The Great Brexit Swindle: Why the mega-rich and free market fanatics conspired to force Britain from the European Union Kindle Edition

In his urgent new book, T. J. Coles uncovers the forces seeking to uncouple Britain from the European Union. Allied to an expanding core of free market fanatics in the Conservative party is a powerful group of globalists and financial traders. Their political ideology is neoliberalism – a worldwide agenda that seeks to deregulate markets and maximize profits for global elites at the expense of working people. The effect is a growing gap internationally between rich and poor.
Digging deep into the funding campaign, The Great Brexit Swindle documents the potent, self-serving interests behind Brexit. In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, mega-rich hedge fund managers and billionaire CEOs are keen to be rid of Brussels and its 'red tape' regulation. Their anti-European political allies, meanwhile, are preparing to corner markets in Asia and South America, whilst expanding Britain's military capacity as a back-up to economic penetration.
Brexit was sold to the public as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to regain sovereignty, control immigration and increase the nation's wealth. But, despite the manifold promises of Brexiteers, Coles demonstrates that economic globalization will lead to growing job insecurity and greater immigration, once British workers are put in direct competition with the huge, poor populations of countries like Brazil, China, Mexico and India. Increasing 'free market' trade worldwide leaves Britain open to low-quality products, such as hormone-treated American beef and genetically-modified foods, whilst the new planned trade agreements would only accelerate the privatization of public services. Although Coles is not an advocate for the EU, he argues that the Brexit agenda is designed only to serve the interests of the wealthy and increasingly powerful 0.1% of the population.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Inside Story of the Brexit Con.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2019

    When Theresa May and cohorts (who represent the extreme right wing of the Conservative Party) say that Brexit is 'the will of the British people' she fails to explain that 17.4 million votes constitutes less than one third of Britain's population. In other words out of a total population of 66 million people 48.6 million British citizens did not vote to leave the EU. Do the views of 17.4 million British citizens constitute 'the will of the British people'? No, they do not. Furthermore, those who promote Brexit as a heroic populist rebellion against globalist capitalism, the offshoring of jobs to the far east etc fail to mention that Rupert Murdoch, chief propagandist for the City of London Financial oligarchy (the original promoters of globalization and offshoring of British industry to markets with cheaper labour costs) encouraged his tabloid readers (Murdoch's The Sun newspaper is the bestselling newspaper in the UK) to vote Leave nobody seemed to have the wherewithal to realize that Brexit, far from being a people's movement is in actual fact an elite right-wing plot to destroy Britain's welfare state and National Health Service in order to finally move away from European-style social democracy to the ruthless cut-throat live-or-die capitalist model that prevails in the United States. If you don't have medical insurance in the US sorry but you will not receive hospital treatment. This is the vision that Jeremy Hunt, Liam Fox, Jacob Rees-Mogg and others have in store for the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, there is a lack of intelligence not merely among the general public but among our parliamentarians who seem incapable of halting the destruction of Britain as we know it.

    Many thanks for Dr Coles for this enlightening expose of the true origins of this historic coup by the rich against the poor.

    Although I voted Brexit and would again, part of me wonders whether I should have voted for Kodos instead of Kang...

    I welcome an academic author who writes outsides of his paid academic field since it suggests he has the freedom to speak his mind and is not beholden to those who fund him. The book was the right length for my immediate interest. As a Brexit voter I was drawn into the book by the sound arguments made rather than the happy clappy holding hands rheoteric that Remain campaigners used with potato crisps promoter Gary Lineker and pseudo intellectual Stephen Fry.

    Coles outlines the protectionist nature of the EU versus the Anglosphere neoliberalism that united the plutocrats harnessing of white working class disillusionment with the former's financial means to achieve their objective. I've recently reread John Perkins "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman" and I was reminded of its core message when reading of the exploitation of poor people around the world.

    The book is certainly food for thought. While illustrating the problem with neoliberalism we are suggested the antidote is Keynesian Economics. Which is odd since the author while having wanted to stay in the EU knows himself that EU member governments are constrained to not building up too large a deficit in their public spending...There is an antidote IMHO that is neither neoliberalistic or protectionist and starts with the equitable distribution of wealth at home, and then equips nations to engage in free trade. I refer to Georgist Economics. ("Progress And Poverty"/ "Protection Or Free Trade".)

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book is wake up call for voters
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2017

    A warning to voters who voted Leave but may have made the wrong choice and that they could have been misled by politicans who compained for a leave vote.

    Many who are traditional Labour voters voted leave but may find that there is likely to be more cuts to services and welfare while Britain could beome a tax haven.

    However according to the recent Conservative manifesto, this does not seem to be the case. But the book is a useful reminder that when voting for whether or not to leave the EU, it's better to be informed about the pros and cons before voting in a referendum where the result will affect everyone's lives, rich and poor.
