Don't Believe the Remoaners!

Here's hoping things improve for 2023

As we begin another year, we can hope and pray that things will improve - or we can tell Rishi to get on with it. The UK has been hit hard by global events, such as the pandemic, the Russia Ukraine war and now we have the strikes. Add to that mix, the unwinding of the Bank of England’s Quantitative Easing (QE) response to the 2008 credit crunch.

Most other countries, especially the developed ones around the world, have also been hit just as hard as we have. But the usual suspect Remoaners are trying to convince you, that the UK is in an economic downturn bubble all of its own - and that it’s all down to Brexit!

All you have to do is use your favourite search engine to find out the real truth. When Remoaners say UK car production is down due to Brexit for example, just look at the drop in German and US car production in the last few years.

When they talk about shortages of healthcare professionals, just search and you will find it’s a global problem. Yes, there is global shortage of doctors and nurses. In fact, the NHS, in its quest to become the most ‘diverse’ organisation on the planet, leaves the elderly and vulnerable in other countries without access to healthcare professionals, as we use the UK cheque book to buy their doctors and nurses in, instead of training our own.

There are many reports from around the world that developed countries are finding it harder to obtain enough workers and those other countries, for the most part have higher unemployment levels than us, especially at the youth level.

Also other developed countries are now facing up to the need to reform their pension systems to account for an ageing population, it’s not just the UK.

Workers are striking around the world for better pay in the face of rising inflation. It’s not just the UK.

Now, what Brexit has given us, is the ability to forge our own way - but at present we are still hampered by the Northern Ireland Protocol and the inability or unwillingness of this Tory government and the wider establishment to grasp the nettle and do what is required to bring Northern Ireland back fully into the UK fold. The government also refuses to get on with reforms, that would free the City of London for example, to really make its mark on the international stage.

While Rishi Sunak does a go-slow over the clearing out of unnecessary retained EU law. It is clear that Westminster is doing all it can to keep a muzzle on the UK preventing it from exercising its freedoms and the only reason for that would be, if they intend to wind us back in, bit by bit, under EU control once more.

This we cannot allow!

The Father of BREXIT Dies

by Stuart Gulleford • 11 September 2024

Jeffrey Titford 24.10.1933 – 09.09.2024 Jeffrey Titford, the former Leader of the UK Independence Party and two term MEP for the East of England, has passed away, after suffering from cancer. His family announced his death on 10 th September, aged 90. Jeffrey was one of the fathers of Brexit, coming to the fore in national and international politics at a time when leaving the EU was considered unthinkable and long before it became official Conservative Party policy. A visionary and a democrat, who did not believe that EU membership provided a viable future for Britain as an independent, self-governing nation, Jeffrey Titford was elected to the European Parliament at the 1999 European Parliamentary Elections, aged 63. He was one of three UK Independence Party MEPs elected, which sent shock waves through the political world. He became Leader of the Party in 2000 and served for three years bringing stability and respectability to its campaigns. During this period, he made seventy speeches a year, travelling all over the country. He also served as interim Leader from September to November 2010, following the resignation of Lord Pearson of Rannoch, while the election of a new Leader was held. During his time in the European Parliament, he made dozens of speeches in Plenary session severely criticising the EU and particularly the level of fraud in its finances. He also extensively lobbied the European Commission and the Government in Westminster on behalf of the British fishing and farming industries. He led several delegations of fishermen to see UK Agriculture Ministers in Westminster and also took a delegation to meet the European Commissioner for Fishing in Brussels. He wrote monthly columns for the East Anglian Daily Times, the Hertfordshire Mercury and Farmers Guide and made many appearances on regional television. He also made a guest appearance on Breakfast with Frost. Jeffrey Titford’s political career began in 1970, when he became a Councillor on the Clacton Urban District Council. He ended his association with the Conservative Party in 1992, in protest over Prime Minister John Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty. He joined Sir James Goldsmith’s Referendum Party and, in a sign of things to come, stood in the General Election of 1997 in Harwich when he was the Party’s most successful candidate, securing almost 10 per cent of the vote and, in the process, unseating the sitting Member of Parliament. Following the death of Sir James Goldsmith, Jeffrey was invited to join the UK Independence Party (UKIP), where he established a branch in Clacton and a regional committee, which led to his successful campaign in the European Elections in 1999. He paved the way for Nigel Farage’s subsequent success in Clacton at the 2024 General Election. He was re-elected to the European Parliament in 2004, with a greatly increased share of the vote and UKIP also returned a second MEP. He retired from European Politics in 2009 and was made an Honorary Patron of the Party in 2006 and became President for Life in 2011. Life before politics Following National Service in the RAF, Jeffrey joined the family’s funeral directing business in 1956, where he had a 35 year career, during which he served for 12 years on the National Association of Funeral Director’s (NAFD) National Executive and rose to National President in 1975-76. He was instrumental in developing an official code of practice for the funeral profession, at the request of the Office of Fair Trading. He also successfully campaigned for funeral directors to have the right to sell a package funeral and carried out the first review of the practice manual for funeral directing, which led to the creation of a formal qualification for funeral directors, recognised by the NAFD. He sold the company in February 1989 and retired from the profession. An enthusiastic Rotarian, Jeffrey served as President of the Clacton and later Frinton Rotary Clubs. He also belonged to the Clacton Operatic and Clacton Dramatic Societies, taking lead roles in both companies. However, his most successful hobby was rally driving. He was a leading light in the Clacton Motor Club in the early seventies for whom he was the regional rally champion for six consecutive years. Jeffrey Titford was a devoted family man and is survived by his wife Margaret, one son, three daughters, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
