Brexit plans in disarray as Amber Rudd and Damian Green refuse to back 'toxic' plan

Image result for theresa may dismisses nurses pay as this and that

The Untited Kingdom governmet led by a lame duck Prime Minister, is falling to pieces as each new day passes. The performance at Prime Minister Question's yesterday (6th September) was even worse than her prformance prior to the election of last June when her evasiveness, lack of attention to detail and her ineptitude for office were exposed for all to see and comment upon. Yesterday, amid another exhibition of evasion and clumsy distortions, she managed to slip up on poor working conditions, claiming that only a "small number" number of workers were on zero-hours contracts (despite numbers soaring since 2010), and in another faux pas dismissed higher pay for nurses and other public service sector workers as "spending on “this, that and the other". Callous, uncaring, inept and completely out of touch, Theresa May has outstayed her shelf life by many months and has become an embarrasment not only to her party, but to the country as well.

Earlier in the day, Defence SecretaryMichael Fallon appeared on Sky television news defending the indefensible performane of Brexit Secretary David Davis and the "negotiating" position of the United Kingdom government in the discussions in Brussels which are rapidly turning into a pantomime. Fallon is famous for his ability to drop clangers in every interview that he takes part in and yesterday was no exception. When asked about nurses and the public sector pay cap, Fallon showed his complete lack of knowledge when responding with another classic blunder saying that the public sector pay cap "has only been in place for a couple of years". He repeated this gaffe on BBC News 24 a few minutes later and when corrected by the news anchor that the cap had been in place since 2010, imposed some 7 years ago, Fallon compounded his blunder with the imbecilic comment that "of course that was something quite different".

From there onward, the goverments day declined from bad to worse via Theresa May's woeful performance at PMQ's through the emerging relevations that Brexit and the "On / Off" discussions together with "position" papers are tearing the government and its supporters to pieces by the hour.
Even the usually supportive media, are carrying stories of cabinet divisions and warfare, with ministers sticking their heads above the parapet in open crticism of the Prime Minister and her policies. It was not a good day for the government with numerous reports today of Industry leaders and employers criticising Home Offce plans for imigration controls post Brexit, as “catastrophic” for some industries.
Europe has always been a divisive issue within the conservative party and now Brexit has increased those divisions imeasurably, between those who will do anything to keep the United Kingdom within the European Union and those equally determined to sever all ties as quickly as possible, no matter what the cost to the British people and United Kingdom industry. The process of negotiating a deal acceptable to all parties in Europe and within the United Kingdom, was never going to be easy. However it is woefully clear that this government has no plan, no unity of purpose and no possiblility of resolving these momentus problems any time soon, but will continue to fragment by the hour.
The government is not acting in the public interest by seeking to cling to power when all their credibilty in the country and in Brussels, has been ripped to shreds.This is particularly the case, where the not very well hidden agenda's of those jockying for the position of Leader are clerly on display. Again, the conservative party place personal ambition and self interest at the front of their activites.

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...

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson. "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
