Project Fear – still going strong

Paolo Cabrelli | 17 Jan 2021 Britain's great betrayal?  Dear Reader,   "Bankrupt!"   "Begging for handouts…!"   "Last in the queue….!   That's the kind of scare-story the media and financial elites fed you for years about leaving the EU…   Project Fear tried to put the frighteners on you about Britain's future after Brexit.   They couldn't imagine Brexit happening, could they?    Well, they were wrong.   Wrong about Britain…   Wrong about what the public was thinking, and feeling.   And wrong about the referendum.   To quote parliamentary sketch writer Quentin Letts' book Patronising Bastards: how the elites betrayed Britain:   "Not since Marie Antoinette said ''Let them eat cake', have the peasants been so revolting."   Yet, over the last four years, our political masters, supported by much of the mainstream media have seemingly done all they can to thwart that vote.   Columnist and author Rod Liddle was moved to write 192 pages on their undemocratic behaviour.   As he says in The Great Betrayal: "Never have so many blameless people in this country been held in such contempt, or been subject to such vilification by an elite."   Leavers were "stupid… uneducated thickos"… "they were not wealth creators, they did not have degrees"… worse: "they lived in awful places like Sunderland… and Clacton".   The arrogance still staggers me.   No matter how you voted – the media should not lead the discourse, it should report it, don't you think?    And Liddle is no right-wing patsy or Sir Bufton-Tufton from the shire. For 37 years, the former Today editor for BBC's Radio 4 was a paid-up member of the Labour Party.   Well, on the 31st January this year, the fact is Britain left the EU.   It's time for those who elected for independence to have their cake – and eat it.   And just to show you shouldn't accept a defeatist mantra….   Four years ago, George Osborne told you that house prices would crumble.   Well, despite the threat of a no-deal Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic, they climbed 7.5% in 2020 - the highest growth rate for six years.    Of course that's no proof or guarantee of a rosy future in itself.   But unshackled from the EU, Britain has the real chance to thrive. The future is unwritten.    Which is where Nigel's new project comes in.   Because the decisions you make with your money now, in this challenging time, could have a lasting impact on your financial life for years to come.   So, if you'd like to know: Which British stocks could land you a potential profit post Brexit A smart strategy to draw a nice income from property – without the hassles of being a landlord The clever way to play the rising price of gold – without handing over any profits to the Tax Man  And that's just for starters…   You might be interested in the wealth building blueprint Nigel and his team have put together.   Indeed, if you'd like to take part in Britain's great wealth revival, you can get all the details here…   Nigel will tell you, personally, exactly what he has in mind.     Watch it here.   Regards,   Paolo Cabrelli Publisher, Southbank Investment Research
