Roll on independence for Britain, outside of the European Union

As it became more apparent, day by day, that the European Union was financially fleecing the British people, via their membership of the EU, the public were given a say in whether or not the UK should leave.

A legal, legitimate and binding referendum took place, asking the British people to vote on whether Britain should leave or remain in the European Union.

Political ‘left-lining’ politicians of all parties, including the Conservative Party I may add (and I also include politicians here in Northern Ireland), opposed vehemently — and still do — the very thought of Britain’s departure from the European Union.

Certain non-political but very wealthy British citizens did too.

The result of this referendum was a majority vote telling the political leaders to take Britain out of the European Union.

This, needless to say, caused mayhem, and exposed those politicians whose apparent principal purpose was and still is, to financially line their own pockets with their handsome salaries, rather than govern for the best interests of the British electorate.

Roll on Britain’s independence, and give the British people some hope and pride to call themselves British citizens.
