{UAH} Why "Brexit" cannot work in Uganda

By Sunday Geoffrey

Some Ugandan Baganda are associating Brexit in the UK with what Donald Trump is doing in the USA. They say it is all about anti immigration,  anti tolerance and anti foreigners. They are happy with what they are seeing and now, they think the same should happen in Uganda. They want Bugexit (Buganda exiting Uganda,  thus for Buganda to secede).

To them I say: You are wrong.... 

Brexit is totally different from what is taking place in the USA. 

Let me give you the backdrop of Brexit,  which I personally participated in and campaigned for 

In 1973 the UK joined a club of nations that traded together. The club was called the European Economic Community. 

The Conservative Prime Minister, Edward Heath, took the UK into the EEC in January 1973 after President de Gaulle of France had blocked UK membership twice in the 1960s. This brought EEC membership to nine.  In a referendum in 1975 the UK electorate voted to stay in the EEC under renegotiated terms of entry. The electorate voted 'Yes' by 67.2% to 32.8% to stay in Europe.

Since then,  successive UK governments (both labour and Conservative) have been taking the UK into and submerging it into an ever increasing EU superstate, hence betraying the trust of the British people. What started as a trading club became a government and it was becoming a very expensive monster to run.  The UK slowly started to lose sovereignty and this was very disturbing. The British people were the 2nd biggest contributor of money to this club but found that they had no say on how things are run in Brussels. The EU was a very bureaucratic nightmare for the British people.  The EU ran wasteful programmes that didn't benefit the British people and only benefited the French,  the Spanish,  the Italians,  the Greek and new entrants.  Programmes like Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policies. The British did not like this and had had enough of it. 

So,  at each general elections,  the British people continued to demand a say on their continued EU membership but successive UK governments kept dodging, saying that the UK parliament is capable of handling these issues. This nightmare ended when David Cameron promised an in or out referendum on Europe. 

Matters had been made worse by the British Labour Prime minister,  Tony Blair,  who secretly planned and executed a policy that over saw Britain flooded with Cheap EU migrants from East European countries like Poland and others.  They did this while clamping on none EU migration especially from Africa and Asia. The issue was populating Britain with the right population. Obviously,  it backfired on labour party. They were voted out and they are still in opposition. 

That is how the UK came face to face with Brexit. 

Brexit was / is about:

1. Taking control of our law.  The EU directives had overtaken UK laws and affected the British people and their way of life. We said enough is enough of this madness. The EU Judges were becoming a problem to UK governments decisions. 

2. Take back control of our money.  We were the 2nd biggest contributor to the EU but didn't have a say on how our taxes were being utilised.  We later found that the EU was riddled with corruption and that up to 2006, EU accounts had never been audited. Even when they started auditing,  the work was not as comprehensive as it should have been. 

3. Take back control of our borders.  As stated above, Tony Blair flooded the UK with EU migrants from former communist countries. EU migration could not be stopped thereafter because being part of this club,  you have to adhere to their principles of free movement of people,  capital, goods and services.  The only way to end EU migration was to come out of the EU and people voted for Brexit. 

4. Take back control of our sovereignty.  The British people were increasingly disturbed of the EU superstate that made their law, wanted to form an army,  had a national anthem,  a national flag, was spending their money / taxes but the people behind this institution were unaccountable to them,  couldn't be voted out and were demagogues. They wanted our parliament to regain its position as the maker of law and determined the taxation levels. 

So please,  Brexit in the UK is different from what Donald Trump is doing in the USA. 

As for your Bugexit dream,  the onus is on you to explain why the people of Uganda as a whole should vote for the breakdown of their country. We would like and love to hear your reasons why.  And if you are thinking that only the Baganda should vote,  then you are day dreaming. 

And please don't tell us about the presence of Banyarwanda-Tutsis in Uganda being your reason for Bugexit. It is you and your people who collaborated with them,  hid them as they wrecked havoc on our country. You just have to keep quiet on this.
