NitterJohn Longworth (@john4brexit)The eu is in a mess but the media are not reporting it. Germany has its third month of recession. There are violent riots in Paris. Political instability in a number of member states. There are corruption scandals. The ECB central bank is not sovereign and yet is taking on debt as if it were. They have trillions of debt not just QE but also investment funds, bailouts & the underpinning of bust banks and national bonds, themselves underpinning the ECB. It’s a house of cards defying gravity- for now. The eu is inventing for itself: foreign affairs, defence & the full panoply of a state. They are China cheerleaders. As a consequence Politics has shifted to the right in Poland, Italy and Finland & others.They are desperate to suck the U.K. back in, to underpin these liabilities, as indeed is President Biden. The media should be reporting on the eu but it doesn’t suit the Rejoin narrative. Britain has its own self inflicted problems but we are now free to decide despite the deliberate punishment beating from the eu and Democrat run USA, neither of whom want a successful U.K. out on its own. We need to get tough as an emerging nation. We have global reach, the English language, Common law, are a nuclear power, natural resources in abundance, are a global financial centre, technical expertise, efficient industry, more trade deals than any other country & can grow if we want to. Only the vested interests of the blob & a spineless political class are holding us back. The future is still bright but the future could be now.
