Remainers still don’t get it — we want to be British and get away from Brussels

OVER the past two years, the 17.4million of us who voted to leave the European Union have got used to being insulted.

From the House of Lords to the BBC, from ex-prime ministers to indignant luvvies, the liberal establishment never tires of telling us that we are ignorant racist bigots who should never have been trusted with a vote.

Now ex-Labour minister Lord Malloch-Brown, glove puppet for billionaire George Soros’s Best For Britain campaign — which seeks to cancel the biggest vote in British history — claims that leaving the EU is like Neville Chamberlain appeasing Hitler in 1938.

Come again, M’Lud?

“When we try to, sort of, pull away from Europe’s problems and close ourselves off from them, they have a horrible habit of infecting us anyway,” Lord Malloch-Brown told the BBC.

“Appeasement in the 1930s, you name it. For centuries, Britain has ignored continental Europe events at its peril.”

As Ken Livingstone has proved, it is the sign of a desperate man who feels the need to bring up Adolf Hitler to make his point.

As 17.4million people could tell Lord Malloch-Brown, Brexit has never been about shutting ourselves off from Europe.

With his pro-EU dribblings about appeasing Hitler, the silly old duffer has demonstrated that the real thickos are all on the Remain side

Brexit is, above and beyond all else, a restoration of national sovereignty.

Brexit is about embracing the world and striking trade deals with emerging nations such as India and China, and re-establishing historic links with old friends including Canada, Australia, New ­Zealand and the US.

Why can’t they get it through their thick Remainer heads?

15

The British are no longer happy to be a colony of Brussels.

The Best For Britain campaign is bankrolled by Hungarian-born American citizen Soros, and the billionaire financier really should be getting more for his money than the historically illiterate bleatings of Lord ­Malloch-Brown, who lacks the intellect to make 17.4million ­people change their minds.

And isn’t that the big problem with all those who campaign to castrate Brexit?

There is no real attempt to persuade.

15

There is no effort to understand who so many of us want to take back control of our borders, our economy, our ­destiny. And there is no RESPECT.

There are only pathetic playground insults.

Nobody on the Remain side shows any understanding of why so many millions are not happy for our proud and successful nation to remain a vassal state of the European Union.

But George Soros himself says that the EU is an “existential ­crisis.” And he is right.

Italy is in turmoil because ­joining the euro has been catastrophic for its economy.

15

France has twice our unemployment rate. Angela Merkel has created social divisions that Germany will be dealing with for generations.

The Spanish Prime Minister was just kicked out on a vote of no confidence. And the East European nations will not take orders from Germany.

Every empire in history ­ultimately collapses. Why should the EU last for ever?

If there is any appeasement, then it is surely being done by the likes of Lord Malloch-Brown and all those craven Remainers who tug their forelock when Brussels treats our country with undisguised, sneering contempt for daring to want out.

Chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier has briefed that Brexit will be “only a footnote” at next month’s EU summit.
Only a footnote?

But we are one of the world’s major economies.

Without our £39billion divorce bill, Brussels is skint.

And yet these arrogant oafs continue to try to intimidate the UK.

It is the Remainers who patently lack the will to stand up to bullies, although I would never compare Lord Malloch-Brown to an appeaser of Nazis.

Because the crumbling EU is not Nazi Germany.

Because dragging the Nazis into the Brexit debate would be an insult to the six million who died in concentration camps.

And because the argument to leave the EU is compelling enough without bringing in Adolf Hitler.

Lord Malloch-Brown has done us all a favour. With his pro-EU dribblings about appeasing Hitler, the silly old duffer has demonstrated that the real thickos are all on the Remain side.

Rip-offs are tout of order

YOU still see old-school ticket touts. There were plenty loitering outside the Rolling Stones concerts in London.

But the big money these days is on the internet with secondary ticket sites that flog second-hand tickets at outrageous prices.

The worst of the bunch is Geneva-based Viagogo, which is accused of “drip-pricing” – stacking the quoted fee with VAT, delivery and booking charges.

15

But if Ed wants to stop touts exploiting his fans, then there is already a simple solution.

You will not get into the biggest theatre shows in London – Hamilton and Harry Potter And The Cursed Child – if you can’t show ID that proves it is your name on the ticket.

It is a system that should be introduced for every hot ticket.

AIDAN TURNER, returning for the fourth series of Poldark, says he has no objection to women lusting after his manly six-pack.

“Go for it,” says Aidan generously.

Aidan is actually a very serious actor, even touted as the next James Bond.

And he says he would even be prepared to keep his clothes on if the role demanded it.

Red Rom can blame pal Putin

SINCE being denied a UK visa, you can hardly blame Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich from ripping up plans to revamp his Chelsea stadium.

Why invest in a country that doesn’t want you?

Nobody should gloat too loudly.

The new Chelsea stadium would have pumped millions into the local community, including affordable housing worth nearly £4million.

He loses. But we lose too.

15

Perhaps Abramovich, who has never been accused of any wrongdoing, could have a word in the ear of his pal Vladimir Putin.

And tell him the UK can never be a place where the Russian state feels free to bump off its enemies.

AMANDA HOLDEN shocked the nation – or at least the 663 people who complained to Ofcom – when she wore a dress on the last series of Britain’s Got Talent that allowed a cool breeze to blow from her neck to her navel.

For Wednesday’s semi-final, Amanda played it safe by wearing this sparkling silver mini that completely covered her navel.

No news yet on how many people objected to it.

Or how many people rather liked it.

Shame of Labour's nasties

JUST days after the death of Tessa Jowell, the former Labour minister who died of a brain tumour at the age of 70, Labour members at the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency in London attempted to mark Tessa’s passing with a minute’s silence.

But some comrades could not manage 60 seconds of respectful silence because Baroness Jowell was not left- wing enough for their tastes and had even – gasp! – been an ally of Tony Blair.

15

“There was quite a lot of heckling (during the minute’s silence),” said someone who witnessed the ugly scenes.

“One person shouted that Tessa Jowell had voted for the murder of lots of people.

"They instead wanted to hold a minute’s silence for Gaza.”

Remind me one more time – who are the real nasty party now?

They're grrrrrrr-eat?

ABOLISHING Tony the Tiger from cereal packets will not make one child lose weight.

But getting kids to walk, jog or run a mile every day – as one million children at 6,000 primary schools now do – will work.

And it will also save the NHS billions.
