In the middle of the night, great truths are sometimes thrust upon us.
For months now, we have seen the culmination of years of divisive ideas. Those who prefer to crawl into the hole, that is Little England (and Scotland, Wales & Ireland), cutting ourselves off willingly 1/15

from the rest of the world. “We can go alone, we did it before”....blah, blah.
And those who prefer to look at wider perspective of Europe, our nearest neighbours & world at large, aligning ourselves, with our local 500 million power bloc, pushing out GDP of 19.7 trillion pa
2/15

It were better if we could achieve a civilised and harmonious settlement of our differences and the so-called Remoaners have tried, without insults, to use logic and reason, to little avail. This in the face of bribery, black money and an assault on our electoral process, by 3/15

means of siphoning off personal data and bent funding and inaccurate information, Cambridge Analytica et al.

So now we come to the moment critique. Our government has been twisted and turned, with individuals lying, subverting the truth, bribing and otherwise pressurising 4/15

our democracy, our constitutional freedoms, our very lifeblood and ability to choose the right path.
We are facing government, unheard of in our lifetimes, which ignores our laws, our concepts of decency, our until now accepted way of life, led by a man elected by some 0.2%
5/15

of our national population, showing scant regard, for our laws & conventions. In short and to the general dismay of most, he is acting as a dictator, with the willing support of small clique of Altright die-hards. With mounting incredulity, we have watched our own PM, drive 6/15

a coach and horses, through our way of life, our very subconscious acknowledgement of what is right and wrong, what makes us “good chaps”.
This bent and distorted government takes blatant advantage of our dismay, our incredulity. It has a machine, with civil service backing 7/15

Its various parts are an established team, it is in place, it is in its own way, effective....and deadly.
This machine threatens our way of life, the very survival of our nation, our Union. Of course we will survive in some form or other, but we will be severely weakened, a 8/15

laughing stock, a banana republic, in the world at large, a pale shadow of our former self.
So what to do? What to do, to counter a group of mad, soulless do or die, AltRight idiots and fellow travellers, who owe their souls to fascism?

On the other side, cobbled painfully together, over last desperate months, we have a group of well meaning, loosely linked Remoaners, rejoicing under the banner of the @RemainAlliance
By the very nature of this beast, it is amateur, lacking backup and substance, relying 10/15

upon praiseworthy principles, a burning desire to Remain and little else.
Be under no illusion, Mr Johnson and his mad, wilful, law-breaking clique have declared war upon democracy, the British way of life, the very soul of our United Kingdom. With a self declared banner 11/15

of “Do or die”, they invite us, rather like a kamikaze pilot, to tie a bandana to our head & engage in mortal combat or death.
So be it. Effectively the Tory government invites us to Civil War.
We do not want it, we would avoid it if we could but there is little alternative 12/15

As an ex military man (and I am), whose ancestors fought in the Civil War, I am very reluctant to start another one. It would be disastrous for our economy & our way of life. It would cause immense disruption of our United Kingdom. Can we avoid it? I hope to god we can? Can 13/15

Johnson pull back from the brink? I hope so, but regrettably I doubt it.
Meanwhile I think the @RemainAlliance must consider itself very close to a war footing and act accordingly.😱🔥

Many will decry this message, but where is the alternative⁉️
