Happy Brexodus

[David Kent]

Today is Independence day for the UK.

Who better to celebrate it that Vera Lynne, the forces favourite during WW2, and what better than Land of Hope and Glory?
A bit of European with the Dutch introduction.

So what changes now that the UK is out of the EU?

We won't notice much at the beginning as we have a transition period till the end of the year.

Our fishermen are hoping that they will be able fish our own waters without having to keep to European quotas,which is just one of the crazy rules. If a boat catches more than its quota of any type of fish, they have to throw it back, which is crazy because the fish die and the sea birds have a feast.

My friend is pastor of the Fisherman's Mission Baptist Church in Wick, in the North of Scotland. It was formed as the Fisherman's Mission and the fishermen sailed all down the east coast of Scotland and England and some were converted to Christ and the Mission was formed. Their wives followed them and processed the herrings in the harbours. They spread the Gospel all over the north of Scotland and East coast. Then the European Common Fisheries Policy arrived and the fishermen were no longer able to make a living and moved away, the mission was about to close, but a few ladies kept is going as a Baptist Church.

Then recently my friend Gilbert who had been a missionary in the Phillipines, returned to retire in the UK and was offered a pastorate at Wick, on the north coast of Scotland.

Here is Nigel Farage on his last day at the European Parliament giving a guided tour of the building.

Just shows only one of the many ways the EU have been wasting our money.

What a wonderful song!
After 47 years of negativity, and outspoken prophets of doom from successive governments, finally the message of encouragement came through.

Thank God for Nigel Farage, UKIP, and the Brexit party, for consistently proclaiming the truth about this country.
Thank God for the little men and women in this country, who spread encouragement, countering all the doom from Europhiles and Remainers.
Thank God for all the intercessors who didn't stop praying for a change of heart in the nation.

During our darkest hours of WW2, when badly wounded, Britain stood alone against tyranny, it was songs of encouragement like this that built up the spirit to fight.

Those who wanted to defeat Brexit always clamed the Referendum vote was close. However when someone asked a politician, before the referendim, what was the margin needed to win, he said "One vote." The actual margin was about 1.4 million, the biggest margin in our history. If the remain had won by one vote, I expect that would have been the end of the debate.

Well, it was easily the closest referendum result in UK history.

However when someone asked a politician, before the referendim, what was the margin needed to win, he said "One vote." The actual margin was about 1.4 million, .

Actually, it was 1.27 million. A margin of 3.8%.

the biggest margin in our history.

That's not even remotely true. Either in number of votes or voting margin:

In the original 1975 referendum on whether to stay in the EU or not, 67.2% of voters said yes, a margin of 8.9 million votes.

In the 1931 election - when the total electorate was just 16.5 million compared to 46.5 million for the Brexit vote - the Conservative party won by just over 5 million votes, with a margin of 24.4%.

In the 1945 election, when the total electorate was 29.12 million, the Labour party won by 3.25 million votes with an 11.5% margin of the popular vote
In the 2001 election, Labour won by 2.37 million votes
In the 2015 election, the Conservatives won by 2.01 million votes
In the 2010 election, the Conservatives won by 2.09 million votes
In 1959, the Conservatives won the vote by 1.59 million votes

and so on and so on and so on....


But never let the truth get in the way of a good story, right?

I thought it was 1.2m but someone on TV recently said it was 1.4m. Anyway it was 1.27million times one.
