We are at a crossroads and Brexit has very little to do with it

We are at a crossroads and Brexit has very little to do with it

When we went from analogue to digital connections and digital broadcasting, the options in terms of numbers of channels of communication grew exponentially. The old monopolies were no longer as relevant as they used to be become the coming of digital technology. New generations hardly watch the old television channels or listen to radio broadcasting. They have quite a few newer alternatives to choose from targetting them according to their own personal interests.

We talk about Facebook, Twitter and a few more channels. Well, they might be important in terms of numbers but there are quite a few more choices that can be even better choices in terms of reaching people we want to reach. If you don't like certain media or those running certain media don't like you because of what you think or say or write, then you have a myriad of other choices.

The emphasis put by politicians on certain specific media is not about what people say or write. It is the fear of losing control of what is being said or written. The old censorship tools no longer work and this makes the political classes extremely concerned. So they gather in Parliament or outside Parliament and make speeches about protecting the public when in fact they are only trying to protect themselves. They are struggling and they know it. Morevoer, the old channels that they control are no longer credible. Do you believe everything you hear on the BBC? No. Do you believe everything you hear on SKY News or Channel 4 or ITV? No. You learn to take everything with a pinch of salt knowing that there is a political agenda behind every news programme. Distortion, falsification and misrepresentation are the tools used to brainwash the masses. Demonizing is the strategy to try and stop people from listening to those the mass media don't like.

Forecasts based on old certainties are no longer valid when the said forescasts are issued by people who live in their own bubbles. This is why the political classes and the mass media failed to predict the outcome of the 2016 Referendum on EU Membership. They come up with the most laughable explaination of why they didn't get the result that they expected. They say that is was 'overspending in the campaign'\. They say that it was due to something written on the sides of a bus. They say whatever to try an explain their failure. Well, during the Referendum campaign practically all messages allowed by mass media were about Remain because the BBC, SKY News and others - so called mainstream media - campaigned for Remain. The scaremongering campaign went on and on and on. In spite of all that, Leave won the day.   

Quite a few Members of Parliament couldn't care less about the people who elected them and this is why we ended up with a country that voted Leave and a Parliament that is trying to avoid Brexit.

Jon Snow: Brexit is not a white issue

Jon Snow: Brexit is not a white issue

It is usually said that Britain is a Multicultural Society and countering what Jon Snow from Channel 4 News said - broadcaster that was forced to issue an apology for what the newscaster said - I can say without a shadow of a doubt - because what I am going to say is factual - that peoples of all races and religions support Brexit.

Peoples of all races and religions believe in democratic accountability and in being able to determine their own destiny.

High levels of migration affect the most vulnerable in society because the daily struggle becomes ever harder when you are competing for the same jobs, for housing, for school places and for beds in hospitals. We must be able to meet the needs of the people who are already here - regardless of race or religion. Britain has been made to cope with unemployment from practically every corner of the European Union. Plenty of people who couldn't find a job in the European Union came to Britain looking for jobs that they couldn't find in their own countries of origin.

Prostitution is perhaps one of the best ways to determine how desperate people from other EU countries have become. Firstly, it happened in London. Now, it is spreading across the United Kingdom. Look around. You will find a rising number of prostitutes coming from Western Europe, from Central Europe, from Eastern Europe, from the Subcontinent and from Latin America. Britain has become a huge Red Light District for those that - without proper qualifications - are coming to the United Kingdom taking advantage of EU Membership. Pimps and all those who exploit vulnerable men and women no longer have to worry about passports and visas. 

Uncontrolled migration is a National Security Risk, a Social Risk and a Health Risk. We have more measures to control incoming cats and dogs than we have to deter those coming to Britain for the wrong reasons.

EU Referendum Campaign:Who spent the most?

When you listen to those talking about spending on the EU Referendum Campaign, you hear voices telling you that so and so spend more and that because of what was spent the outcome was what it was. The Electoral Commission itself is at fault and having to backtrack when it comes to spending on political campaign. Here are the facts. You can judge for yourself without the BBC, SKY News, Channel 4 or any other creepy crawlies telling you one inaccurate bits of information after another.

According to the Electoral Commission itself, those campaign against Brexit spent more than a million more in their political campaigning and this without adding tax payers moneys paid to the BBC and Channel 4 which - unknown to many - is also publicly funded.
