The Week in Review.


Gosh – what a busy old week it has been and what weak week it has been for the poor, desperate REMAINIACS and their Project Fear. Let's see, where to start…


How about today and work backwards.


this is how they view democracy

Tory Peer and REMAINIAC Ros Altman sent out this twitter today:



Majority of MPs in all 3parties want to stay in EU. They're your democratically elected leaders. Voting Brexit overrules your own MPs

— Ros Altmann (@rosaltmann) June 9, 2016
In her world our vote in a referendum does not count, it is MP's anyway who should decide this for us. Oh - Rosalind Miriam Altmann, Baroness Altmann, CBE appointed by Vichy Dave as "pensions expert" wasn't elected to her lofty position. A true example of a "europhile" with obvious ambitions to be an EU commisioner. Remainiacs are the gift that keeps on giving.

Do as you're told by your betters – or show her who leads whom on June 23rd and Vote Leave




from yesterday

 Nine Out of Ten Economists...

Remember the oft repeated "nine out of ten economists" oppose BREXIT? We found out this week how they arrived at that figure:-

The figure was based on a self-selecting Ipsos MORI survey of economists from the Royal Economic Society and the Society of Business Economists.

The survey was sent out to 3,818 economists. Only 639 (or 16.7%) replied, of which 561 said Brexit would be bad for the economy. That’s just 14.7% of the total number of economists contacted. So rather than nine out of ten economists warning against Brexit, it was actually closer one in seven. Quite a lie from Gideon “Haw Haw” Osborne and Vichy Dave don't you think?


Clearly they think you are a mug. If you think you are not a mug – Vote Leave


 from the day before:


Let's dig a great big hole and bury the EU in it..


and use this man's fine diggers with which to do it






earlier in the week


Just saying Good Bye:


Nigel's departing speech to the EU parliament:-

https://youtu.be/7LmDNby6jC0



...and this dismal week for Project Fear kicked off with Vichy Dave being laughed at and told about the real world by an audience member whilst going head to head with Nigel on ITV


It's all gone so wrong

It’s all gone a bit Pete Tong for the PM. It turns out lining up every global leader, trade envoy and financier from Canary Wharf to Washington to warn the serfs to vote Remain on threat of nuclear apocalypse wasn’t actually the best idea. Who’d have thought it? People voting in a referendum on global elites don’t want to listen to those same global elites telling them which way to vote. How very bizarre!


David Cameron having a consoling pint & ciggie on the Commons Terrace after the disastrous ITV "show" - awwww

Luckily for the Leave camp, master political strategist David Cameron is so comprehensively divorced from any semblance of normality that he doesn’t realise this, and will continue treating the British people like benighted little peasants who need to sit down and listen to what the clever dignitaries and technocrats tell them. In fact, unwittingly, the red-faced ex-Buller boy is one of the Leave campaign’s single biggest assets.


but it wasn't supposed to end like this when we started out


Above,

(1) the Hon. Edward Sebastian Grigg, the heir to Baron Altrincham of Tormarton and current chairman of Credit Suisse (UK)

(2) David Cameron

(3) Ralph Perry Robinson, a former child actor, designer, furniture-maker

(4) Ewen Fergusson, son of the British ambassador to France, Sir Ewen Fergusson and now at City law firm Herbert Smith

(5) Matthew Benson, the heir to the Earldom of Wemyss and March

(6) Sebastian James, the son of Lord Northbourne, a major landowner in Kent

(7) Jonathan Ford, the-then president of the club, a banker with Morgan Grenfell

(8) Boris Johnson, the-then president of the Oxford Union

9) Harry Eastwood, the investment fund consultant

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
