Part One of our summary on EU militarisation
– and how Mrs May has been signing us up without MPs’ knowledge

Defence of the Realm is the primary responsibility for any government. Brexit Facts4EU.Org presents the latest in its series of 1-pagers for MPs and for voters. It makes for shocking reading.

Mrs May’s Government & Civil Servants have been signing us up to EU militarisation without MPs’ knowledge
The EU’s military budgets will rocket to more than 50 times their current size from Jan 2021
German Defence Minister declares : “Europe (sic) is forming an army… A united EU military is becoming a reality”

UPDATE, EASTER MONDAY, 22 APR 2019 - This factsheet has been extremely popular, on this site and on social media. Unfortunately, as things stand we will not be able to produce the second two factsheets in this series on defence. We would like to thank the readers who have donated, but sadly this work does not seem to attract sufficient donations, for some reason.

A one-pager is a one-pager

In the document above Brexit Facts4EU.Org has summarised - into a one-page PDF - some of the basic things MPs and voters need to know. We have distilled thousands of facts we’ve researched from official EU and Government sources over the past three years into something everyone can read.

Inevitably a one-pager can’t possibly include all the shocking facts about what the EU is doing, and how Mrs May’s Government has been acquiescing in this. We have covered all this information in detail in nearly 200 articles over the past three years.

This one-pager is Part One and is a summary of some of the key facts

We have even more devastating facts which we would like to condense into two more parts: one dealing with taxpayers' money and NATO, and the final one dealing with Mrs May’s moves to keep the UK shackled to EU foreign and defence policy.

Like the first document, the second and third parts will be factual documents based on research into official information.

Finally, all MPs might like to note…

MPs whose constituencies contain defence industry jobs might like to note that Theresa May’s exit deal means that a new £1 billion MOD shipbuilding contract could be lost from the UK. This is just one example, but there are many.

If we leave the EU under WTO rules, we can keep these jobs – and all other jobs involved in defence procurement - in the UK. Under Mrs May’s disastrous surrender treaty, these could be lost to EU27 contractors.

Observations

Last week we started asking for your help to support us in doing the work involved in preparing these one-pagers. They are one of the most diffcult and time-consuming things we do.

Some of you have kindly sent donations, for which we are very grateful. Those of you who are happy for your names to appear as sponsors will see your names in the article above.

Unfortunately our appeal failed to achieve anything like the amount we needed. We went ahead with the first one-pager summary anyway, with the cost underwritten by our Editor.

We fully understand that everyone is donating to the ‘big boys’ and that an extra donation to us is a big ask. All we can say is that our work matters. We’re not organising rallies preaching to the converted. We don’t have expensive London offices or expenses accounts. We’re focused on what we think can really influence the debate, and can influence the MPs who will ultimately decide on Brexit.

We believe that publishing the first ever set of simple facts about the number one priority of Government – the defence of the Realm – is another good way of making a difference.

Please support us with a donation if you can, otherwise we can’t produce the other two defence factsheets.

Finally

To end on a positive note, we hope you will help us to promote this first factsheet in any way you can, including printing it off and sending it to your MP!

Wishing all our readers a happy and peaceful Easter Sunday

FROM THE BREXIT FACTS4EU.ORG TEAM
We fully understand the frustrations that many readers are feeling about the overall state of affairs in regards to Brexit.
We would, however, ask that all commenters try to use moderate language. Let's have a civilised debate on here! :)
This is particularly true now that the Brexit Party and UKIP are at loggerheads, and now that Theresa May is facing us with EU elections and a six-month delay.
May we also please remind readers that posting links to other sites as a form of promotion is not allowed.
A Happy Easter Sunday to all our readers!

It is indeed difficult to distil the sheer weight & number of 'evidential actions hidden from the plebs' taken by this (& previous) Govt, so well done.
It is difficult to believe that people in the most senior positions in Govt and in the 'party machines' are not aware, so the conclusion can only be complicitness in treason & betrayal of our country. Bought & paid for EU Projekt Agents, whether by bribery or blackmail. This is why a 'change of leader', of whatever party, will change nothing as the EU cancer is endemic within the parties & senior snivel serpents. I greatly admire the democracy supporting MPs of all parties doing an incredibly difficult job against a corrupt system, but as an outsider looking in I can only see a certain naivety in 'reform the party from within'. It's no different to the plaintive cry of remoaners 'reform the EU from within'. It's too far gone so won't work & besides, all trust has gone.
If I recall correctly, the EU held back their 'big announcement' about the EU Army until the day after the referendum. Couldn't have those Brits knowing that Cloggy lied before the vote, & before they'd committed themselves to the EUSSR by voting remain, could they?
I believe that May has lied twice, by ommission (the BBC way) to the House regarding the military union that she's been signing us up for. It's the final backstop, and backdoor route 'back in' to EU control if all else fails. This truely is an evil Govt.
Happy Easter everyone.

Thank you for providing the summary pdf - good job. It also outlines two fundamental issues on this to which Remainers never have a real answer:
1. WHY does the EU (and shamefully our own PM too) feel it's necessary to keep us in the dark about how the EU pushes their agenda on common defence? WHY did certain politicians even go to the lengths of bluntly lying about it?
Surely it's an important enough topic to keep it transparent.
2. HOW can anyone seriously think that the UK can stay part of EU defence, when national defence is an absolute basic for sovereignty? (And obviously, I'm not talking about cooperation with each other, which is sensible, but dependence on the EU IS NOT.

Please, please get the other two parts ready asap, vital that everything is provable, a simple list bibliography that can be displayed alongside the sheets, with QR codes that passers by can scan and goto links might be useful? A header sheet with the picture of that guy in EU insignia and saluting EU flag would make a powerful image and headline.

5. Alfie and wife, from Northants , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 10:05:

Excellent work by your team thank you. In a past life I had to summarise complex information and I know how hard it can be. You've done a great job.
I've just sent you a very small donation and I'm sorry it's not more but I'm on a state pension and at least it's better than nothing. I hope that if more of your readers do the same you can complete the series of factsheets. If the first one is anything to go by I can't wait. We must get this information to MP's.
Please keep going because we need you. Also have a pat on the back from my wife and me for what that's worth.

6. UB , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 10:22:

Donated what we can afford, planning to print these out big and get setup with a small display to spread awareness. The more folks can do this across the country the better!

7. Charlie - Watford , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 14:47:

Your factsheet is brilliant and i've already printed out some copies to send to my MP and a few other people. I love the way you used that German defence minister!!! She should get people going! Please do the 2 additional sheets asap.
What you're doing is practical and useful and please don't think we don't appreciate it! I'll do my best to promote you even though i don't have much influence.
I wish leave means leave, ukip, brexit party etc would promote your work - never see them doing that? Why not?

8. Michael Anthony Wood , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 16:30:

It's quite clear that Mrs May and the civil service took absolutely no notice of the Referendum result; they just carried on as if nothing had changed. No further integration should have taken place until after we had left and we could then have discussed
any joint co-operation.
It would be interesting to know how many soldiers they plan on having; 1 or 2 million. I get the impression that they can't wait to invade somewhere. As far as I am concerned an EU army + massive MUSLIM uncontrolled immigration = trouble.
I have made a small donation again.

9. barbara Jell , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 20:40:

I am very proud to be mentioned as a sponsor, especially if it encourages and incentivises others to do the same. The latest leaflet on the EU Army is brilliant and am already printing off copies to distribute and can't wait for the next one!
Am really unhappy about the misconceptions regarding the friction between Gerard Batten and Nigel Farage. The malicious unpleasantness was initiated and is being perpetuated by Nigel, who unfortunately wishes to destroy his former party and Gerard is simply defending himself. It is Nigel Farage who has never wished to liaise with UKIP. This is borne out by Nigel's starring role in Leave means Leave and his behaviour - Gerard and UKIP were NEVER ONCE offered a platform or even MENTIONED, because of Nigel. I wrote to LML several times asking why UKIP was being sidelined, but never received a reply. I am firmly behind Gerard who is a thoroughly decent, patriotic man from a working class background who is not afraid to deal with contentious issues. UKIP is the real electoral threat and membership has soared by 2,000 very recently.
And, whilst I'm on the subject, can someone please explain how Brexit can be delivered by even a small army of MEPs being sent to Brussels?? They may cause some disruption and be a huge irritation, but they will be massively outnumbered, will not change the status quo and will be outvoted at every turn. It is our Government and the Establishment which need changing and this can only be done at the ballot box.

10. Steven , Sunday, April 21, 2019, 22:05:

Wellsaid, Barbara. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of UKIP whilst Farage was leading it. Gerard Batten may not have a huge amount of charisma but to be honest he comes across as far more ‘normal’ than Farage does and although I don’t like to bring class into politics if I can help it, I can’t but wonder if one reason Farage doesn’t confront contentious issues like Batten does is because of his far more privileged background? Put simply, he has led a life that was very comfortable from the start and therefore finds it hard to identify with the concerns of working class people living in less than glamorous areas.
Your second paragraph is spot-on. Even if the Brexit Party were to win every single seat from Britain, what possible good would it do in the EU parliament? They, as you say, would be hugely outnumbered by the MEPS from the other countries , outvoted at every turn, and wouldn’t join up with many of the other MEPs since many of those most sympathetic to Brexit and our situation are members of ‘racist’ (in Farage’s estimation) parties such as Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN), and Germany’s Alternative For Germany (AFD).
That being said, I suppose Farage and his merry Tory men and women might be hypocritical by saying his party was going to be, “intolerant of the intolerant” whist still joining up with parties like that so they could make their presence felt. After all, Farage does denounce UKIP’s alleged racism continuously now and yet only last year he was getting himself in the news- AGAIN- by attending one of the Afd’s rallies in Berlin which was attended by none other than German Member of the Bundestag Frau Beatrix Von Storch who is the grand daughter of Hitler’s last Finance Minister.
