One year on – what is your favourite Brexit Bonus?

Nominate your choice by replying and we will rank the most popular in a special report early next year

It has been almost a year since the legal exit for most (but not all) of the UK became reality – what do you think has been the best outcome of Brexit that we could not have enjoyed without leaving the EU?

Merry Christmas! We thought while you are hopefully relaxing and before the New Year we’d ask you a question – what’s your favourite Brexit Bonus?

It is of course entirely your choice, but to kick things off we’ve suggested five possible nominations that might be up there with the rest. Feel free to nominate these as part of your own list.

In no particular order of merit:

Full democratic control of decisions that affect us
It is now up to us; we cannot keep passing the blame on to other countries and institutions when in the past we have been ‘Gilding the Brussels Lilly’, but must now hold our politicians to account for not using the freedoms and powers that they have to make the changes we demand, or hiding behind others’ skirts…
Freeports
Maybe watered down by the Treasury but potentially with the ability to be a game-changer in the locations where they have been ‘licensed’. Already there’s evidence of investment decisions being made into the country that would not have otherwise have happened, including some projects that would have gone to ‘Brexit free’ Scotland but instead went south to England because of Freeports. If ever there was a message to Scots about Brexit, that should be it.
Trade deals tailored to fit our export markets
Ignore the doom-sayers. Of course most of the deals so far were ‘roll-overs’ – the need was to keep the current deals alive – but even those were previously said to be impossible by critics of Brexit. Yet the Japanese deal had additions that were new and the New Zealand and Australia deals are fresh. The media tries its best to look at the impact on British vested interests while ignoring the benefits to British consumers and exporters. More of these deals will in time become the norm…
The freedom to introduce our own Covid vaccine before the rest of the EU
Whatever you think of the vaccines – and we do not publish our views about them as that’s not our job – the reality is that the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine would not have gained approval in time to be delivered by December 2020 had the UK Government not taken the decision to go with British drug approval (MHRA) without the EU agency oversight. Yes, that power always existed, but never would have a UK government have had the cojones to go it alone while inside the EU.
Escaping the development of an EU military force to support EU Foreign Policy
Well, we kept telling people and those like Nick Clegg kept denying it, but there has always been a very complicated and deceptive route – rather like Mao’s Long March – which looked like a Remainer retreat but was in fact destined to be the way to obtain control. That is the ability to have a military force that would add heft to EU Foreign Policy. Up until Theresa May fell from power this was still included the UK Government’s agenda. It no longer is, but there are still sleepers in the bureaucracy and parliament that we must guard against – is this the most important Brexit Bonus we never expected?

Observations

There are of course many others, some of which have maybe not been delivered as well as we all might like, but remain hugely important and would no doubt be recognised as more popular if delivered properly, such as:

Effective control of our borders as a sovereign nation
The power NOW to determine who fishes for what in our own seas
The ability to avoid new EU taxes and regulations that burden our country’s businesses, and
The avoidance of paying the annual membership fee for a club that took advantage of us and benefited far fewer than it claimed…

There are no doubt many benefits we have not mentioned. Actually we know there are but thought it fun to let you suggest them. So, send us some messages or comments telling us what you think… We’ll publish the best and compile a report you can read here. There are of course more than a hundred reasons we could list – but this is about what you think is the most important – it’s now over to you.

In my view the chief benefit is the simple fact that we have only our own government to blame for any mistakes they make, and of course approval for their successes .... and that can be directly reflected in our votes for and against their continuation in government. It's called democracy.

The complete exposure of democratic subversion and traitorous acts of successive seditious parliments painting us into a corner where we now stand has been the best thing so far, coupled with the fact it made them go early on their Austin power villain world domination plan which is mutating its way into oblivion. Along with the 2 party pantomime. Oh and Boris has to double down on ridding the control group before summer, let's see if he actually realises that he's getting Simon sezzed to the gallows. Wake up Boris, you must be dreaming if you believe that you hold the narrative

Having left the cost and control from being a member of the corrupt EU.
It's still not perfect but will get better.

Knowing that my MP (Jake Berry) is beholden only to his electorate - and being able to see how poorly he represents his constituents.
That the conservative party, with an 80 seat majority, has squandered many of the opportunities that have presented themselves lays bare their inadequacies and shows how unqualified they are to hold the levers of government.
They no longer have the 'higher authority' of the EU to blame

One less avenue of political corruption.
Leaving the EU gives the UK electorate the opportunity to combat political corruption on our doorstep and not have to worry about a distant (in every sense) overseeing body that has left the tenet of trade for peace for rabid political ambition that is already creating unrest and conflict on the Eastern side.
Evidenced by:
1) Years of financial ineptitude and corruption as evidenced by Marta Andreason’s book ‘Brussels Laid Bare’
2) The expected up coming Mafia Trial in Messina that expects to reveal EU corruption.
https://www.politico.eu/art...
3) Not least Yanis Varoufakis’s revelations in his book ‘Adults in the Room’ where the questionable if not allegedly illegal collusion of the EU, IMF and ECB, it reduced Greece to a vassal state. All accomplished under the EU Group who oversaw the destruction of Greece he claims has no standing in any EU Treaty and consequently a non body!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
4) Claiming legal supremacy and antagonising the Eastern frontiers in the EU’s battle for political power.
I feel confident that the UK can ‘sail it’s own boat’ successfully without the need to hang on to the EU’s apron strings.

This entire article promotes the illusion that Brexit is permanent. If the Globalists win their war, expect to be reabsorbed into the EU by 2030 under the Globalist NWO Agenda.
It takes the Brazilian Media to report the truth:
'A group including former Pfizer vice president Dr. Michael Yeadon filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) (worth reading) on behalf of U.K. citizens against Boris Johnson and U.K. officials, Bill and Melinda Gates, CEOs of major pharmaceutical companies, World Economic Forum executive chairman Klaus Schwab, and others for crimes against humanity.
The ICC has acknowledged the case and has attributed the following reference number OTP-CR-473/21....
...In this case, they claim, the aim is to “dismantle all Democratic Nation States, step by step”, and “destroy small and medium-sized enterprises, transferring market shares to the largest corporations”, owned by the ultra-rich, to give this “elite” group greater political and monetary control....'

6. James Bertram ,
Just searched the ICC website and there is no reference to that case number.
Can you post the ICC link please?

8. James Bertram , Thursday, December 30, 2021, 18:32:

Have you wondered - some similar comments under riotimes article: I think you might find the information you need there?
Good luck.

9. James Bertram , Thursday, December 30, 2021, 18:37:

Have you wondered - I picked up the article from the Robin Monotti + Dr Mike Yeadon + Cory Morningstar Telegram channel. Perhaps helps?

HYW - of help?
