The establishment is taking back control

Pete North • 3 February 2022

While Johnson is asleep at the wheel democracy is being erased

Should he stay or should he go? That is the question. We don’t care. It makes not one jot of difference. Boris Johnson has proved one thing beyond all doubt. The PM isn’t in control. The bureaucrats are. They will see to it that their agenda is pressed home regardless of who you vote for. You’re getting a Net Zero non-Brexit whether you want it or not. They aren’t going to stop the Dover invasion. Britain is headed for the doldrums as taxes spiral and energy costs price the poorest out of heating. You voted Johnson but you got Ed Miliband.


There was a window for a Brexit revolution but is has now slammed shut under Johnson. The NGOcrats and wonks have moved in and taken over to put things back how they were. We won’t re-join the EU but they’ll do their damndest to make it like we never left. Johnson is asleep at the wheel. He won’t lift a finger.


Meanwhile, we’re expected to swallow the giant con that is “levelling up”. Levelling up was supposed to be a replacement for the EU’s regional policy, introduced by Heath. The fact that there is no money attached to this policy initiative means that Johnson is short-changing us on the Brexit cash dividend, not returning the savings from not paying the UK contribution. More to the point, there is no economic bounce-back without resolving energy costs. Instead, they’re pressing ahead with a policy agenda which is of zero benefit to ordinary people. Presumably that’s why it’s called Net Zero.


But this isn’t just a matter of piling on costs for hard working families. This is also a moral issue. Johnson has no mandate to do this. Nobody voted for a massive programme of meddling in our lives. Johnson was elected to get Brexit done, not to drive up our heating bills and restrict our movement.


It’s not even as though it will contribute to a reduction in emissions. All it’s likely to do is drive manufacturing overseas to places where there are no emissions or pollution controls. They know this which is why they’re mulling a carbon border taxes, essentially winding back on three decades of trade liberalisation under the WTO regime, making everything more expensive. So much for “free trade”.


Moreover, it stands to be more polluting. Lithium-ion batteries needed for EVs depend on the extraction of minerals in South America. Lithium extraction inevitably harms the soil and causes air contamination. As demand rises, the mining impacts are increasingly affecting communities where this harmful extraction takes place, jeopardising their access to water. This is anything but green.


They claim it will create jobs, but every pound spent on Net Zero is a pound taken out of our pockets. This the same old central economic planning that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. It will create jobs for ambulance chasing legal firms as they dole out compensation for the misselling of heat pumps and insulation, but that’s about it.


Whether Johnson stays or goes is neither here nor there. This is what we’re getting either way. This isn’t a democracy. You don’t get a say. The 2016 referendum was the first and only meaningful vote for decades – and the powers that be will make sure it’s the last. If then Johnson must be forced out of office, then let it be for his massive betrayal of the British people rather than his lockdown shindigs.


There is only one party that is sincere about taking back control – and that’s UKIP. We’re now running out of time to save Britain before the NGOcrats and “experts” run it into the floor and before our cities become third world colonies. If you’re voting Tory to keep Labour out you need to wake up and start voting for the one party that will do what it’s elected to do.


This Tory government doesn’t care what you think. It won’t deport foreign criminals and it will hide behind “activist lawyers”, they couldn’t care less about the endemic grooming of girls in our towns and cities, and they couldn’t care less about driving you into poverty. You’re just a pawn in their game. They treat Britain like their own private trainset to do with as they please.


The next election could prove to be the most important of all. A silent clock is ticking for Britain. Each election becomes that little bit more meaningless as the establishment tightens is stranglehold on the apparatus of government. They won’t stop us having elections so as to keep up the outward appearance of democracy, but they will move to ensure their incumbency is never threatened again.


For the time being our votes still have some residual power, but don’t bet on that lasting into the next decade. Across the world, the iron curtains are going up around public buildings and security beefed up for politicians. They’re afraid – and they have reason to be. They know what they’re doing is not what any of us wants. They’re preparing to go to war with the people. We must vote to ensure we don’t have to reciprocate.


The next few years will see a ramping up of climate histrionics. They’re already bleating about the “climate emergency” because the more severe the threat, the greater the justification for grabbing powers that aren’t theirs. This is a coup by the global elites and Net Zero is their trojan horse. Vote no while you still can. Join UKIP today.

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.
