Rob Groves: Could This Be the End of Brexit as We Know It?

Dec 14, 2024 | Donald Trump’s re-election is already having a massive impact all over the world, and post-Brexit Britain faces a moment of reckoning when Napoleon Bona-spur’s America First philosophy is implemented by way of trade tariffs and foreign policy. And within the UK, the Brexit tide had already turned, just weeks after that fateful advisory referendum in 2016. But now, the public mood has shifted even FURTHER, with a clear majority now wanting European freedom of movement back, now they’ve seen Brexit do the exact OPPOSITE of what it said on the tin, by INCREASING immigration into the UK.

The Labour government is struggling to put forward a coherent policy on Brexit, and questions about rejoining the EU loom, even coming from previously pro-Brexit voices. Can it be that the UK is ready to attempt to end its self-imposed cultural exile and to try to undo the trade sanctions 52% of its electorate voted to impose on themselves?

Truth To Power: Why Elon Musk Is So Dangerous to Democracy

Nov 2, 2024 | The world’s richest man appears to be getting further and further out of touch with sanity every time he appears in public. But from his on-going attacks on the British government, his blatant promotion of hate speech through doctored algorithms on X (formerly Twitter), his financial interference through vote buying in the US elections, and his full-throated support for Donald Trump and the “Make America Great Again’ movement, Elon Musk appears to be not just the richest, but also most politically influential man on the planet.

Voters Are SICK of Politicians LYING about BREXIT

Sep 23, 2023 | According to the polls, the vast majority of the British electorate have now seen through the Brexit delusion. They realise that far from taking back control, we’ve transformed from being a rule-MAKER WITHIN the EU, to being a rule-TAKER OUTSIDE the EU, having to comply with EU rules in order to trade with the massive economic bloc on our geographical doorstep - but no longer having any say in those rules. The public have realised this, so why are the government and the official opposition still LYING about the true consequences of BREXIT?

Truth To Power: Brexit Based on LIES Makes "Rejoining" Impossible

Aug 12, 2023 | Anuerin Bevan, the Labour Health Minister instrumental in setting up both the National Health Service and the modern welfare state, said this in 1944. Nye Bevan’s words nearly 80 years later even now seem fresh, pertinent and contemporary, and equally so when applied to Brexit.

The great man’s quote, adapted, here:

“Honest politics and Brexit politics are contradictions in terms. Lying is a necessary part of a Brexitist’s political equipment, for it is essential for him to conceal his political intentions from the people. This is partly the reason for his success in getting and keeping Brexit.”

The political intentions of your Nigel Farrages and Jacob Rees-Moggs, your Boris Johnsons and Rishi Sunaks have nothing to do with the well-being of the country or the well-being of deluded voters who backed their Russia-funded, dishonest and law-breaking Leave campaign, and everything to do with burnishing their own wealth and/or political prospects.

The Massive Tide of British Nationals Leaving Brexit Island

Jul 15, 2023 | As the UK suffers the economic and cultural consequences of the failed Brexit project, we heard this week that the rich and powerful are spending a proportion of their wealth to effectively buy EU citizenship by investing millions of euros in certain EU member countries.

As always in Tory Britain, it’s one rule for us and another rule for them. Thanks to Brexit, most of us without the necessary ancestry have had our rights to live, work and retire in 27 other countries taken away from us. But if you’re rich and powerful, it’s not a problem, just invest some of your spare change within the EU, and you’ve bought yourself back all those freedom of movement rights that the Brexit referendum took away from most of us. But perhaps even more importantly, the post-Brexit brain drain is now next level..


The Tories, the bastards, have robbed us of our full rights as EU citizens and have made us subjects of the king instead. Wow! What a trade off already! It is to be hoped that Wales and Scotland will secede from this Union and join the European Union as independent countries asap. Westminster has little to offer either the Scots or the Welsh. – © Mark Alexander

Truth To Power: The 7-Year Brexit Itch: A Radical Shift In Public Sentiment

Jun 24, 2023 | This week saw the 7th anniversary of that fateful advisory referendum asking a Yes/No question on an extremely complex issue that most of the electorate had very little understanding of. They didn’t realise they were voting to enforce a customs border down the Irish sea. They didn’t know they were voting to end their own right to work and live in 27 other countries. it didn’t occur to them that they were voting to erect barriers to trade between Britain and the rest of Europe - not to mention within the UK itself. But we’ve had enough of experts, they were told, and once that lie was firmly embedded in the brains of 52% of the population, they were easily convinced to vote against their own interests by a combination of jingoism, lies, and a law-breaking Leave campaign financed with Russian money. Where has that led us to on the 7th birthday of the fateful vote?

Truth To Power —Londongrad: How Russian Oligarchs Shape British Politics

Apr 15, 2023 | Back in the last century, when the sun was finally setting on Britain's empire, some of the oligarchs of the day came up with a cunning plan. Using certain so-called British Overseas Territories, for example the Cayman Islands, as tax havens for their ill gotten gains. But it wasn’t just the oligarchs of empire, investing their riches made on the backs of indigenous populations all over the world, oh no! Even if you were a common or garden criminal, a corrupt business tycoon, a drug trafficker, or just a run-of-the-mill fraudster, then Britain was your friend. The City of London became the world’s global money laundromat, and Brexit has relaxed regulations even further. And who has the most money to hide over the past few decades. Which country has the highest number of gangsters and unscrupulous businessmen in need of the services of so-called "Londongrad"? The answer of course is Russia.

Truth To Power: How Brexit Ensured Britain's Descent into Chaos

Nov 5, 2022 | In the summer of 2016, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and the former Labour MP Gisela Stuart contributed to an article in the Sun newspaper which claimed that Brexit would mean that The following year, Jacob Rees-Mogg added to that list, by claiming that leaving the EU would mean much cheaper food, and increase people’s disposable income. It’s quite clear now, in 2022, that those claims were all either downright lies or, alternatively, incredibly stupid and ignorant. In this video, I’ll be looking at the latest consequences of the failed Brexit experiment, including the rhetoric surrounding immigration, and how the broken promises and wild claims from Brexitist politicians have caused the general toxicity of this government.

Truth To Power: Sunak's Coronation Is Doomed to Failure

It has got to the point with me that I would trust Brussels to rule over me rather than Westminster. Now that is saying something! Why do I say that? Because Brussels has a good track record of looking after ordinary people. Westminster does not. – © Mark Alexander
