We started detailed research of the EU and Brexit in 2015. We launched the website early in 2016 and have been publishing daily since then. We did NOT stop on 24 June 2016, we just kept on going because we could see what was coming.
We have one overriding aim which drives us – to provide official facts and analysis in a form that busy people can read quickly, with bullet-points and simple charts, for those who have busy lives but who care about their country.
Who we are
Condensing complex facts into short articles is of course far more difficult and time-consuming than writing lengthy academic articles which no-one outside Westminster reads.
We’re ordinary people, mostly but not exclusively in business, previously minding our own business and living our everyday lives. We just felt we had to step up to the plate.
With the media bias and the one-sidedness of the establishment, it became more and more important to us that the Brexit case was presented using official facts – mostly from the EU itself.
We believe people need and deserve to see factual information about what EU membership really means for the UK. Our Brexit Index contains nearly 2,000 articles and is the largest repository of official Brexit facts anywhere in the world.
Our funding
For Remoaners obsessed with conspiracy theories, we should mention that we have funded 90% of the costs ourselves, with the balance coming from small, individual public subscriptions that have helped us to keep going somehow. None of the subscribers have so far have been named Vladimir. Sorry to disappoint Remainers who can’t deal with facts and prefer to try to attack us personally, but the money is infinitessimally small compared to the funding of Remain campaigns. We suggest Remainers address the facts rather than imaginary conspiracy theories.
We don’t have expensive London offices, secretaries, expense accounts for taxis and restaurants, etc. We’re party-neutral and none of us are interested in political careers, nor do we seek TV appearances or personal fame.
We desperately need more funds to continue our work and to spread our messages wider. We are currently doing real, pragmatic work with campaigns to ensure a free, independent, and sovereign United Kingdom.
