Political opinions are not always far apart

Western Daily Press, 12 July 2024, p. 16

Geoffrey Cole perhaps inadvertently corroborates the view that we live in what is essentially a Uni-party state, when he writes of Lib Dem, Con and Lab MPs finding little if anything to disagree about (letter, July 16).

Precisely! This is why, at the margin, it actually makes very little difference which of the globalist political parties is in power. The reason why political leaders like Corbyn, Farage, Tony Benn and Enoch Powell attract, and attracted, such sustained attack by the establishment is that they are / were emphatically for national sovereignty and accountability, and equally trenchantly against the unaccountable globalist world government beloved of the World Economic Forum, the UN and the WHO.

As for Geoffrey not knowing anyone who did not vote for Brexit but would do so now, we clearly move in different circles. I know many people who have woken up to the globalist agenda since the EU referendum and the Covid event, and would now never vote for the globalist EU project under any circumstances, even though they voted Remain in 2016.

If Benn, Powell, Peter Shore and their ilk had been alive in 2016, they would undoubtedly have thrown themselves into the Brexit campaign, and the ‘leave’ majority may have been even bigger as a result.
