Today,Monday 10 June 2019 marks the official commencement of the Tory Party leadership contest to replace the outgoing Anglican Tea Lady of the Year,Theresa May. That public political discourse here in Great Britain is even plumbing such unenviable depths of otiose garbage and taking it quasi-seriously, is simply a measure of how many billions of light years we are away from the realisation of the promise born in the aftermath of June 23 2016. 13 putative contenders for the vacant party leadership had put their names forward to enter the fray, though only two succumbed to logic and reason and withdrew before the "off". Quite who will emerge victorious at the end of the hastily cobbled together, proverbial Heath Robinson party electoral process is anyone's guess. Boris Johnson ,Jeremy Hunt, Esther McVey, Dominic Raab appear the most plausible; then again when has plausibility ever been a consideration? to wit a committed Remainer with a woefully incoherent liberal re...

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...

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 ...

To quote that haunting line,one of many,from  Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon   ,there's nothing more to say. There really isn't and Peter Hitchens has said what needed saying on brexit  better,more succinctly and incisively than just about any journalist /commentator anywhere. So, gleaned from his  Mail on Sunday  blog of 20 October 2018 :- "  Negotiation is a test of strength. And Britain is far weaker than the giant German empire that is the EU. Sooner or later, if we truly want to get out of that empire, we are going to have to grasp this. Poor, hopeless Theresa May hasn’t a chance, not least because she has never really wanted to leave. So she flounders between wild fake militancy, adopted to protect her right flank, and pathetic weakness – her actual position. But I have even less time for the posturing braggarts, on all sides of the question, who now pretend that their positions are so pure and wonderful that they cannot give a...

There's something vitally important taking place in England today.Only I can't remember what it is or where it's being held or even what it's supposed to be about that makes it seem so terribly important to some people. And that ladies and gentlemen is a concise a report on the proceedings of the Conservative Party Conference 2018 in Birmingham as it is possible render. Oh. go on then, herewith some further musings on this sad and tragic event. Had the insufferably patronising,self-entitlement flaneurs of the Tory hierarchy that came out in support of Leave, even at least half-heartedly put together as broad a based political coalition for Leave leadership team, then quite possibly we might all be many miles down the road from  Stalag Luft IV by now instead of arguing about who should go first through the escape tunnel's exit and into the forest which the tunnel fell fifty feet short of due to planning miscalculations. The EU's funded #PeoplesVote aka #...

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 ...

A couple of days ago,on July 25, Anglican Tea Lady of the Year Theresa May assured the Public that they had nothing to worry about regarding her government making adequate preparations for what is termed somewhat inaccurately as a  " No-deal Brexit " on March 29 2019. Their had been contrived rumours and denials over civil service plans for the stock piling of food and medicines in anticipation of a no-deal brexit. This government has excelled itself by being complicit in the holding of two simultaneous and partially contradictory straw man arguments; a feat not even heard since the dying days of the former German Democratic Republic. Her assurance itself being merely the only logical step on from the preceding shenaningans. Herewith gleaned from  Bloomberg  quoting AP et al on June 3 2018... London (AP) -- British civil servants have warned of shortages of food, fuel and medicines within weeks if the U.K. leaves the European Union next year without a trade deal,...

Laugh or cry ?  The Times   online reports:- The head of Amazon in the UK has said that there could be “civil unrest” within two weeks if  the UK leaves the European Union with no deal. Amazon UK became the first business to issue such a warning. It was given at a meeting on Friday 20 July organised by Dominic Raab, the new Brexit secretary. Doug Gurr, UK manager for the American online giant, told the other guests, who included representatives of Britain’s biggest businesses, that this worst-case outcome formed part of his contingency planning. The problem with the aforegoing tendentious remarks is, that in common with so many other similar stark warnings these last two years,the Remain campaign simply repeats itself ad nauseam. Which of course is  part of their grand propaganda strategy initiated long before the 23 June EU Referendum ever took place. The seditionist cabal of metropolitan elitist Remoaner EU shills ( hope that covers everything about...

Rats in a sack. Brexit might have already been consigned to constitutional oblivion by the metropolitan domiciled globalist ruling elites,but at least their paid-for political actors class are still managing to tear each other to shreds in what is supposed to be a staged re-enactment but is quite entertainingly going terribly wrong. The under-rehearsed participants are actually believing themselves to be in a real world authentic constitutional political struggle,which of course from the audience /spectators' point of view they are not,only seeming to be so for the sake of parliamentary verisimilitude. A series of keenly contested highly disputatious votes was summarised by BBC ONline as:- What the MPs voted on The amendments were "broadly in line" with government policy, which is why the government accepted them. By 305 votes to 302 - with 14 Tories rebelling - MPs backed an amendment that prevents the UK from collecting taxes on behalf of the EU, unless the rest ...

Schadenfreude  has never gotten this epic before. The deal done at Chequers, ( aka Minority Tory Cabinet shenanigans), to arrive at a working consensus on the government's position at the EU Withdrawal Negotiations, so volubly heralded only a few days ago has imploded. The Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson became the first dual high level cabinet resignations since the Falklands Crisis hit the Thatcher regime back in 1982. Naturally the snuffling,grunting swineherds of the corporate MSM and partisan social media have been all over this with their usual autistic responses and analyses. But it is ,perhaps perversely,a real spectacle to behold. The very last bastion of Western European "democratic" two party-rule,the carefully maintained FPTP Lab./Con.duopoly heaving and breaking apart under its myriad incompatible,archaic idiosyncracies and inefficiencies. The broad swathe of the european continent's political geography from Fran...

History gets written by the winners.And losers tend to get a good kicking. Ultimately there is no-one who is actually " righteous " in any of this; no,not one. But that doesn't mean we ought not to take sides and be actively committed to a cause. What it ought to mean is, that irrespective of the outcome of any particular argument and our role in it ,history gets made, out of which altered circumstances newer conditions inexorably evolve and develop and the struggle renews and is renewed by this inimitable dynamic of human society. But we still like our side,the cause we're committed to to prevail,we do really want to be the ones on the winning side writing the history of a particular struggle. If that were not so then we'd all be supine conformist automatons and all human society /civilisation would be locked into a totalitarian stasis forever.Which of course is utterly absurd but that's exactly where our present day ruling elites would like to keep the...

On March 2019, the UK's decades long membership of the European Union ends. And then there's a transition period which the May Minority regime has negotiated in order to appease pro-EU Corporate interests. The CBI and others conjured up the utterly preposterous chimera of an economic /financial " cliff edge " that would do for the UK economy were such a transition period not in place. And so on and so forth. The House of Commons has embroiled itself in a legislative mess worthy of the mythic augean stables. So Brexit in all likelihood is not going to take place,The only caveat to that is the innate cowardice of the ruling elites and their political class who, here in the UK,are historically incapable of telling it like it is to the people,especially when it comes to betraying the people's trust. Clarity and decisiveness in political leadership and governance are utterly alien to the UK. History is littered with great turning points,pivotal to all succeed...

For the record it should be stated that:- Robert Fisk is an English writer and journalist. He has been Middle East correspondent intermittently since 1976 for various media; since 1989 he has been correspondent for The Independent. He is  widely respected ,hence his report a couple of days ago of his visit to Douma-where a chemical weapons attack against civilians was allegedly perpetrated-has caused such widespread alarm and despondency across  the Corporate MSM and social media platforms. This is not what,for instance, the 630 itinerant Westminster benchwarmers were expecting to be so graphically revealed to them in the wake of their pathetic,mewling faux-debate - post fact of the UK's involvement in the incident of international lawbreaking ( i.e. criminality ) where the US ,UK and France launched a massive air and missile attack against various  government establishments inside Syria.These establishments having been " identified " as critical infrastructure in the ...

The Western powers aka the United States and its kowtowing,toadying satrapies with the UK to the fore,insist that other nations,for example the likes of North Korea,Iran ,China and Russia,et al abide by what they assert are the generally accepted precepts of the so-called international rules based order,or " Westphalian System ". Rules based. International order.Supposedly brought into being by the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia that brought to a close what has since be called  " The Thirty Years War ",it established the legal fiction of territorial integrity and the sovereignty of individual nation states. Hasn't actually ever really bloody worked out in practice,but it's a convenient comfort blanket. This rules -based Order presumably applies to its most vociferous proponents; the likes of the US,UK and France for example,no? Just to be entirely consistent and thereby avoiding the charge of outright hypocrisy. Here's what Oona Hathaway, Professor of ...

One year from now,the UK will be on the very cusp of leaving the EU.The terms and conditions of Article 50 will have been fulfilled Fat bloody chance! The metropolitan ruling elites' Remain campaign has still another twelve months to inflict further damage to what is already a hideously disfigured,beleaguered,battered and bruised Brexit. Remoaner seditionist EU shills have out-thought and out fought the always far from cohesive forces favouring the UK leaving the EU. The ineluctable proof of this can be found in the wording of the terms and conditions of what is commonly referred to as the  " Transition Deal " in effect an extension to our EU membership for a further punitive 21 months after the expiry of the mandatory Article 50 exit,which keeps the UK incarcerated until December 2020 only after which time the UK will be deemed to have actually left the EU. The smoke and mirrors coup-de-main of the UK domiciled seditionist Remoaners aka the government in cahoots with...

The UK's Tory minority regime is currently embroiled  in a convoluted existential mess and finding itself in the proverbial hole,has opted to carry on digging. Russia has now been elevated to the vaunted status of grave threat to the international order and future security of the european continent. This Will O'the Wisp has been latterly conjured up by the embattled Tory Austerity regime, caught as it is between a rock and a hard place - the rock of national betrayal of the vote to Leave the EU and the rock of diplomatic and military impotence and delusion in the wider world. Regarding the matter of immediate domestic concern to the metropolitan-domiciled ruling elites,that of maintaining the EU's supremacy over the British people,it has taken the faux-adversaries of Remain and Leave a little while to finesse and implement their joint strategy for a de-facto annulment of the verdict of the June 2016 EU Referendum. But in spite of some efforts to honour and implement s...

And still it rumbles on.The Salisbury imbroglio. The tiniest molehill has over this last few days been assiduously turned into a proverbial mountain. Tory Minority Westminster Regime Leader May even went walkabout in the erstwhile largely overlooked Wiltshire County Town,as if she was Margaret Thatcher at the height of the Falklands conflict. Opposition Leader Corbyn ( barely two years on from being massively no-confidenced by 90% of his parliamentary  "colleagues" who still want nothing to do with him as their Party's duly elected leader after all this time ) has tried to inject  a dose of reason and level-headedness into the hyperbole strewn bluster aired from all directions in the House of Commons chamber as if it were the set of " The Darkest Hour ". And still it rumbles on. Expulsions of Russian embassy staff has been ordered;the nature of the incident itself has now Orwellian like been recategorised as a  direct attack on UK sovereignty and the first...

The full and final betrayal of the British electorate's verdict on June 23 2016 to Leave the EU is now imminent. The minority Tory regime held, what was ironically termed by their supine kowtowing lackey Press as, a  " war cabinet " at Chequers, to finalise the otiose cant and non sequitur verbiage that will shortly be broadcast/published outlining the precise details of how this Grand Betrayal ,this Act of monumental Treason is to be enacted. There is no longer any need for the Labour Party to strive to return to power when the Tories- manque  are doing precisely what Labour would do plus a little bit more besides for good measure and so outflank their adversaries in parliament.A parliament that decide long before 23 June 2016 that the plebs could go and get stuffed. The leading metropolitan Remoaner /seditionist EU shill Mary Creagh, the itinerant benchwarmer for Wakefield,must be beside herself at this prospect;if indeed someone with so huge a grossly inflated eg...
