Another backroom "deal" to save Theresa May.

EU breaks deadlock to save Theresa May amid fears she could be ousted

This is incredible. Moreover, it is dangerous and anti democratic, but this Prime Minister knows all about "deals" which are anti democratic.

Theresa May resorted to a seedy backroom deal with the DUP which contained a £1.5 billion bribe for the Unionists to keep her and her and her sordid "government" in power at Westminster. She now pleads with the EU for them to soften their stance on Brexit in order to save herself being ousted from number 10. We have yet to establish what inducement she has given to Michel Barnier, Jean-Claude Juncker, Angela Merkle and the other European "negotiators", but it is evident that the "policy" of bribe and kickback has again rescued Theresa May, at least in the short term. Again, self interest and graft so common amongst conservative politicians generally, has prevailed and what is more the European Union in the form of Barnier, Juncker and Merkle have become accomplices in the charade.

By propping up a lame duck Prime Minister, in the same way that the DUP propped up the government at Westminster, the European Union has lost all credibility in their dealings with this and any future governments. We can be certain that any "deal" which may ultimately be agreed will be in the best interests of the EU, the government of the UK and its fractured cabinet but certainly not in the interests of the British people. In the same way that the EU and the IMF chastised the people of Greece, Theresa May has given carte blanche to Brussels for them to punish the people of this country.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
