Today is the second anniversary of the completion of the EU-UK
Withdrawal Agreement. From 11 PM on the 31st of January 2020 Britain ceased to
be a member state of the European Union, yet Brussels and Westminster both
decided to allow an eleven month "transitional period" so the UK
could adjust its economic and diplomatic profile into that of an independent
nation. Until then it would continue to be treated as a de facto EU member state. I was afraid the Remoaners would try to
drag their heels in again, just like they did for Brexit itself; but all went
ahead according to the schedule and the new deal was signed one hour before New
Year 2021. As I said at the time, it was not perfect, but it was a lot better
than I thought it would be. Sometimes needs must when the Devil drives. When
you think about it, Brexit happened just in time. Another couple of months and
the Covid 19 lockdowns would have been the Remoaners' textbook excuse for
delaying it and we would probably still be in the EU today. However, as I
predicted, the Remoaners are fighting back. I said at the time that this would
happen before the 2025 general election; and sure enough, Keir the Creep's
opposition is leading the very "rejoin alliance" I prophesized, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNGpq1vaFE8.
Therefore, with characteristic bad timing, Nigel Farage has announced that he is
retiring from frontline politics... again. He has declared that he will not be
standing for Reform UK in the next general election; instead he will focus on
his media career with GB News. His motive is very interesting. He believes that
he will inevitably be the target of electoral fraud. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Zu866P-4w.
It is encouraging that the threat of election interference has become this
mainstream; Nigel has clearly had some long conversations with his friend
President Trump. Obviously Nigel has announced his departure from politics
before and has made a comeback, therefore we can be reassured that he will
return, like King Arthur, should the country need him; and, let's face it, it
will. So, Happy Deal Day, HPANWO readers and Happy New Year.

Do you remember a few months ago, Boris said in Parliament that the deep state and the opposition (Labour) would drag us back into the EU?
Hi Snarnok. Yes, very well. It's sad Boris made himself so vulnerable, but hope is not lost.
