Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission Post # 1-of-4 on the subject of the UK’s EU Referendum: how will you decide which way to vote? A Punter’s Guide. Who Speaks for You? Hello and welcome to Moraymint Chatter. I’m assuming you’re here because you saw the notice I placed in […]
If you’re wondering whether, come 23 June, you want to be a Brit or a citizen of the European Union (it’s one or the other; you can’t be both), then you need to watch this presentation by Boris Johnson. Show me one politician, just one politician from the ‘Remain in the EU’ side who has […]
Councillor Allan Wright (Convener, Moray Council) appended his signature to a letter to the The Daily Telegraph earlier this week expressing support for Britain’s membership of a reformed European Union (EU). The fact that the EU is not open to reform seems to have slipped the notice of the signatories to the letter. If you’ve […]
It remains to be seen whether it’s encouraging to know that Boris Johnson is supporting Brexit. However, we shouldn’t delude ourselves as to the challenge ahead for those of us arguing the case for the restoration of the sovereignty of the United Kingdom. Why?

Migration Watch – an independent, […]
Miserable Git Anyone who has the remotest interest in the idle musings of me, Moraymint, would almost certainly conclude that I’m a pessimist. Indeed, some would doubtless go so far as to say that I’m the proverbial miserable old git who really should get a life. Post after post on this blog identifies me with […]
According to the BBC, ‘airport security will have to be reviewed in areas where Islamic State militants are active if the air crash in Egypt is found to have been caused by a bomb …’, said the UK Foreign Secretary. Erm, now hang on a minute; the UK is home to a huge number of […]
UKIP’s leader, Nigel Farage, is in Washington where he made a speech to the Heritage Foundation. If a British mainstream politician had made this speech – ‘Patriotic Voices From Europe – there’s a real chance that the BBC would have reported it. However, since the speech was made by Mr Farage, there was and remains no […]
As the Greek government, a paragon of economic and political ineptitude, pressed and bullied by the European Union, moves to impose yet more austerity on its people, a thought comes to mind. The desperate attempts to keep Greece locked in to the euro currency – and with it Greece’s total socio-economic destruction – will go […]
