Theresa May places Party before Country

Theresa May to ask for three-month Brexit delay.

Only a three month extension?
In a statement from number 10 prior to her departure to Europe for her meeting with EU leaders  the Prime Minister Theresa May, confirmed that she will not be asking for a long extension and went on to state that "There is a case for giving Parliament a bit more time to agree a way forward, but the people of this country have been waiting nearly three years now.They are fed up with Parliament's failure to take a decision and the PM shares their frustration". 
The interesting part of this statement and the completely hypocritical part is the suggestion that Theresa May shares the frustration of the British people in being fed up with Parliaments failure to take a decision on Brexit. The fact of the matter is that Parliament has delayed matters for almost three years yes, but over the past eighteen months, the one and only motive driving the Prime Ministers maniacal insistence on presenting the same motion for Parliament to consider has been the overwhelming necessity to maintain unity within the cabinet and the Conservative party in the country. Any suggestion that she acts in the "national interest" falls into meaningless hypocritical rhetoric when we consider that any alternative would undoubtedly result in the complete disintegration of the Conservative party, fragmenting into numerous factions and consigning the Tory party to political oblivion.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly used the "deadline date" as some sort of cudgel, with which to batter the Commons into submission and agree a "deal", proposed not in the "National Interest", but in the interest of Conservative party unity. A subterfuge which fools nobody, but reinforces the belief that the PM  has nothing but contempt for Parliamentary democracy generally and the British people in particular. The arrogance of this Prime Minister extends to new dimensions when she reveals the intention to return to the Commons next week with yet a third iteration of the "deal", thus seeking to over rule the Speakers ruling and place herself with what remains of her splintered support, as the sole arbiter of what the country must do in order to implement Brexit.

Yes the people of this country "are fed up with Parliament's failure to take a decision", but they are even more fed up with Prime Minster May's arrogance and hypocrisy in refusal to act in the National Interest and continued insistence in placing party first and foremost to the total exclusion of what is right.
This country needs a general election and needs one now.

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
