Today, Brexit Facts4EU.Org looks on the bright side of life
It is exactly 48 years today since the United Kingdom became a member of what was then known as the European Economic Community (EEC). It was New Year’s Day, 1973.
Today, 576 months or 17,532 days later, we’re finally out of its much-changed and much more powerful successor, the European Union, following the defeat of a fierce, sustained, but ultimately unsuccessful and anti-democratic rear-guard action against the British people, which lasted four-and-a-half years.
This action – better described as a civil war - was waged by a cabal of vested interests including government ministers, civil servants, all major political parties, big business, foreign governments and organisations, foreign billionaires, the legal establishment, luvvies, and most media organisations. Even the Head of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, campaigned for Remain.
Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary
THIS IS WHAT WE FACED
Yesterday, however, as Big Ben struck 11pm we were finally out. The people had finally won.
But didn’t the UK leave the EU on 31 January last year?
No of course it didn’t. Voters aren't stupid. Yes, technically the United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the European Union on 31 January 2020, but in reality this was a sham and everyone knew it.
The UK was still trapped under the EU’s laws and the supremacy of its courts, it continued to incur and pay massive annual membership fees, it continued to have free movement, it could not implement trade deals with the rest of the world, and very little else changed. Except, of course, the UK no longer had any say over the laws and policies which the EU wished to impose on it. The UK had become a colony of the EU.
For most of the UK, all of that changed at 11pm last night. And today we suggest that we all just bask in this fact. A great many freedoms have been returned – at least to England, Scotland and Wales, if not to Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
History shows us that freedom requires a fight to achieve, and constant vigilance to maintain
Certain members of the Brexit Facts4EU.Org team have worked seven days-a-week for five years, without a single day’s holiday. We know that many readers have been equally tireless in their efforts both during the Referendum campaign and subsequently.
Lord Frost and his team have worked for most of this year in very trying circumstances and after inheriting a very difficult position from the previous administration.

It’s a day to celebrate!
We and a great many readers know that there is now work to be done, if we are not to “win the war but lose the peace”. Today, however, let’s all just enjoy some time with our families, reminisce about the battles, laugh at the wilder claims of Remoaners, and toast the success of a new United Kingdom in 2021 and beyond.
It has taken four-and-a-half years since we won the Referendum to implement (at least in part) the result, but we did it together. This is our victory, all of us. We are on the road to freedom, independence, and sovereignty.
Observations
A bright future is in our hands
Tomorrow, the future is in all of our hands. There is a huge job of work to do, in reasserting our independence and taking up the challenges which were previously denied to the United Kingdom under the yoke of EU membership.
A great many opportunities are now open to the UK and these will be exciting times. Regrettably there is also going to be a constant battle with the EU, as it attempts to make like as difficult as possible for a resurgent United Kingdom. And there are certainly many elements of what has already been agreed which need to be rolled back.
Overall, though, this is a day of celebration! Together, we did it! And yes, the small percentage of readers who have helped to fund our work can be absolutely sure that they have made a difference. Look out for an article in the coming days about this.
So, sit back, open another bottle this lunchtime or this evening (if hangovers permit), and drink to a Happy New UK!!
Our own future
We are unsure whether there is now sufficient public appetite to want to fund an independent organisation such as ours. Perhaps the vast majority of people will now breathe a big sigh of relief and say “job done”. We would not blame them in the slightest. If we were not experts in the EU and Brexit - and if we were watching the BBC, Sky News, or ITN each day - we would be unaware of the dangers ahead, and of what the UK has really signed up to.
When we first started we thought we would be committed through the Referendum period and perhaps for up to six months afterwards. It has of course turned out to be a much longer journey, as it has for everyone reading this. We had even started to consider covering lock-downs, freedom of expression, climate change, the ‘Great Reset’, and reforming the BBC and the schools of 'journalism' in our universities, in the same forensic detail that we have applied to Brexit.
Is Brexit now "done"?
We will now be reviewing our future. Much will depend on whether people wish us to continue, and the acid test of this will be whether we receive donations in these coming days. Thank you to those who have kindly made donations in recent days – we are very grateful. And if any of you have any rich friends, just ten of them donating £500 per month each would make the world of difference!
Quick, secure, and confidential donation links are below this article, or you can use our Donations page here. If you have never donated before, please, please, keep us going with a donation now, no matter how small or large. Thank you so much.
Finally, we wish all readers a very Happy New Year and all our best for 2021 and freedom!
Politicians and journalists can contact us for details, as ever.
