Brexit
"I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them" (Acts 7:34)
"For the battle is not yours, but God's" (2 Chronicles 20:12-17)

The United Kingdom Has Now Left the European Union
"Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of His Name: Make His praise glorious ...
He ruleth by His power forever; His eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of His praise to be heard.
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water:
but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place"
(Psalm 66)

At 11pm tonight, 31st January 2020, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
will once again, by God's grace, be a sovereign nation.

31st January 2020 ~ Brexit Day!

* WE * ARE * OUT * ! The True Meaning of Our Brexit Celebrations (01 February 2020)

"We did it! We're Out! We're out of the EU, suitably celebrated by Big Ben bonging from loudspeakers in Parliament Square. Brexiteers partied everywhere and there was of course the Big Brexit Bash in Westminster, organised by TBP. There was also a speech by Johnson and some 'Son et Lumiere' for the occasion in Whitehall which nobody watched. Those of us who couldn't attend the London Brexit Bash or indeed any other Party had to be content with watching it on a livestream ... It was indeed an extraordinary sight, a joy to behold: a multitude of Union Jacks - not on EU flag in sight. A huge crowd, singing and waiting patiently ... There was music - and there was Dominic Frisby ... And then there was Nigel, giving the last speech before the countdown. It was vintage! ... the parties up and down the country and in Parliament Square ... big and small, organised by us the people, beautifully expressed the change that has taken place in our country: Brexit is our victory, not that of the 'elites', and so we had our celebrations, organised by us, not by 'officialdom' ... 'Bliss was it on that night to be alive' - a night none of us who were there, none of us who watched from afar, none of us who partied and celebrated with friends, will ever forget!"

'This Is the Dawn Of A New Era': The UK Has Left the EU (31 January 2020)

"The United Kingdom Has left the European Union. The UK left the EU at 11pm local time, Friday the 31st of January, 2020 ... Just one hour earlier, PM Boris Johnson had addressed the British people in pre-recorded social media posts to herald the 'dawn of a new era' in British history..."

Brexiteers Up and Down the Country Party Like It Is 1972 (31 January 2020) (£)

"In scenes of untrammelled joy ... Leave voters turned out in force as the clock struck 11 ... Up and down the country, Brexiteers whooped, hollered and cheered Britain's departure from the EU. It had been three agonising years since the EU referendum and 47 since Britain first joined the Common Market. This was history in the making, and as the clock struck 11pm ... millions of Leavers [belted] out the National Anthem, 'Land of Hope and Glory' or else 'Rule Britainnia'. Or all three. It was like a Last Night at the Proms where the EU flag was definitely banned. Welcome to a post-EU Britain ... the return of national sovereignty"

Viewers' comments: "Absolutely brilliant, this is England as its best, great people who want the best for their country, proud people from all backgrounds and cultures coming together" / "I am so happy ... that the Great British People and ... UK is finally leaving the dreaded unelected undemocratic EU. A great thank you to Mr. Nigel Farage and his compatriots and all those Patriotic British people who ... assisted in this very enjoyable and memorable day in British History - remember the World Wars that a country in Europe started and Great Britain said, 'We will never surrender'; a small determined nation defeated all and brought peace and security to millions of people all over the world. I stand beneath the flag that makes us free"

"Tonight at 11pm we will leave the bureaucratic nonsense of an unaccountable and failing European nanny state ... Liberation, Emancipation, Sovereignty and Freedom! ... We have broken the shackles of the EU, we have won our independence, we have regained our sovereignty, national pride and freedom. As Nigel Farage said, we are more than a single star on someone else's flag; we are proud Britons of all stripes, colours and creeds and we love our country ... Happy Brexit everyone, you all played your part in this historical moment, you honoured the patriotic fighting spirit of our forefathers. God bless you all."

Why I'll Be There in Parliament Square (31 January 2020)

"I will be there, although I thought long and hard about it. I spent my youth in Army, much of it in Germany very close to the Iron Curtain.

Brexit Day (31 January 2020)

"B-Day has finally arrived. At 11pm today we're Out. We're a free country - free-ish, that is, because from tomorrow onwards we enter the Transition Period where we will still pay EU Danegeld and still have to take their rules. But as it says in the Bible (Matthew 6:34): 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof', so today we'll celebrate regardless of some 'EU evil', reported even on this day..."

A Glorious Victory for Democracy (31 January 2020)

"We did it. Against all the odds. Against the barbs and defamations and underhand tactics of a hysterical establishment. Against a Remainer Parliament that has been hell-bent on reversing what we voted for. Against the best efforts of Remainer agitators at home and the bureaucratic machine in Brussels to prevent our democratic voice from being heard. Against all of this, we did it: we secured the UK's exit from the EU. And now, on Brexit Day, on this day when the Eurosceptic wishes of the British people finally become a reality, let's be frank about what Brexit represents:..."

Brexit Britain is Born (31 January 2020)

"The start of a journey to being a free and sovereign country once again. 47 years of ever closer confinement, and the key will finally turn in the cell door tonight. After years of battling the totalitarians of the Establishment, yes we WILL party triumphantly tonight ... On today of all days, we are not going to pull our punches. Do we feel a sense of triumphalism? Yes, to be honest. And why not? ... Remoaners ... have made the lives of so many people miserable in the last four years, Their behaviour in many cases has been simply shocking and totally unacceptable but it's up to them to live with that. Instead, we will be raising our glasses to the largest number of voters in British electoral history, who saw through the lies of the Establishment and delivered a people's verdict. And their verdict was to leave the EU and become a free and sovereign country once again. Tonight we will see the first step on this road to freedom..."

'The movement, the fightback against [Globalism] is really underway and this Friday marks a really important point. For the first time in all my years [in the EU parliament] yesterday, I looked into the faces of those bureaucrats, those politicians, and it's the first time to me they looked beaten'..."

"We're Off!": Brexit Party Leaves EU for Last Time, Carrying Union Jack 'Home' (31 January 2020)

"Speaking outside of the EU parliament building in Brussels on Friday, veteran Brexiteer, former Conservative MP, and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe said: 'Today we celebrate our independence: our ability to control our own laws, our own trade deals, our own borders. We believe that Britain can now go forward into a future, rejoicing. For the MEPs leaving here today, our duty is done, our harvest is home, and now we're off!'..."

Rejoice! Rejoice! Brexit Day Is Finally Here! (31 January 2020)

"Today is the United Kingdom's Independence Day. As Shakespeare would almost certainly have written had he not been made illegal by woke activists: This day is called the Feast of Brexit, He that outlives the massive Nigel Farage bash in Parliament Square, And comes safe home, Will stand on tiptoe when this day is named, And rouse him at the name of Brexit Day. Yes, yes. We all have our our reservations about whether Boris Johnson is capable of delivering the full English, no prisoners Brexit that we all voted for in June 2016. But today is a day for celebration..."

Thank You, the Brave and Bold 17.4 Million (31 January 2020)

"More than three years of legal wrangling, parliamentary posturing, and rank snobbery from the metropolitan elites come to an end tonight ... Remainiac big business and political classes have, since the moment the Leave result was declared in the early hours of 23 June, 2016, persisted in doing our country down, throwing arrogant classist slurs at the ordinary folk of Britain ... and fought tooth and nail to deny us our rightful destiny as a free-trading, independent nation. But here it is ... We've been insulted left, right and centre. Racists, extremists, far-Right, deluded; we may have been called names, but we never gave up ... This evening we will be out..."

The European Union Was Britain's Colditz. How Great To Be Escaping! (30 January 2020)

"Just one day to go till Brexit! ... In his 27 years campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, Farage has often been caricatured by his opponents as some kind of Blimpish, borderline fascistic Little Englander given to outrageously overstating his case in order to whip up the frenzy of the ignorant, xenophobic masses ... But Farage's only sins where the EU is concerned have been telling it like it is and refusing to pull his punches..."

It's 17 Million "Flag Offs" From the EU... (30 January 2020)

"...in a shocking final act of hypocrisy [the] EU silences Nigel Farage, yet EU-loving MEPs are allowed to wave pro-EU banners ... EU cuts off Mr Farage for an invented offence, but allows blatant propaganda which IS an offence ... There is a serious point here apart from the blatant hypocrisy of the EU and its totalitarian and bureaucratic structures..."

Nigel Farage's Final EU Speech: Mic Gets Cut As He Waves UK Flag in Victory (29 January 2020)

Viewers' comments: "She clearly wasn't listening. He said he hated the EU - the project - not anybody or country" / "The childish and churlish response from the speaker of this parliament should demonstrate aptly everything you need to understand about the EU and their attitude to non-conformity" / "That woman just validated his whole speech" / "What a poisonous woman ... How beautifully she proved his point"

Nigel Farage's Final EU Speech

"So this is it, the final chapter, the end of the road. A 47-year political experiment that the British frankly have never been very happy with. My mother and father signed up to a common market, not to a political union, flags, anthems, presidents, and now you even want your own army.

For me, it has been 27 years of campaigning and over 20 years here in this parliament. I'm not particularly happy with the agreement we're being asked to vote on tonight. But Boris has been remarkably bold in the last few months... he's promised us there will be no level playing field, and on that basis, I wish him every success in the next round of negotiations, I really do.

What happens at 11pm this Friday the 31st January 2020 marks the point of no return. Once we've left, we're never coming back and the rest frankly is detail. We're going, and we will be gone.

And that should be the summit of my own political ambitions. I walked in ere, you all thought it was terribly funny but you stopped laughing in 2016. But my view of Europe has changed since I joined. In 2005, I saw the constitution tat had been drafted... and saw it rejected by the French in a referendum. I saw it rejected by the Dutch in a referendum. And I saw you, in these institutions, ignore them.

[You brought it back] as the Lisbon treaty, and boast[ed] you could ram it through without there being referendums. Well, the Irish did have a vote and did say no, and were forced to vote again. You're very good at making people to vote again, but what we've proved is the British are too big to bully, thank goodness.

So I became an outright opponent of the whole European project. I want Brexit to start a debate across the whole of Europe. What do we want from Europe? If we want trade, friendship, cooperation, reciprocity, we don't need a European Commission, we don't need a European court. We don't need these institutions and all of this power. And I can promise you, both in UKIP and in the Brexit party, we love Europe. We just hate the European Union.

I hope this begins the end of this project. It is a bad project. It isn't just undemocratic, it is antidemocratic.

It puts in that front row, it gives people power without accountability. People who cannot be held to account by the electorate and that is an unacceptable structure.

There is a historic battle going on across the west, in Europe, America, and elsewhere. It is globalism against populism. And you may loathe populism, but I'll tell you a funny thing. It is becoming very popular! And it has great benefits. No more financial contributions, no more European Courts of Justice. No more European Common Fisheries Policy, no more being talked down to. No more being bullied, no more Guy Verhofstadt! What's not to like?

I know you're going to miss us, I know you want to ban our national flags, but we're going to wave you goodbye, and we'll look forward in the future to working with you as a sovereign nation...

The Battle is Fierce, Friends

"Many analogies were made before the referendum about the children of Israel crying out to God for deliverance from Egypt. Well, I am reminded that after they had been released, that wasn't the end of the matter:

'and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?".'

"Sound familiar? The whole force of Egypt went out after these freed people, determined to bring them back under their power. [Pharaoh] pursued them and suddenly [the people of Israel] found they were left with nowhere to turn; with the Red Sea before them and the power of Egypt behind them, seeking to bring them back under their control. When faced with this, the people then turned on Moses as the one who had brought them out, because the situation seemed so dire; they then wanted to go back under the power from which they had been delivered:

'Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians. For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.'

"However: 'Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show you today ... The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace".'

"I don't think this was an instruction not to pray, but rather to not talk against Moses and what God had done.

'And the LORD said unto Moses, "Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they may go forward".'

"The way forward may seem unclear to us, but we know for sure, God can direct our paths if we seek His direction. Whatever people say and do in the coming days, let us pray for God's direction and for His decision to stand"

Liberty: the Battle for the Very Soul of Britain

The following is an extended extract from Battle for the Very Soul of Britain

"Nine hundred and fifty years ago, between two hillocks at Hastings, an Anglo-Saxon king took an arrow in his eye and England surrendered her independence. That was our last - should I say most recent? - defeat on home soil. King Harold's forces fought valiantly but they had been exhausted by two earlier battles ... A shrewd and ruthless Frenchman, Guillaume of Normandy, seized power and London's Witan parliament was never heard of again. ...

"I have been contemplating poor King Harold a fair amount recently. ... As a schoolboy I visited the northern French town of Bayeux to see [the] tapestry and remember a sting of sorrow as I saw the needlework images of vanquished Anglo-Saxons. It was always the same when I read history yarns about British chieftain Caractacus fighting the Romans on his hilltop and later being paraded in Rome as a chained captive; or gallant ... Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni tribe, charging towards the Roman lines in her chariot ... In such accounts, I always rooted for the Brits. ... I always wanted the dwellers of our dank and foggy, sea-set isle to seize the day. Was it a nascent sketchwriter's innate bias or inherited love of country from my fiercely patriotic parents? Was that love wrong? Is that love wrong? I still feel that way.

"The likes of Mr Cameron and his fellow Europhiles ... presumably feel something different when they look at the Bayeux tapestry. I suppose they experience a glow of quiet satisfaction that William and his forces of European integration over came the locals. ... A deep-rooted part of me rebels against that. ... I grieve for the freedoms that were squashed. And I feel just the same when I look at an castle built by English lords to crush dissent in Scottish and Welsh territory. My sympathies lie with the invaded. ...

"Hereward the Wake [a] Lincolnshire freeman ... had his lands taken by the Normans and decided to do something about it. For a few years after 1066, Hereward and his small army operated out of the Cambridgeshire town of Ely, then an island. They were beaten only after a treacherous monk showed the Normans one of the secret paths to Ely through the Fenland marshes. ... Almost a millennium after the event, I feel a lively indignation on Hereward's behalf. What a cur that monk was to betray him. What if Hereward had continued to oppose William? Could he have combined with the still unconquered Celts and Northumbrians to drive out the 'ingengas'? Or was Norman rule as inevitable as supporters of the EU now say their governing body is inevitable? As for that treacherous monk, was he a sort of Roland Rudd of his day ... the City PR smoothie pulling strings for the Remain camp? ...

"My support for Hereward may reflect a surfeit of foolish romanticism. But it may also echo enduring truths about the importance of self-determination and of remaining true to one's ancestral heritage. For what are we if we deny the past? What is the point of being British if we are not able to say who governs us? And let there be no doubt: if we vote to stay ion the EU, we will not be able to dislodge the elite that runs Brussels. They will be impervious to our democratic disapproval. They will be as safe as William and his shaven-headed Normans were in their mighty castle keeps. ...

"The Leave campaign ... has urged voters to quit the EU for a range of reasons ... Hereward the Wake ... would have heard Vote Leave talk of how we must 'take control' and would surely have thought 'I don't really want control - I want liberty.' ...

"It would obviously be good for us to retrieve national control of trade decisions, tax matters, ... immigration policy ... But where is the optimism in Leave's campaign? Where is the appeal to something more positive, more human, more ardent? The hearts of Hereeward the Wake and his 'green men' would have burned for something greater; something more essential. You could call it self-determination or independence but it is basically the right to plant your feet on the clifftops of Kent, raise your eyes to the cloud-scudding sky, and relish your ancient liberty as a free-born Briton. ...

"I think of my grandfathers. One was wounded three times on the Western Front in World War I. The other landed in Normandy - Normandy! - just before D-Day to clear the beaches of mines. They fought for king and country, yes, but they fought most of all for an idea: freedom. The days of ancestral sword and scramasax may have passed but that powerful notion of liberty, the spirit of British dissent which flared so wonderfully in the East Anglian fens 950 years ago, must never be allowed to die. Without it, we would be an island without pride, an island shorn of soul"

Norman and Saxon

"'My son,' said the Norman Baron, 'I am dying, and you will be heir to all the broad acres in England that William gave me for my share
when we conquered the Saxon at Hastings, and a nice little handful it is. But before you go over to rule it I want you to understand this:

"The Saxon is not like us Normans. His manners are not so polite. But he never means anything serious till he talks about justice and right.
When he stands like an ox in the furrow with his sullen set eyes on your own, and grumbles, 'This isn't fair dealing,' my son, leave the Saxon alone.

"You can horsewhip your Gascony archers, or torture your Picardy spears; But don't try that game on the Saxon; you'll have the whole brood round your ears.
From the richest old Thane in the country to the poorest chained serf in the field, they'll be at you and on you like hornets, and, if you are wise, you will yield.

"But first you must master their language, their dialect, proverbs and songs. Don't trust any clerk to interpret when they come with the tale of their wrongs.
Let them know that you know what they're saying; let them feel that you know what to say. Yes, even when you want to go hunting, hear 'em out if it takes you all day.

"They'll drink every hour of the daylight and poach every hour of the dark. It's the sport not the rabbits they're after (we've plenty of game in the park).
Don't hang them or cut off their fingers. That's wasteful as well as unkind, for a hard-bitten, South-country poacher makes the best man-at-arms you can find.

"Appear with your wife and the children at their weddings and funeral and feasts. Be polite but not friendly to Bishops; be good to all poor parish priests.
Say 'we', 'us' and 'ours' when you're talking, instead of 'you fellows' and 'I'. Don't ride over seeds; keep your temper; and never you tell 'em a lie!"

[Poem by Rudyard Kipling]

The Tower of Babel: EU / UN / NWO

"These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth" (Genesis 10:32-11:9).

"The Queen's Majesty hath the chief power in this realm of England and other her dominions, unto whom the chief government of all estates in this realm,
whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain, and is not nor ought to be subjected to any foreign jurisdiction"
[The Thirty Nine Articles of Religion ... as by Law Established, Article 37, quoted at source].

"And I do declare that no Foreign Prince Person Prelate, State or Potentate hath or ought to have any Jurisdiction
Power Superiority Preeminence or Authority Ecclesiastical or Spiritual within this Realm. So help me God"
[The Bill of Rights, 1689, Costin & Watson, The Law & Working of the Constitution, Documents 1660-1914]

"Parliament voted to put the decision about our membership of the EU in the hands of the British people.
The people made their choice, and did so decisively. It is the responsibility of the government to get on with the job
and to carry out their instruction in full. MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided"
[Prime Minister Theresa May, 5th November 2016]

"June 23rd 2016 was the day the people of the UK voted to LEAVE the EU in the single biggest expression of our will in British history.
On [July] 6th 2018, that decision has been neutralised and the prospect of a meaningful Brexit obliterated ...
democracy has been exposed as an utter sham. The Conservative cabinet is stuffed with quislings. The majority are betrayed"
