The supporters of the EU are an "insufferably patrician class... a bourgeoisie with insatiable consumerist tastes and ancient instincts of their own superiority...
The British economist Gerard Lyons is reputed to be an accurate economic forecaster.
In the late 1980s he correctly forecast that the 'Lawson Boom' would end in a Bust.
He correctly predicted sterling's exit from the ERM.
After Black Wednesday he correctly forecast that interest rates would fall sharply and the economy would grow strongly, which was contrary to the general consensus.
In 1999, he wisely opposed the UK adopting the euro, predicting that the combined currency would run into trouble, as occurred in the 2010 European sovereign-debt crisis.
The month before the 2008 financial crisis he was one of only two UK forecasters then predicting an imminent deep recession.
2. With quality goods at a competitive price, we can sell not just into the Single Market from outside the EU but into many markets across the globe.
3. This was not a vote against Europe but against the institutions and working practices of the European Union.
4. The recent scale of migration prevented wages from rising in some areas and increased pressure on public services and housing, creating tensions.
This highlighted the need for both a sensible approach and for the government to invest more in infrastructure and to boost housing supply.
5. It makes sense to be thinking globally while distancing Britain from the plethora of crises that lie ahead for the EU.
These might include the Italian banking crisis, the German life insurance crisis, the Greek debt crisis, the youth unemployment crisis and the euro crisis.
6. The UK now needs to focus on pro-growth policies driven by increased investment, infrastructure and innovation, where services, the City and manufacturing play their part.
7.We also need to start thinking less about zero-hour contracts and more about taking pride in ensuring that workers' rights are protected by Parliament.
8. The UK has made a clear, bold decision to distance itself from the centralising, controlling and regulating environment of the EU.
9. The countries that will succeed need to be global in their outlook, adaptable, flexible, and to control their own destiny.
10. Many young people backed Remain, for many reasons, including fears that they would be unable to travel freely if we left the EU.
That is nonsense.People can travel freely across the globe now.
Membership of the EU hit Cornwall's fishing industry.
Cornwall is a somewhat neglected area - just like Mississippi in the USA, or Barlanark in Scotland.
Cornwall has no motorways.
Cornwall
In 2004, the GDP per head in Cornwall was 79.2% of the EU average.
In 2011, GDP per head in Cornwall was 64% of the European average.[98]
The GDP per head in the UK as a whole was 123.0% of the EU average.[97]
David Cameron in Cornwall. If Cornwall was a country, it would be poorer than Lithuania and Hungary.
The EU has been giving Cornwall £60 million (60,000,000) per year, on average.
In the last 15 years, the EU has put £1 billion into Cornwall - including improving internet connections, and helping fund the Eden Project (a cluster of giant tropical domes) and Newquay Airport.
Compare that with the £14.5 billion (14,500,000,000) UK government expenditure on London's Crossrail project.
Nearly half England's infrastructure spending is spent in London.
Tanks and trains for UK use are made overseas. "It’s as if they want big industry in Britain to be finished."
On his current construction site in Leeds, there is a Romanian earning £7.20 an hour. Among British tradesmen, he says, "you wouldn’t get a bricklayer for twice that."

"Johnson didn't announce which side he was backing until February 21.
"Until then, British Prime Minister David Cameron believed he would back Remain.
"Days before Johnson announced he would support Brexit he told many close friends, including Roland Rudd, a longtime associate, that he would support the campaign to stay...
"Gove told Johnson he was backing Brexit and Johnson feared being outflanked...
"Johnson may emerge in a strong position in the short term no matter which way the vote goes. Corbyn will emerge further discredited whether it’s Yes or No..."
"The austerity ... is ...written into the EU treaty as a non-negotiable obligation. So are the economic principles of the Thatcher era."

If the UK stays in the EU, it will be run by a bunch of unpopular right-wing, pro-Israel, pro-Pentagon characters.
If the UK leaves the EU, it could be run by a bunch of unpopular right-wing, pro-Israel, pro-Pentagon characters.
If the UK leaves the EU, it at least has a chance to throw out the unpopular right-wing, pro-Israel, pro-Pentagon characters.
Juncker (left) 1. One of the arguments put forward by those who want the UK to leave the European Union is that the European Union is led by people like Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commission.
Juncker, the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, has partial Jewish ancestry.
Brabantian reminds us that in 2013, "Luxembourg courts declared Juncker guilty of playing a role in the cover-up of the actions of the Luxembourg policemen who conducted Luxembourg's early 1980s Operation Gladio bombings."
In the 1980s, "Luxembourg spies were involved in a series of bombings...
"Together with military and intelligence agents from multiple European countries, they were part of Operation Gladio, a clandestine illegal paramilitary organization."
Juncker was aware of the actions of these 'terrorists' but took no action.
The terrorist activities of Gladio were organised by the CIA and its friends.
Of course, if the UK wants to loosen the grip of the CIA and its friends, it also has to leave NATO.
An 'independent' Scotland would not be truly independent if it was in both the EU and NATO.
..
2. One of the arguments put forward by those who want the UK to leave the European Union is that a UK outside the EU could become like Switzerland, which is neither in the EU nor in NATO.
Switzerland is regarded as being wealthier and happier than the UK.
"If Britain left the EU but wanted full access to the European single market, "it would have to observe almost all the EU's rules.
"That is the case in Norway and Switzerland, non-members that both also pay into the EU budget (in Norway’s case, roughly 90% of Britain’s net contribution per head)."
3. If the UK leaves the EU, that does not guarantee an end to Globalisation, the process by which American companies end up controlling everything and end up moving their factories to 'cheap labour' countries.
If the UK wants to be 'independent' it has to build up its own industries.
Airports used by the CIA or its torture programme. It looks like Scotland and Ireland are already controlled by the CIA. Bush and Cheney - trial for war crimes.
4. There is a danger that if the UK leaves the EU it could become even more of a colony of the USA.
Many of the UK politicians who want the UK to leave the EU are very pro-USA and very pro-Israel.
"William Hague offered the US ambassador a 'pro-American' government.
"Hague also said the entire Conservative leadership were, like him, 'staunchly Atlanticist'..."
1.The UK's £60bn trade deficit with the EU means powerful German auto producers, French wineries and Italian furniture-makers will make sure that Britain continues to trade with the EU.
2. In 1980, the EU accounted for over 30% of global GDP.
Now, despite many more member states, the EU accounts for over 30% of global GDP.
3. Brexit makes sense because 'Europe' isn't working.
The EU today is slow-growing and tied up in red tape.
The euro, which 'most economists' told us to join, is doing untold damage.
Locked in a high-currency straitjacket, Greece and Spain are suffering 40-50% youth unemployment.
Italy, having barely grown since the euro's 1999 launch, faces a major banking crisis.
Unable to depreciate their currencies, such economies are being sacrificed on the altar of 'more Europe'.
The message in the landerette's window says: "Please note, I did not tackle the gunman. And no one shouted Britain First at any time." JO COX FALSE FLAG CONSPIRACY.
4. The UK currently sends 42% of its exports to the EU, sharply down from 55% just five years ago.
The EU is declining as a UK export destination.
5. Treaties including Maastricht and Lisbon have severely diluted British sovereignty.
The European Commission (with its over-paid, unaccountable bureaucrats) and the European Parliament (a rubber-stamping factory for Commission diktats) are now powerful entities in our national life.
Trade with the EU will still matter, but in a more inter-connected world, with the UK specialising in 'weightless' services and geography less necessary, Europe isn't economically important enough for us to succumb to a deeply undemocratic supra-national political body in order to trade with it.
6. Studies by the Treasury and the OECD say that UK households will be worse off, with Brexit.
Such 'studies' are designed to scare voters.
When the euro implodes, the big EU economies - the UK included - will pick up the tab
The UK, free from onerous EU directives and the common tariff on non-EU imports, could grow faster.
A Brexited Britain would focus more on trade with dynamic emerging markets in Asia and elsewhere.
The EU suits big UK corporates, banks and professional firms, as Brussels-based lobbying and tortuous regulation keeps smaller challengers at bay.
That's why so many small and medium-sized firms accounting for much of Britain's creativity and employment back Leave.
(Almost half of Europe’s tech businesses worth more than $1bn were founded in the UK. Read more)
7. If we vote Brexit, other countries will likely hold their own EU votes.
The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Italy could also vote to leave.
Only then will the eurocrats be forced to move to a looser, less hubristic, more democratic EU.
One focused on trade and co-operation between sovereign nations, not absurd nation-building appealing to elites.
...
8. Then there is 'free movement of people' - good in theory but, I'm afraid, in reality naïve and dangerous.
Massive wage differentials between EU members have driven record UK net migration: over 330,000 last year, double that if gauged by new national insurance numbers.
When the pace is this fast and getting faster, low-income working people suffer, their wages flattened.
This isn't about being 'racist' or 'stupid', but being deeply insecure economically – something much of our media class will never understand.
1. I will cast my vote for withdrawal from the European Union.
It comes down to an elemental choice: whether to restore the full self-government of this nation, or to continue living under a higher supranational regime, ruled by a European Council that we do not elect in any meaningful sense, and that the British people can never remove, even when it persists in error...
We are deciding whether to be guided by a Commission with quasi-executive powers that operates more like the priesthood of the 13th Century papacy than a modern civil service; and whether to submit to a European Court of Justice (ECJ) that claims sweeping supremacy, with no right of appeal...
2. The EU crossed a fatal line when it smuggled through the Treaty of Lisbon, by executive cabal, after the text had already been rejected by French and Dutch voters in its earlier guise.
It created a European supreme court with jurisdiction over all areas of EU policy, with a legally-binding Charter of Fundamental Rights that opens the door to anything...
Aangirfan getting ready to vote.
3. Has there ever been a proper airing of how the elected leaders of Greece and Italy were forced out of power and replaced by EU technocrats, perhaps not by coups d'etat in a strict legal sense but certainly by skulduggery?
On what authority did the European Central Bank write secret letters to the leaders of Spain and Italy in 2011 ordering detailed changes to labour and social law, and fiscal policy, holding a gun to their head on bond purchases? ...
4. We are a long way from the triumphalism of the millennium, when the EU was replicating the structures of the US federal government, with an EU intelligence cell and military staff in Brussels led by nine generals, and plans for a Euro-army of 100,000 troops, 400 aircraft and 100 ships to project global power...
5. We are compelled to make our choice at a treacherous moment, when our current account deficit has reached 7% of GDP, the worst in peace-time since records began in 1772 under George III.
We require constant inflows of foreign capital to keep the game going, and are therefore vulnerable to a sterling crisis if foreigners lose confidence.
I am willing to take the calculated risk that our floating currency would act as a benign shock absorber - as devaluation did in 1931, 1992, and 2008 - but it could be a very rough ride.
As Standard & Poor's warned this week, debts of UK-based entities due over the next 12 months amount to 755pc of external receipts, the highest of 131 rated sovereign states...
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a series of trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US.
The aim is to give the USA and its corporations control over the EU.
Britain has seen almost 30 government officials go to work for Google while David Cameron has appointed two of Google's executives to posts in his government.
Google will decide the result of the EU Referendum and will decide the result of the US Presidential Election?
Recently, the Sunday Telegraph reported that the EU is poised to fine Google €3b for "web search monopoly abuse" and that "Google will be banned from continuing to manipulate search results."
Dr North told The Register that Google was in danger of losing its integrity and he warned that its power could distort the democratic process.
No mention of Trump? It has been reported that: Google is pals with David Cameron. And thus Google tends to promote the pro-Cameron stuff and tends to hide the anti-Cameron stuff. Google 'Conservatives are ...'
In 2015, Psychologist Robert Epstein told the Politico website:
'America's next president could be eased into office ... by Google's secret decisions.
'And no one - except for me and perhaps a few other obscure researchers - would know how this was accomplished.'
