What would happen to British politics if an Islamic political party was created? 

Looking at demographics, it is easy to imagine that if Muslim communities stopped supporting existing political parties and decided to create an Islamic Party such political party would be very successful. Muslim families tend to have more children and therefore, every year, the number of those supporting the said party electorally would be increasing. Nowadays, a sizeable number of those coming to Britain as refugees come from Muslim countries and with European countries increasingle averse to accept Muslim refugees the numbers of those coming to UK would also be growing up.

If Jeremy Corbyn wanted to increase his political influence, he is making all the right moves. Those he is now joining as a group happen to be mostly former Labour candidates and former Labour members now acting as Independents that happen to be Muslim. As the Conservative Party did before, Labour is alienating Muslim voters. More conservative Muslim voters not only oppose the mainstream political parties' policies and attitudes regarding Israel. They also oppose sexual ideology that openly contradicts traditional Muslim values.

Ukraine. Will sending obsolete equipment help or hamper war effforts at the same time that raises the stakes?

There is an awareness that equipment sent is obsolete or surplus and that also banned weapons are being sent to a theatre of war thus increasing the risk that all weapons will be allowed including nuclear and chemical weapons.

Let us remember in which year we are: 2023. When were the F16s introduced? 17 August 1978. NATO is sending flying coffins.

The longer the confllict goes on the greater the risk of greater involvement and we must also think about the issue of population movements that can seriously affect host countries. Even if at the beginning of the exodus host countries are willing to show solidarity, sooner than later welcoming attitudes turn to contempt and fatigue.

Poland itself has proposed a referendum on migration to challenge EU policies on migration. Hungary has been pretty open about its unhappiness about huge numbers of migrants coming to Hungary. Within the EU, countries hold different views about migration and especailly after decades of mass migration not just from within Europe, but from far away. 

Migration has political consequences because in the end it is all about social stability and economics. The Covid Pandemic led to lockdown that had a negative widespread effect. This combined with the energy crisis and migration has not made life any easier and suddenly we are having to cope with inflation that is more than double what the Bank of England was expected to manage.

Politicians have a way of manipulating facts regarding migration, pandemics, and any other factors involved, causes and consequences, in a way to suit their own political agendas and this is not helpful at all because, on top of lack of data, they add confusion and instability. This is especially serious when elections are on the horizon. Rationality dies to be replaced by irrationality reinforced by lack of knowledge.

Europe: Will things be better with a European War or without a European War?

When you see the jubilant pictures on the streets at the start of World War One you see how stupid people can be when it comes to war. They were talking about heroism, adventure, glory and in the end there were piles of corpses of those seeking heroism, adventure and glory.

More than a hundred years later, we see either jubilant faces or faces of people who are oblivious to the dangers of another catastrophic war happening again.

If anything, during World War One and after World War One, and during and after World World Two there were massive changes. Don't believe for a second that life will be the same. The ways of life of today will be history. If the idea was to maintain what was, those who wanted wars or were forced to fight wars deluded themselves. Much of what they cared about was wiped out by war itself.

Britain went to war to defeat Germany and at the end, despite being classed as victorious, Britain was defeated. Families destroyed, the economy ruined, a vast amount of debt to be paid for many years to come and the colonial empire lost. Britain was one of the victors, but at what price? Most of Europe was defeated. From then onwards it was about USA and Soviet Union. For many decades to come, decisions were made in USA and in Moscow, and Britain had to follow and pay for the consequences. Today, the picture is bigger - USA, Russian Federation and China - but Britain is still forced to follow and pay for the consequences.

Adolf Hitler wanted a European Union controlled by Germany. So what is today's European Union? Which is the key country in the European Union? Who has a greater say in the European Union? Most of Europe still has to please the USA. Will war in Europe change that? Rearming Europe - we hear a lot about that - sounds like a very familiar idea. Where and when did we hear such idea before? Olaf Scholz promised hundred of billions of Euros to rear Germany. What does this mean? Will a stronger Europe be so docile? What happens when European armies are tested once again on the battlefield. Once the genie is out of the bottle it will not willingly go back into the bottle. Once German armies are on the battlefield the Pandora's box will be opened.
