Media is calling for a "Snap" general election.

Theresa May is being urged to put the Tories on general election alert 

There is a consensus of opinion in the ranks of the media, even those on the right of the political spectrum, (which of course is the majority of them), that the government of Theresa May is crumbling into a fragmented, bickering shambles of conflicting views on customs arrangements following Brexit and the never ending problem of the "hard" border between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Added to this shambolic squabbling between the factions is the continued maneuvering by some elements to replace Theresa May as leader, all of which is further complicated by the daily fallout and revelations arising from the "Windrush Generation" scandal. It is all indeed a gigantic mess. It is so bad in fact, that at least two of the hard line Theresa May supporting newspapers are today openly calling for the Prime Minister to call a "snap general election" within the next three months, "in a bid to crush the Remainer plot aimed at sabotaging her Brexit plans", and bring pro-EU rebels into line.

Some pollsters are reporting that the Conservatives hold a substantial lead over the Labour party, which has of course historically been sufficient motivation for Prime Ministers, particularly Conservative ones, to rush off to the polls in order to increase their majorities in the Commons.However, we all remember what happened last June, which may influence the PM's decision.

What is abundantly clear however, is the reality that the country cannot afford to continue in the present state of government. A cabinet lurching from crisis to crisis taking decisions on the hoof (usually the wrong ones) and dragging their backbench MP's and those of the duplicitous DUP behind them, but increasingly over the past few weeks, finding that their "troops" are not prepared to blindly follow the instructions, is a recipe for chaos and anarchy which the people of the United Kingdom do not deserve nor will they tolerate.

The newspaper's calling for a general election are right, but not for the reasons which they suggest. The country should have a general election over this coming summer when the people can remove this shambolic, incompetent government and bring some order and direction to society, the economy and management of the country.

We must have a general election 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

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
