Ever woken up from a coma and been hit by the thought of whatever happened do the car you were in? No? well neither have I.But the antidemocratic,seditionist ,neoliberal,globalist metropolitan elites and their lackeys in Westminster are going through some kind of waking nightmare,super post traumatic disorder on a loop. They are spending most of their waking hours as actors and extras on the film set of "The Great Betrayal :How Brexit Was Stolen From The People" and are improvising dialogue and action in lieu of the hastily arranged script re-writes that are being delivered post-haste to the set in an effort to draw this tediously long epic to some kind of conclusion. The EUropean Megastate are past masters in perverting,distorting and utterly corrupting any semblance of national sovereignty that one of its satrapies might wish to foolishly indulge itself in. (See appended below ) "I'm a believer in democratic institutions", says Juncker: : Maastricht Tre...

I can hardly believe that this is only my fourth blog posting of the new year.True,there is indeed buggerall fresh,exciting or new to blog about Brexit and the betrayal thereof on the one hand and the Syrian imbroglio on the other,just about suck the oxygen out of any other topic for debate. The EUropean Tyranny is an engine of Austerity.The same one that the denizens of Wall Street amongst others engineered back in 2007/08 with their contrived banking "crisis". The EU's specious" Four Freedoms " including ,as its centrepiece the " freedom of movement for labour " throughout the 28 satrapies is an intrinsic and necessary component to keep the Globalist/Usurer Engine of Austerity running. Cheap labour on tap ( as the BBC radio 5 Live's early morning " Wake up to Money " so succinctly put it.) is the neoliberal crony- corporate capitalist wetdream realised. The UK's national GDP is still below the level it was at going into the 2007...

The 650, mostly idle, careerist benchwarming mendicants sojourning at the Palace of Westminster will soon be voting on,as we are led to believe, a vote on the vote of the vote on Anglican Tea Lady of the Year( Theresa May ) brexit " deal ". But then again perhaps not.This,however is how all badly produced ,acted and directed pantomimes end.The metropolitan domiciled, Our largely Oxbridge educated,metropolitan domiciled elites as a whole never wanted a referendum on the UK's continuing vassalage to the EU.None of them.Even those who went to great lengths to persuade the public that they somehow had taken a sudden and passionate interest in restoring our country's sovereignty by exiting the EU . We have essentially arrived at the present imbroglio as a result of Cameron going missing after the spectacular mis-fire of his cunning referendum plan to head off UKIP in the 2015 polls which led to a committed Remoaner being stage-managed into the Tory leadership and the...

On December 11th, the House of Commons - 650 itinerant Westminster careerist bench-warmers get to vote on what is being characterised as " The Deal " ; the interim arrangements for transitioning the UK out of the EU. The Grand Guignol of a Pantomime that has been " Brexit " is drawing on its last breaths ,the sham of Leaving the EU is itself drawing to a close. The faux- protagonists of Remain and Leave are coming to the end of their carefully prepared playscript ,all utterly facile,flimsy caricatures that calling them men of straw would imbue them with the unearned deference of regarding any of them with even being remotely human let alone plausible in anything they ever did  or said. Theresa May, is however idiosyncratically providing the bemused,baffled and befuddled Electorate with her own farewell  Cadenza.  A whistle-stop tour across the country to galvanise public opinion onto her side ahead of the HoC vote. History shall view the name of Theresa May ...

( Originally posted on July 20 2016 as And So It Goes..#786  on WordPress ) Please note  the original footnote...Theresa May's hijacking of the Tories' electoral strategy with her precipitous and as it turned out calamitous calling of an early general election was a surprise as still unknown at the time of the original post... Nearly 4 weeks after EU Referendum Day, the forces of Reaction & Remain continue to seek more ways to stymie and/or annul the decision of the UK Electorate to vote to leave the EU ( aka Brexit ). Petitions,demonstrations, legal actions,organised online forums, academics and prelates, commentators on every specialism - finance, foreign relations, international trade, have been brought to bear against the carrying out of the decision to leave the EU. Where does this heinous misbehaviour stem from, who are the main culprits? The facts are that Tory MPs were split roughly 50-50 on the issue, whereas Labour MPs were 90-10 for Remain.And given the enor...

There's not a great deal worth blogging about at present, in fact there hasn't been for quite some time.The two predominant topics that have motivated my output have broadly speaking been the conflict in Syria -which ineluctably is going the way of the Syrian government and its all important allies. The other topic that has occupied most of my political intellect is Brexit- and that is now all but dead and buried. Of course there are nuanced and polemical arguments to be debated about the conduct of the various belligerent parties in Syria just as there are with the various belligerent parties in the brexit battle.But by and large all the likeliest possibilities and developments have been aired and analysed. Nothing more can be usefully added. Various and diverse democratic national and regional elections throughout the Continent of Europe still manage to stimulate and most are eagerly awaited as they are de-facto plebiscites on further Euro-intergration. Back on June 28 ...

In an excellent article   New Statesman  published 19 September Jonathan Rutherford examines the decline of the Labour Party. This gleaned from his introduction:- " The future of British politics will be about the nation state of England, the union of our four nations, and their democratic and economic renewal. It will be about the renascence of the everyday life of work and family. Yet the problem for the left is its domination by an older political generation that lost faith in the idea of the nation, is sceptical about the future of work and doesn’t seem to believe in the family. Throughout its history, the Labour Party has embodied the paradox of being both radical and conservative, and so it has played a vital role both in maintaining the traditions of the country and shaping its modernity. These dispositions are not party political. They are qualities of mind and character that are woven into the fabric of our English culture. In the words of John Stuart Mill, ...

Well, that went rather well,don't you think? The much heralded EU leaders' " Informal " summit  held in Salzburg, Austria ( September 19-21 ) achieved its all too obvious objectives with a noticeable degree of continental diplomatic savoir-faire. No lesser historic personages such as Metternich and Talleyrand would have been all too duly impressed by the inimitable aplomb with which Merkel, Tusk and Macron accomplished their traducing of Theresa May. Quite how on earth ( and evidently not as its even remotely likely to be in heaven ) the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ended up with, Theresa May - the Anglican Tea Lady of the Year - as its supreme representative at such gatherings will remain a mystery until such time as a putative future historian can fathom it all out. The unadorned " facts " are that some 80% of our current itinerant Westminster benchwarmers are for Remain including a solid majority within the governing party ...

September 12 2018 is the last day of the Trades Union Congress annual conference. Its social media hashtag has been #TUC150 . Imagine one of the creatures in  Jurassic Park  wearing a happy birthday hat. The TUC's greatest historic strength in past decades and its greatest weakness these last 40 years, is its symbiotic relationship with the Labour Party - what once was only supposed to have been the organised labour movement's parliamentary wing. And so it goes. Parties and movements and the ideas that they are founded on to promote and which motivate them must all at some stage come to falter ,fail and die out.The late 19th century born idea of Social democracy /parliamentary Socialism is the latest case in point. But long after the actual material circumstances conducive to a particular political ideology's growth and development have evolved and become increasingly less favourable to that particular ideology,the proponents of it continue their sterile endeavour o...

August 25 2018 and the #PeoplesVote aka Remain Campaign is still hard at it as this gleaned from google search results shows:- Imports of Danish sperm left at risk | News | The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/.../imports-of-danish-sperm-left-at-risk-in-event-of-no-deal-... 1 day ago -  Couples hoping to conceive through artificial insemination could face delays obtaining donated  sperm  if Britain leaves the European Union ..   So there you have it. Added to the shortages of cheap manual and semi-skilled as well as skilled and professional workers of all kinds and a food shortage and hold ups at Customs and ( as the Head of Amazon Europe foresees matters ),civil unrest within weeks of the UK departing the EU- a point repeated by Labour's Barry Gardiner :- there will now also be now a shortage of imported sperm without which expensive NHS funded IVF treatment would have to be cut back.   A day on from the sperm scare and the EU funded anti...

In the wake of the 23rd June 2016 Referendum, a plethora, nay a veritable deluge of polls were commissioned,conducted and published by the two opposing camps each seeking some tangible empirical corroboration to underpin and give a superficial gravitas to their respective and ineluctably irreconcilable ideological standpoints. The Remain campaign proved, by the proverbial country mile,to be the ones lacking any pretence at dispassionate analyses and academic rigour. Simply because the facts didn't match let alone broadly approximate to their prejudices of it all being down to elderly,badly educated,economically marginalised ,xenophobic,northern, insular little england, stupid racists;which incidentally is what #PeoplesVote aka #OpenBritain #Labour and Petainist Conservatives et al still unabashedly maintain as the raison d'etre for what they see as being responsible for the historic debacle of june 23 2016. It is all bollox and hyperbole of course,but that has never proven...
