I felt that every EU product avoided was a little victory. I did not immediately discuss it, nor had anyone suggested it. After a bit I mentioned what I was doing to others, and was surprised that they were already doing the same, all uncoordinated.<br /><br />Hopefully this is becoming widespread, and the EU corporatists will be affected. I don't feel guilty if I do buy EU: this is not a finger-wagging campaign. But just as you don't buy double-glazing from a belligerent salesman the EU also can get stuffed.Budgienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-19312092812696280332018-12-09T12:10:43.378+00:002018-12-09T12:10:43.378+00:00I've said before that the EU is the modern equ...I've said before that the EU is the modern equivalent of the Hansa League.

I rang them myself last week to be told it was a secret list.<br /><br />I think it is important that leavers stop voting for the remainer plants (often pretending to be Eurosceptics) that both main parties, but particularly the Conservatives, select as Parliamentary candidates.<br /><br />It is undemocratic for a majority remainer Parliament to cause constitutional mayhem in their efforts to overturn the referendum result when in constituency terms it was 64:36 to leave.<br /><br />Leavers can also reduce their purchases from the EU. I have not bought any French agricultural products since 1990 when French farmers set fire to one truckload of live British sheep, killing 219 of them as well as poisoning, slitting throats and dousing others with insecticide.<br /><br />I intend to make sure I do not buy any Irish goods and I certainly wouldn’t be purchasing a German car after the diesel emissions testing scam for which no company or person has yet been punished.<br />John Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368536835090304923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-24871325606443224672018-12-09T09:46:36.616+00:002018-12-09T09:46:36.616+00:00Cash is king.

We need to take away the control that those who issue our money use to hold over us.<br /><br />Attempts to curtail the banks are met with assassination - and it doesn't matter how famous you may be, they'll still have a go at you - so we know what the most sensitive and effective issue is.<br /><br />Whether it's indicative or not I don't know but I'm finding myself doing far more trade on a barter basis than I ever have. Maybe we should be encouraging this?

We've already had a taster of what can be achieved when the sales of Marmite apparently plummeted after the attempt by Unilever to move out of the UK.<br /><br />Ultimately, the revolving door between Westminster/Whitehall and the global multinationals has to be closed off. Clegg's recent appointment at Facebook is a case in point. But how we do that is another matter.

If the Tories do split as a result of treason Mays incompetence and double dealing one half of it will form the nucleus of this new alignment, together with grassroots labour leave voters and white van man.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how many tory mps have the wit and the moral stature to take the high road.<br /><br />R-w I cannot agree that a written constitution would solve our problems or even be a step forward, mainly for pragmatic reasons that we we know who'd write it. A written constitution has to be written by moral and intellectual titans otherwise it becomes nothing more than a tool to ratchet up the tyranny.<br /><br />If we were t have one it would be drafted by the likes of oily robbins and tony blair.
