“Out and about – on the campaign trail with your CIBUK”

CIBUK – NEWSLETTER

We are delighted to provide our followers with an update on CIBUK’s activities following the distribution of our last newsletter at the end of April.

Our main focus has been the documentary film we are putting together as a pre-emptive strike against the Rejoiner Establishment who are bringing up their own heavy artillery in a pro-EU propaganda blitz to convince the doubters and the disheartened to abandon Brexit and join their cause.

The response to our crowd-funding campaign has been extremely encouraging as we try to instil vigour and optimism in getting Brexit over the line, and we will continue to keep you posted on developments.

It is all the more remarkable given the extraordinary battles we have experienced with our original on-line provider – GoFundMe – who decided to de-platform us on the grounds that we were offering ‘tiered incentives’ to our donors.  We remain none the wiser but have overcome this hurdle by creating our own crowd-funding site which donors can access here.

Elsewhere, we have been on manoeuvres, with an invitation to the seaside as a guest of a Tory grassroots conference in Bournemouth – the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO) – taking the temperature and assessing the mood of Conservative Party delegates as we head towards the next general election.

Looking at the national picture as a whole, we are again forced to confront the elephant in the room and assess the impact of the latest immigration figures, released on Thursday which point to an increase in net migration of 606.000 for 2022.

Ten years ago, Prime Minister David Cameron promised to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands.  Small wonder disillusion with the governing class is as widespread as it is.

The issue will continue to dominate public debate until this crisis is brought under control.  Because crisis it most certainly is.

CIBUK Documentary

Appeal for Funds

As you know, our last newsletter was devoted to the promotion of a TV-style documentary, urging the government to go much further and faster in making the case for the full Brexit we all voted for and to enable us to chart a vision for a post-Brexit Britain which millions can endorse.

The response we have received to our crowd-funding initiative has been magnificent and on behalf of everyone at CIBUK I would like to thank all those who have given so generously in helping fund the forthcoming film.

Our appeal however has not yet reached its goal. We therefore need to keep going in order to deliver the strongest possible instruction to those in government to complete the task they were elected on in 2019.

With your help we can do so.

It is with great humility therefore that I ask you to give, or continue to give, as generously as you can to our cause.

The message we wish to deliver is clear. The Referendum result must be honoured in full – no ifs, no buts, no maybe’s.

Make no mistake. If we do not secure the full and clean Brexit we all wish to see in the time available before the next General Election, it may be taken away for good.

‘We do like to be beside the seaside…’

And so to sunny Bournemouth in what promises to be an annual event, as the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO)  launched its first ever conference at the town’s impressive International Centre.

Angered at being routinely ignored by Central Office, Tory Party activists made up for it with a series of impassioned speeches on the lack of democratic accountability within the Parliamentary Party  which led to the removal of two Prime Ministers and the installation of a third without any recourse to its grassroots volunteers.

The brainchild of Lord Peter Cruddas and former MEP David Campbell Bannerman, the message from the floor to those in Westminster could not be clearer.

• What has happened must not be allowed to occur again.
• We demand a say in any future leadership elections.
• The Parliamentary Conservative Party is nothing without its volunteers.
• Ignore us at your peril.

“And still they come…”

And so to the crisis that dare not speak its name.  Global migration is fast becoming an existential threat to Western democracies across the world.

Unless drastic action is taken to secure their borders, Western nations including the UK will soon become refugee camps for the entire world’s poor.

The government and the media played footsie under the table as the deadline announcement on net migration for 2022 approached, raising the spectre of one million in order to assuage fears when the official figures were released.  ‘Only’ 600,000 net. Officially.

In fact as our esteemed affiliate BrexitFacts4EU has pointed out, the true figure is actually much higher and we provide a link to their latest findings by way of proof.

‘Something must be done.’

If ever there were a case for demanding a restoration of full democratic accountability from those we return to Parliament, the appalling mis-management of our immigration system provides it.

The consequences for all of us are too serious to be ignored any longer.

Something must be done’ will be the new and urgent rallying cry come the next election for whichever Party wishes to be returned to government.

The nation’s very identity is at stake.
