If You Live Or Work In The Rape Of Pevensey … SHOP LOCAL!

.


.

THIS IS THE latest in the National Liberal Party’s series of ongoing Shop Local! posters. And as can be seen, this one relates to the Rape Of Pevensey (Sussex) which includes the towns of Crowborough, Eastbourne and East Grinstead.  Much like the lathes of Kent, a rape is a traditional territorial sub-division in Sussex.

Sussex has six rapes – the Rape of Arundel, the Rape of Bramber, the Rape of Chichester, the Rape of Hastings. the Rape of Lewes and the Rape of Pevensey.  Each of these rapes was further subdivided into several hundreds.  We will be producing Shop Local! posters for the other rapes of Sussex in due course.

The production of this poster reminds us that our policy of Localism (1) – a key component of which is supporting local shops – is both cultural and economic in nature.

(1) Localism is a belief that supports the local production and consumption of goods, local control of government, and promotion of local history, local culture and local identity. http://nationalliberal.org/the-national-liberal-party-supports-localism

From The Liberty Wall – Nations without States – Calling AllAché People …

.

NATIONS WITHOUT STATES – NwS – kicked off this year with an appeal to anyAboriginal Australiansliving in London (who would most probably be youngsters from an artistic or sporting background) who’d be interested in promoting their case for Self-Determination at the highest level in the capital.

.

The opportunity to do so is due to the forthcomingGreater London Assembly elections – scheduled for 7th May. Here, our friends and comrade of the National Liberal Party (NLP) intend to stand up to 25 candidates under the slogan ofSelf-Determination For All!

.

We now turn our attention to theAché People.

.

The Aché – sometimes called theAxe people – are hunter-gatherers, an indigenous people who live in eastern Paraguay, South America. Like many other indigenous people in South America, they have suffered years of persecution at the hands ofcolonists, loggers, and ranchers. This was particularly so in the 1960s & 1970s.

During the latter half of the 20th century, the Paraguayan government launched a ‘pacification program’ which encouraged theAché to settle in permanent villages or camps. However, in recent years theAché have demanded land rights – the return of historical land which is currently being deforested by landless farmers and unscrupulous timber merchants.


NwS concedes that it’s probably unlikely that any descendants of theAché people living in London (and thus able to stand in the GLA elections in three months time). However, we feel that this is no reason to ignore their plight. When it comes to issues relating to Self-Determination, we work on the understanding thateither we all have rights – or none of us have rights!


With the above in mind, the National Liberal Party have advised us that they’d be happy to accommodate anyone – no matter what their ethnic background – who has a special interest and knowledge of the Aché people.  Election to the GLA would provide an excellent platform to promote – and give a voice to – the cause of theAché (and other South American indigenous people.)


The GLA has wide-ranging powers – all relating to London. However, a member of the GLA taking up the cause of the Aché people would be newsworthy in its own right. That member can also help organise support for the Aché people in communities, work-places and colleges and add weight to campaigns for allindigenous people. And let’s face it, there arehundreds of unique ethnic minorities in the world – all of whom are victims of globalism. They are losing their culture, identity, languages & traditions. We feel that they’re all unique and all are worth protecting and preserving.


Therefore, we’d ask anyone who has a special knowledge and interest in theAché people to come forward and play your part in righting the many wrongs they’ve been subjected to. Are you up for it?  If so, contact our friends in the National Liberal Partynatliberal@aol.com now. Make history – not excuses!

Ulster Voice Debate (2) Independence For Ulster?

‘Bigotry is an incapacity to conceive seriously the alternative to a proposition. It has nothing whatever to do with belief in the proposition itself.’

G.K. Chesterton


WELCOME to the second debate sponsored by Ulster Voice – the voice of the National Liberal Party in Ulster. One of the initial aims of UV is to publicise and promote the work of non-conformists and free thinkers in Ulster. We’re interested in those who ‘think outside of the box’ and we’re particularly interested in those who’re willing to reach out beyond the religious divide.


With the above in mind we’re reproducing an article – originally called Unionists Should Wake Up And Smell The Tory Coffee – written by Dr. John Coulter last month. Dr Coulter is a journalist and political commentator for the Daily Telegraph online and Sunday Times who describes himself as a ‘revolutionary unionist’. The article – the original can be viewed here: https://www.thepensivequill.com/2020/01/unionists-should-wake-up-and-smell-tory.html – originally appeared in The Pensive Quill, which is edited by Anthony McIntyre. McIntyre is an Irish Republican (who is critical of and dissents considerably from current Sinn Féin thinking). Uniquely, he allows non-Republicans to have their say in TPQ.


Ulster Voice doesn’t agree with everything in this article – for instance, we have no interest in ‘milking the EU cow for all that it is worth’ and would rather stand on our own two feet. However, we do agree with Dr. Coulter’s critism of the woeful failure of Unionism to think or plan strategically and their (almost blind) reliance on the Tories.


We’d invite everyone to read the article and answer this simple question: Independence for Ulster? Let us know via the National Liberals Facebook site – https://www.facebook.com/groups/52739504313/– or the National Liberal Party Facebook site – https://www.facebook.com/NationalLiberalParty/


It goes without saying that there are no official links between Dr. John Coulter, The Pensive Quill, Anthony McIntyre, UlsterVoice and the National Liberal Party.

Unionists Should Wake Up And Smell The Tory Coffee

.

Dr. John Coulter has been a long-time advocate of an independent Ulster. Our Ulster artwork features what's officially called the Second Ulster National flag – but more commonly known as the Ulster Independence (or Ulster nationalist) flag.

Could an Independent Ulster survive economically along with an Independent Scotland and the Irish Republic as a Celtic Alliance of Nations within the European Union? Political commentator, Dr John Coulter, uses his latest Fearless Flying Column to put the case for this solution in the event of a Boris Government throwing Northern Ireland ‘under the bus’ as the price for the UK exiting the EU.

.

I’ll be 61 this year, God Willing, and I’ve been a card-carrying member of the Ulster Unionist Party since I was 18 when I joined the North Antrim Young Unionists as an A Level student at Ballymena Academy.

.
My parents and grandparents all had long associations with the Party, with my late father, Rev Dr Robert Coulter MBE, being a former UUP Councillor and Mayor in Ballymena, UUP Chief Whip in the Northern Ireland Forum, and a former Assembly member and Stormont Commissioner between 1998 and 2011.

.

Even as a primary school pupil, I recall serving sandwiches to UUP Westminster candidate Henry Clark during the 1970 Westminster election campaign when he lost the supposed safe Ulster Unionist Commons seat to a certain Rev Ian Paisley.

.

One element has always struck me about the Unionist ideology – we never seem to have a Plan B when things go wrong! Today, Monday 13 January, is a D-Day for the Stormont Assembly; either the power-sharing Executive is on the road to clear restoration, or Northern Ireland faces another Assembly poll, or the Boris Government imposes Direct Rule from Westminster.

.

In the past, many Unionist leaders have deluded themselves into thinking that a Conservative Government really politically ‘loves’ Northern Ireland. Unionists, in reality, need to waken up politically and smell the coffee on offer from the Tories.

.

It was Ted Heath who shafted the original Stormont Parliament in 1972; it was Maggie Thatcher who stabbed Unionism in the back with the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement; it was John Major who agreed the Downing Street Declaration in 1993 which set the wheels in motion for Sinn Fein in government in Northern Ireland, and the eventual disbanding of the RUC; and it was Boris Johnston who has thrown the DUP ‘under a bus’ concerning the Brexit deal.

.

Have you got the message in Northern Ireland, Unionists? You may be able to trust individual Tories, but you cannot trust a Conservative party in Government. Get with the programme!

.

So if things go ‘pear shaped’ for the Assembly today, and the Northern Ireland economy goes equally ‘pear shaped’ after Brexit on 31 January, what is Unionism’s Plan B for the Six Counties of political Ulster?

.

Alliance, the SDLP and Sinn Fein all have their Plan B’s ready to implement – Irish unity. Even liberal Unionism wants a discussion on the possibility of a Unionist role in a united Ireland.

.

Unionism’s Plan B should be an Independent Ulster within the European Union, forming a Celtic Alliance with the Irish Republic and an equally Independent Scotland.

.

The key question which Unionists must ask; given that Boris Johnston threw the DUP ‘under the bus’ regarding his Brexit deal, he is equally capable of driving that bus over Northern Ireland several times economically so that the Province becomes a financially crippled wasteland.
.
Yes, you can point to the fact that Johnston has chucked a bucket of politically freezing water over Scottish National Party calls for a second independence referendum, but even with his massive Commons majority, even Boris cannot ignore the latest surge in support for the SNP in December’s Westminster General Election.

.

I’ve made mention (1) of the solution of Ulster Independence in my writing in the past. Indeed, for the past five years, since 2015, I have been advocating (2) the need for Unionists to consider the merits of an economic Celtic Alliance.

.

The one pitfall which a Celtic Alliance must avoid is that the European Union fails to fund the new political arrangement. This may sound politically hypocritical coming from myself as an ardent Brexiteer.

.

I have not switched sides. I am recognising that while in a national UK vote, the electorate in 2016 opted to leave the EU, but Scotland and Northern Ireland voted ‘Remain’.

.

What Unionists need to understand is the brutally honest question – which is the better situation? To be in an Independent Ulster which is milking the EU cow for all that it is worth, or to be a minority partner in a UK in which the Tory Government is punishing Northern Ireland with massive austerity for the DUP pre-Christmas voting habits?
.
A key plank of the SNP’s independence programme is that it would rejoin the EU, but Scots take note – you need to avoid the scenario that you become nothing more than a third rate banana republic (3).
.

The ‘Independence’ Plan B involving Ulster, Scotland and the Irish Republic will only work if the EU can guarantee funding for the new Celtic Alliance, especially if the economic price tag for the UK leaving the EU under a Boris Brexit Deal is financial austerity in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but an economic boost for England and Wales.

.

In the meantime, Unionists must not hang around their Orange Halls with wee meetings hoping that Johnston and his massive Commons majority will change their minds on Tory austerity for Northern Ireland.

.

Unionists need to some time in early 2020 establish a Unionist Embassy in Dublin’s Leinster House. It is something which I have campaigned for since 2014 (4):

.

Unionism made a fatal tactical error in 1985 after Thatcher signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement. Unionists should have reciprocated the Republic establishing the Maryfield Secretariat by setting up a Unionist Embassy at the very heart of the Dublin parliament and demanding a say in the running of Southern affairs.

.

Maryfield gave the Dublin government its first real say in the running of Northern Ireland since partition in the 1920s. As we near the centenary of the original Anglo Irish Treaty which paved the way for partition, Unionism needs to box clever and get its Unionist Embassy in Dublin off the ground and up and running politically.

.

In 1985 and 1986, while Unionism tramped the streets of Northern Ireland with its ‘Ulster Says No’ and ‘Ulster Still Says No’ campaigns, Dublin Nationalism made strides politically using Maryfield.

.

Such a Unionist Embassy would lay the foundations for a Celtic Alliance and could also act as a springboard to defuse the emergence of a dissident loyalist movement; the latter aiming to repeat the Dublin and Monaghan atrocities of 1974 in the event that Irish unity becomes a reality in a post Brexit British Isles.

.

Whatever decisions emerge on 13 January, there can be no doubting that Unionism must begin thinking with its head rather than marching with its feet in 2020. Unionism requires a Plan B if the Stormont Plan A flops – like it or not, the Celtic Alliance is that Plan B.

For Economic Self-Determination

THE WHOLE raison d’être of the National Liberal Party can be summed up in the slogan SELF-DETERMINATION FOR ALL!

This is all well and good, but what exactly is Self-Determination?  To answer this question, the online Encyclopaedia Britannicahttps://www.britannica.com/topic/self-determination – seems as good a place to start.  It describes Self-Determination like this:

‘Self-determination, the process by which a group of people, usually possessing a certain degree of national consciousness, form their own state and choose their own government.  As a political principle, the idea of self-determination evolved at first as a by-product of the doctrine of nationalism, to which early expression was given by the French and American revolutions. In World War I the Allies accepted self-determination as a peace aim. In his Fourteen Points the essential terms for peaceU.S. Pres. Woodrow Wilson listed self-determination as an important objective for the postwar world; the result was the fragmentation of the old Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires and Russia’s former Baltic territories into a number of new states.

After World War II, promotion of self-determination among subject peoples became one of the chief goals of the United Nations.  The UN’s predecessor, the League of Nations, had also recognized the principle, but it was in the UN that the idea received its clearest statement and affirmation.

The UN Charter clarifies two meanings of the term self-determination. First, a state is said to have the right of self-determination in the sense of having the right to choose freely its political, economic, social, and cultural systems. Second, the right to self-determination is defined as the right of a people to constitute itself in a state or otherwise freely determine the form of its association with an existing state. Both meanings have their basis in the charter (Article 1, paragraph 2; and Article 55, paragraph 1). With respect to dependent territories, the charter asserts that administering authorities should undertake to ensure political advancement and the development of self-government (Article 73, paragraphs a and b; and Article 76, paragraph b).’

The National Liberal Party has previously sought to distil the Encyclopaedia Britannica’s authoritative definition of Self-Determination into something much simpler and easier to remember.  Thus, we believe that the principle of Self-Determination can be applied to three areas: National Self-Determination, Political Self-Determination & Economic Self-Determination.

Our poster (above) looks at Economic Self-Determination and indicates that this means avoiding a life of wage slavery.  The NLP has previously noted that Economic Self-Determination:

‘seeks to distribute ownership as widely as possible and as close to the individual as practical by favouring home ownership, self-employment, small businesses, cooperatives and employee shareholdings. (We believe that ownership is the key to economic and social health: where workers obtain a just reward for their labours and gain a feeling of well-being through their having a genuine personal stake in society).’

The following e-poster http://nationalliberal.org/liberty-nation-says-neither-capitalism-nor-socialism(produced by Liberty & Nation – the voice of the National Liberal Party) successfully illustrates what Economic Self-Determination is all about and notes that it stands in opposition to the centralising and exploitative nature of both capitalism & socialism.

NLP members and supporters will be aware that we intend to fight next year’s Greater London Assembly elections.  Here we’ll be standing under the banner of Self-Determination For All!

We intend to use the GLA election to raise awareness of the concept of self-determination, gain experience in electioneering – with special emphasis on Social Media tactics – and to forge links and build alliances between various different self-determinists living in London.

Although our campaign will largely concentrate on National Self-Determination, we also hope to use it to promote – and develop – our ideas on Economic & Political Self-Determination as well.

With the above in mind, look out for our forthcoming article and poster entitled Self-Determination is a human right. In the meantime, we’d encourage our readers to check out the following links and do whatever they can to support our campaign.  Self-Determination For All!

Liberal Future: Glamorgan, Merioneth & Monmouthshire Youth Say … The Struggle Continues – BreXit Now!

.


.

‘Real democracy does not mean the democratic part of the people. It means all the people; even that disgusting part with which we do not agree.’

GK Chesterton

IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE that so much time has passed – and so much has happened – since our BreXit Now! article. Way back in May of last year we discussed how the Remainer (or Remoaner – take your pick!) British establishment was trying to control the Brexit narrative by demonising those who voted for Brexit, and, in turn, the vote itself. You can read the article here:

http://nationalliberal.org/liberal-future-carmarthenshire-denbighshire-flintshire-youth-say-…-ignore-the-establishment-media-narrative-–-brexit-now

We’ll continue with this theme in a future article as the subject of ‘narrative control’ is an important and ongoing one. However, Liberal Future would like to use this article to look at what’s happened Brexit-wise in the last eight months.

With the above in mind, it cannot have escaped anyone’s attention that Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party absolutely walked the general election of 12th December. We’d highly recommend this National Liberal Party – our parent organization – post-election analysis of the result: 2019 General Election Result – Never Trust A Tory! http://nationalliberal.org/2019-general-election-result-–-never-trust-a-tory

As the article notes, the clear driver of the election was Brexit – so much so that it became known as the ‘Brexit election.’ And as much as it pains us to say this – as we dislike all of the pro-capitalist Establishment parties, especially the Conservatives! – the Tories played an absolute blinder.

Labour’s famous ‘Red Wall’ (where it’s said that votes were weighed as opposed to being counted) turned Tory blue. This was especially so of ‘Leave’ constituencies across Northern England and here in Wales.

Here the Conservatives took six seats off of Labour (giving them a total of 14 seats) and gained 36.1% of the total vote, an increase of 2.5% from 2017.

Some people thought that Plaid Cymru (PC) might have got more of a hiding but as this report indicates – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2019/results/wales – voter loyalty meant that they held onto their four seats. In doing so PC obtained 9.9% of vote (down 0.5%).

It’s now more than a month after the election – and Plaid are still probably counting their lucky stars. As everyone knows Wales voted ‘Leave’ during the EU Referendum of 23rd June 2016. Here 854,572 (52.5%) voters supported Brexit, compared with 772,347 (47.5%) who wanted to remain within the EU.

Plaid Cymru – along with other ‘socialist’ and ‘nationalist’ parties like the Scottish National Party & Sinn Féin – campaigned to stay within the EU. All bizarrely want to leave a relatively small union (the UK) yet they’re more than content to remain chained to a much larger union – the EU. (Another thing that really concerns us about PC, the SNP and SF is their petty nationalism – in that they all appear to hate the English more than they love their own people.)

In respect of Wales, Plaid Cymru’s position doesn’t make sense to us. If four Plaid MPs can’t exert any influence over 650 MPs at Westminster, how on earth could Jill Evens – its sole MEP – ever hope to achieve anything within the EU?

To further put things into perspective, the 2011 census found that Wales had a population of just over 3 million. This is a fraction of the UKs population of nearly 68 million. It’s an even smaller fraction of the EU’s population of around 447 million. In terms of wielding power & influence, the numbers simply don’t add up. It’s simply delusional to think that the likes of Germany or France will be interested in what Wales has to say for herself.

The only way that Wales would even be noticed is if we were of some use to the EU – maybe in the form of some sort of bargaining chip. However, we’d be dropped like a hot potato once we’d outlived our usefulness (and we have a sneaking suspicion that this, sometime down the line, will happen to Éire once the UK leaves the EU for good). With all of this in mind, it begs the question why PC are so pro-EU?

So where does this all leave us respect of Brexit? To answer this we can do worse that take another look at the NLPs article from late December, 2019 General Election Result – Never Trust A Tory! Here we noted Boris Johnson’s lack of ideology and the fact that he’s miles away from the Thatcherite ‘small state, leave it to the market’ brand of Conservatism. He’ll also be different from Cameron and May.

With Brexit specifically in mind we noted:

‘To be honest, we think that the only real interest Boris has is in himself and how he would go down in history. With this in mind we think that he’d like to be known as the man who got Brexit done. It’ll now be his number one vanity project.’

In the month since the general election, Liberal Future hasn’t seen, read or heard anything that that has made us change our view. Therefore, we’re more than confident that we’ll formally leave the EU at 11pm on Friday – irrespective of whether Big Ben bongs or not! Indeed, we believe that many Welsh freedom lovers will be celebrating here. Others may even travel to London to join the main Brexit celebrations which’ll be held in London’s Parliament Square. We understand that some of the celebrations will be televised, so we’re hoping to see a few Red Dragon flags – Y Ddraig Goch – flying.

So far so good. However, Liberal Future wouldn’t trust Boris or the Tories as far as we could throw them. We intensely dislike the idea of a Tory Brexit – but frankly we have to blame the Labour Party for this. Why? Because Jeremy Corbyn originally said that they’d respect the referendum result. But when the vote went against the Establishment line, the back room political manoeuvring started and Labour altered its position. In fact, they altered their position so much so that – in the run up to & during last month’s election – nobody really knew where they stood.

So a Tory Brexit it is then. Serious horse trading has probably already began behind the scenes. The best we can ask for is to be fed the odd morsel of how negotiations are proceeding. Until we actually finally leave the EU, we’ll still continue using its BreXit Now! slogan as nobody really knows what way we’re leaving – and crucially what’ll be discussed and agreed behind closed doors.

With the above in mind Liberal Future would like to state that we’re not naïve enough to believe that once we’re out of the EU everything’s suddenly going to be Hunky Dory.

If we’re reading the Runestones correctly, a Tory Brexit will see the UK probably joining the World Trade Organisation (WTO) once the transition period is complete. As we understand it, the WTO grew out of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, together with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Therefore, to some extent, we’ll be jumping out of the fire into the furnace. However, we’ve never shared the jingoistic & over-simplistic view (mainly promoted by what we’d term as the ‘reactionary right’) that getting ‘our country back’ will be a simple matter of leaving the EU.

On the contrary, LF believes that the road to National Freedom & Social Justice would be an extremely long and hard one. We accept that – in this age of globalisation – we can’t achieve total sovereignty overnight. We also concede that we might have to leave one trading bloc – like to EU – only to have to join another one – like the WTO – until we do achieve total sovereignty.

We understand that this sounds counter-intuitive or even contradictory. However, we have to understand that Wales simply doesn’t have the capacity to become anything like self-sufficient overnight. Ironically, it would probably take something like another World War to achieve this!

Sadly, it’s a fact of life that we have to rely on imports for many every day items. These are goods that could, and should, be made here in Wales. Whether this reliance on others has occurred by accident or design is a question for another day. However, in the meantime, if we want true National Freedom & Social Justice we’ll need to start moving towards becoming as self-sufficient as possible – with a particular emphasis on food sovereignty.

Liberal Future will examine these ideas in future BreXit Now! articles. We’ll also return to the theme of how the Remainer British establishment were attempting to control the Brexit narrative by demonising those who voted for Brexit, and, in turn, the vote itself. We also anticipate reporting on the continuing twists and turns on the road to freedom. This’ll be particularly important because, as we’ve noted above, we’re now into the real nitty gritty of Brexit negotiations – and this will be carried out well away from the press and public.

Finally, we also feel that the time is right for LF to set out its own stall. Here we’ll provide some details of our (post-EU) social and economic vision for the future. Briefly stated, we have absolutely no problem with European Solidarity, in terms of the Nations of Europe co-operating with each other (indeed, we have no problem with the Nations of the world co-operating with each other). But this must be done on the basis of truly free & sovereign Nations co-operating with each other. However, to achieve this we feel that the EU has to be replaced with what we would describe as as something akin to a European Confederation of Nation States.
