Daily Squib Exclusive: The Lord Lamont of Lerwick Brexit Interview

Brexit must not be forgotten, and this is why we at the Daily Squib are not side lining it but instead putting it at the forefront, despite it being somewhat forgotten in parliament. We have already interviewed The Right Honourable Ann Widdecombe and now are proud to present our interview with The Right Honourable Lord Lamont of Lerwick, who justly held off the treachery in the Commons and the House of Lords when the 2016 EU Referendum was almost overturned by an anti-democratic cabal of parliamentarian remainers. Thankfully, with Lord Lamont’s help, the necessary bills were passed and Brexit, as well as British democracy, prevailed.

Lord Norman Lamont of Lerwick certainly had many skirmishes with the EU machine during his tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the John Major government, and was one of the principal engineers of Brexit as a workable concept. His ideas and thoughts about possibly leaving the EU were unthinkable in the first half of the 1990s, but he pursued the idea into 2016 when it resurfaced as the EU Referendum.

Part of a series featuring prominent Brexiteers, we present the Daily Squib exclusive Brexit interview with The Rt Hon. Lord Lamont of Lerwick.

LORD LAMONT BREXIT INTERVIEW

– What personal and political experiences from your time as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament influenced your stance on Brexit, including your 1995 book on the EU, “Sovereign Britain,” where you envisioned Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union?

I was very much influenced by my time as Chancellor, particularly in my face-to-face dealings with EU finance ministers. It became clear to me that the talk of a Political Union in Europe was not merely rhetoric, as I had sometimes hoped, but a genuine objective in which they strongly believe, even to this day. I was also influenced by my negotiations over the Maastricht Treaty where I negotiated Britain’s opt-out, I could see that the single currency would lead to more and more integration from the centre.

However, in addition, I became more and more sceptical of the alleged advantages to Britain of the Single Market. The Single Market of course is a good idea, but you don’t need to be a Member of the EU to benefit from it. Sometimes, countries like the US and Japan have been better at exploiting it than Britain. I also noticed how Switzerland was more integrated economically with the EU than Britain, but was not a Member.

– How do you perceive Brexit’s significance in reshaping Britain’s economic and political landscape, drawing parallels with the challenges faced during your tenure in the government, especially given your long-standing opposition to European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the European single currency?

The significance of Brexit is that we have avoided Political Union and a United States of Europe. We have the freedom to shape our own destiny. It’s up to us whether we succeed or make a mess of it. The single currency still faces plenty of problems, and it remains to be seen how it operates in the long term.

We now have the freedom to pursue our own economic and fiscal policy as we see fit, free from European interference. My view is these should be policies to encourage enterprise, low taxes and a smaller but effective State.

The IEA’s recent pamphlet has shown persuasively Brexit, contrary to much propaganda, has had no harmful effect on our Trade.

– What lessons or insights from negotiating the Maastricht Treaty, especially concerning Britain’s opt-out from the single currency, do you believe are relevant to Brexit and future relationship with the EU?

The opt-out from the single currency was effective, contrary to what some sceptics forecast. Britain also had other opt-outs, but there comes a point when there’s little point in remaining a Member and having lots of opt-outs. As a non-Euro Member, we were inevitably not part of a lot of important decisions surrounding the single currency, which none-the-less could impact on us. Being in the EU and outside the single currency, to me, made little sense.

 – Reflecting on your experiences during Black Wednesday and the subsequent exit from the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), how do you think these events shaped the discourse around Brexit and Britain’s relationship with the EU?

I think our exit from the ERM, made public opinion in Britain much more opposed to the single currency and more open to general scepticism about the EU. Not all these perceptions were correct, but they existed.

– What are the immediate post-Brexit economic challenges facing Britain, and how can the country leverage its newfound independence for economic growth and stability. Will there ever be the so-called ‘Singapore-on-Thames’?

As I said earlier, it’s entirely up to us how well we govern ourselves. Independence and freedom ought to be an advantage, but there’s nothing automatic about it. You have to make the right decisions. I doubt that there can be a so-called Singapore on the Thames. It’s almost impossible for a country like ours to get public expenditure as a proportion of GDP down to the levels in Asia, while we maintain a comprehensive welfare state and health service. That doesn’t mean that we can’t lower taxes from their current high level, of course we can, and we need to do so.

– Looking back at the numerous Conservative governments’ management of Brexit, do you feel they maximised the opportunities available post-Brexit to benefit Britain’s economy and global standing, or do you perceive missed opportunities or squandered potential?

We still have every opportunity.

– As someone who has been a vocal critic of the EU and a supporter of Brexit, what advice would you offer to policymakers navigating the complexities of the post-Brexit era?

We are outside the EU, but that doesn’t mean, as a non-Member, we can’t have close and friendly relations with our neighbours. It will take a little time as the dust settles. We face common threats and Britain has a huge amount to offer the Continent as an independent third party with excellent armed forces. There is no need to align our laws and regulations with Europe unless we think it is to our advantage and if it is, that should be on a voluntary reversible basis. We should cooperate in an unstructured ad hoc way on security issues like Ukraine or Georgia. Britain has already led the way in Ukraine and gained respect as a result.

We should seek to cooperate with friendly countries, but that won’t be exclusively Europe. I support the tilt to Asia, but it’s important to remember we are a European country, and our presence will be most impactful in our near neighbourhood.

– If Labour were to win the upcoming General Election, do you think their policies of closer union to the EU would make the original hard-fought concepts of Brexit disappear into the mire?

I think Brexit is irreversible. Starmer has ruled out the Customs Union and the Single Market, and without those he can’t really make a lot of difference to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Labour, if they win the Election, may seek to align regulation with that of Europe, but that would be reversible by a later Government.

Whatever ambitions elite opinion or big business may harbour, I am confident the rock of public opinion, if faced with a decision, would be to reject Membership, just as it has done repeatedly in Switzerland and Norway.

The Daily Squib Anthology, a Wayward Christmas Fart From the Wilderness

It is still not too late to purchase a Christmas price reduced copy of the Daily Squib Anthology, which are currently selling like hot idioms from a frazzled copy of the Oxford Dictionary.

Showcasing fifteen long years of internet satire, the book, much like the Daily Squib, is a wayward satirical fart from the wilderness. You see, it’s because we do not comply, we do not conform, and we certainly do not kowtow to any rules laid out by media monstrosities we are rather unique in our delivery of ye olde Juvenalian satire. The Squib does not follow ‘fashion’ in any way or shape.

If you are somewhat of a non-conforming maverick, give the book a go, because the main thesis of the entire anthology is a brazen middle finger pointed at pretty much everything and everyone within this pallid malevolent woke society foisted upon us by deranged control-freaks and authoritarian pseudo-Marxists who seek to take over every facet of our lives.

We give no quarter to these autocratic dictators sitting in their mansions with their ill-gotten gains or the weak fuckers below them who follow without any question as they are steered over the cliff one by one in an orderly manner. The ultimate philosophy of our book is that there must be another way than this, than what we have at the moment, and we must not as a human race revel in mediocrity and putrid banality but choose a path of supreme virtuosity and maybe some forgotten freedom.

If you do thus crave freedom from all of this malodorous manure ejaculated from the puckered anuses of the supreme narcissistic controlling self-appointed pompous dictators of all thought and righteousness — then buy the book, one of the last remnants of freedom left — and this is why they hate us so much, and why they have done everything to try to shut us down simply for exerting our pure human right to freedom of speech and expression.

UPDATE 2025: THE DAILY SQUIB ANTHOLOGY IS NOW DOWN TO ONLY A FEW REMAINING COPIES IN PRINT. YOU CAN PURCHASE ONE OF THE LAST SIGNED COPIES HERE.

 

US Civil War Predictive Programming?

US Civil War Predictive Programming?

There is no doubt that America is a severely polarised country, which has ramped up its divisions within the last few decades through the introduction of wokism and other Marxist ideologies. The left and right are now so far apart, something eventually will snap. The latest film by writer Alex Garland, who wrote and directed ’24 Days Later’, ‘Ex Machina’, introduces ‘A24’ in 2024. Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarised with them and will accept them as natural progressions. Contrary to belief, this predictive technique is not a ‘conspiracy theory’ but an actual clandestine technique utilised by some intelligence agencies primarily in the 20th Century.

Unfortunately for most Americans, civil war and states seceding could become a reality very soon, purely on the concept of things like religion, race and politics.

Decades of demoralisation have seemed to have worked to a point where society and traditional American values have deteriorated to a point of no return. America’s enemies fed the country with woke ideology borne from Marxism and Soviet communism, which filtered into the entire breadth of American society, including the education systems and even the government. The Democratic Party abandoned liberalism for communism, with a more authoritarian censorious outlook that sought to completely cancel entire swathes of American society.

Wokism is a Marxist ideology that seeks to make Western capitalist culture self-destruct; to make people hate their own culture, colour and sexuality. It seeks to re-write history in its favour, and to denigrate formerly great Western historic heroes and heroines, turning them into hate figures. What better weapon is there for an enemy to use against America than to fracture society, creating discord and animosity to its own culture? Woke agents embedded in all governmental and media departments are daily working to divide America, turning it into an even more hateful entity fighting itself from within. Woke ideology is unfortunately a soviet import from the Cold War which is being utilised by Russia, Iran and China against the once great USA. Wokism uses America’s sole biggest weakness against itself, exploiting this tension to benefit America’s enemies — race.

The internet is certainly also to blame for this level of demoralisation because on the internet America’s enemies can easily create dissent and chaos in social media forums, foreign hackers can infiltrate American databases and use that data against the American people and government. Big Tech has also fomented discord and pandered to the woke ideology, working to create woke echo chambers, skewing search results and cancelling any voices of opposition to woke ideology.

Of course America must be inclusive to some extent, but when that level of inclusion supports known internal terrorist groups like ANTIFA, and agitative racist groups like BLM, there is something very wrong going on in the country.

The film is called A24 and is possibly a form of predictive programming, foreseeing future developments.

Recession Britain: Sunak UK GDP Goes Down Sewer

Recession Britain: Sunak UK GDP Goes Down Sewer

Fishy Rishi Sunak’s pledge to grow the economy is in the shitter after a slump in GDP by 0.3pc in October, bringing on an assured recession.

Thanks to the scrooge Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt and bumbling Bank of England, the UK economy has begun the final quarter of the year on a downward trajectory, after zero fucking growth over the summer.

Zimbabwe on the Thames

The weak performance in October as well as inflation is an assurance that the economy will now slip into recession, although it has in real terms been in a recession for years already. It also throws into doubt the stumbling Prime Minister’s promise to grow the economy.

Everyone knows it is all about the economy, and having impoverished Britain with his insane economic policies while he was Chancellor, Sunak’s Chancellor is just as bad.

Fishy Rishi Sunak made boosting the economy one of his five key pledges when he outlined his priorities for 2023 at the start of the year.

Recession Britain

“You can’t buy a tiny fucking loaf of bread for lower than £3.90 (4.94 USD), A pint of milk is £4.20 (5.32 USD), and six small eggs are £5.80 (£7.35). Filling up your car now costs a small fortune, especially as 89% of the cost is fuel tax. Last night I paid £190 (240 USD) to fill the motherfucking tank of my Vauxhall Nova. My mortgage increased by 75% since 2021, and I am now paying £6,700 (8486 USD) per month. Council fucking tax has risen by over 80% since last year, and I am paying £5,000 per annum just so they can take my fucking bins away every fortnight.”

The Treasury has throttled the economy and left it for dead, and now the Conservatives are reaping the rewards of their awful non-conservative monetary policy of insanely high taxes, and anti-business anti-growth bureaucratic red-tape taxation nonsense.

The nasty economic outlook will only get worse. The Bank of England warned earlier this month that nearly half of the impact of interest rate rises is yet to be felt in the housing market. 45pc of mortgage deals agreed before the rate rises began are yet to renew. Around 1.5 million fixed-rate mortgages are set to expire next year, which will ensure many households will not be able to cope and lose their homes to the banks. The mass defaults will further impact Britain’s failing economy. Welcome to recession Britain again.

Meanwhile, the incoming Labour government can only rub their dirty hands with glee as they calmly wait for the next General Election on May 2024.

Fishy Rishi Sunak: Rwanda or Bust!

Fishy Rishi Sunak: Rwanda or Bust!

Fishy Rishi Sunak is a desperate man who is running out of time as the current unelected Conservative Party Prime Minister. Time is running out rapidly for Fishy Rishi and his self-imposed target for sending illegal boat migrants to Rwanda.

Every time the British government tries to solve the problem of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel to apply for asylum, it is thwarted by the ECHR, which rules over the UK. Despite a so-called Brexit, Britain is still essentially controlled by the European Convention of Human Rights. Britain thus has zero control over its borders.

The numbers show 50,546 asylum seekers were being housed in hotels in the UK at the end of June. This is around 10% more than the 45,775 living in hotels at the end of last year. It currently costs the British taxpayer £8 million per day to house the illegal migrants in 4-star hotels across the country.

Section 4.1b

Whilst illegal migration is one thing, the Tory government dare not mention the legal migration level under the Sunak regime – net migration was 672,000; most people arriving to the UK in the YE June 2023 were from Nigeria and India.

Britain paid Rwanda an additional £100 million in April, on top of £140 million it previously sent, as the bill for its contested plan to relocate asylum seekers to the East African country continues to rise. An incredible £240 million without a single illegal asylum seeker being sent there. Rwanda is probably receiving cash from the EU as well, many suspect because recently Rwandan government ministers said they would kill the deal if the UK leaves the ECHR. Only 1% of illegal migrants are sent back to where they came from.

Suella fell on her sword, will Fishy Rishi?

Copout28 Another Copout

Yay! It’s another Copout28 copout where people with fat heads all talk absolute shit for days on end about dumping fossil fuels which would cause absolute economic disaster to the developing and Third World countries.  The UAE and Saudi Arabia have no plans on ditching fossil fuels, and neither does China, India and Russia as well as the rest of the developing world.

Where was Greta Thunberg? Who fucking cares?

“While developed countries in the West want to impoverish themselves, we in the developing world have no desire to do so,” a minister from an African country announced as an Arab guy handed him a large brown envelope full of dollars.

Currently, oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years globally therefore there is no hurry at the moment to switch to other sources of energy any time soon.

The real problem of the globe that no one talks about or dare mention is overpopulation, which is the cause of all poverty, human suffering, war, environmental damage, pollution, terrorism and misery.

If they were talking about overpopulation at Copout28 it would not be a copout, and if the world’s leaders brought in a plan to reduce the insane levels of overpopulation then at least something useful would be achieved.

Experts: Wokism is Borne From Jealousy of the Success of European Culture

Experts: Wokism is Borne From Jealousy of the Success of European Culture

The team of experts at the Institute of Technique in Rome, Italy have revealed their findings regarding the study of woke ideology and how wokism has attempted to hijack European history.

“Much of the riots, looting and general anger towards Western European culture is borne from jealousy of European history and wokism is the hateful symptom. There is a fundamental chasm between the culture and technological advancements of Europe and that of people from Sub-Saharan African descent living in the West. This frustration and anger is also reflected by some Sub-Saharan African descended film producers, who have chosen revisionism of history to somehow become relevant. Negationism of history to suit Sub-Saharan African descended audiences is of course based on lies, but it creates a cushion for the people who do not have a valid written documented history and have never achieved any form of technological advancements.

“If we look at Africa today in the year 2023 there are people who are still living in mud huts, the same as they were living 2,500 years ago during the height of the Great Roman Empire. Advancements in technology, science, culture, administration and architecture are worlds apart when looking at the two continents. Europeans have a rich written history dating back thousands of years, whereas Sub-Saharan African people have next to nothing.

Street in Rome, 2,500 years ago

“These are some of the reasons why there is such frustration amongst some Sub-Saharan African descended people who have appropriated the Western culture and are living in Western developed nations. They are frustrated and jealous of the success of European culture and technology. They wear the clothes of Europeans and have even adopted the names of Europeans given to them hundreds of years ago. Sub-Saharan African descended people have also adopted en masse the religion of the Europeans — Christianity.

“So, here we have these people who are somehow living within white European society, but they still feel that something is missing from them, of course, it is their own lost culture that is missing, especially as these people have appropriated the culture of the Europeans.

“Western culture and society has made great leaps in trying to accommodate this fundamental disparity in modern times. Through the use of positive discrimination, where Sub-Saharan African descended people are placed in jobs and education establishments purely on the basis of colour and not their ability, as well as including Sub-Saharan African descended people in all media. These techniques are far removed from the days of segregation in the USA, as well as the apartheid in South Africa, which caused great pain and animosity between Europeans and people of Sub-Saharan African descent.

“The terrible fact is that Europeans are themselves a victim of their own huge success as a society and culture. Their technological advances were millions of times more in levels of progression than other indigenous cultures. Their standards of life were beyond any metre that people of Sub-Saharan African descent could even understand hundreds of years ago. It is best not to mention IQ (Sub Saharan IQ average is 66) as being the sole reason for this, but possibly because the northern European climates were so harsh to live in during the winters and ice age that European people who had moved away from the African continent thousands of years ago saw an increase in their brain sizes and ingenuity simply to survive. The subsequent inter-breeding with Homo Sapiens and the Neanderthals also created gene mutations that increased intelligence, amongst other positives that enhanced and evolved the Europeans genetically.

city of rome wokism
Rome 2,500 years ago

“Naturally, the people of Sub-Saharan African descent feel a great resentment towards the colonial Europeans, who were technologically far superior to their African ancestors. There is a lot of blame put on the Europeans for slavery, despite the fact that African tribal kings and business minded Africans were the ones willingly selling their own people for blankets, guns, and alcohol.

“Today, there is something that has infected European culture, it is a sort of “white guilt” borne from wokism, where Europeans are meant to feel ashamed for their historical and present time technological and societal success and decry their ancestors for that very success. This has led to forced multiculturalism with millions and millions of people imported into urban ghettos where “white flight” then takes place. These places within Europe, Australia and America become awful places to live, where crime and depravation prevail.

“For those of white European descent, to move away is thus called white flight, to move in to an area is called gentrification, to even register a person’s colour is racist, to not see a person’s colour is unconscious bias, to engage with a minority is deemed as cultural appropriation, and to not engage is called non-inclusive behaviour. Europeans are thus doomed to a life of dodging this, dodging that, they are the true victims of their own success, and now are forced to stoop low to accommodate the people who made little or no effort thousands of years ago to advance technologically and scientifically. Wokism is a disruptive, bullying, authoritarian attack on everything that is European in nature, including its history, its culture and its future.”

 

Putin is Prepared For War – The Shameful West is Not

Putin is Prepared For War – The Shameful West is Not

There’s a very good reason why the French president Emmanuel Macron is always on the line to Moscow — it’s because he knows how Putin will practically walk through Europe. Naturally, the French are clever in these matters and would like to secure their future under a Russian Putin regime when the time comes. Those precious Haussmann boulevards and beautiful museums must be preserved and not turned to rubble. Basically, it is the same deal the French made when Hitler walked through Europe. Putin is prepared for war, and even though the West watches from afar it is caught in the headlights, it is almost waiting for its own demise by being totally ill-prepared.

The British Chancellor of the Exchequer is cutting funding to the Ministry of Defence, and Britain’s forces are in need of huge investment. Jeremy Hunt is therefore leaving Britain defenceless, a wreck of years of underfunding with even more underfunding proposed.

The failed Ukraine counterattack is a sign that Ukraine is on the back foot, especially as Putin increases production of military arms and munitions. Russia is also receiving military assistance from China, N. Korea and Iran.

What can the poor Ukrainians do as hordes of drugged-up Russian conscripts come at them wave after wave with unlimited supplies of bullets and convicts from Russia’s jails? The Americans are now moaning about continuing to arm and fund the poor Ukrainians.

Putin has been playing the long-game all along, and now that is paying off as the beleaguered, tired West is faltering under a malaise of disenchantment and apathy. The West, is not only being beaten on the battlefields of Ukraine, but decades of demoralisation by the leftists (who aid our enemies) are taking a serious toll.

Unless the West and NATO buckle the fuck up, then there will be no chance. Western nations need to either wake up or be defeated once and for all. This means a huge increase in military defence capabilities and a complete deletion of woke culture, which is being pushed by the WEF. In essence, the WEF is working for the rise of totalitarian China and Russia to take over the West and this can be thus labelled as a Western problem that must ultimately be solved from within.

In war, the weak do not survive.

And It’s an ‘Eff You’ From the BBC!

How delightful of the BBC to pull the middle finger at the viewers. In fact, this is kind of refreshing to see some sort of attitude other than the usual useless pap being put forward by the beeb for a while.

The BBC, a corporation with a devout hunger for hard cash pilfered from the pockets of hard-up British taxpayers so they can pay people like Gary Lineker £4.8 million a year for a two-day work week is a profound statement to Britain’s love for masochism as a nation.

You must pay your TV Licence, or we will come to your door and bully you, and send old people nasty threatening letters which should be completely ignored and thrown in the recycle bin. The BBC needs absolutely multi-millions of pounds per annum to run re-runs and facile useless mediocre programs to the fucking masses.

What is the BBC good for these days apart from a middle finger? It is certainly quite apt that this parasitical corporation doles out utter bilge and mediocrity to the people whilst shaking them down for a tax that is devoutly hated across the land.

In honour of BBC proteges and stars Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris, along with the likes of Martin Bashir, yes, it is definitely a big eff you from the fucking BBC.

Interconnected: The Internet Only Creates War For Humanity

Interconnected: The Internet Only Creates War For Humanity

When humans become too interconnected, they reject this state through war because too much connection creates a reaction of disconnection and a run to privacy. Our inherent differences are accentuated to a point that eventually sows the seeds for conflict on and off the internet.

We are told day in day out that humans have to communicate with each other constantly through smartphones, the internet, social media, but no one has factored in the consequences of such levels of communication because they were blinded by the revenue made from connectivity overload.

Of course, humans need some level of communication and connection with each other, but the situation we are at now is at a level of overload.

When was the last time you sat at a desk and wrote a letter to someone on a piece of paper?

When was the last time you had a real conversation with someone face to face, and not impersonal cold digital words with a stranger on the internet who interacts with thousands of other impersonal messages every day?

This is the ultimate paradox that through more connectivity humans have grown further apart from each other and there is a very good reason humankind will head to complete global war soon.

One of the reasons for rejection of the internet beast is the loss of privacy, of space, of real human contact, of community, of family and of love.

The digital beast is a cold hard obtuse world of code with no warmth and human eye to eye, face to face connection. Zoom conferences do not substitute reality in any way but present a cold digital representation of human connectivity that is ultimately soulless.

The prying incessant eyes of communication now delve into our lives with an extreme hunger for data on every part of our existence, and daily our loss of privacy is getting worse. Humans need privacy, but now every form you fill in for anything requires invasive data to be revealed that infringes on our rights as humans. Every part of your life is now digitized and filed/sold.

All of this unhappiness naturally builds up to a crescendo, not only with individuals, but entire nations are soaked with this spam world malaise that infects every part of our existence. If you know that much data about your enemies then you know where to attack, where their weaknesses are and how to destroy your enemy with the most effectiveness.

This level of interconnectedness will eventually backfire because it is now intrusive and one could even say a form of bullying to eek out every piece of information from people just wanting to live their lives in peace.
