The establishment would have overturned Brexit if they thought they could get away with it. They tried to frustrate and delay it, using their considerable powers through the courts utilising their AstroTruf activist base, but in the end MPs bottled it. I think there was a general consensus that blocking Brexit would not only end their careers but would also set Britain down a dark path.

But as we outlined yesterday, Brexit was only one battle in a long war, and these anti-democratic forces remain deeply embedded in the apparatus of government. Had we a truly conservative government, forged in the spirit of Brexit, we would be seeing a much more aggressive war on the NGOcracy and a purge of the civil service. But we’re not getting that from Boris Johnson now or in the future.

We have seen some tinkering around the edges, and if we were being charitable we might say it’s not getting worse under the Tories (compared with what a Labour government would do) but all the same, we are certainly not “taking back control” of our institutions. The few victories in the last couple of years have been fought by private citizens in the courts. There is no leadership from the government.

The central reason for leaving the EU was that our government was effectively morphing into a regional development quango, existing to implement agendas handed to it by Brussels, in which the people had no say and no veto. Our sham democracy was (and is) an illusion. We were free to decide how and when to implement EU directives (allowing remainers to claim that Westminster still made most of our laws), but the course was locked in.

Brexit, sadly, has not changed that. We have known for some time that Brussels was not the originator of these agendas, and to a very large extent was just the middle man. It merely turned global conventions and treaties into hard coded regulations which were then transposed into UK law after our own virtue signalling elites gold plated them. This is why we see the establishment parties in a bidding war to impose even more punishing climate targets on the people. There’s no one around them to point out that the public doesn’t want it.

We may have left the EU but Net Zero is not the root command of the British government regardless of which party is in office. We will track or surpass every climate instrument in lockstep with the EU. Johnson thinks returning to pounds and ounces is sufficient divergence to placate his Brexiteer base. He takes us for fools. Nothing will change until there is an anti-establishment party in power. They know this which is why they keep smearing any democratic movement as “far right”.

When it comes to it, the establishment does not believe in democracy and it never has. We saw from the referendum that much of the remainer outrage was not that we voted to leave – it’s that we were allowed a vote on it at all. They won’t make that mistake again which is why they won’t allow a Net Zero referendum. They know they’d lose.

This is also why they’re working to clamp down of free expression on social media. Anyone who disagrees with them is an “internet troll” spreading “disinformation”.

You should have worked out by now that Net Zero isn’t about the climate. It’s about control. There is no “climate emergency”. They bombard us with scaremongering propaganda every single day so that we will voluntarily give up our freedoms and consent to their mass larceny. It has to be sold as an existential threat to justify their power grab. Covid was just the dress rehearsal.

During Covid we have seen much the same dynamic at play, based on models and other junk science, where anyone who dared to question Covid policy was branded an anti-vaxxer (even if you we’re doubled jabbed). They demand we “listen to the experts” but that god we didn’t. Left unopposed they almost certainly would have imposed an Australia style lockdown even for Omicron which is no more than a bad cold. Again it has nothing to do with actually eradicating Covid. They’ve sensed an opportunity to grab power without accountability which they will then use to “build back better”.

And by “build back better” they mean revoke everyday freedoms we take for granted, take away our cars, our freedom of speech, our right to freely associate and congregate. Each of these emergencies is a trojan horse for all of the establishment agendas, which ultimately boils down to technocratic dictatorship, open borders and global government: The eradiation of nation states and the abolition of national sovereignty.

So what can you do about it? Firstly, you need to join UKIP. UKIP is as unapologetic as ever when it comes to speaking the truth, but more importantly, UKIP understands that this isn’t normal politics. This isn’t just a disagreement over policies. We are at war. The establishment is coming to take everything you have and erase all that we are.

They’re coming for your children. They want them raised in their image – good little drones who think sex is a spectrum, men can get pregnant, and that communism is the only solution to climate change. They’re rewriting your history, editing your museums, and removing your statues. They know they can’t win unless and until they have broken the people of their national bonds, demoralised them and made them ashamed of who they are.

If we are going to take our country back and “take back control” then we ned a force capable of toppling the Tories. We need as many candidates to stand as possible. That means you. Nobody else is going to do it for you. We don’t expect to pull the same polling as we used to, but we need a show of force to remind people that we haven’t gone away - so even standing as a paper candidate matters. We are the ones will will keep the pilot light on for when the time is right.

We know that there are other "insurgent" parties, but UKIP is the one to back. We still have the national infrastructure and we are still a democratic organisation – unlike the limited companies run by millionaire playboys and property moguls. We are the last people’s party, where your voice matters.

Political activity has to be more than about getting “leaders” on the telly. We need to build a movement and only you can make that happen. Join today and recruit you family and friends. Tell them we are rebuilding. Tell them we are taking back control. Tell them that this time we are not taking no for an answer. Just tell them… UKIP is back.
