The following content must have been expressed by myself at the time of the Conservative competition for the position of UK Prime Minister as a result of David Cameron’s resignation after the result of the Brexit vote in June 2016. The date below is that which is the date shown on the document when it was copied and pasted to a different computer so losing the original date of origin which is really annoying.
The information about the English business woman and the plight of her business was obtained during the run up to the election itself on a phone in radio program. There were many such calls but this one stuck out and was worthy of quoting for the sake of those who would have us believe that Brexit was all about immigration and nothing to do with how badly Britain had been treated from the very beginning the moment that we were allowed to join the original European Economic Community. The details of this outrageous treatment is documented in the UKIP pdf called Stolen Seas.
Donald Tusk has now shown his hard balling stance towards Britain regarding negotiations for business and this had already been predicted, it is only now that he is showing his hand. He is the President of the European Council of which Rompouy has said himself is not accountable to the European Parliament.
What had originated as the EEC has transmuted into the EU which is the European Union, a political entity which serves itself to the detriment of business regardless.
Before this week it was fine for the EU to slap tariffs on the UK as part of the punishment for daring to leave the stifling and restrictive fold of the EU. The fact that Donald Trump has decided to slap a tariff on imported steel to make a correction on the dumping of cheap imports which result in the decline in the home steel industry is very sweet in terms of Donald Tusk’s reaction which demonstrates that what is good for the goose is not good for the gander as far as the EU is concerned, the true characteristics of a bully.
Since it seems that the link to the Stolen Seas document has now become elusive I have decided to track it down to save the frustration of anyone wishing to take a look:

25th January 2018
This morning it was announced on the news that Mr Juncker said that if the new prime minister was a pro-remain figure, Article 50 should be activated “in two weeks after his appointment” — but if it was a supporter of the leave campaign, “it should be done the day after his appointment”.
I couldn’t believe what I had heard and thought to myself that he hasn’t learnt anything. It is proof of the dictatorial nature of the EU representatives and their fickle diktats.
To top it off a little later we then heard that all 27 had agreed that there would be no concessions and that the single market will come at a price and it was added that the strict decision was to deter others thinking that they could get a better deal than what they already have.
It is incredible. Its as if the EU is being run by the Mafia and that the price for being part of it is equivalent to protection money. You could say that they are out mafiosing the Mafia at their own game and Juncker is playing it tough to make a point.
In fact Britain, while a member of the EU bent over backwards to accommodate its dictates but it was known that other countries within its confines adopted to varying degrees or not as they saw fit.
There is the recent story of an English business woman who had to write off a three hundred million pound business because a competitor in the EU was failing to follow the strict guidelines set out by the EU itself and so could undercut her in price. The lady went to her MEP who said that he was powerless to do anything to help and told her that she must contact a Lobbying group. She discovered that the first meeting with the Lobbyist would cost her £12000 plus a retainer. This is what British business is up against in the EU.
Perhaps it is better to cut our losses and make up the difference by not being in the single market by expanding business to the rest of the world where there are no trade barriers or compulsory fees charged for doing so. I have never been a fan of those cards from banks where you have to pay a fee in order to obtain enhanced benefits. It means that you have to spend more than intended in order to benefit when in fact you may not want to spend anything at all.
