Theresa May declares war on Brussels, urging: 'Let me fight for Britain'

Apart from the usual suspects from the usual sources, there seems to be a consensus of opinion that Theresa May has lost the plot with her demented attack on European leaders (who we formally referred to as partners) and European civil servants in Brussels.The BBC News and Sky News, as is only to be expected in these days of blatantly pro government bias, seized upon the reports and newspaper coverage which emphasised and  encouraged the "strong and stable leadership" aspects or the "hands off our election" headline or standing up to "European threats" against Britain and all the other nonsense that the Prime Minister spewed forth while standing at the Downing Street lectern yesterday.
Many commentators have today likened yesterdays performance to that of Donald Trump during the American Presidential election campaign, noting that Theresa May makes all the necessary Trump like allegations and threats but seems to lack confidence in her own remarks.As one commentator put it, "Theresa May is looking and sounding rattled, if not a little unhinged". and it is not difficult to see how he comes to that conclusion.

What the Prime Minister was seeking (and failing) to do with her diatribe of yesterday,was to convince the British people that the United Kingdom is under attack from a hostile European enemy led by European Commission President  Jean-Claude Juncker, leading a coalition of Angela Merkel's Germany, and .Council president Donald Tusk coordinating the other 26 countries.
The reality of course as recognised by most observers, is that Prime Minister May has seized upon the age old tactic of making up a half baked conspiracy theory to distract everyone from her failures,while at the same time seeking to rally electoral support behind a notion of patriotic fervour. Trying to win a general election by creating imaginary enemies is not a new  stratagem, but in this case and at this time it is certainly a cynical and arrogant example of contempt towards the British people.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
