It is all there in the public domain and Leave had less than half the funds of the Remain campaign.

As far as the documentaries they produce, I found more information about the workings of the EU in hour long documentaries last year than in all the coverage by our own media. The disgusting Fair Trade/African farmer situation was discussed and shown in detail on RT last year. Long before it was being discussed by the establishment in this country. The Olympic punishment of Russian athletes has also been shown to be a vindictive move by the USA in particular.
What really interests me now, is how the government are going to deal with the much known and discussed affairs of George Soros and his Open Foundation. Again the bloggers and citizens have suspected and known about this sinister man for years. However, they were called conspiracy theorists by the establishment, until now, when he has finally crawled out of the woodwork. Will we get a government coverup? Or will we get an independent investigation. I suspect neither. The government will just ignore the stories and hope it goes away. Fortunately people in today’s world will always have the means of finding out the truth, even if there is a media block or indeed a move to suppress free speech.

I have campaigned for many years and have actually seen youngsters becoming less astute at what goes on around them. They have the internet, they have lots of good ideas and they have strong opinions (often formed through group thinking). But they are on the whole idealistic. Unlike those people who came from school at 16yrs old who worked, budgeted and saved their money. Those youngsters are still there today but are fewer than 30yrs ago.
I did a spot of campaigning in colleges a few years ago and was quite surprised how many youngsters felt, even then, that pensioners were ‘too rich’, that everyone should own a home by 25yrs old. When asking them how they came to the conclusion that pensioners were too rich, there was an overwhelming consensus that pensioners had lived their lives and didn’t have the needs of younger people or families. Not one student understood that many pensioners still had a lot to give to their community and were often the carers of other old people and indeed the carers of grandchildren so that women of today had the choices that their mothers and grandmothers never had. That pensioners had often worked longer years than many people would today and had to struggle far more than many would do in the future. It was a sad fact that so many students didn’t even have a strong connection with a grandparent.

On top of that those UKIP members who came from the labour ranks would never vote conservative so along with labour constituencies who were led to believe that Jeremy Corbyn would also honour their vote they decided to return to the fold. This means that 85% of the electorate were expecting to leave the EU. No hard or soft, just leave the EU and its inherent institutions. Neither the conservatives nor labour have held to that promise. They are now both seen as betraying the will of the people. To this end it would not rely on the Conservatives even getting close to winning the next election whether TM is still leader or not.
Everyone who runs the polls or listens to advisers never bothers to take in to account the silent majority. Polls have been losing credibility for a number of years. The Conservatives just do not listen to anyone outside London. Even labour front bench are full of MPs who live and work in London and never set foot outside the M25 circle. They have no respect for the country and no desire to reach out. We have millions of people without a voice. Unless the conservatives start to realise they mistakes and stop chasing the left leftwards and concentrate on building the country, put in place a true conservative as leader. Not the likes of Rudd, Hammond or Soubry. The Conservatives are going to get another nasty shock.

The globalists and the big international companies have created this unfair and totally unnecessary situation because they want to control movement of money and people. They lobby governments to do their bidding and in changing the laws they can buy out or stop new businesses from developing. We have high streets full of international shops selling the same produce, many with foreign workers serving the community. These workers are often on the worst possible wage while the international companies do not register their tax in this country. Our own people cannot get work because of our wage laws.
Years ago people worked for small and medium companies and if they wanted the luxuries in life or indeed in some cases to pay for extra heating in the winter, they took on another job. Today we expect to have one job to pay for our families. The lobbyists have upset the natural order of working to such an extent that many families need both parents to work. This means children are handed to strangers to be cared for. It means the family breaks down and people become unhappy. The country becomes demoralised because taxes rise higher, the lobbyists want the living wage raised, then they can charge more for their product and make bigger profits whereby they avoid the tax. Sometimes they will move their workers around in case they become eligible for the living wage.
It is a vicious circle that could so easily be avoided if governments stopped the lobbying, chased their tax avoiders and then encouraged small and medium businesses to invest in their local people. The market would readjust and start to work for the ordinary person. We wouldn’t need food banks or the heavy welfare bill. Unfortunately we are now learning that many of these large globalists are actually paying Governments in return for favours. Soros is a known meddler in the safety and stability of countries. He apparently visits Juncker on a regular basis. We know he had a close relationship with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. This is the tip of the iceberg and someone at some point needs to grasp the nettle and pull it by its roots.

The UK for crying out loud is the fifth biggest economy in the world with many leading sectors. Why do the politicians have to create so much confusion. Why don’t they understand it is not they who lead the country to prosperity, it is our young entrepreneurial businesses. They need to be given support, not tied to regulatory frameworks.
I think the country is now seeing an overbloated bureaucracy that has lost the ability to listen to the right people. They make poor decisions and will run this country into a brick wall unless they become more co servatve and less socialist.
