It was the day when natural and commonsense nationalism triumphed over the undemocratic, dictatorial aims of a Neoliberal elite which will stop at nothing to push its globalist agenda. With the UK sailing merrily away, bets are now on as to who will be next to jump. Until recently, it would have been unthinkable to suggest it could be the French, but with Captain Macron at the helm of the globalist <em>Bounty<\/em>, the scent of mutiny is gathering in the air. Thank heavens that when the French people finally see the light, as we did in the UK, and desert the sinking ship, Le Pen will be there with her safety net. We, in Britain, have been waiting to take our country back. Le Pen says, \u2018the world is waiting for the return of France\u2019. More to the point, the world is waiting for the return of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#15313d\">Independence Day: Freedom from the EU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the positive side, let&#8217;s pay tribute to the architect of our Great Escape, Nigel Farage, who took on the British Establishment and won . Here is his exit speech from the EU pantomime [<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_o2WupyVdg8\">Link here<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice the icy cold Gestapo-type tones as they block Farage\u2019s final words: \u201cIf you disobey the Rules you get cut off!!\u201d That just about sums up all the EU says they stand for, but don\u2019t. Have you ever noticed how those that shout the loudest about Freedom of Speech, Democracy etc, are the ones that shout you down the loudest. A case of the sulky &nbsp;EU taking their ball from the playground. Sadly, for them that is, less and less people are willing to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote is-style-default\" style=\"border-color:#13104c\"><blockquote><p>There is a historic battle going on now across the West, in Europe, America and elsewhere: it is Globalism against Populism.
