE DEWBERRY.
Watched open-mouthed this morning as the normally sane (well, ok, sometimes sane) Michelle Dewberry (Evidently winner of The Apprentice, a 'reality TV star', 'Entrepreneur' and regular guest on Sky) waxed lyrically and poetically about enjoying a vino in some Italian piazza, an Italian flag fluttering in unison with an EU flag in the gentle breeze, as she got emotional about the European dream and pondered why our politicians don't give a more positive spin on our membership of the EU. Strange that because over the last few months I've enjoyed a bicchiere de vino in Rome, a verre de vin rouge in France and a ποτήρι κόκκινο in Santorini. Last week I watched the sunset over the Alhambra as I enjoyed a copa de vino tinto in the Plaza San Miguel Bajo and enjoyed the civilisation that we Europeans have achieved. And all the while I was doing this it never once occurred to me to surrender the democracy and sovereignty I have, that my ancestors have battled and sacrificed for, to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels who view the civilisation we now enjoy with such contempt. What DID occur to me was the 45% youth unemployment Spain now 'enjoys' as the failed and doomed Euro project reaches its apogee (Here). What did occur to me was the disastrous state of the wrecked Italian economy (Here), an economy that is beyond saving and will inevitably lead to the British once again dipping into their empty pockets to bail out another failed Southern European economy that refuses to adapt or reform its system to the modern world. What did occur to me is the way the EU (Germany) obtruded a technocratic government upon the Italians and what did occur to me was the way the EU has trodden down democracy in Greece (Here), imposed a government upon it, impoverished it forever and now cut it off as the migrants crisis THEY are responsible for becomes, as predicted, unmanageable. What did occur to me was the total failure of the Euro as a currency on ALL its members except Germany (again!) (Here). What did occur to me was the total disaster of the 'Schengen Area' and the abject failure of European politicians to handle it (Here). What did occur to me was the fascist nature of the EU and its attempts to silence all criticism (Here). What did occur to me was the conspiracy to cover up sexual assaults of women by the migrants THEY are encouraging to come here (Here). I could go on but the list is truly a long one. Michelle wonders why they don't be more 'positive' about EU membership? Probably because there's sod all to be positive about Michelle love. If there was they would use it trust me. Rather like the mafia the EU survives on threats and intimidation for it knows no other way of getting obedience and acquiescence. I viewed an interview with prime 'Remain' supporter Harriet Harridan and, with delight, watched her discomfiture as she failed to recognise any of the four (yes FOUR) 'Presidents' the EU has or indeed any of the seven main EU politicians that were put in front of her (Here). No doubt Michelle would also be unable to put a name to their faces. After all why should she?...she's never voted for them nor has any idea what they do or how they impact on her life. At least Harridan doesn't care who they are as she will have a lovely little number set up with them soon courtesy of the European taxpayer and will join the ranks of the politburo that demand total compliance. Over the years many movies have depicted a strange world governed by a distant voice only ever seen on a tv monitor. A world of faceless bureaucrats running our lives behind bland concrete buildings. Issuing edicts that must be obeyed. 'I am not a number I am a free man'...'You are Number 6...I am Number 1'...A world of 1984. We even have a name for it...Orwellian! How we scoffed. Nobody would be THAT stupid to allow it would they? Well the establishment has had 40 years to dumb down our education system, to brainwash our kids to such an extent that if they were turkeys they surely would vote for Christmas. They have been busy in that 40 years and have produced the Michelle Dewberrys of this world who are prepared to sell out everything for the price of an inexpensive vino in some Italian piazza or cheap roaming charges for their one week stay in Benidorm. Sad doesn't even come close to describing it!

EU MYTHS.
About time a few myths were laid to rest because the semantics of government and dictatorship are very important, as the fascists who inhabit the EU upper echelons know all too well. The first myth is 'The UK Contribution'. Everybody knows it's not a 'contribution' at all but a tax levied by the EU upon member states. The level of this tax rises the better an economy does. Exactly like your personal income tax does. Funny that. At this point the dreaded semantics raises its head. If the 'Contribution' was called what it is, 'A Tax', then the populace might raise its lethargic head from their tv screens and aim a quizzical eye toward Brussels. All globalist politicians agree they cannot have this so they think of friendly, cuddly little euphemisms in which to couch their blatant taxation, and 'contribution' fits the bill nicely thank you. The second myth is the hilariously titled 'UK Rebate' which, if you listen to said dictators, was staunchly battled for by Maggie and heroically and bravely defended by Bliar. In reality there is no 'rebate' at all but an EU bureaucracy spending and having control of your money so they can spend, and more importantly, take credit for, a percentage of member states spending. It's analogous to you paying your rates and the council saying 'we've emptied your bins and that's your rebate'. Clearly nonsense. You'd be no more satisfied with that than you would HMRC informing you that you're due a rebate but that rebate will come in the form of some service they will perform for you! The masses tend to forget that, primarily, the EU is a political movement that seeks one unified country called 'Europe'. A single country with no borders. A single country with one parliament, the one at Brussels. A single tax gathering authority responsible for collecting tax from ALL member states. A single authority that is responsible for the spending of all member states. Complete homegenisation across the whole of Europe. THAT is what being one country is. It's really not too difficult is it. The first step in that process is the ability of the EU to levy a tax...'The Contribution'...and then use part of that tax...'The Rebate'...to begin the process of taking over spending of member states. Want an indication of this? Well just say to the EU commission that rather than have 'a rebate' we'll just pay you half of our daily 'contribution' of £53 Million and reduce that to a mere £26.5 Million. Watch 'em squawk! Strange that really as they continue to tell us that we receive half of our contribution back! Politicians, both theirs and ours, are a devious lot and its up to you to see through them. Just watched the facile Liz Truss unsuccessfully trying to defend the latest abuse of the spending of taxpayers money, namely the latest 'Remain In EU' leaflet that the government are going to deliver to every household in Britain. 'Giving people the facts' said the moribund Liz. No you useless bint. What you're doing is abusing taxpayers money to give your opinion. Already everything you plastered across this enormous folly has been shot down. You'd really think that at this stage in her life poor ol' Liz would have grasped the difference between fact and opinion. But maybe that's the problem. A government so in hock to the globalists that they are prepared to lie, even to themselves. A government so lacking in confidence, in both themselves and the country they purport to represent, that they can no longer see the difference.

BORIS HAS A PROBLEM!
Boris Johnson...BoJo, bless him...has a problem. For Boris has to admit that he was wrong and has continued to be wrong for, perhaps, decades, a difficult thing for any politician to admit especially one who seeks the highest office in the land. Those of us who campaigned in 1975 to extricate ourselves from the then 'Common Market' correctly foresaw the inevitability of the direction of the Common Market. For over a hundred years Germany has sought to be the controlling force within Europe and to many of us, the more prescient, could see the ominous signs that then emanated from Bonn. De Gaulle, despite his repetitive 'Non' at every occasion, always seemed a peripheral player in a game that he was getting too old for. Of course in those days the 'Single Market' term hadn't been invented or at least not widely used among the proles like me. When this example of globalist gobbledegook started to become a term that the great political class used with such relish a shiver went up the spines of those of us who had always looked upon the morphed 'EU' with suspicion and fear. People like Boris seemed, then, to view the 'Single Market' as a financial term to ease trade among member 'states' and share prosperity among its citizens. It never was. It was ALWAYS about gathering member states into a closer, more officious, more red-taped bound, greater centrally controlled 'Union' that the same member states would find it almost impossible to disentangle themselves from. A similar example would be the Euro...a greater example of the sheer folly of European politicians it would difficult to imagine, but one where similar tactics have been used. We find countries entangled with this deflationary currency where they KNOW they would be far better off without it but are unable to rid themselves of it because of the sheer complexity of setting up your own currency and setting a financial framework that would allow your own country to take control of its economy. It would be churlish and childish to say 'we warned you' but well, we did! Today on Marr the penny at last seemed to have dropped with BoJo but he couldn't quite bring himself to admit that all his previous statements showing support for the 'Single Market' were an egregious error of judgement on his part. What still amazes me is that even today there are those who still take whatever EU politicians say at face value. Listen to atticvs...they ALWAYS have another agenda. The EU is not, primarily, a financial institution but a political one. You can't divorce yourself from one side of it. Its purpose is to take greater power from member states until it becomes a single entity known as Europe. It seeks, by openness or subterfuge (it really doesn't care how) to get that control by keeping a gullible public unaware of the extent of its power grab. It relies upon traitorous, complicit governments to aid this revolution. That Boris has only recently discovered this is welcome...better late than never...but until he admits his mistake he will always be open to the difficult questioning he faced on the Marr Show yesterday. A simple 'I was wrong and have changed my mind' would have disarmed an obviously hostile examiner. Man-up BoJo...too much is at stake.

THE EU FACTS AND THE ATTICVS TEST!
It's been a week since Cameron emerged from his private jet waving and proclaiming that he had, in his hand , a piece of paper...oops sorry...the analogy of Cameron and Chamberlain has now reached its apogee and I mustn't fall into the ever so tempting trap, but the comparisons are real. Like Chamberlain, but quicker, his sham has been seen through, rumbled, and he stands there bemused by it all. He promised us 'fundamental reform' of the EU enshrined in a treaty change. He's left with some half-hearted tinkering all of which will be open to challenges from any of the other 27 EU member states after the referendum has taken place. Even with the goodwill of the other states it only takes a change of government in one of those states and that goodwill can evaporate as quickly as one of Cameron's election pledges. It is the job of the European Court of Justice, which is the supreme court for all EU member states, to interpret the treaties and NOT promissory notes! That the ECJ must 'take into account' the results of Cameron's 'renegotiation' is true...but that is vastly different to saying they have to abide by them! Cameron is a globalist and the whole point of globalism is to concentrate power to fewer and fewer people by bypassing national democracy and accountability, so clearly it is not in his interest to leave the EU which, for many, is the enshrinement of the globalist dream. And all the while this global elite enrich themselves at our expense , wallowing in the trough they have built at our expense. As we sit here the vainglorious Welsh windbag Neil Kinnock sits on a £10 Million fortune courtesy of his involvement in the EU...yes it does indeed beggar belief but there we have it! Figures released today show the degrees of subterfuge 'Remain' politicians will go to to keep the truth from a gullible public. Immigration figures showed over 320,000 immigrants came here in the last 12 months...truly alarming, but to September 2015 these figures show 265,000 EU migrants yet over 630,000 NI numbers were issued! The 'Remainers' paint a gloomy, fearful scenario of uncertainty if we leave. One man's fear and another sees as an opportunity...what one man sees as a
leap in the dark' another sees as a 'stride into the light'! Mervyn King, ex-BofE head sees a massive period of 'uncertainty within the Eurozone ending in its 'inevitable collapse'. The much vaunted Schengen Area is collapsing by the minute as I write this blog with riots at various borders.
And there you have it...lies and opinion which leaves the voter confused and perplexed. So how do you decide to vote when one politician says stay another says leave?...when one financier says stay another leave?...when one businessmen says leave another stay?...they even have a battle to get celebreties on board to back one camp or the other! You, dear readers must use the atticvs test to decide which way you vote and it's based on the facts which are undeniable from either side!
Number 1: We pay over £50 Million a day to the EU...every day a cheque for that amount wings its way to Brussels. Now it's fair to say that we get SOME back in the form of a 'rebate' but that amount is also open to opinion and whatever it is we cannot decide on how it's spent but Brussels does and takes the credit. Happy with that?...then tick one box!
Number 2: We lose sovereignty. Not ALL sovereignty but some. Some areas we have no control over at all (fisheries, agriculture). This is undeniable. The EU parliament sits and decides vast areas of legislation. Sometimes we vote against, so we clearly think it's not in our national interest, but we get outvoted. That is a loss of sovereignty. Happy with that?...then tick another box!
Number 3: Immigration. If you believe that this country can absorb, and continue to absorb, over 300,000 migrants into our tiny island every year with no control over that number, and absorb them without it having any effect on housing, jobs, worker's conditions, education, welfare and the NHS...if you believe that then tick another box!
Number 4: If we were not members of the EU and this vote was to become part of the project how would you vote? Would you enter the polling station on the 23rd and put your cross in the box that said 'JOIN'?...if so then tick yet another box!
I am unable to comprehend any body wishing to stay with such a corrupt, crooked organisation. An organisation whose books have not been audited for 17 years. An organisation who ignores the will of its people to push ahead with the destruction of nations. An organisation that resorts to fear, threats and intimidation to impose its agenda on nations and people that disagree with it. But that's just my opinion. Make up your mind using the atticvs test!

'REMAIN' CABINET BRIEFING!
The scene...a cabinet briefing room in the bowels of Downing Street...
PM: 'I've called you all here for a report on how the 'Remain' campaign is going?'
Gloomy faces anxiously glance at each other..
Hammond: 'Not too well PM...we're behind and it's getting worse I'm afraid'
PM: 'It's not good enough Phil...can't we hit them with a scare story?'
May: 'We've tried that PM but the bastards seem to be thinking for themselves on this one'
PM: 'Can't we wheel out some Big Hitters, even if they are retired, to support our scare stories?'
Hammond: 'Tried that as well PM...even got Barosso to fly back from his Caribbean retreat but everyone just laughed...even Obama tried but nobody listens to him anymore either...even got them to amend a G20 release stating the (snigger) dangers of us leaving but they all just seem to be raising their eyes to us'
Hancock: 'Told you before PM old chap that we need to up the pressure'
PM: 'What do you suggest Mathew?'
Hancock: 'Rather than emphasis the '2 years of uncertainty' after Brexit we need to make it even more ridiculous'
PM: 'Like?'
Hancock: 'Ooooh I dunno...5 years of uncertainty and financial collapse after leaving?'
PM: 'Do you think they'll swallow that Mathew'
Hancock: 'Worth a try PM...of course we could all go for broke and tell them 10 years of uncertainty?'
Cabinet collapses into laughter that gradually drifts away as they look at the PM
PM: 'You may be on to something here Mat...10 years is sounding good...and it always leaves us the option of making it 12...15 years if it doesn't succeed...if this doesn't scare the proles then we're in trouble...big trouble!'
Hammond: 'I agree PM'
PM: 'Oh shut up Hammond...you're such an arselicker and you got terrible press over the weekend!
Gentlemen, and ladies of course...you do realise what we're fighting for here...if we don't win this then we could be held democratically accountable to the British public for the first time in 40 years...we'll have no excuses left...and all of those cushy jobs you're looking forward to when you retire will be gone...this is a battle for our secure retirements....we cannot afford to lose'
Hancock: 'I'll get working on it straight away PM...what's the news on Boris?'
PM: 'I've tried rubbishing him but that seems to have backfired...I'm having a meet with the defence staff later...Putin's little polonium trick with a brolly seems a good option at the mo'#
Table banging all round and hearty cries of 'hear hear' fill the room!
