NIGEL ADAMS MP AND EU EMISSIONS TRADING

Our local MP, Nigel Adams who campaigned vigorously for brexit and said that one of the main reasons for him doing so was the EU regulations that he claimed were responsible for jobs being lost at Eggborough Power Station (HERE).

Now we are told the government is said to prefer remaining a member of the EU emissions trading system after brexit (HERE) so I assume another pillar of his argument has now been removed.

By the time we reach 2020 we will be beginning to see the results of brexit across the economy and I will be very pleased to remind him and everyone else that he bears a grave responsiblity for a lot of it.

BREXITEERS WILL HAVE TO ADOPT COMMUNIST TACTICS IN FUTURE

Nigel Adams our local MP (see right) who campaigned to leave the EU, speaking to The Selby Times on June 30th said:

"This is a bright new future for our country and our part of North Yorkshire. We've got a really prosperous future ahead of us".

However, the problem for Mr Adams is that the horizon is full of ominous clouds. Withdrawal from membership of the biggest, richest and closest market to us will not help us to prosper and in a year or two, when things have not gone well - no extra billions for the NHS for example - the 52% will become increasingly impatient. To maintain support for leaving is going to be difficult (and let us hope impossible) he and the other prominent leavers are going to have to adopt tactics last used by the Russian communists. 

The mantra will be to blame it all on the EU for their intransigence and to exhort people to be patient and work harder as the economy stalls and unemployment grows.  Then inflation will begin to eat into the value of pay packets.  Through this the Brexiteers will have to keep saying be patient, jam will be delayed until next year and then the year after and so on.  The communists managed to do this for over 70 years - my guess is that the Brexiteers have until the 2020 elections at most.  We will make sure people know who to blame.

Nigel Adams our local MP and BoJo supporter and his letter to the local newspaper on 23rd June

Nigel Adams is my local MP and a committed leave campaigner. He has been described as Boris Johnson's campaign manager for the job of prime minister and presumably was looking for a ministerial position as a reward when BoJo got the job he craved for so long.
