Theresa May has moved beyond dishonesty to despotism

TCW
...The law she is now evading is the EU Withdrawal Act of June 2018. It is an act of many parts, but more on those later. One part effectively ratifies the international commitment that May triggered in March 2017 by petitioning to leave the EU under Article 50 of the EU constitution (the Treaty on European Union). Since Article 50 provides for two years between petition and separation, Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on 29 March at midnight Brussels time (2300 hours British time). The EU Withdrawal Act effectively ratifies that timing.      ........................
May might insist that urgency trumps legislation; the Remainer-dominated Parliament might act executively for itself; the EU has normalised the enforcement of only convenient interpretations.
However, the Remainers’ extra-constitutionality serves Brexiteers too. If Remainers don’t need to follow the law for Brexit on 29 March, then Brexiteers can repudiate May’s stupid and unratified agreements with the EU.
The EU could sue Britain in the EU’s own court for a breach of international agreement, but that would just confirm the case for Britain to regain its national sovereignty – and the best way to do that is to confirm the EU Withdrawal Act’s repeal of EU jurisdiction."

May’s deal ENSURES we will remain under the EU’s control including Commission, Parliament and ECJ as EU will control our external trade policy, all our food, all our goods, all our fisheries and all our farming. If we don’t “agree” they will put us into the backstop until we do.

Prime Minister, you will be held responsible if Brexit is not delivered as you pledged

Brexit Central

The following is an open letter to Theresa May from Cllr Bob Perry and a host of other Conservative Party activists (as listed at the bottom)
Dear Prime Minister,
We write to you in an absolute state of despair as to what is happening to democracy in this once great country of ours. We use the term “once great” as that is how we will be viewed, going forward on the world stage, if the will of the people is not implemented in full by leaving the European Union on 29th March 2019, as directed by the people on 23rd June 2016.
We understand and respect your strong desire to leave with a deal, your deal; but may we politely remind you that the British people did not vote for a deal – they voted to Leave.
When you took office you stood outside Number 10 and stated loudly that “Brexit means Brexit”. The British people expect you to honour that pledge. Failure to do so is a denial of democracy itself and you personally will be held responsible for that great act of betrayal.
The events of the past few days have shown the utter contempt in which parliamentarians hold the people. The relentless attempts to cancel Brexit by any means is shameful and deplorable. Vote after vote, amendment after amendment, are all based around denying the British people the independence for which they they voted. The mere thought that a Conservative Government, led by you, could put forward an amendment to delay Article 50, effectively denying the will of the people, is unforgivable."

SECRET documents reveal plans for Britain to RE- ENTER EU in 2020!

unitynewsnetwork
"On Monday July 9th 2018, several leading French, German and Dutch senior managers were called by EU officials to an urgent meeting.
The meeting was said to be private and those present were informed that Prime Minister May and Chancellor Merkel had reached an Agreement over Brexit. Knowledge of this was attained from the actual transcript of the meeting between May and Merkel.
1) The Agreement was couched in a way to ‘appease’ the Brexit voters.
2) The Agreement would enable May to get rid of those people in her party who were against progress and unity in the EU.
3) Both Merkel and May agreed that the likely course of events would be that UK would re-join the EU in full at some time after the next general election.
4) May agreed to keep as many EU laws and institutions as she could despite the current groundswell of ‘anti-EU hysteria’ in Britain (May’s own words, apparently.)
5) Merkel and May agreed that the only realistic future for the UK was within the EU.
The original Agreement draft was completed in May 2018 in Berlin and then sent to the UK Government Cabinet Office marked ‘Secret’.
NB This Agreement draft was authored in the German Chancellor’s private office.
The Cabinet returned the Agreement draft with suggestions, and there was some to-ing and fro-ing during June 5th 2018.
Private calls between the Prime Minister and Chancellor were made.
The Agreement’s final draft came out late in June 2018. The German Chancellor told Prime Minister May that this was a deal she would support, though there would need to be some more small concessions by the UK to keep the EU happy.
The Chancellor and Prime Minister met in Germany. Merkel had this meeting recorded as a ‘private meeting’ though the Prime Minister was probably unaware of that.
The Chancellor had the transcript of that meeting circulated secretly to EU and key German embassies.
Conclusions
Documents make it quite clear that Prime Minister May was negotiating with Germany, not the EU.
The transcript also makes it clear that the Prime Minister intended to keep all this secret from minsters, especially the Brexit group.
She wants to keep as many EU institutions in UK as intact as possible in order to facilitate an easy return to the EU after 2020.
Chancellor Merkel briefed May on tactics to force Cabinet approval.
The Prime Minister and senior civil servants were working with Germany to stop Brexit or water it down to prevent free trade and the ending of freedom of movement, but to keep cash flowing to the EU.
David Davis was kept in the dark while key EU premiers in France, Holland and Ireland were briefed in full.
Key EU heads were actually briefed in full the day before the Cabinet meeting at Chequers."


800 years of democracy is unravelling before our very eyes: Distinguished historian DAVID STARKEY on how our self-satisfied politicians have launched a coup over Brexit

Daily Mail
"But I ended on a note of caution. All is not well with Britain or our politics, I said. ‘Is it silly to think there is a touch of 1215 – a whiff of revolution – in the air?
And it came true in June 2016, with the decisive referendum vote to reshape our politics once again and leave the European Union.
The referendum was a very British revolution. And it’s been followed by a very British counter-revolution, which shows every sign of succeeding.
Don't be deceived by the lack of violence or the comparative good manners of those now seizing control. This is a coup, and what is at stake is the nature and legitimacy of Parliament itself.
Ruled by comfortable, smug elites, Parliament is choosing to ignore the ordinary British people as they attempt to hold power to account.
It is no exaggeration to say that British democracy, which stands in direct line with Magna Carta, is now unravelling before us.
If today’s self-satisfied MPs and Ministers – I have already described them as a Parliament of Pygmies – have no time for the voters, they have little time for history, either."
