REMEMBERING JOHN GOURIET

John Gouriet, a great campaigner for freedom.

This blog could not go by without a mention of the very sad loss of one of the anti-EU campaigns most valiant activist, John Gouriet. Over the years since I joined the campaign against the EU occupation of Great Britain, I had the privilege to meet John many times at a number of events and always found him a friendly and approachable man.

Despite the fact he worked so relentlessly and tirelessly for our cause and that of freedom generally, and was so successful in so much of what he did, he was never the sort of man to brag or place himself above others. I am convinced that even though he did so much and achieved far more than many others, he saw himself as one of many in this battle against the EU takeover of our country.

Today seems an apt day to remember him as the Daily Telegraph has honoured him in their obituary page, you can also read what the Freedom Association which he helped to set up, also says about him in their obituary to him. We have all lost one of our most important generals in this fight, he will be hard to replace.
