How things change in politics! Three years ago the chance of a historic referendum on the EU was seemingly out of reach. The chances of winning a vote to leave the EU, whilst hugely desirable, seemed a long shot. We had a Conservative PM who wanted to stay in the EU, supported by a pro … Continue reading
My wish list from our political leaders
Continue to seek to balance the economy. Scrap HS2 to fund other projects. Continue to invest in other infrastructure including roads, rail and broadband. Renegotiate our relationship with Europe to return to being a trading partner. Accelerate the Brexit process and ensure it is a complete exit from the EU. Disengage with the European Court … Continue reading
A message from the Leave.EU Team.
Are we ever going to leave the European Union? The question on many a lip if the Leave.EU email inbox is anything to go by. While this week presented as many positive indications of a bright future beyond Brexit, the Establishment, safely ensconced in Westminster were singing to a different tune. This week has served as a … Continue reading
Our politicians are risking a serious backlash from the people – they demand Brexit now.
What do our politicians think they’re doing? What will it take to make our politicians finally understan that the people of the UK voted for Brexit and they want it now. Do we need to descend to strikes and civil disobedience? Four months ago the British people did exactly what they were asked to do, … Continue reading
Our mission: to rebuild the nation’s self-confidence

Democracy must come before self interest
I believe that migration policy, like all political decisions, should be brought back under the control of democratically elected politicians in this country. The trouble is, migration has been the most visible index of social change in this country over the past 20 years, and affects other issues such as housing, jobs, services and pay. … Continue reading
Consquences of Leaving the EU on security -positive actually.
The following question was asked of me at the EU referendum meeting tonight. “Many people are concerned that our fluid EU borders are allowing potential Jihadists to flood Europe and the UK, but if we withdraw we lose access to intelligence networks. How does our involvement in the EU affect our security?” My answer: The … Continue reading
My opening speech in Favour of Leaving the EU tonight at St Columba’s church Cambridge
Good evening to you all. I hope tonight you will hear a reasoned debate about the future of our relationship with the EU, free of outrageous scaremongering from either side, free of doom-laden prophesises that are becoming increasingly unbelievable, and free of endless data that seeks to prove the outcome of either leaving or … Continue reading
Wow – what happened to sensible debate over EU referendum? My simple guide.
When I speak to people, overwhelmingly they say they just don’t have enough balanced information to make a sensible decision at the EU referendum. Both sides appear to be making increasingly outlandish claims. Most of these claims revolve around the economic consequences and are often difficult, if not impossible to validate. Most are predictions based … Continue reading
