OKTC, copied to my MP and IDS as a
courtesy.
It should now perfectly clear to everyone that
Michael Gove was put up as a puppet leader of VoteLeave, with the support of the
Electoral Commission and the Cabinet Office, to which the Electoral Commission
reports. (It is not independent - its creation was simply a device to transfer
control of elections from the Home Office to the Cabinet Office). I said as
much during the campaign of course. Even Blind Freddy can now see it.
There is simply no other credible explanation for
the failure of VoteLeave to emphasise the massive trade deficit with the EU27,
the huge regulatory burden imposed as a result of our membership of the
so-called single market and the massive costs of labour displacement due to the
uncontrolled immigration into the UK of unskilled and semi-skilled EU economic
migrants.
Gove is playing a similar game with the Tory
leadership contest. He has no campaign on the ground and if he gets on the
ballot paper he obviously plans to lose, as he planned to to lose the EU
referendum. He has very obviously agreed with Theresa May that he will be
Chancellor and she will be PM.
The idea, equally obviously, is to subvert the
constitution of the Conservative Party by having two MPs on the same ticket
nominally opposing each other. If Gove were to succeed in blocking Andrea
Leadsom, the conservative with most Parliamentary support, from the ballot, the
'contest' would be a farce, like a televised wrestling match, followed by a
'unity' Cabinet, which at best would include a token handful of
Eurosceptics.
Remember that May was the author of those
gratuitously offensive 'nasty party' remarks (apparently she has never forgiven
me for taking up some of 'her' air-time that night with my speech to the Bruges
Group). Both May and Gove, sadly, appear with respect to be ruthless,
unprincipled, centrist machine politicians.
More than that, each is obviously committed to
continuing membership of the EEA Agreement, i.e. each supports uncontrolled
labour dumping from Europe, regardless of the social and economic cost, and the
likely loss of life, as the angry, displaced white working class take their
revenge.
The uncontrolled immigration policy has clearly
been rejected by the electorate. It is not even clear that Article 50 would
operate to terminate membership of the single market, i.e. bring UK membership
of the EEA Agreement to an end. It probably woudn't. Thursday's vote was as
much a vote against membership of the so-called single market as it was against
EU membership.
It is understood that Germany is relaxed about our
leaving the EU, provided that we can be forced to remain trapped inside the
'single market', so that we continue to be a dumping ground for EU, mostly
German, exports, and EU27 surplus labour. Cameron appears to have caved in to
these key German demands as the European Council meeting.
Chris Grayling is obviously being lined up as Home
Secretary. He is weak man, with respect, and would probably continue May's
policy of not doing much to interrupt the distribution of narcotics inside the
UK (May has been a failure when it comes to controlling the deadly trade in
dangerous drugs). Since Germany's GO2 controls the two main distribution cartels
in the UK this is another key German demand, although of course it can only be
made in smoke-filled rooms as German control of the drugs trade, which costs
about 30,000, mostly young, lives in the UK each year is covert.
I do not say that May as Home Secretary is aware
that the drugs trade is controlled from Germany. She is not that bright, with
respect, is intelligence illiterate (so much so that she has probably never
heard of GO2) and so far as I know has not read Spyhunter. She is a typical,
"house-trained idiot", to paraphrase 'Jim Hacker', no offence intended. It
would not be difficult for Home Office officials to pull the wool over her eyes.
Eurosceptic MPs should clearly question Gove
closely about his views on denouncing the EEA Agreement. I imagine they will
find him evasive, as he was during the referendum campaign. The reality is that
he belongs to the Chamberlain/Heath/Major/Cameron wing of the party and is
prepared to cave in to German demands, just as he would probably have supported
our community partner Adolf Hiltler's demands at Munich in 1938.
The good news is that Andrea Leadsom has a good
chance of being placed on the ballot. Eurosceptic MPs should swing behind her.
If she becomes PM she will have a strong team and would probably go down the
Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties route. She has already made it clear
that she will not accept uncontrolled immigration from the EU27 and that
Europeans would have to take their chances like everybody else.
European economic migrants already here should be
given time to leave, parallel with the notice period, preferably the 12 month
Vienna period.
We do not need tariff-free access to the so-called
single market and there is no need at all to enter into time-wasting
negotiations with our community enemies.
