About Peter Cook

When I was five years old, I wanted to be in The Beatles, but all the jobs were taken … By the age of 12, I wanted to be a scientist and I became one. At the age of 18 I took a job with a philanthropic pharmaceutical company, working around the world and developing the first human insulin, novel medicines for herpes and to bring the first HIV / AIDS treatment to the world in record time. This means that I bring a scientific mind, curiosity and rigour to your enterprise. By the age of 30 I had developed an interest in business leadership and began teaching MBA programmes, having completed 3.5 degrees myself. At 34, I took myself out of a paid job and, for the last 28 years, I have worked independently as a consultant, author and speaker with people at all levels all over the world, helping them to transform their enterprises. My clients seek to balance their passions, purposes and profit for a more responsible and sustainable form of capitalism in the 4th industrial age. I also help leaders digest what we call "wicked problems and opportunities", in other words, the issues that keep them awake at night, using a unique mixture of divergent and convergent thinking skills. My 28 years of consultancy experience bring a wealth of expertise and wisdom to you, in enterprises as diverse as Unilever to the United Nations. Along the way, I have written 12 books on leadership, innovation and creativity, gaining a prize for my work from Sir Richard Branson and various accolades from Professors Charles Handy, Adrian Furnham, Tom Peters et al. Over some 50 years, I have gradually combined my three passions of science, business and music into a potent mixture which reaches the head, heart and soul of your enterprise. In combination, your enterprise benefits from rigour, analytics and curiosity due to my science and business background, plus the emotional intelligence, creativity and improvisation skills that come from my life as a music composer and producer. As a musician I have been privileged to interview world class musicians such as Roberta Flack, John Mayall, AC / DC, members of Prince’s ensembles, Queen's production team and Meatloaf's singing partners for their insights into leadership, innovation and success. I am a passionate advocate for better politics and better business for a better world, fighting populist politicians and short-termism in our global affairs. I am an "HR" person, i.e. a "Hippy Realist": green by ideals, but pragmatic by actions to change the world towards more sustainable behaviour.

Censorship

Updated on date by author

I was astonished to receive a letter from The European Movement banning me from attending a lecture by Gavin Esler on my birthday today. The reason given was that I am taking The European Movement to court. It is not however the real reason.

Banned

The real reason is that Chris Hammond does not wish to meet me, in case I embarrass him about the fact that he indulged in a concerted smear campaign with others last year to pervert the course of The European Movement elections. The below letter from Sevenoaks and Swanley & Tonbridge in Europe (SSTIE) includes a paragraph that refers to me as the only other candidate. They used their own “Nationbuilder” bulk e-mail system to contact thousands of EM members. This could count as a case of defamation. It could also count as a misuse of the system or at least a perversion, in terms of data protection law. See below for just one of the letters that was written about me. There are others of an even more personal nature, but I am not permitted to share them due to the imposition of a gagging order by The European Movement.

At the time I asked the other candidate Yvonne Wancke, to ask these people to cease and desist, as we had a good relationship at the start of the election and we had agreed to conduct the campaign fairly. Yvonne refused and I can only draw the conclusion that she approved of the campaign tacitly or otherwise.

Dear Peter


On Saturday 4 September European Movement Branches
will elect a new Chair of the Branches Forum


This key role is going to be hugely important as the European Movement determines the way forward and the future relationship between HQ and the branches.
 
It is essential that this works well in both directions. The Movement needs the branches so that it can grow and thrive. The enthusiasm and energy that exists in those groups must be fostered and supported by HQ, and the groups need to see the advantages of supporting the Movement as a whole.
 
A relationship based on working closely together for the benefit of all is essential, and there is a great deal of work needed to ensure that good relationships are established and maintained.
 
This will require a Branches Forum Chair who can and will build teams that will work collaboratively over a wide range of issues. The Chair will need to establish consensus amongst the branches and with HQ so that each group and the Movement will work harmoniously towards our common goals.
 
This is certainly not a role for someone who seeks to be the centre of attention, or who thrives on publicity. It needs someone who knows about building consensus and agreement, and who can use those skills to the benefit of the European Movement as a whole.
 

That is why we urge you to vote for YVONNE WANCKE to be the next Chair of the Branches Forum.
 

Patrick Reynolds                                                       Chris Hammond

As regards the accusation made in the letter, it is true that I am taking The European Movement to the small claims court for non-payment of expenses. This is a ‘one of a kind’ claim as their youth arm were recently fined £1800 by HMRC for non-submission of accounts and non-payment of VAT. I feel fully justified in taking them to court for this and expect the judge to make the judgement, not some committee in East Kent who simply want to avoid embarrassment for their own bad behaviour. The ultimate humiliation came from the fact that I only got to find out about the smear campaign when Patrick Reynolds, secretary of the Sevenoaks branch, did not know how to use the e-mail system and sent the smearing e-mail directly to me !! 🙂 Despite what people probably think of Vladimir Putin, at least he knows how to conduct skulduggery properly !!

Goodness knows how we’ll ever manage to rejoin the EU with people like this leading the charge. One of my weaknesses is that I find petty bureaucracy troublesome.

I was looking forward to a chat about prog rock with Gavin as he is a big fan, but it won’t kill me if I don’t. I will instead enjoy my birthday on a cycle ride to Canterbury.

I had been thinking about writing what has come to be known as “Reading Gate” down to experience. I must say that the pathetic actions of the local European Movement branch and that of their agents hiding in the shadows have rather stiffened my resolve to ensure that justice is done.

In other news I find that this is not an isolated incident. Byline Times have just censored an article written about Tony Blair that takes a mildly critical view of his leadership decisions on democracy. The style of democracy being put forward by The European Movement and Bylines appears to be more related to Putin’s democracy. I would tell them, but Lord Andrew Adonis and his sidekick Richard Wilson have blocked me on Twitter for giving them valuable feedback.

Coming soon, the banned article on Tony Blair, a Ukraine update and the new book on rejoining the EU.

NI and Social Care

Paying for Social Care

Updated on date by author

There is a widespread view that we must pay more in National Insurance to cover shortfalls in social care and healthcare. All of this has been hung on the hook of COVID, as if it anaesthetises the arguments or any debate. I would like to question the notion that we must raise NI to raise £13 billion as there are many more routes to raise the required capital. In fact it would be easy for this Government to raise the capital without using the crude instrument of NI, which selectively targets those least able to pay the tax, whilst protecting old age pensioners, many of whom vote Tory. But fear not OAPs. Rishi is not paying for social care. Rather, he will be coming for your triple lock soon …

Option 1 – The Brexit Bounce

Robert Dyer coined the phrase “The Brexit Bounce”. Remember we were getting £350 million back from the EU EVERY WEEK. Do the math. That’s £18.2 BILLION every year into perpetuity. So, in one fell swoop, we can pay for social care with the Brexit Bounce, except the £350 million has not materialised.

Write to your MP and ask them where the Brexit Bonus for the NHS is. After all, we voted for it.

Option 2 – The COVID Corruption Fund

Dido Harding spent £37 BILLION on Test and Trace, much of which was either non-existent or faulty. Let’s be generous and suppose that only 20% of the project was fictional or faulty. That’s a cool £7.4 BILLION towards the social care uplift. Then there is the PPE fraud …

Write to your MP and ask them to sue the companies that made faulty or non-existent Test and Trace.

Option 3 – The Tory Spaffing Fund

Liz Truss took a lonely trip to Australia in the Government A321 Airbus at a cost of £500 000. Small beer I hear you say. But these trophy flights could help pay for the NI hike !! What’s wrong with Ryanair? Or BA if you wanted to be truly patriotic at a cost of around £4000 to Oz.

Rishi Sunak seems to have cancelled £4.3 BILLION of fraudulent COVID loans. That would be a nice contribution to the social care fund? Closing tax loopholes would make enough funds to fund good quality services not just care and allow for less taxation on those that can least afford it. With thanks to Gail Jones.

Then there are the small ticket items but yet every little helps as they say at Tesco. The No 10 wallpaper bill (£840 per roll), Priti Patel’s Eyelashes, Suitcases of wine, the Royal Yachts at a snip of £250 Million. Everything adds up.

What other spaffing options exist? Write to me in the comments and I will add your point with a credit to your input.

Write to your MP and ask them to review the use and need for the Government Airbus.

Option 4 – Brexit to the rescue

Brexit has cost £128 billion so far, or £727 per second. Although it would not be straightforward, stopping Brexit would give us access to all the social car,e by stopping Britain bleeding to death. Here’s a helpful chart to show what you can buy with £128 257 825 862 in case you have never thought of “how to spend it”.

Putin Power Play

Putin Power Plays

Updated on date by author

An analysis of Putin Power Plays by Gary Honey.

Events of the last week have shown that forecasts can be wrong, however we have learnt that Putin is determined to remove Zelensky and install a puppet regime in Ukraine. Such is his determination that direct conflict with the EU or NATO seems more like ‘when’ not ‘if’ with escalation unavoidable. There are a couple of things that could de-escalate current tensions and I discuss them below by the names given by others: The Palace Coup and The Chinese gambit:

The Palace coup – envisages Putin being removed by Russian politicians who consider his attempt to subjugate Ukraine is damaging Russia as a credible world power. He has an inner circle of eight ‘securocrat’ officers or Siloviki, profiled by Paul Kirby on the BBC website – with no evident dissent among them. He also has a 30-member security council that unanimously endorsed his decision to invade Ukraine and was televised doing so. Finally, he has a lower house of 409 Russian MPs all of whom supported the vote to restrict news reporting to the state broadcaster. No objections or abstentions on that vote televised yesterday.

Any political opposition is either in jail like Alexei Navalny or already murdered like Boris Nemtsov, so it is fair to say that after 23 years in power Putin is as secure from defenestration as Stalin was right up his death on 5 March 1953, exactly 69 years ago.

The Chinese gambit envisages Putin being offered a face-saving exit or ‘exit ramp’ by a third party he respects. At the moment Putin is only likely to halt his armies if President Xi Jinping suggests it or offers to mediate a peace deal with NATO. Putin has shown that he will listen to other leaders like President Macron of France but rejects any request to halt his military advance on humanitarian grounds.

Threats from the United Nations carry no weight because it is headquartered in New York, and because Russia has a veto as one of the five permanent members of the UN security council.

Putin would not recognise President Biden as an independent mediator, he believes the US is still his greatest adversary. Although he respects the US military arsenal, he suspects Biden is reluctant to get involved in any new European war. He’s happy to provoke NATO but not yet attack a member.

Putin agreed to delay his invasion until the Peking games concluded on 20 February so as not to distract media attention away from the games. If Xi could extract some advantage he would step in as a mediator, but the longer the war goes on the more he learns about the West’s resolve.

History shows that a tyrant or despot usually meets a violent end, either at the hands of his own people or at the hands of his enemies. For now, the West, or liberal democracy, must balance two distinct risks – the risk of action versus the risk of inaction. See also Action on Ukraine. As well as Gary’s fine analysis of Putin Power Plays, we must also consider disruptive interventions such as the surgical removal of Putin or a gradual realisation on the part of the West that inaction may well lead to World War III. Here are Garry’s 10 lessons from the first 10 days of Putin Power Plays:
 
1.The Ukrainian people resolutely do not want to be liberated by Russians.
 
2.NATO and the EU have been played by Putin for years and woken up to it too late.
 
3.Putin is prepared to use brutality in Ukraine as he did in Grosny and Aleppo.
 
4.Counter-action is needed but fear of escalation results only in paralysing inaction.
 
5.Sanctions are neither fast acting nor effective – ‘banks don’t stop tanks’.
 
6.Putin didn’t just want Ukraine to keep out of NATO, he wanted subjugation.
 
7.Rolling up other former soviet domains will inevitably mean conflict with NATO.
 
8.The UN was created in 1945 by world leaders who had experienced Hiroshima.
 
9.Those, like Gordon Brown, who have dealt with Putin say he only respects force.
 
10. China will only step in if Chinese citizens stuck in Kyev are endangered.

Find Gary Honey on Linkedin.

Read this comment by Greg Newman.

Surgical removal may just mean another of the inner Securocrat or Security Council members steps in to continue the barrage on Ukraine and possibly further.
Inaction by NATO to implement a no fly zone also seems at odds with the reality of the situation.
The bit about the Beijing Olympics is interesting, but how could President Zu be convinced to stick China’s neck out for the sake of the West?
And what of the destabilisation of Europe’s western flank, which started long before Brexit was a hot topic? Was that just a distraction, to keep European eyes looking westwards while to Europe’s east, shenanigans were in play?
It appears Russian control and command lines to its troops on the ground in Ukraine are shaky at best, and the tabletop chats with Aeroflot employees are not what they seem to be… Unless every transmission contains codes orders to various Russian-controlled military units…
That the UK shows huge monetary values of sanctions, but less than perhaps 30 individuals targeted, says more for how successfully the Russian dictator has inveigled himself into the British Cabinet and Government – 30 days’ notice is so all the Tory recipients of Russian donations, in a numbered Dollar or Euro or Sterling account in a Russian bank (no doubt!) can extricate their ill-gotten gains to the relative safety of offshore British Dependent Territories, isn’t it?
Meanwhile, a war and movement of people (women and children, mainly, note!) the likes of which has not been seen in Europe for decades is happening – and nobody seems willing to lift a finger to help stop the cause.
World War III, yes, it does look that way.

Brexit and WW III

Updated on date by author

My sister is some 20 years my senior at 80 years old. Living in Tonbridge, I have to say somewhat unkindly that she is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But she is a faithful Daily Mail reader and does the best she can to absorb current affairs through the lens of the Brexit Gutterpress. She has over the years come out with some startling revelations about Brexit. For example, she voted for Brexit because she believed that two million German / Turkish rapists were to come to Tonbridge. She did not want the imposition of Sharia law on the high street. Needless to say she is a fairly hard case for Brexorcism. Bearing in mind this background and her general intelligence levels, I set myself the task of explaining how Brexit was instrumental in destabilising Europe and how Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is part of a long range strategy by Russia to undermine the most successful peace project in the world. She laughed at me, as did a lot of Brexit Voters at the time, when we said that Brexit might precipitate World War III. Here we are on the precipice of Brexit and WW III. I’ll begin very simply with a Twitter thread which has seen 50 000 views at the time of writing.

Taking it one step at a time for my sister, Boris Johnson and anyone else hard of hearing and understanding:

It is a FACT that Russian money was used to pervert the Brexit vote. Had it been anything but advisory, it would have been declared NULL and VOID.

Aaron Banks donated £8 million to bankroll the vote leave campaign. This is an unprecedented amount.

In case you forgot, read up on Cambridge Analytica, Carole Cadwalladr’s work and The Russia Report.

It is a FACT that there are significant ties between the hard right (and quite possibly the hard left) via The Brexit Party, Aaron Banks, the ERG and the Conservative party with Russian money.

Putin got his way when Brexit was voted for. This was an important moment in his ideological battle to leaven unity in Europe.

He has also been injecting support into some eastern European states to destabilise the situation.

It also serves Putin’s agenda to distract his citizens from the COVID crisis in Russia.

With the bond between Britain and the EU weakened he is now able to enact the next stage of his strategy.

Boris Johnson has been unable to act on the problem, due to the need to pander to his ERG and Russian masters. Even Tom Tugendhat commented that we failed to step up to the plate in 2021 by placing hardware in the Black Sea. Our obsession with getting Brexit done, the need to obey Tory Russian masters and a low appetite to work with Europe after Brexit are plausible explanations of our reticence on the matter.

The EU, US and the rest of the world see the posturing of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss as utterly pathetic. Putin knows this and has actively facilitated this.

Ukraine is in the process of joining the EU. Perhaps this helps to explain some context.

Alexander Vladimirovich Yakovenko, British Ambassador for Russia reported of Britain “It will be a long time before they rise again.”

Join us on Monday at 8 pm GMT via ZOOM to consider what each of us can do individually and collectively.

Here are some bigger thoughts from Gary Kasparov. Read the whole tweet to prepare for our meeting:

Act for Ukraine

Action on Ukraine NOW

Updated on date by author

Further to a meeting of people from all over Europe, this article contains a very brief assessment of the situation regarding Ukraine as seen at the current moment, plus a range of initiatives that people can conduct individually or collectively.

Slow death, sudden death or peace?

Ever since Liz Truss allowed Putin to open up the question of nuclear bombs and mutually assured destruction, the western world has been paralysed by self interest instead of facing Putin down. Whilst it is wise to be cautious about Putin’s decision making skills, it is wiser to not be paralysed by them. Here are the broad range of options on the table:

Slow death

Allow Putin to take Ukraine or a part of it : Putin is emboldened and continues his march through Europe. Result : The world gets nuked eventually aka SLOW DEATH.

Sudden death

Allow the current state of too little, too late sanctions runs the risk of making Putin think the West is not united. Result : The potential for WW III grows a step closer aka SUDDEN DEATH.

Peace

The West unites and faces Putin down on every level. This might mean NATO destroying Putin’s war machine on the march into Kiev etc. Result : PEACE.

I realise that these positions are far too simplistic and discrete, nonetheless accommodation and avoidance by the West may result in the same terrible outcomes in the short or longer terms. That makes them equivalent. There are also wider moral and ethical questions that arise from an invasion of a country which was not an aggressor.

Putler
Two cheeks of the same arsehole

What must happen?

Every day, sanctions must be ratcheted up to the point that they weaken the Russian war machine and affect the will of the Russian people to resist. Each and every country must take some pain as sanctions are not surgical devices. If we want to survive Russia they are essential.

NATO and UN must take decisive action. It is justified and essential – Russia have made an unprovoked attack on Ukraine. They have also used illegal weapons. Ukraine may fall without NATO involvement, then Putin moves on to the rest of Europe. Write to NATO via mailbox.ypp@hq.nato.int A no fly zone must be considered again. By not doing it, world leaders are committing Ukraine to sudden death and the world to slow death. Both are death.

What can we do here in UK?

Find existing actions at Stand With Ukraine. Find protests and marches at activism.

Our own Government’s offer for refugees is beyond pathetic. Write to Priti Patel to point this out in your own way via withammp@parliament.uk

Write to UK MP’s about Russian Oligarchs to ask them to do more. Some examples of targets below. Click on this link to write to them. Sign the petition Support Ukraine.

Here is a list of Russian billionaires and their ties to the Tories. Also read and act upon Chatham House – The Tory kleptocracy problem.

Stand with Ukraine

Stand with Ukraine : Mamma Mia

Updated on date by author

I’ve put this in the order of urgency and importance as the situation requires. This update contains several items to help everyone stand with Ukraine. Firstly an urgent practical call for supplies of clothing, medical equipment etc. Secondly a meeting on Monday 28 Feb at 8 pm GMT to come up with more practical actions on an individual and collective basis. Thirdly, a revelation about our own Government’s involvement via the unredacted Russia report and finally things you can do to face down the scandal of Priti Patel’s refusal to accept refugees due to her need to play to the racist gallery. Read on and act

1. URGENT and VERY IMPORTANT: Please contribute to these initiatives to supply vital supplies to Ukranians in Kent. Find out where your own schemes are in UK and help support them:

Click image to go to Ela’s Cakes fb page
Canterbury and East Kent – Riverside Vineyard Church Thanet Way Whitstable CT5 3JQ from 9.5 pm

2. URGENT and IMPORTANT: Join us on Monday 28 Feb at 8 pm GMT via ZOOM to consider what each of us can do individually and collectively to support Ukraine.

3. IMPORTANT: Please write to your MP, asking for the removal of MPs who were / are involved in supporting Putin’s regime.

Find the UNREDACTED Russia report at Google Drive. A summary of the salient points can be found in this tweet below:

Here’s a letter you may use or adapt:

Dear [MP’s Name]

As a constituent of [YOUR CONSTITUENCY], I am writing to you to express my deep concerns with regard to the disarray and incompetence displayed by our current government.

Having read the Russia Report it is clear that the lives of millions of UK citizens are at grave risk not just from Covid-19 but from the infiltration of British politics and business by actors for the Russian state. 

I’m sure you will agree with me that this is an extremely serious national issue and need addressing quickly and permanently. The Prime Minister has publicly stated that the ‘first duty of government is to protect British citizens’. He and his government are clearly not up to the job. I ask you to introduce a vote of ‘no confidence’ in this government and reforms to our political system.

The gravity of this situation is clear. Please take immediate action to ensure the views and concerns of the citizens that elected you are reflected in Parliament and in government policy. 

I appreciate your understanding of my concerns as your constituent, and look forward to seeing my concerns represented. 

Thank you in anticipation,

[YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS]

4. IMPORTANT: Please write to Priti Patel at withammp@parliament.uk Ask her to reform the arrangements for asylum seekers. Her policies are quite simply killing children and families. She has lied about accepting Ukrainian refugees in order to play to the galley of knuckle-dragging racists in England, simply due to the need to pray on the altar of Brexit xenophobia. Stand with Ukraine.

The Future of Brexit

Updated on date by author

Brexit has failed. That much is clear. Yet exiting Brexit will be a long and tortuous process. I am asking for your regular support via Patreon, Paypal or GoFundMe to continue our full time work to put Brexit and it’s culture carriers into a shallow grave. Here’s a mini roundup of our current collaborations on the future of Brexit, some online, some in real life.  Let me know if you can help in any way to Re-Boot Britain.

Jail Johnson 

In collaboration with Prof Joshua Silver, we have a project to, at the very least, prosecute Johnson for lying to Parliament and thus breaking the Ministerial code.  The alluring sexed up title of Jail Johnson refers to the real goal of taking Johnson to court for killing 179 000 people unnecessarily for pursuing his herd immunity strategy.  We need thousands of signatures to support this action initially.  Please find out more at Jail Johnson and send this paragraph to friends with a link to the petition Uphold The Rule of Law.

By the way, the objective of Jailing Johnson is itself not the only goal we have.  Amidst some of the items in the ‘backroom’ that are perhaps less interesting to the public is Putin’s donation of £8 million to Aaron Banks which, if exposed, could lead to the destruction of the Conservative Party and to some reconsideration of our relationship with the EU.  There is also the case of the £1 billion bribe with the DUP, which again has serious ramifications.

Europe Day – May 7th

In collaboration with EU Flag Mafia, we are planning a concert at a church near to Parliament for Europe Day.  We need headline artists, social media marketing team and, of course, an audience of 400 people.  ‘Rage Against The Brexit Machine’ will be supporting the event with a 20 minute set of the best of our output from 6 years of pro-European activism and I’m planning to put together a sh..t hot live band for the occasion.  Get in touch if you can help and let me know if you would like to reserve tickets for this special event.  To support our costs in doing this please go to PayPal.

Moggmentum

We had an extraordinary response to our article on Brexit Freedoms, following Jacob Rees-Mogg’s request for Sun readers to do his job for him.  The article has reached outside the bubble and I’ve been trying to set up a Leader’s debate with some angry leave voters who seem unable to think of any freedoms they now have but who are convinced they exist !! 😊

See Moggmentum and British Life on Facebook for some comedy gold on the future of Brexit.

EU Britizens in exile

In collaboration with Alice Boulliez et al. we have drafted a press release for use with UK media to highlight an upcoming legal case.  See Orphaned by Brexit if you can help Alice in reaching mainstream media in the UK.

Brexit Doesn’t Pay – Removing the Brexit culture carriers 

In collaboration with the wonderful Adrian Ekins-Daukes, we plan to build a database of MPs who are (a) vulnerable and (b) who are ‘Brexophiles’.  Once we have that, there is a much longer job of finding leaders in their constituencies to help remove their majority at the earliest opportunity, working systematically as of now to leaven their chances of winning a GE.  The message must clearly be that ‘Brexit Doesn’t Pay’.  We need a data and an excel people to build the database and people who can reach the leaders in the areas to build teams to deliver our strategy.  It is a considerable amount of work.  We may also eventually link up to Andy Watkin’s fine work to help people target their efforts within specific wards for maximum impact.  If you can support the ‘Brexit Doesn’t Pay’ project financially, please go to GoFundMe.

Please note – This project is quite different to Lord Andrew Adonis’ barmy attempt by the European Movement to target 44 Tory MPs and, in doing so, to kill our support with the quieter rump of Conservative MPs who wish to rejoin the EU.  This was quite wrong-headed and, working together with the MODEM group, we managed to push back Adonis’ daft idea, although this was after much of the damage had been done, after The Conservative European Forum left The European Movement because of him.

Next meeting – Monday March 7th

I have not been overwhelmed with offers of support from people wishing us to build a bigger Re-Boot Britain organisation !! ☹  I’ve had four offers of Gold sponsorship for which I am extremely grateful. I have presently declined them as (a) it does not get us to the target and, more importantly (b) it is simply wrong to rely on a few people with deep pockets.  We really need 4 – 800 x much smaller amounts.  Here is the link to the video presentation.  Do let me know how you are doing at engaging others.  I’ve had much more beneficial offers to return to corporate life and I’m beginning to think that this may be my best option to thrive rather than merely surviving by doing this full-time.  We will review progress on March 7th at 8 pm on ZOOM.  I am left wondering if we really don’t believe that Brexit can be reversed or whether continuing effort is actually worth it tbh and am not someone who believes it’s worth it if we cannot get the needed collaborations. The future of Brexit is bleak if we make it so but I recognise that people are at a low ebb.

Orphaned by Brexit

Updated on date by author

Alice Boulliez decided that she would not be orphaned by Brexit after Boris Johnson made her and millions of others “Citizens of Nowhere”.  A 62 year old British housewife and farmer, living in France with two children has turned into a Brexit Avenger alongside Claire Godfrey Le Monnier, Grazia Valentino Boschi and a group of other citizens who call themselves EuBritizens.  Unable to vote in the Brexit referendum and are now united in outrage by the careless approach of the Brexit Government in looking after their rights.  If they succeed in their legal actions, they may help millions of others to gain their voting rights back, freedom of movement and other civil liberties that people enjoyed before Brexit.

“To be disenfranchised is a horrible feeling, like a motherless child. Your orphan voice does not matter. The suffragettes were not fighting for something they had lost, nor something that they had had previously; they were fighting for new rights. I am fighting to regain my right to be counted as a sentient human being.”

Alice wrote to Lord Heseltine, The Queen and lobbied people in Brussels.  Eventually, she found Julien Fouchet, who was looking to take a case to the French courts.  The case was heard in the Court of Justice before Judge Romanello.  He, in turn, sent it through to the ECJ in November 2020, having collected over 500 replies from people in similar situations.  The case has since reached the UK Select Committee on the effects of Brexit.

If our actions succeed, we hope to confirm our status as European citizens with full rights.  We also hope for both freedom of movement and municipal and European electoral rights as a corresponding status to Settled Status in the UK.

“European citizenship was given to me when the UK joined the European Union. From that moment on, I have been a fully-fledged and exemplary European citizen. I own that citizenship. It is my inalienable right.  Since Brexit, my only privilege now is to pay my taxes, with what in return?”

Alice Boulliez

Many other lives and livelihoods rest on the success of this case.  What are we to say to Mrs Page who had planned to live out her retirement in a lovely house in the French countryside surrounded by her animals, whose income was severely affected by Brexit and who is now in a sad retirement home near London?  To Mr Duke whose Carte Vitale is still not available to him and has to pay out of his pocket for health care?  To Mike Johnson whose girls who have always lived in France and who now has difficulty getting them a Carte de Sejour?  Or to the twins who went for French nationality, one got it, one didn’t?

We refuse to be orphaned by Brexit and Boris Johnson.

Professor Joshua Silver and Peter Cook don’t just want to see Boris Johnson step down as Prime Minister.  They plan to prosecutive him for his “crimes of passion”.  In other words, crimes Johnson committed from his “crocodile brain / limbic system / shopping trolley” rather than from any form of intelligent analysis and Churchillian decision-making that would befit a head of state. We want to see him prosecuted and jailed for his crimes. Click here to help.

Joshua and Peter’s proposal stems from several concerns they share, to name a few:

  • The industrial scale lies Boris Johnson told in Parliament and to The Queen.
  • The illegal activities of Mr Johnson, for example, via the prorogation of Parliament and the breaking of international law by the likely forthcoming Article 16 legislation which will threaten peace in Northern Ireland.
  • The hate crimes Johnson has committed, for example the Jimmy Savile affair which has spilled over into thoughtless behaviour on the streets of London.  As mentioned in Parliament on 09 Feb 2022, Johnson’s “careless whispers” contributed to the deaths of Jo Cox and David Amiss.
  • The crimes Johnson has committed against the people, through unprecedented Brexit lies which will ruin future generation’s lives and livelihoods.  This, in the wake of the recent revelation that the only Brexit benefits are in “Great British Queues”.
  • Mr Johnson’s wilful approach to herd immunity, which has cost the lives of 179 000 people unnecessarily, when there were other political choices open to the Cabinet, rather than using care homes as COVID mortuaries.

If you agree, please sign, share and support this project by Professor Joshua Silver and myself.

If we succeed, it will be the first time that the people have prosecuted a Prime Minister. This is not a pipedream. It is a well-researched project that could succeed, with sufficient backing. 

Sign, Share across all social media.  E-mail or message at least 10 people and ask them to do the same.  Deliver us from Johnson. Click on the image and / or the press release to Jail Johnson.

A Letter

Updated on date by author

Write a letter to your MP. Here is one prepared by Adrian Ekins-Daukes recently to help you compose yours. Find your MPs e-mail at Write to Them.

Dear Sir / Madam,

 

We would like to add our names to those of your constituents who have written to you asking that you write to the Chairman of the 22 Committee about the illegal parties held at No 10 during lockdown and the future of the Prime Minister.

These  illegal  parties were a criminal offence, for which heavy fines were imposed on ordinary miscreants. It was  scandalously offensive  that such an event should have taken place on the eve of Prince Phillip’s funeral service . We do not need a report from a civil servant to conclude that Johnson was aware of these activities, and may well have attended them.  No 10 as a whole has set a disgraceful example. Those of Johnson’s  supporters arguing for a second chance for him need reminding that Health Secretary Hancock had to resign at once for kissing his mistress on office premises, a much less visible breach of rules.

In Johnson’s defence, his supporters point to his record, notably the excellent vaccine roll-out in early 2021. Against that, due to his mismanagement of the pandemic in other respects, our death toll from the pandemic  was amongst the highest in the world and has remained higher than in other comparable European countries. He also bears responsibility for No 10’s corrupt practices, notably in PPE procurement, the likes of which we have not been seen for over 150 years. More widely, he seems to have no clear ideas for economic recovery, whilst Internationally  Britain’s influence is barely noticeable.  Johnson’s  reputation for untrustworthiness seems beyond redemption.

With such a record,  Johnson has nothing more to offer this country. With this latest scandal, his removal from office is not only  fully justified but essential .

Yours sincerely

YOUR NAME

You may also care to write a letter about the Police and Crime bill, Brexit carnage and other topics too numerous to mention. Just write. Letters are read even if your MP may have to pretend they have not read them. In case you have been bamboozled by Johnson’s record, there is an account of it embedded in this video. In case you think that asking the army to drown children at sea is clever, video number two explains the problem. Just write a letter.

Join us at our summit event to Re-Boot Britain on Monday January 31 at 8 pm via zoom. Please RSVP to peter@humdyn.co.uk
