Observations

Has the EU been able to produce any evidence of trouble? No, not a sausage

The EU Commission has not been able to produce one item of evidence showing that a plague of high quality British bangers have turned up illegally in the Republic of Ireland. In fact forget a plague, not even one banger. Not a sausage.

And even if a British sausage or burger did turn up in Dublin or Cork, so what? British food standards have not altered since Brexit. Indeed we would argue that in future the UK’s standards are likely to be higher than those on display in many parts of the EU. We recommend our Facts4EU.Org report on this here.

Unfortunately this is not a joke

We started today’s report with an old joke. Unfortunately the situation is rather more serious. GB suppliers and British consumers in Northern Ireland have faced an absurd level of interference in the normal affairs of a sovereign country, thanks to the EU’s obvious desire to make life as difficult as possible for a country which has left its empire.

Despite President Macron of France seemingly not understanding that Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, this is a fact. In response to Boris Johnson asking him at the G7 in Cornwall whether he would accept Toulouse sausages not being allowed free entry into Paris, he is said to have replied that “Toulouse and Paris are part of the same country.”

To our readers from the US, Australasia, and all other parts of the world we would simply ask them if they would accept the EU (or any other foreign power) dictating which products may or may not be moved from one part of their sovereign country to another.

To take one example, how would our Kiwi friends respond if the EU told them that they couldn’t move sheep or meat products from the North to the South Island unless they obeyed EU laws and directives?

Why are we asking the EU’s permission to move products within our own country?

Returning to where we began this piece, we would not choose to start from here when it comes to resolving the many issues of the Withdrawal Agreement and Northern Ireland Protocol (WA/NIP).

We are quite certain that Boris Johnson and Lord Frost felt this way when they inherited EU negotiations from the disastrous EU-acolyte Theresa May and her team of Europhile civil servants. Years of negotiations had produced an abomination, which the new PM and Lord Frost chose to alter slightly and sign, rather than tearing it up and facing some upheavals.

In our entire six years of existence, Facts4EU.Org has consistently argued that the only way to deal with the objectionable and bullying EU regime was to ‘Go-WTO’. On principle we could never have signed the WA/NIP.

The only option now, we suggest, is to withdraw unilaterally from the NIP on the basis of the bad faith shown by the EU and the fact that it breaches the Good Friday Agreement. The UK Government should then tell the world exactly why we were left with no choice.

The Northern Irish people are the countrymen and women of everyone who lives in the United Kingdom. They deserve to be treated as such.

Yes, 'ordinary people' CAN make a difference

Many people like you, our readers, have expressed their profound concerns about the current state of democracy and the direction where this great country of ours is headed. Brexit Facts4EU.Org continues to work behind the scenes - in addition to what you read on our website and in social media - to pressure the Government and MPs.

It has always been everyday people like you who made it possible for Facts4EU.Org to exist and to provide this service. We present facts-based research that most of the MSM fails to provide, and through that give a voice to a more common-sense approach that is shared and sought by so many people, still not being heard as it often differs from the 'party line' or 'right thing to say'.

Yes, you can do something and we hope you will. Please help us out with a donation today, so we can keep fighting for a free, truly independent, and sovereign United Kingdom and research and publish facts presented in a way you won't see anywhere else.

We do not have corporate funders, which makes our monthly planning more difficult, but it means we are not directed by a confined number of donors. We only take directions from our widespread readership - most of you very well informed - by listening to things you say.

Please support our work to enable us to carry on with our research and publishing, thank you. We badly need your help. You will not be badgered by us for more funds, unlike some organisations!
