A vision for a Better Britain

Updated on

14/05/2026 by author

I’ve prepared this vision in advance of a leaders’ debate on Tuesday May 26 via ZOOM from 19.00 – 20.30 hours with someone who still believes that Brexit was a good idea. Please mail me to join this major event via reboot@brexitrage.com Thanks to Celia Morris, Sean Hodges, Klara Goldy, Robert Anthony, Greg Newman, Tessa Tiley and Helga Perry for their help in compiling this list. To support our costs in running the event please go to SUPPORT US.

For an amusing aside to one of the many failed attempts to get a Brexit supporter to attend, see our private e-mail exchanges with Steve Horton, leader of “Logical Politics”, a group which aim to bring the far right into a harmonious fighting corp, including the BNP, who may as well be described as a proscribed terrorist organisation. Anyway, on with the positive vision.

A better Britain in a better Europe for a better World

I want to live in a country where I can drink clean water, eat fresh food and embrace the diversity of British culture, from curries to chips, chops, kebabs, chinese and way beyond.

I want to welcome strangers here and help them contribute to society.

I want to be friends with our European cousins and remove all the social, political and legal barriers created by Brexit.

I want to live without fear of losing my human and workers’ rights and extend this courtesy to all who visit our country.

I want Britain to be a gold standard bearer for upholding the rule of law.

I want to live in a country with leaders who respect our environment and the welfare of the other species who share it with us.

I want to Rejoin the EU fully, not a bundle of half measures.
I want freedom with responsibility not freedom to hurt others.

I want to push back on bullies. This is not who we are.

I want Britain to lead the way on measures to combat climate disaster.

I want Britain to put vulnerable people first. The elderly, children and the infirm.

I want to know that timely and effective treatment for any ill, condition or ailment that befalls me is conveniently available, freely and without delay, anywhere in the land.

I want a fair wage for a decent day’s work and worker’s rights that match those offered to workers in Europe.

I want women to be treated fairly based on knowledge, skills and experience rather than patronised or sidelined.

I want Britain to get back on the road to sustainable growth.

I want a sustainable energy sector that is the property of the people, not shareholders.

I want a transport network that works for the people, not for profit takers, and one that helps us reduce our addiction to the infernal combustion engine.

I want our politics to be inclusive via the setting up of citizens’ assemblies and other hallmarks of a participative democracy.

I want my vote to count more than it does currently in our broken electoral system.

I want our children to be able to live, love and work in Europe freely.

I want Britain to develop food security, something we have gradually lost since WWII.

I want to live in a country that celebrates the arts, maintains our artistic heritage and invests in our artistic and cultural future.

I want us to put education to help people learn continuously, become emotionally literate and decode truth from misinformation to be at the heart of British culture.

I want a health service that is free to all at the point of use.

I want our Government to take action on large enterprises who do not pay their fair share of tax.

I want Britain to lead in technology, science, hard and soft engineering and AI, but not be slaves to machine learning.

I want to live in a country where respect for every generation is a virtuous circle.

I want our police to be more interested in preventing and dealing with serious crime rather than acting as tax collectors for the government.

I want people who go to prison to come out better than when they went in.

I want immigrants to experience our culture and feel so welcomed and inspired by it that they willingly choose to embrace it and become British.

I want a country that celebrates all faiths.

I want social cohesion to be actively cultivated through integration, participation, shared education, and communities that genuinely mix rather than live separately alongside one another.

I want investment put back into Britain’s towns, services, infrastructure, education, and communities so people feel there is stability, dignity, and opportunity again.

April Brexit Fools

Updated on

02/04/2026 by author

Peter Cook

Well, it’s not April Fools’ Day, so you’ve already fallen into my trap … Nonetheless, the tomfoolery of Trump and Brexit continues in a world where its increasingly hard to know the difference between fact, fiction and fantasy. Here’s a sobering update on world events from our continuing activism. To help support our costs and further actions via lobbying MPs and so on please send us a tip via SUPPORT US.

Our work in world media

Dubai TV called for our views on Keir Starmer’s recent pivot towards Europe. Here is our video plus some out takes we made to prepare for the interview which was done at very short notice:

Credit where it’s due. Keir Starmer has FINALLY plucked up courage to face down the orange psychopath, perhaps, in part, because he no longer has people like Morgan McSweeney driving Downing Street’s agenda. That said, and it’s a VERY BIG IF, Starmer must match fine words with action and apply to Rejoin the EU FULLY as an urgent priority. It matters not how log the journey takes but we must begin NOW. I concur with the FT analysis that says that going back to Europe for yet more concessions will be met with a dull bureaucratic thud of entropy.

Article content — Extract from FT article.

Grab copies of our book on Rejoining the EU and send to MPs and influencers. Written by 60 people and recently updated to address Trump 2.0. Proven to move the dial on Brexit with movers and shakers. Also valuable in shifting minds with people who still believe that Nigel Farage has answers to Reboot Britain. Hard copies and Kindle version available direct via Amazon and other bookshops. Author discount copies available via email reboot@brexitrage.com

Our work on the street

I attended the Together Alliance March on Saturday 28 March, with the single objective of getting a copy of the book to Billy Bragg. Mission accomplished !! Please get in touch with the bard of Barking to remind him of the book which aligns with much of Billy’s own thinking on England’s septic isle, poisoned by Brexit inspired racism, but which has always been there.

Billy performed three songs at the event. One I remember from seeing him at Harlesden and at “Red Wedge” from his early work:

Another poignant piece about the recent killings of innocent citizens in Minneapolis. This is matched by my own rendition of David Bowie’s “Where are We Now?” in honour of Renee Good and Alex Pritti, murdered by Donald J(anus) Trump.

And finally, here’s Billy’s 2000 piece he produced with Wilco, based on the words of Woody Guthrie about fascism, which sadly seems more prescient than ever. They shall not pass …

Five ways to defeat Brexit inspired fascism

All of us are able to act in smaller or larger ways to defeat the rise of Brexit and now Trump inspired fascism as outlined on our webpage: Rage Against The Brexit Machine aka Reboot Britain. Please SUPPORT our continuing work. We can only do this with your help. We do not have the luxury of subscriptions like the larger enterprises, the bank of goodwill is empty, and trips to MP constituencies / Parliament and so on cost money.

ger islands within our “Indonesian structure” such as The European Movement. I am told that we achieve far more impact through the targeting of influential people, via one to many MSM communications and daily acts of “Brexorcism”. Small can be beautiful in the wake of our unwillingness to resolve the structural, leadership and OD (Organisational Development) deficit of our “17 000 islands”. Here are the five ways you can act on a daily basis to end Brexit (and Trumpian) populism:

Oh Mandy

Updated on

23/02/2026 by author

Peter Cook

Kier Starmer offered a dignified and full apology yesterday over his appointment of “Mandelstein” or “Mandy”. Subject to transparency via the investigation, that is sufficient in my view. Why do I say that, you may well ask?
Starmer actually sacked Mandy where others did not. He has persuaded M to step down as a Lord. In due course and subject to there being sufficient evidence, Mandy will be prosecuted and possibly jailed. Later on we are likely to see similar outcomes with Michelle Mone and others. All takes time, but the law moves at a very slow pace. Farage law is not a suitable replacement for the rule of law as some CONform nutjobs suggest (“Farage Law” amounts to saying “Your eyes are too close together” or “You have a bit of a tan … GO TO JAIL”).

James O’Brien asked the question why did we not know all of this when Mandy was appointed as “Ferrero Rocher Ambassador and Defence Against The Dark TrumPutin Arts” to face down Trump in 2025. I was in fact one person who did predict that this appointment would end in tears in time – it was not a question of if but when. If you work in HR, one normally has a list of essential and desirable qualities plus contra-indications for your selection process. Mandy did possess some qualities which will have been judged as postives, and I suspect that McSweeney et al did not use my checklist below to look at the massive list of contra-indications. Starmer’s weakness is perhaps that he listened to McSweeney. It’s a forgiveable leadership sin, especially when weighed against the actions that Starmer has now taken to rectify the error. I say this objectively as someone who is not a massive Starmer fan. At the time, we must remember that we were beleagured by Brexit, and therefore wanting to be friends with ANYONE and EVERYONE on the international stage. Although it’s not clever, I think I understand why Starmer may have come to the conclusion that Mandy was an essential evil to tame the 5 Ts : Trump’s Toddler (Todger !!) Temper Tantrums. Although I very much doubt that proper HR processes were used, a sober analysis of the situation may have revealed the looming problem of Mandelstein to those possessed with hubris when advising / lobbying Keir Starmer.

Dear Keir

Starmer stood up for decency and the rule of law yesterday and, for that, I give him a free pass. That said, it comes with some Terms and Conditions:

Morgan McSweeney must go. He is the architect of much of this and will have lobbied Starmer to accept Mandy, having also persuaded him to oust Sue Gray for opposing him.

Editor’s note. Starmer has now done this. Praise where it’s due. If he next manages to get Mandie banged up, he will cast a long shadow on Reform, The Tories and the populists polluting our politics on planet earth.
STOP PRESS 23 Feb 2026 – Mandy has been arrested. I may have to buy a hat to eat !!

Brexit must be ended as a priority, not in 2032, as some Labour MPs suggest. Fix the fundamentals as Keir likes to say a lot. Brexit lies at the heart of a lot of Britain’s problem as our Brexit Iceberg shows

Policy making which prays to the far right fascist fringe must stop. Remember, 90% of Reform accounts are bots. Many of Starmer’s bad decisions have been aimed at appeasement of the far right. It is ALWAYS a mistake to appease fascists.

More should be made of the good works that Labour are doing. This is a comms issue, which once again lies at McSweeney’s door.

Mainstream media

I was shoe horned onto LBC at 11.57 today (Fri 6 Feb) (thank you by the way) to try to explain all of this in ‘just a minute’. Find the playback on the LBC app or here on our radio interviews with MSM:

Click the image to listen to the LBC segment on our bandcamp page.

My friend Dr Raj Persaud also made this superb piece of analysis on the matter of Mandy.

Turn despair into action

Write to your MP, enclosing a hard copy of our book Brexit RIP, written by 60 British and European citizens, including two MEPs, a KC and many eminent experts .. Hard copy books have a much longer “social journey” than bleating about it on social media. They get passed around and so on. Gift copies to your circle of contacts, especially those soft leavers who are starting to doubt the idea that Brexit was a sticking plaster for all of our problems, and Rejoiners who consider the matter closed for a host of reasons. Relight the fire.

Hard copies have a much better ‘social journey’ than e-mail. Much better for MPs, influencers and social contacts.

Also on Kindle for personal use.

Reformed Tories

Updated on

19/01/2026 by author

Peter Cook

Reform UK have had to rebrand the party in order to cope with the “swarms of failed Tories” that are now infecting their party. Honest Bobby J joins useless Nadine Dorries and Andrea “the finger) Jenkyn this week. Quite surprisingly, The Trussmeister has not joined yet. We can presume that she’s simply too toxic to be accepted by NF. Boris must be waiting in the wings to pounce on Bad Enoch at her maximum point of weakness. Although anything is possible in our disruptive politics, I think that Boris + Nigel may fall into the category of what Sparks called “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us”. Here are the new logo designs. Feel free to use them in your work and thank you to JP Flowers for converting my CONform concept into the initial design.

To find out more about the gentle art of Brexorcism please see our books : The Book of Brexorcism, Brexit Satire and Brexit RIP. p.s. It’s much better to get copies of Private Eyelines direct from the author due to the cost of colour printing on Amazon. Mail reboot@brexitrage.com for details of direct author discount copies.

The indifferent majority

Updated on

06/12/2025 by author

Peter Cook

It was Ken Clarke that popularised the term “the indifferent majority” … aka the vast swathe of people who couldn’t give a fcuk about politics. Farage has weaponised some of them into a loose cabal, united by swans, painting roundabouts, disinformation, shouting at hotels, attacking women and children, paedophilia and flagshagging. They are not the subject of this article however. Here I refer to the great swathe of Remainers / Rejoiners who know what they are against (Brexit and its offspring), but who are unwilling to do anything functional about it, apart from bleating about it on social media, which we all do, but is in effect it’s merely a form of therapy. It achieves very little apart from a release of angst into the ether. Worse still, the Brexiteers mostly love it, as it increases their sense of “winning”. Living as I do in Brexit Central, Reform types love nothing more than the “salty tears of Remoaners”. Nigel Farage benefits tremendously as Remoaners are, in effect, his unpaid marketing force as Reform fans are united by shared victimhood at Maslow’s sense of belonging level of his hierarachy:

Brexit Dark Side of the Loon — Maslow’s hierarchy reframed.

Remoaners generally have no strategy. This, in part, is due to a leadership and strategy and collaboration tactics vacuum at the “top” of the movement. I have written about our structural deficit many times before and in the books. The Rejoin movement resembles Indonesia, 17000 islands, some uninhabited with a few big ones (European Brexit Movement, Best for Brexit Britain etc.), none of whom collaborate and all of whom have different ideas about the “destination and journey” (What, Why and How) of our quest. When asked about what to do about Rejoining the EU, they come up with many different objections, some of which are captured in this graphic. We’ll never achieve anything like this.

Paul Cawthorne sums up the poverty of the “incrementalist” approach rather well …

Cherry pickers guide – TY Paul Cawthorne.

I have become tired of fighting this war on two fronts. I don’t mind dealing with Leave voters, but dealing with Remoaners who are acting to preserve the stasis sucks the very life out of me … am I beginning to sound like Liz Truss here? !! 🙂

One of my final actions before retirement was to speak about this at the recent North Herts for Europe event, where I also gave a synopsis of the Brexit RIP book. Find the masterclass below. The event was invaded by Reform UK types exposing themselves (literally), although I have removed the offensive material here.

If you like this, send copies of the book Brexit RIP to MPs and influencers. It’s far more effective than posting memes and shouting on social media to be frank. I await the hate mail and excuses from Remoaners … It’s the ideal Christmas gift for Brexiteers in remorse and Remainers in remission. QR codes are below for sharing with friends and connections. My Labour MP has a copy and is circulating it within the government, which is where we need to be if we are to be effective influencers.

The Brexorcist

Updated on

15/11/2025 by author

Peter Cook

Announcing a new contributor to our platform. Raj or “The Brexit Undertaker”, “The Brexorcist”, “The Dark Knight” or “Q-Anon” is a British Indian who is fed up with English passivity on Brexit and a whole slew of issues affecting our sceptered isle. He pulls no punches, taking out the mealy mouthed apologists, Remoaners, Starmerites, Gammon and keyboard warriors by name, without apology. Needless to say, I don’t agree with everything or everyone he chooses to take lumps out of, but I agree with his right to say it. He lives in the Brexity West Midlands under cover. This is his first article of a series entitled Bravery.

Bravery

We live in a time where the PLP have full control over Parliament and were told by their mouthpieces that they’d do something about Brexit. We are still receiving false assurances from some of Starmer’s mouthpieces like Phil Moorhouse and Graham Hughes (Editor’s note, I personally think that Phil does a good job), although I hope that more people are beginning to ask questions, seek specifics and lobby their MP and influencers with copies of the book Brexit RIP : Reboot Britain. I wrote this on Remembrance day, the 80^th anniversary of the end of World War II, which led to the creation of our NHS but also the EU.

It was the 80^th anniversary where we commemorate the brave men & women who fought against fascism at home and abroad. The NHS is an institution we all should cherish and be proud of. The memory of those who gave their lives to fight fascism is why we should fight with all we have to honour the sacrifices they made for us. Brexit and the current trajectory we are on of not undoing it risks the Reform party coming to power and the loss of our NHS. In order to honour their memory, we need to show something that each and every one of them showed- BRAVERY. There were also those who domestically fought against the allies of fascists in Oswald Moseley’s blackshirts. Our predecessors wouldn’t have tolerated him becoming PM, neither should we. Failure to fight and reverse Brexit will result in his heir, Farage, becoming PM.

BRAVERY is the 7 elements we should possess from a mental perspective to fight the fascists.

Brexit is the root cause of all the problems we face. Be it human rights, cost of living, fascism on the rise. See Brexit RIP : Reboot Britain for a sober evaluation of the opportunities we can grasp by Rejoining the EU.

Remember and Revere those who gave their lives to fight fascism by continuing their battle. Also remember whose actions & inaction led to the mess we are in right now- Corbyn & Starmer are both the enemy here, as are the Tories & Tarage. Corbyn’s three line whip, refusal to leave power and his own authoritarian moves have been used against him by Starmer against him.

Accountability and Actions Daily actions matter, not just waiting for the next election. Every MP who voted to trigger Article 50, every corrupt deal made during Covid, is likely to have committed Public Office Misconduct. This offence carries a potential life sentence. If Nonce Andrew lost his title as a Royal, anyone is fair game, especially MPs. This is the realm of legal activists and not something we currently have the legal muscle or finances to do. You can change that by supporting us.

Support us

Vision We need to be bold, think big and have a target in mind for what success looks like. See Brexit RIP : Reboot Britain Brexit is the root cause of our issues, it is something we need to remember and accountability is the desired goal by which we reverse this. The impacts are in the book and you can find our vision and five goals of how we’d spend what we’ve lost on improving people’s lives. Accountability for MPs who have committed crimes & those engaging in corruption needs to be part of it. See the Brexit iceberg for a simplified multiple cause and effect diagram.

The Brexit Iceberg. Read more at Brexit RIP. Click to read.

Epstein To deliver our vision, to have accountability, to remember who led us to this, we need a unified message. What better than Epstein – this ties Farage, The Royal Family, Trump and the Tories together. All are involved in this. People hate corruption and bringing down the corrupt is essential to bringing about the world we want.

Reclaim the narrative and language. We need to position ourselves as the patriots, the ones who love our country. This is done by explaining our vision, how rejoining will make our lives better, and through the gentle art and discipline of Brexorcism.

You This is aimed at some Caucasian readers, who love to deny the systemic nature of bigotry, by saying that they can’t be racist because they don’t use the N Word. Looking the other way, while abuse of this nature is inflicted upon those who aren’t part of the In group (not white) are abused, often illegally. How much do you want to succeed, to deliver this vision and achieve accountability by reversing Brexit?

Support us

Editor’s note: I’m not a member of this group, but English passivity and culture lie at the root of this issue. Changing culture is not a five minute job. You are encouraged to read my books on OD and culture change.

Troll corner

I responded to one of Rupert Lowe’s dog whistle posts on Linkedin about deporting all foreigners and was greeted with this reply by Steven. Steven is angry. Rupert Lowe and Tommy Ten Names have triggered him. He lashes out at others rather than look deep within himself. Don’t be like Steven ….

It turns out that bad news travels fast. The post on Facebook attracted hundreds of thousands of impressions, likes and comments. Whenever I post something positive about what we can do about the populist wave or Brexit carnage, the world falls silent. It seems that people know what they are against but rather less about what they are for … 🙁

The battle of Rochester

Updated on

21/10/2025 by author

Peter Cook

I attended the anti-racist event in Rochester. Some 200 people attended to face 15 UKIP supporters with perhaps 100 police in attendance. The bill for these protests will mean more money wasted to build a better Britain (The Farage Riots of 2024 cost £32 million). This year’s flagshagging events will cost more. The flagshaggers marched up to Rochester Castle, not to pour boiling oil and shower us with arrows from the turrets, but for a much needed toilet break after a heavy session in Wetherspoons … They then departed. MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, I bumped into the Labour Party MP Tristan Osbourne and met with the Green Party of Medway and Lib Dems at the event.

Labour in vain

I congratulated Tristan on Labour’s decision to talk about Brexit after snuffing out all conversation about a major source of our malaise in the General Election. See Labour GE Post-Mortem for more detail.

I then pointed out that ‘one swallow does not a summer make’. Tristan agreed and responded by saying that Labour would be making a statement about it in the budget. Whilst I fully understood why he could not tell me what the statement might be, I took away the idea that it may well be more ‘logical incrementalism’ rather than a fundamental reversal of the Brexit mess. He hinted at this saying that he wanted Brexit reversed within his lifetime, however he is around 40 and I am 67! I pointed out that the matter was urgent and important and that death by 1000 ameliorations is still death. Faced in real life with a rapid death over a slow painful one, I’d opt for the rapid one. So it is with Brexit. Labour must act now or face the consequences.

Tristan then tried to punt the idea to me that the EU had said that we could not return until the threat of Farage had passed, meaning post 2029 at the earliest. I re-rehearsed the arguments that we had previously: This would be too late for a host of reasons explained in Reboot Britain. I also pointed out that what matters is putting in the application, not the end of the process. Frankly this was the part of the conversation I did not believe, since the EU have stated publicly that they would welcome us back on many occasions. See political capital in Reboot Britain.

Tristan’s answer reminded me of a teenager wanting to ask a girl out but does not want to get a no !! This was the least believable part of our dialogue and I don’t know what purpose Tristan thought it might serve, given my knowledge, skills and experience.

We went on to discuss the optics of Reform UK and agreed about a lot of that. It was a cordial and intelligent dialogue and I thank him for it. I explained that I’d given a keynote at MP Sadik Al-Hassan’s town hall meeting on Brexit and it turned out that he and Tristan are good friends. All in all a valuable ‘brief encounter’. I’d had a similar meeting with my Labour MP Naushabah Khan recently and she dropped similar hints that Labour would be more bold. I’d welcome it.

Dead Brexit — The only good Brexit is a dead Brexit.

Zac attack

I also had a great encounter with Medway Greens and was asked why I had not joined them. I stated that I was still considering standing a cat for election locally in 2027, perhaps a green cat … What was most interesting was that there was broad agreement that Zac Polanski was a force for good in terminating the rise of the far right in Britain.

Dem Libs

The Lib Dems led the charge in terms of marshalling people at the event. I have explained to Mark Pack that since Labour are on the move re Brexit, it is time for the Lib Dems to recalibrate their position on Brexit to move the Overton Window. I do hope that they don’t miss the boat on this.

Lib Dem Cat — The local Lib Dem still sees my cat as an existential threat to the survival of the Lib Dems. Amazing !!

Side note: I asked a policemen early on, had they (UKIP – UK I Pee) urinated? – he seemed confused and a little disturbed. until I pointed out that this was the key metric which would determine their eventual departure back to Wetherspoons. Youth and inexperience !!

The Disenfranchised

Updated on

29/09/2025 by author

Peter Cook

I am a regular attendee of open mic jam sessions where I live in Kent and use them to keep my musical skills up. But just recently I was told of a session being organised by the alt right wing and, in particular by two characters, both of whom I’d had some previous encounters with. This article concerns a chap by the name of Kes, who told me he went to prison (for drugs I think) during which time he learned to use knives and so on. I met him a few years back. He told me his hard luck story of drugs, knives and prison, explained that he was trying to get back on his feet and offered to fix my guitars for cash.

Fast forward a few years and Kes began messaging me about the open mic jam session. He knows my views on the far right and the pathetic flagshagging that is sweeping the country at the moment. He also knows that I would not attend a session organised by the far right, as they use them to recruit young vulnerable people. Nonetheless, full marks for trying. Kes quickly became threatening. Here is the transcript in time order. It all began from my observation that he was using the union jack as the backdrop for his advert. Kes makes it very clear that he is going to share the conversation – a veiled threat that others will be “looking out for me” in the local area. It’s only fair to repay the compliment …. Transparency is the best disinfectant.

Prepare for a lengthy diatribe. The comments in pale blue are Kes and the ones in dark blue mine.

How it began

Kes rejects all forms of information save for the ones he sources himself. This is typical of the hardcore Brexit supporters. It makes them particularly unappealing candidates for informed conversations. See also Our Jools.

The obsession with rape is of course palpable. But I refuse to debate parts of a problem as it only allows them to dig deeper down a rabbit hole. It remains a fact that the vst majority of rapes are committed by white English people, and many are known to their victims.

The video above is one suggesting that Ukraine started the war with Russia !!

Now quoting Katie Hopkins as a reliable journalist …

The File on Four piece is well worth your time by the way: Inside the migrant hotel.

A personal appeal

Reflections

I’m still confused as the plethora of unanswered questions that this stream of consciousness raises. Kes’ anger at his situation is palpable. The refusal to accept the work of media outlets makes it virtually impossible for me to get any further with him, as he refuses to accept facts over his feelings, exaccerbated by Tik Tok videos.

That said, the work still needs to be done. Nigel Farage preys on people like Kes and he seems to be keen to do the same.

The image of Robert Jenprick, shadow Justice Secretary at the header of this post illustrates the belief that far right flagshagging is considered a vote winner. It is not a victimless crime. See our report on the abuse of women and children by such people.

I do feel sorry for Kes given what he told me of his health conditions, none of which were apparent when I last encountered him. Given the level of threats made and one or two doubts I have regarding his story, I am not in the mood to want to help him. His abuse and dismissal of me is forgettable. As my dad used to say “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you”.

I remain extremely concerned that Kes seems to be planning to be a counsellor which requires considerable moral courage and other skills. He is of course right that education is supposed to be about how to think, rather than what to think, yet I see little independent thought in this diatribe.

Above all else, this once again demonstrates the poverty of online dialogue as a means of talking people down from ingrained beliefs about Brexit, Europe, Politics and populism. See also the recent close encounter with someone obsessed with stopping the boats.

To learn more about the art and discipline of face to face Brexorcism, see Reboot Britain and A Better Britain.

RBB Brexit Online Brexorcisms — The poverty of Online Brexorcisms. Click image to read the book.

I am now taking a long break from Kes, having gathered some basic data on his life, motives, fears and fantasies. Serious mindset change cannot happen without a series of face to face encounters and, given his threats of violence and his intention to ‘dox’ me, I cannot proceed.

Off to eat a Swan in a bap for breakfast …. and to read about how Brexit was backed by Putin as part of a longer plan to destroy the west. Of course, Kes won’t believe this, as it’s on the BBC, New York Times, Guardian, Politico, yada yada.

Postscript

Kes continues to send unverified bollocks made by people who have a phone and a voice. I am no longer replying, having gathered sufficient intelligence for Kent Police who have taken an interest in the cell structure of far right agit-populism. His final assault is included for amusement and or pity, depending on your point of view. Since Kes insists on telling others in the area of my details, I should make it known that the last time a far right agitator committed criminal damage and knife crime, he had to pay £3500 for his sins. The rate has gone up since 2023 …. fill your boots …

I'm pleased to say that I took the person who did this to court after the police bungled the case (he was an ex policeman). He has been fined £3000 for malicious communications, criminal damage and the use of a knife

I settled the matter in the end by myself#BrexitDisaster pic.twitter.com/WhDfNS6EeP
