Firstly, I am an idealist. Ultimately, I struggle with the notion that people are not. But I am also a realist. The concept of the traditional nation-state, in light of modern technology, is dead. The notion of 'nationalism' in terms of waving flags is simply redundant now. There needs to be a vision. And mine is a United Europe. And yes, possibly run by a few people. But with a common ethos. We cannot bury our heads in the sand. Globalism is a reality. And we have to adapt to that and define our best option for how we want that to play out. I voted to leave the EU because it is crap. End of. But the ultimate expression of it is not. For the West to survive as a vibrant civilisation it needs to collectively identify and work together. And I believe a sense of Pan-Europeanism, on a variety of levels of which demographics will be perhaps the defining one, is our only chance. Otherwise, we break up into squabbling tribes who achieve nothing. Is this perhaps 'pie-in-the-sky' thinking? Then probably. But f*** it, you have to have a hill to die on. And for me, this is it. All very Star Trekian. The problem is that human nature does not do ideals. It dreams of them, but cannot, by its very nature, achieve that which it aspires to. Perhaps nature knows best.

I suspect the moment Cameron returned with nothing those people who were leaning towards Brexit made up their minds. I am confident that if Merkel had thrown him a bone we would have remained probably with the same margin. The EU has always been a Franco / German alliance which other countries have been happy to go along with. The French protect their agriculture and the Germans protect their industry all very understandable. However we are now seeing the strains especially as without our funding other countries are having to pony up. I don't say the EU will fail just that there will be more strains and arguments unless the Germans and the French reign in their selfish agendas.

But the concept of nation states is ultimately an artificial one if you want to use human nature as a yard-stick. Biologically we are designed to live in communities of about 200 people. What brings us together in such large numbers is a weird mix of avarice and a willingness to give up a certain amount of liberty in exchange for the benefits that division of labour brings with it. All I know is that the Progressive Left hate white people. Be they English, Scottish, American, Norwegian and so on. They don't discriminate on the artificial boundaries imposed by birth certificates. Remember it is 'White' privilege they rail against. Seeking to deny us access to jobs, to services, even to occupying certain public spaces based on nothing other than our skin colour. They want us gone. See us as the problem. Which is fine. Perfectly entitled to their opinion. So why are you so keen on ignoring that? Or putting considerations of nationality above that of race? I listen to my enemy. And react accordingly.

I'm not sure that I do. National governments allow for more local autonomy. They are more answerable to the needs of their citizens and can more easily make decisions that benefit them specifically. Race and specifically, the survival of the 'White race', will not necessarily benefit from a United States of Europe. In fact, I suspect the opposite. Globalist entities can control one centralised federation far easier than many separate states. White Europeans will only survive if they realise as individuals and as a group that they are now the oppressed and ultimately at risk of extinction. They need to see the danger now and engineer a different political landscape that allows them to defend themselves. We need to halt mass immigration. Halt illegal immigration, repeal the outrageously racist anti White employment policies and stop immigrant owned businesses from avoiding tax just for starters.

That particular battle is well and truly lost. This is a top down imposition. Could that change through conventional democratic means? Possibly. But the rot is now so deep that I sense it will not. Maybe damm it up for a while but the sewage will seep through again. As I admit, my thinking on the issue is absolutely 'blue-sky' and every other management speak BS you want to call it, but if my enemy tell me they hate me because of my skin colour then I have to react accordingly. People need to understand that to obtain almost any kind of meaningful management position in both public service and corporate bodies, then 100% adherence to the progressive agenda is a definite. Don't agree with concepts such as 'White Privilege you don't get the job. Our politicians might say one thing but the institutions of Goverment will do any and everything in their power to prevent them sorting problems out. Our current issues on the south coast with the illegal migrants is caused in large part by various Government bodies throwing spanners in the works to stop serious preventative measures being taken.

I was amazed when he announced that there would be a referendum as I thought it highly likely that we would vote to leave. I think he said it would only be held if he was prime minister after the next election and that he had an overall majority. I thought at the time he might even have been planning to step down before the election thus avoiding the referendum.

I thought at the time he might even have been planning to step down before the election thus avoiding the referendum. In Camerons defence, he had very little choice. He had not expected to win a working majority on 2015 and when he did, could not kick that can down the road. And based on conventional political norms, had every reason to be confident of winning it. Throw in the Scottish referendum, in which the accepted adagae of 'Its the economy stupid' proved to be correct, then he had every reason to be confident. As I have said earlier, I think the fatal flaw for him was the polling models which were wrong. Presenting a completely false picture of what the public mood on the issue was. If the polling had been more accurate then Remain would have changed tack and also the EU would have probably been more forthcoming with giving Cameron some concessions. Because the EU leaders were genuinely shocked when the result became apparent. If you are sad enough, then looking up their reactions on YouTube is a revelation. They did not see a Leave vote coming.
