Abortion: while everybody talks about geopolitical crisis and economics, an earthquake hits the USA

 Abortion: while everybody talks about geopolitical crisis and economics, an earthquake hits the USA


I don't think that many people were expecting this to happen. It is a bit of a 9/11 moment. The Twin Towers have been hit all over again. Some call it a Constitutional Earthquake. It is thought that terminations will be instantly banned in not less than 13 of the 50 states and that in at least 26 states the will be moves to ban abortion altogether. Anti-abortion demonstrators gathered outside the USA Supreme Court to celebrate the ruling. 

Now, let's look at the list of states that have what is called 'trigger laws' in place: Arkansas, Idado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.

The USA is changing direction of travel and what happens now in the rest of the Anglo world. It is reported that this evening there will be demonstrations at the USA Embassy in London. According to the ruling, the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the peo-ple and their elected representatives.

Christian Conservatives are turning the clock back. What else is in store to surprise us even more? This could be the beginning of a crusade to bring back a more traditionalist USA, a version of the USA that is closer to the version the Founding Fathers imagined and hope that America could be. Will the American winds reach Europe? Prime Minister Boris Johnson immediately stood up to criticize the move and said that it was a move backwards. Since when America sneezes Britain catches a cold, I don't doubt that traditionalist sector of the British society will soon been invigorated by the ruling of the USA Supreme Court and the debate will be re-ignited in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. What will happen in Hollywood? The movie industry created an image of the USA that people believe to be America itself. Later on, Hollywood openly portrayed a more liberal approach that promoted the acceptability of abortion and homosexuality. Hollywood changed America. Will America now change Hollywood? Looking forward to see how this pans out.

Brexit: When you change one part of a deal you create a different deal.

Brexit: When you change one part of a deal you create a different deal

John McDonnell can talk about Customs Union as much as he wants but the fact remains that when you change one part of a deal that has already been agreed you change the deal and therefore have to return to the negotiations table and this menas yet another delay. What does another delay mean for the European Union? It means a delay in the proceeding, blocking the European Commission, leaving the European Parliament in the dark about who is and who isn't a Member of the European Parliament. The amount of time spent by EU authorities in negotiation after negotiation is time that the EU has not spent in other more fundamental issues for the European Union. John McDonnell, as other Labour MPs, is doing this not because of Brexit but because he has a political agenda to throw a spanner in the works with the belief that this would put him and his party in a better position come a General Election.

The SNP has a very public agenda. For the SNP, Britain is not what matters. For the SNP what matters is Scottish Independence to be achieved regardless of whatever happens to the United Kingdom. What hasn't enter the SNP's minds is that should Scotland become independent Scots will be foreigners in what remains in the United Kingdom and therefore a border will have to be erected across the border with England that will prevent freedom of movement of Scottish citizens. They will. have to have Scottish passports and apply for a visa to enter England or any other part of the United Kingdom. They will have to have their own currency supported by their own Scottish bank. They will have to have their own Armed Forces and they will lose all contracts and benefits they have at the moment as an integral part of the United Kingdom.

For the Liberal. Democrats, everything is about winning and elusive General Election. They became the fourth political party after the SNP and they are now rejoicing because rogue members of other political parties decided to join them. The question is: how long will happiness last? When a General Election comes those who chose to joined the Liberal Democrats might find themselves out of Parliament.

For the DUP, there is a very clear threat. If there was a General Election today in Northern Ireland, there is no guarantees that they will keep or increase the number of DUP MP in Westminster. In the wilderness, the DUP will have little say in Westminster and no say at all in Northern Ireland because the Northern Ireland Assembly has been paralized for the last three years when Sinn Fein IRA in violation of the Good Friday Agreement decided to leave the Northern Ireland Assembly. Sinn Fein IRA doesn't want Northern Ireland to exist. They want to annex Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. For the DUP, there is a double wammy effect. The DUP doesn't like Abortion and doesn't like Same Sex Marriages. Because there isn't a functioning Northern Ireland Assembly, the Westminster Parliament in what constitutes de-facto Direct Rule imposed in Northern Ireland Abortion and Same Sex Marriages because there is no Northern Ireland Assembly that could oppose Abortion and Same Sex Marriages.

Rebel Conservative MPs are just playing into the hands of the Labour Party, a Labour Party that is divided and of which many Labour MPs don't want Jeremy Corbyn as Leader because of the danger of him becoming Prime Minister.

The only deal that could be put to the vote in a Referendum is the original deal that has the approval of both EU and UK and, even so, the European Union Parliament will only consider the deal that has been agreed by both EU and UK. As stated at the beginning, if you change one part of a deal you change the entire deal and this would lead to a new process of negotiations. Further delays for the United Kingdom and further delays for the EU that in the meantime will have no budget and will be facing UK Veto in the European Commission.

What do Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson have in common?

What do Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson have in common?

For more than 16 years, children were being raped in places like Rotherham and other British cities and so called mainstream political parties and Police were doing practically absolutely nothing to protect those being abused because they were afraid of being accused of racism.

Organisations that were supposed to protect vulnerable children looked the other way and rape gangs could do their dirty business unmolested. They were so confident than in some cases taxi services were used to transport children to places where gangs plied them with alcohol and drugs and gang raped them.

When a well-known Far Right leader spoke to the BBC, the BBC accused him of being racist for daring to raise the issue that is today widespread news and not long after the BBC itself was rocked by a scandal involving well-known entertainers that even used BBC facilities to carry out sexual activities with minors.

Now, what do Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson have in common? All of them have spoken openly about Muslim rape gangs and against Muslim terrorism while British authorities have indicated that they are actively working to prevent Muslim terrorist attacks.

Police authorities and Anti-Terrorism organisations within the Security Services did not prevent what happened on July 7, 2005. They did not prevent either the beheading of a British soldier close to military headquarters in London. They knew the to-be culprits long before they perpetrated attacks that left more than 50 dead and many more injured. They even tried to recruit the killers of Lee Rigby.

What do Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson also have in common? They have been arrested, trialed and convicted. We have come to the point that more Police resources are being used against those who denounce crime. This is certainly a paradox when Police representatives have gone as far as asking parents to denounce their children and teachers to denounce pupils if there is any suspicion regarding their involvement in terrorist activities. Needless to say, it is a monstrosity to ask parents to denounce their own children and it is also a monstrosity to ask teachers to denounce their own pupils.

But this is just part of the picture. Even a joke, something done merely as a joke, without intent to cause damage and without hatred, can land anybody in serious trouble in a legal system in which courts are eager to prosecute and convict those accused to appease or gratify vested interests. When this happens, Justice goes out through the window and a Totalitarian State is born.

There are also attempts to censor people who use social media and threats have been made against social media providers. Power and control, repression, persecution, demonizing, prosecution and incarceration are now the rule rather than the exception in an environment that is increasingly unstable in a very fragmented British political and social reality.

In the meantime, the number of victims of stabbing and gun crime keeps rising. Whether it is about issues involving Jews, Muslims or people leaving on the fringes of society, the country is in a state of flux. Add to this the complications arising from political issues and geopolitical issues and you get an explosive mix. I haven't included factors related to an economic reality in which people find themselves in ever more difficult financial circumstances that lead to dysfunctional families and mental and physical health problems.

This is not a very optimistic description of what is happening in Britain but even less optimistic events will follow sooner than later that could put an end to the United Kingdom as we know it. The man that some say could be the next British Prime Minister favors what some call a 'United Ireland', knowing the implications of supporting such a move.

Therefore, wherever you look you can see impending crisis. If you criticize a Jew or a Muslim, somebody would be offended and you could end up in court and facing jail. But if you support murdering babies, the mass media will rejoice and you could become a celebrity. People in the Republic of Ireland voted in favour of the Babies Holocaust.

Simon Hughes is openly bisexual but Tim Farron constantly struggles with sexual issues

Tim Farron constantly struggles when asked about issues regarding sexuality.

Once again the Liberal Democrats struggles to give a straight answer. He struggled before when asked about homosexuality. Now, he struggles when asked about abortion.

Simon Hughes publicly stated that he is bisexual. I would like to have Tim Farron and Simon Hughes together, in front of television cameras, and ask a whole range of questions about sexuality.

This man has serious issues to answer for. As Liberal Democrats Leader he should be able to give straight answers about sexuality as his inability to provide straight answers on this issues increasingly looks like a very serious personality flaw.

Other political leaders have been very clear about where they stand on the said issues and have prominent representatives that are openly homosexual or bisexual that had stood in the House of Commons. Tim Farron is letting himself down and is letting his political party down by not providing clear cut answers.
