Six years after Brexit and the sky still hasn’t fallen in despite Remoaner predictions
Six-year war
EXACTLY six years ago we woke to a new Britain.
Against the odds, a 17.4million majority had opted to leave the EU for a new destiny. We all know what happened next.
A Remainer-packed Parliament paralysed politics to thwart the referendum result. Shifty MPs like Keir Starmer pretended to respect it but, in cahoots with Brussels, fought to overturn it.
His insanely dangerous plot was only scuppered, and Brexit completed, by Boris Johnson’s thumping election win in 2019. Since when almost every Remoaner prediction has fallen apart.
Trade deals were rapidly done with the EU and scores of major nations, with more coming. Our independence let us roll out Covid jabs and reopen the economy much quicker than Brussels.
The sky never fell in. Our growth is poor, but so is the EU’s. Our current woes are almost entirely down to Covid and war, afflicting virtually all nations.

That debate ended six years ago today.
How about instead helping to make a united, independent Britain the world-leading success we know it can be?

THE new surge in woke students’ bigotry towards views they dislike is terrifying.
Universities are meant to stage a contest of ideas. Instead, most undergraduates prefer to bar dissenting opinions.

How about just “not going”?

It’s not entirely their fault. Their lecturers too are nearly all left-wing, often young enough themselves to have been taught the monstrous wickedness of any view to the right of Jeremy Corbyn’s.
If the Tories do not fix this, no one will. Certainly not Labour, which profits from it.
