In 2016, the subjects of the Crown of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar were asked by the Prime Minister
at that time -David Cameron, if they wished to remain in the European Union. Asking this question was one of the
Conservative Party's planks of their platform in a general election of May 2015.
Winning that election and having the referendum bill passed a month later, the question of staying or leaving with
the twenty-eight countries of the European continent could only be officially asked after Royal Assent on 17 December
2015.
And so the public referendum took place on 23 June 2016.
51.9% of the public votes to leave, 48.1% were in favour of remaining and the over-all turnout was 72%.
With such a volatile result, the British media -who had leading up to the referendum had merely offered preferred
reasons for remaining and half-hearted suggestions to leave, went into melt-down.
Britain exiting Europe became 'Brexit' and keyboards in the News Rooms began to attach the new catch-word with
information that had been strangely hidden before the referendum.
If one peruses the hundreds of headlines from the mainstream press, it seems that leaving the group of 28 countries
or 'States' as they've become known, was a stupid and ignorant idea made by stupid and ignorant people.
Regardless of the official outcome, everyone and anyone who could appear on a television debate or write a political
column in a newspaper, has and still are, reported that the British Isles and the outlying lands will suffer from going it
alone in the world's marketplace.
Doom and gloom, poverty and mayhem would reach the UK's shores and the 48% would nod knowingly.
Businesses would flee and any trade with European countries would involve complicated tariffs and the UK would fall
away in the markets of education and science.
No doubt, the 17.4 million voters that wanted out of the pact will learn that the big wide world outside of the European
market is a terrible place, a place they once controlled two-thirds of.
The media have maintained this 'Project Fear' complex and even when discussions on negotiations take place in the
Houses of Parliament, the television news outlets offered visuals whilst a Journalist spoke over the speaking MP and
offered the viewers an interpretation.
Here's a few headlines from the MSM on the day of this writing:
'Brexit: Date of departure could be delayed, says Blair' -BBC.
'Brexit fears putting 850,000 automotive jobs at risk, warns car industry' -Sky News.
'New bid to STOP BREXIT: Left wingers launch shock attempt to keep Britain inside EU' -The Express.
'Tony Blair: return to dark 1930s politics no longer far-fetched' -The Guardian.
After the referendum, there was outrage that the uninformed public had got it wrong. There's many convoluted parts
that effect trade and business between the UK and Europe, resurrecting borders and recreating a Customs system will
be no mean feat. News-feeds buzzed with comments from politicians and celebrities who cast doubt on the vote and
how the nation wouldn't be able to handle the so-called divorce. Any anti-Brexit reference was aired and usually with an
added confirmation by the reporting Journalist.
By December of 2017, the UK economy grew and unemployment was at its lowest since 1975.
In order to keep the pressure on those who were demanding a re-vote, Deutsche Bank said that in the event of Brexit
4,000 jobs would go from its London office. In actual fact the number was 350.
The Pound did suffer before the referendum and afterwards. However, the Financial Times reported that the Pound
had been losing it's potency against the dollar since 1967 because the UK’s trade performance has disappointed for
much of this period. In other words, we have imported more than we have exported.
Foreigners pay for UK goods and services in sterling and if they want fewer British goods, there will be less demand
for the pound and its value will fall.
Conected to being a member of the European Union...? See, anyone can make vague references.
2018, the GDP is now 3.3 per cent higher than it was this time two years ago and the FTSE250 broke all records in
the months following the referendum to leave the EU. A sentence that might make the reader think that not all is dark
ahead for the small country with the poor weather, but there's one thing the media seemed reluctant to tackle.
The British public took part in a referendum and a result was acquired.
Then after politicians had finished shouting they wanted a hand in the negotiations, when the House of Lords had their
concerns aired and when Queen Elizabeth II gave the go-ahead, a small reference was made in some of the newspapers.
Considering the amount of rhetoric that had been flung about in debate programmes and commentary columns between
the outcome and the recent royal approval, one might have expected a larger fanfare.
But such ascension went against the established narrative and just like Trump's election, a decision from the masses that
had been considered under control was suddenly a reality. For anyone unaffected by the current fever of globalism versus
populism, it could be said that the last two years of mainstream editorials must have been hard-going!
Two determinations democratically reached by the public were the wrong ones... but wrong for who?
The United Kingdom existed before the formation of the Common Market -later known as the European Union, and had
held it's own on the world stage fairly well. The US, China and many other countries still trade with the EU and Britain,
what has really changed apart from the enigmatic act of 'free trade' in Europe?
Wouldn't you think that MSM would report nonpartisan information in order to show their fair-mindedness and entrap a
larger audience? It's a rational question considering the deterioration of the traditional news purveyance from the growth
of the internet.
Yet with this recent announcement, there's been hardly a stir.

Quote:THREE CHEERS FOR BREXIT Watch as MPs celebrate in Parliament the ‘historic moment for Britain’The Sun:
as the Brexit bill becomes law.
Brexiteer Tories loudly welcomed the news from Speaker John Bercow that after hundreds of hours of debate
and multiple attempts by Remainers and meddling peers to alter it –it had now passed onto the statute books.
'Theresa May declared it a “historic moment for Britain” and MPs celebrated in the House of Commons as the
Brexit bill finally became law.
Brexiteer Tories loudly welcomed the news from Speaker John Bercow that the Prime Minister’s flagship EU
legislation had been given Royal Assent.
After hundreds of hours of debate and multiple attempts by Remainers and meddling peers to alter it in the Hous
of Lords –it has now passed onto the statute books and can form the basis of the Government’s negotiations with
Brussels. As cheers rang out in Parliament Mrs May told senior colleagues at Cabinet it was “a significant step
towards delivering on the will of the British people".
She also thanked Brexit Secretary David Davis, chief whip Julian Smith and the Government's Leader in the Lords
Baroness Evans for their hard work delivering legislation which she said would be "a major building block for the
UK's bright future outside the EU".
The PM's official spokesman said that all Cabinet ministers around the table indicated their satisfaction at the
achievement of it completing its parliamentary journey.
Mr Davis said: “This is a landmark moment in our preparations for leaving the European Union.”
In a statement he said it is “a vital piece of legislation that will ensure we have a functioning statute book for exit”.
And the Cabinet minister added: “Since the Bill was introduced in Parliament last year, MPs and peers have spent
more than 250 hours debating its contents and more than 1,400 amendments have been tabled.
“We will now begin the work of preparing our statute book, using the provisions in this Act, to ensure we are ready
for any scenario, giving people and businesses the certainty they need.”
The legislation was first introduced in July 2017, and caused Mrs May to suffer her first major Commons defeat,
with enough Tory MPs rebelling over giving Parliament a "meaningful vote" on the final Brexit deal.
The House of Lords, where the Government does not have a majority, also made 15 key changes, which were later
overturned by MPs.
Mrs May last week risked a further Commons defeat over the "meaningful vote" issue before leading Remainer rebel
Dominic Grieve, with the Tory former attorney general backing down allowing the legislation to pass...'
Will the dividing rhetoric subside now or will the Anti-Brexit protests around the Houses of Parliament continue until
the sunny weather slips away? Only the mainstream media know.
