It was all a cynical ploy

Theresa May escapes threat of  leadership challenge as 1922 Committee rejects changing rules.

Now it becomes clear. After weeks or even months of speculation, rumour and positioning, the lies and hypocrisy are ex[posed as nothing more than cynical tactics. It is now as plain as the nose on your face that Conservative MP's had no intention of ousting Theresa May from the Premiership, as the influential 122 Committee decide not to change the rules for election of their party leader. To what extent Constituency Associations and ordinary party members were involved in this cynical ploy we can only speculate, but the probability is that only a few members of the 1922 Committee and just a small handful of MP's hatched a plot to drum up sympathy for May and at the same time to push the "May Brexit deal," through the house of Commons. Having pushed the "May deal" to three significant defeats in the house, the collaborators now seem to have changed tactics and have discarded the charade of removing Theresa May "as quickly as possible" to endorsing her leadership until December of this year at the very earliest. This is well beyond the Brexit deadline and well beyond the party conference. Again, the Tory hierarchy is exposed as cynical liars, able to mislead the public and even many of their own party members with untruth and evasion.

Another reason for this change of tactic, is that the 1922 Committee have come to realise that no one in the Conservative actually wants the job in any case at this time. The boom and bluster from the usual suspects masks the reality that the Premiership at this time is no more than a poison chalice which will destroy any political ambitions that they may hold for the long term and it is better to retain Theresa May as their sacrifice in exchange for long term gain.
Behind all this manoeuvring, posturing and plotting, there remains the one probability which dominates the Conservative party thinking at all levels. Conservatives and media not to mention the establishment generally, are petrified at the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn led government gaining power and taking over Number 10. It seems that the prospect of this coming to pass is far more terrifying for the Tories than any other possibility, including Theresa May remaining in office.

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 writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. 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...
