This has caused huge disruption to Britain with over 1,500 lorries trying to get out of the UK and thousands of people stuck. So in this video we discuss the factors at play here, how a mutated version of COVID & Brexit have led to Britain becoming a very isolated island

It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

I’m interested in Britain and the well fare of the people of this country as we have now left the E U we face a new reality not a nostalgic look back but forge a new Britain where we can escape the slave wage economy, where people earn sufficient money so they can pay tax to fund better health care and education for all the people of this country.

December 30, 2023 at 1:04 pm
personally i thank covid 19 for making some countries to close its borders to britain, if this doesn't teach britain to quit relying on imports and start looking after itself, it can make half the stuff it gets from other countries. I dont know what will tell britain to fend for itself
china is saying we're done giving you stuff!

For more than 4 years now, the pro EUSSR supporters have been desperate to find reasons to prop up their corrupt and undemocratic project. Please don't ever stop, watching you make fools and liars of yourselves is the best medicine any free thinking man could wish for. The UK is at the dawn of a new and glorious age, just be patient and watch us go.

Don't be so bloody daft …… France closed it's borders with the UK simply because of the new strain of the virus that was sweeping through southern England, and for no other reason. Had it been the other way round, we would've done exactly the same🙄!!!

What you mean is, Britain, by being a sovereign state once again doesn't allow people to help themselves to its territory, and that Britons don't help themselves to theirs. We do this with the US, Australia, Singapore, Brazil even, in fact, every country on Earth.

If the UK covid vaccine works the borders will open again. The only thing this really has to do with Brexit people is the UK had in mind of a no deal.

Love this quote: “Nigel Farage told us that being in the EU meant we couldn’t control our own borders and yet those countries are part of the EU and have only gone and bloody controlled their own borders – just like THAT!
“Surely that wasn’t all a lie to get us to vote for an economically catastrophic break from our largest trading partner just to line the pockets of disaster capitalists like him… was it?”
