The years of the Conservative government merry go round comedy and chaos on the question of Brexit, descended even further into farce yesterday (22nd May), as Theresa May allegedly barricaded herself into the cabinet room at Number 10 locked all the doors and refused to receive visits from Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid and other cabinet members. This was the culmination of a day which witnessed the Prime Minister deliver a statement to the Commons, detailing her plan for the Withdrawal Bill, which would be the 4th iteration of "her deal" to be presented to the House, in order to reach agreement on implementing Brexit. A significant number of MP's, including Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP, and DUP, in addition to scores of Conservatives, had already stated that the "new deal" is not acceptable and would be voted down when and if the deal was brought back.

This would probably explain why there were so many empty spaces on the Government benches during PMQ's and which remained vacant when the PM delivered her statement. It was clear then to all, that he Prime Minister's time had finally run out as groups of Conservative members scuttled off to hold their own discussions as to who should be the next leader and when the transfer should happen. Theresa May however, who has been described as a limpet, managed to stave off any attempts to remove her there and then and retreated the bunker of Number 10 from where she has now managed to push a meeting with the 1922 Committee to "discuss her position". off until Friday at the earliest. The PM has been of the verge of departing many times over the last few months and yet she remains. She has resisted attempts to remove her from office many times recently, and may even survive this one. The mind boggles.

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

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...
