Rishi Sunak vs Keir Starmer?


Recent years in Britain has been the scene of a political catastrophe, from David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak to the soon to be Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Is this a fait accompli or could there be other developments in the making?

Looking at the teams - and this is about teams - what are the major differences between the two teams?

This is a specially tricky time both in national affairs and in international affairs. There are major concerns in terms of international events that could send countries over the edge. We need to look in both directions - across the Atlantic to see what is happening in the USA and across the Channel to see what is happening in France. If the unthinkable happens, whoever is Prime Minister in Britain might be dealing with Donald Trump in the USA and with Marine Le Pen in France.

Could we end up with a hung Parliament? Could the unthinkable happen leading to a Conservative win, whatever tight it might be?

If anything, apart from mass media reactions and the fact that not less than 73 Conservative MPs announced that they will not be standing for re-election, there is widespread apathy. Could the Labout Party be divided along national borders, ethnic differences and ideological differences to the point that an easy victory can turn out to be not just a tight victory but also a tight defeat?

Who can we believe? Can we believe mass media? Both major parties are losing membership support and voters are crossing new boundaries. Both Greens and Reform did pretty well all things considered and this in local elections - particularly in London. Could disaffected voters look for other alternatives?

Johnson Vs Sunak: The big loser is the Conservative Party

 

Rishi Sunak has played right into the hands of the Opposition by using a Committee headed by none other than Harriet Harman. Now, who is Harriet Harman? The MP standing for Peckham was so unpopular in her own political party that when she was on the list to appoint the next Speaker of the House, she could practically count on her vote only. Harriet Harman publicly declared that she was out to get Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak and Conservative MPs that made up the special committee played along. This is the state of Conservative Party that is now facing at least three by-elections in a row, that recently lost thousands of Councillos in local elections and that faces the propect of losing most if not all the seat that were won when Boris Johnson was at the helm of the Conservative Party. It was Boris Johnson's political dexterity that led thousands of Labour voters in the so called Red Wall to trust the Conservative Party. Now, Rishi Sunak has committed harakiri by getting rid of the man that gave the Conservative Party an 80 seat majority. Before Boris Johnson, Theresa May managed to lose a Conservative majority by calling an election that was an utter disaster for the Conservative Party. Theresa May's ill adviced election call was what allow John Bercow as Speaker of the House Commons to manipulate the democratic system to the point that even the unelected Judiciary had a say in the democratic process. John Bercow was later publicly exposed as a bully and was not even allowed to enter the Houses of Parliament.

What happens next? Well, Labour voters who trusted the Conservative Party because of Boris Johnson might not be around a second time. Conservative voters completely disenfranchised could vote for other political parties or abstain - whether they vote for other political parties or abstain matters very little. What matters is that they will not be supporting the Conservative Party. And the next question is: is the present Conservative Party a Conservative Party? The Conservative leadership under Rishi Sunak has not told members of the public that no new legislation is needed to prevent illegal migration. In fact, the legislation already exists and has international recognition, but the present administration does not want to implement it. If present legislation were used, no Rwanda schemes and no ship schemes would be necessary. Instead, cranky schemes after cranky schemes are abandoned at huge cost for British taxpayers and migration levels keep rising unabated. If your local economy has been ruined by illegal migration under a Conservative administration, would you still vote to have more of the same?

Smaller political parties that before used not to put forward candidates because they did not want to divide the vote are not going to be abstaining. They are going to stand up even if this means ensuring the demise of the Conservative Party because they say that what is shown on the label is not what is in the bottle that they have been offered.

Now, let's compare the two men's credentials. Boris Johnson was chosen by the electorate and by members of the Conservative Party. Rishi Sunak was not chosen by the electorate and he actually managed to lose internally because Conservative members chose Liz Truss instead. Apart from the election that allowed him to become a Member of Parliament, Rishi Sunak has not won any election and, even more, Rishi Sunak was not chosen by Conservative Party members. 

Boris Johnson not only won elections to become a Member of Parliament and Conservative Party Leader. Boris Johnson has a history of winning elections including elections to become London Mayor. Being a successful businessman does not make you a good politician. Boris Johnson has the political acumen that the Conservative Party failed to have this year when local elections were fought and lost, and acumen that is not going to be around at the General Election and at the local elections including the London Elections in 2024.

The next General Election is due to take place on May 2nd, 2024. In previous elections, the Conservative Party was wiped out in Wales and in Scotland and this time England will follow. And what will happen to investors' trust? What will happen to economic recovery? Britain could be on her way to become a gigantic Slough Authority under the rule of a political party that promises one thing on Monday only to change its mind the day after. Tuition fees or no tuition fees? Green plans or no Green plans? They promise something because it sounds nice and popular, without making the sums to know if they can deliver or not what they are promising.

European Union could re-start war in Northern Ireland: Rishi Sunak hanging from a thread

 

European Union could re-start war in Northern Ireland: Rishi Sunak hanging from a thread

European Union is bent on destroying the United Kingdom, but the nearest chapters could be very bloody. Forcing Rishi Sunak to accept unacceptable terms, EU could trigger a new conflict in Northern Ireland that could spread and affect community relations motivating attacks against Asians if such deal is seen as the actual partition of the United Kingdom and there are precedents. Prime Minister Theresa May was very quickly given her marching orders and there were no other repercussions apart from the end of her political aspirations. In Rish Sunak's case the situation is a lot worse. If anger grows against an Asian Prime Minister classified as a traitor, things could become extremely ugly. This is one of the reasons why Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being very cautious. He knows that Boris Johnson and Liz Truss are not the worst that could happen to him and his family and countless of other families across the United Kingdom.

Many politicians, including some in the European Union, have claimed that they want to protect the Good Friday Agreement and Peace in Northern Ireland, but paradoxically they are doing their worst to destroy the Good Friday Agreement and Peace in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Assembly has been paralized not once, but several times forcing the Westminster Parliament to impose some kind of direct rule. If a deal means the end of power sharing then the Good Friday Agreement will be dead and violent confrontation will flare up with little to prevent it. Because of the ethnicity of the Prime Minister, there is the certain danger that things could spread like wildfire across the entire United Kingdom.

What happens in Northern Ireland is being closely followed by external operators, and especially at a time when NATO is bent on making things worse in Europe.

BBC's pitfalls and Rory Stewart's obstinacy talking about putting Theresa May's Deal to the vote yet again

BBC's pitfalls and Rory Stewart's obstinacy talking about putting Theresa May's Deal to the vote yet again

Lack of due diligence led the BBC into a trap of its own making. Trying to question Boris Johnson about comments he made long before he became a leadership contender, the BBC invited an Imam to talk about Islamophobia only to find out hours later that the said Iman that has now been expelled by his Mosque and by the school where he was Deputy Headmaster had been writing anti-Semitic comments and derogatory comments about women. Not a happy time for the BBC that was recently put on the spot for getting rid of free TV Licenses for over 75s and for the amounts paid to certain individuals, salaries paid with the income produced by TV Licenses.

Rory Stewart made a fundamental gaffe. The foundation of his argument to become Prime Minister was the idea of trying to push through the House of Commons the very same deal negotiated by Theresa May that was rejected by the House of Commons three times. In the first round he got 19 votes and manage to increase his support to 37 votes, but right after the BBC debate his support simply collapsed losing 10 votes of the 37 he had.

Tomorrow, there be will another round and there would be additional rounds until two candidates are left with the most votes. A series of hustings will take place across the country in which members of the Conservative Party will listen and then vote to decide who is going to be the next British Prime Minister. But, as Churchill stated, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." 

The newly elected Conservative Prime Minister will have to deal with the same fragmented Parliament and as the October 31, 2019 deadline approaches tensions will rise even more. With the EU in a state of disarray, with the Labour Party extremely divided, nobody is the in mood for negotiations. The choice is still a binary option.

The unforeseen consequences of Brexit War


The unforeseen consequences of Brexit War

What the surveys indicate it is not just Parliament that is divided. The gap between positions involving Leave and Remain is growing. The centre is disappearing and polarisation is growing reaching dangerous levels.

Until now, Members of Parliament on both sides of the argument have complained that they are being targeted by those that hate their stances regarding Brexit. A SNP MP stated that he is afraid for his personal safety. Anne Soubry MP stated that she is afraid of going home. Others stated that they are not walking around but driven in cars in spite of short distances. This is not just about vocal threats. This is about real life threatening threats. It is difficult not to appreciate that the number of armed Police officers deployed in and around the Houses of Parliament is growing. 

As I was walking nearby the Houses of Parliament I look at the memorial plate of a Police Officer killed by a crazed fanatic Muslim convert. The dangers Members of Parliament face when dealing with Brexit are much greater. What happened to Jo Cox is just the tip of the iceberg. More and more people dislike politicians and despise Members of Parliament that they no longer trust. This is much more than the expenses scandal. It is much bigger than the sexual harassment scandal that has divided Members of Parliament. 

The Brexit Process is reviving British Nationalism and also English Nationalism and there are plenty of those around who would take matters into their own hands as Parliament is seen as going against the will of the people expressed in the EU Referendum.

The Prime Minister has stated that she will not accept any decision by Parliament that goes against Brexit. Theresa May carefully tries to avoid another European Parliament Election for very good reasons. If there is an extension that goes much beyond May 23rd 2019, Britain will have to take part in European Elections and UKIP and others are ready for it. The backlash against parties represented in Parliament will lead to a vast number of seats of the so called Far Right in the European Parliament that added to the number of seats that it is foreseen similar political parties will gain in May 2019 will turn the European Parliament into a gigantic nightmare for the Establishment. Getting seats in the European Parliament will strengthen British Nationalists beyond everything that they have been able to achieve until now at a time when support for both Labour and Conservatives is at an all time low.

Cancelling Brexit, Parliament will unleash forces that have until now being kept under check. Words like 'Traitor' and 'Nazi' are now being used against those called Remainers and anger is growing. This could be the last drop of patience after a long list of scandals, failures and deceit.

Brexit: The climate of political uncertainty could lead to the unthinkable

Brexit: The climate of political uncertainty could lead to the unthinkable

This evening while travelling I asked an elderly passenger on a train going home if in his own personal experience he had witnessed a political crisis like the one Britain is facing right now. You can ask a politician, a journalist, an ordinary member of the public and nobody has the faintest idea about 'what next?'.

The House of Commons is due to consider on January 29 2018 a deal negotiated by Prime Minister Theresa May that will be presumably exactly the same deal that many Members of Parliament said that they would reject because they think that it is a very bad deal for Britain and its relations with the European Union, a deal that does not respect the will of the British Electorate expressed in the 2016 Referendum on EU Membership.

There are those who push for a Vote of No Confidence against the present British government headed by Theresa May. Some see it as a way to force Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. Some talk about a General Election and others talk about a new Referendum on EU Membership.

One wonders about what could happen if Theresa May - that has just been confirmed as Leader of the Conservative Party after a Leadership Challenge - loses a Vote of No Confidence in the House of Commons. Even if the Deal the Prime Minister negotiated by Parliament, Theresa May would continue as Prime Minister because of regulations of the Conservative Party that prevent any challenges. She could stay as Prime Minister for another year.

Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn hesitates about asking for a Vote of No confidence. Having done the political sums, he knows that a Vote of No Confidence is a risky option. Members of Parliament from all political parties - including the Labour Party - could vote against it. It could unite the Conservative Party and produce an embarrassing defeat for the Labour Party under his leadership. Moreover, most Labour Constituencies across the country voted to Leave the European Union.

At Committee Level, enquiries have continued about the level of preparedness to face a No Deal outcome. The legality of the Deal proposed by Prime Minister Theresa May has been questioned since it goes against legislation passed by Parliament that determined that Britain will be leaving the European Union on March 29th 2019.  

In May 2019, about a month after Britain is set to leave the European Union, there will be European Parliament Elections that would produce a new political reality in the European Union. What kind of EU Parliament and what kind of European Commission would the said elections produce? Would there be a more favourable environment in terms of a better agreement with the United Kingdom?

Prime Minister Theresa May was severely criticised for not putting her Deal to a vote on the day it was supposed to be put to a vote. Some say that it happened because she was afraid of yet another significant defeat in the House of Commons that could end her political career. Others say that she is playing for time trying to get further concessions from the EU.

Brexit, Theresa May and Votes of No Confidence

Brexit, Theresa May and Votes of No Confidence

If the 2017 General Election and threats of deselection in the Labour Party tell us that even if there is  Leadership Challenge in the Conservative Party or No Confidence vote in the House of Commons the outcome of such events is by no means certain.

Given the rules of the Conservative Party, if the 48 signatures needed are gathered there will have to be enough Conservative MPs willing to support the challenge against Theresa May. Another calculation that needs to be made is if there are suitable replacements. Is there one Conservative MP willing to stand up with enough support from all factions of a very divided Conservative Party? If the number of MPs ready and willing to support the challenge is not found, Theresa May will be confirmed as Leader and a year will have to pass before there can be another challenge.

After the experiences of what happened in the 2017 General Election, many Conservative MPs will think twice or thrice before challenging the present status quo for fear of losing their seats and opening the door to a Jeremy Corbyn government.

In the Labour Party, the threat of deselection of Labour MPs is very real. Will those Labour MPs standing against Jeremy Corbyn want to take the risk of opening the door to a Jeremy Corbyn government and lose their seats in the process? They might also choose to maintain the status quo for fear of losing their seats and of seeing very unpopular policies implemented by a government led by Jeremy Corbyn. Many Labour MPs feel more secure in their seats having a Conservative government and have more in common with certain factions of the Conservative Party than with their own colleagues of the Labour Party.

The SNP and the Liberal Democrats tried to push Jeremy Corbyn asking him to put forward a Vote of No Confidence. Because he knows that despite the fact that many Labour MPs are against Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn knows that a vast number of Labour voters support Brexit. So for the moment, there is no enthusiasm for a Vote of No Confidence. Moreover, the Labour Party has no credible alternative and is very much stuck and unable to offer a solution. All they have been able to do is to attack the Conservative Party to try and hide divisions and lack of alternatives within the Labour Party.

The Labour Party can say that they are very much in favour of General Election but in reality many Labour MPs fear that the prospect of a General Election could lead to a purge of the Parliamentarian Labour Party. To avert the danger of deselection some prominent MPs have said that they would stand as Independent Labour Candidates, trusting that voters would give them the support that they don't have from their own Labour branches.

Brexit: Prime Minister Theresa May cancels critical vote and there is widespread chaos

Brexit: Prime Minister Theresa May cancels critical vote and there is widespread chaos

The House of Commons was the scene of mayhem today after unexpectedly Prime Minister Theresa May announced that she had postponed a vote on the Brexit Deal she had negotiated with the European Union. After  more than 3 hours speaking in the House of Commons the Prime Minister left the debating chamber and it was up to the Leader of the House to try and deal with a barrage coming from all sides questioning what had just happened.

It was reported that Prime Minister Theresa May was on her way to Europe to try and get a helping hand to save whatever is left of the Conservative government. A very sombre mood took over the remaining members of the Cabinet still sitting in the House of Commons that couldn't hide their despair. A Conservative MP compared the British Government to a group of children that had run away and were hiding in the toilets.

Fearing a disastrous defeat in the House of Commons that could have immediately triggered a Motion of No Confidence that could have meant the end of her career as Prime Minister, Theresa May told the House of Commons that she had postponed the vote to try and deal with the issue of the backstop contained as a key part of the deal that practically everybody rejects and it was said that the Prime Minister was on her way to Europe to try and salvage whatever could be salvaged of the deal that has unified Members of Parliament of all political parties against the Conservative Government.

Yesterday, I compared Theresa May to Neville Chamberlain. She was talking about reassurances that would lead everybody to support the deal but she was reminded of the fact that reassurances without legal force would do nothing to change what has been a political disaster of major proportions. Unless the legal text of the deal is modified to get rid of the backstop, the deal would be totally unacceptable for both Brexiteers and Remainers.

She started her Premiership on a winning note but she made a fundamental mistake when she called an early election and lost her Parliamentary majority in the House of Commons forcing her to depend on the support provided by DUP. As if this wasn't enough, she then lied to the DUP and agreed a deal that went against what she had promised to the DUP. Tonight, the negotiators of the European Union hold the key that could either save or sink Prime Minister Theresa May. Smelling blood, the Labour Party went on the attack and now the fate of Britain could be decided by the Courts as voices asking to disallow the call for the implementation of Article 50 grow ever louder. Yesterday, there was the talk about calling a second Referendum on EU Membership. If the Opposition to Brexit manages to block the full implementation of Article 50 everything would back to square one without even having to win a Referendum and the decision made by the British Electorate in 2016 would be de-facto ignored.

Brexit: December 11th 2018 House of Commons

Brexit: December 11th 2018 House of Commons

One month after the 11th of November 2018, the anniversary of Armistice Day comes the vote in the House of Commons of the deal proposed by Prime Minister Theresa May that according to UK's Attorney General and main legal adviser of the British government is a legal trap that will transform the United Kingdom into a colony of a foreign power.

Once in there is every change that Britain will be never out transforming what Theresa May categorised as a deal to comply with the decision made by the British Electorate in the EU Membership Referendum of 2016 into a trap that will leave Britain in a much worse position both politically and economically.

It has been said that Theresa May who campaigned to remain in the European Union has deliberately plotted to keep the United Kingdom inside the European Union and that without caring for the United Kingdom she broke a deal that will actually enslave an entire country and subject to the designs of the European Union.

But there is much worse to come. Sources from within the British Armed Forces have indicated that in secret meetings the British Prime Minister has agreed to surrender the British Armed Forces and British Security Services including MI5 an MI6 to the European Union.

If what many fear becomes a reality, Britain will be faced with a political crisis of major proportions comparable to the British Civil War, a Charles I/Oliver Cromwell moment, in which heads will be chopped.


Tuesday, December 11th 2018 is also a crucial deal for all political parties involved. The Status Quo might no longer be an option and political fragmentation is in the cards.

Theresa May; The Plot thickens about what will be the outcome of one of the worst political crisis in British History with dramatic repercussions for EU

Theresa May: The Plot thickens about what will be the outcome of one of the worst political crisis in British History


As events come to a climax in the House of Commons with the final vote on the Brexit Deal broke out by Prime Minister Theresa May, we keep an eye on what is happening in Germany at the heart of CDU - one of the key components of the ruling German Coalition headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Angela Merkel gave up his place as Leader of CDU and was succeeded by Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer that is seen as a moderate Leader that came up a winner leaving behind Angela Merkel's archenemy Friedrich Merz.

But in spite of this, it could be the case that Angela Merkel will not last until the end her term as German Chancellor that is conditional to their junior coalition partner the SPD.

When in Germany there is the equivalent of a political tsunami, in France things are getting thicker by the minute. The Gilet Jaune Movement could lead to a state of emergency of even the use of the military against protesters. If this were to happen, it would prove that President Macron on top of being one of the least - if not the least - popular President in the history of France has literally not a leg to stand on.

As Germany and France keep pushing towards forcing EU member countries to accept immigrants or face a heave price by having to subsidise countries that do accept immigrants, the situation in the remaining EU countries is not straightforward. If the Theresa May's deal is rejected by the House of Commons it will also add to the political uncertainty in the European Union piling up financial tensions. Without British money (Britain is the second most important donor to finance the EU Budget), Germany and France would have go cap in hand to ask for more monies to finance the EU budget and pay for flood immigration.

Let us remember that the budget proposed for Italy by the Italian ruling coalition was rejected by the European Union and that Italy is not fit to provide any more funding for the EU. Other countries, including Greece but not exclusively Greece don't have the financial capacity to pay more for the EU Budget either.

In the last election, Angela Merkel that barely managed to gather the votes to form a government was forced to engage in a series of negotiations with FDP and Grünen. When efforts to reach an agreement with FDP and Grünen failed, at the last minute she reached an agreement with SPD. What happened next tells the full story. In state elections in Bavaria, both the CSU (associate party of CDU) and SPD were routed in the elections. Then came CDU's turn in Hesse with comparable losses. The natural consequence was that Alternative für Deutschland has now representatives not just in the Bundestag but also in every single State Parliament in Germany. Will a fragile ruling coalition be able to extract more money from German taxpayers without causing another political rift?

At this point in time, all those who want Britain to remain a member of the European Union must ask themselves very serious questions. They need to be thinking very carefully about the kind of the European Union that is coming. Zac Goldsmith - Jewish Conservative MP - spoke very clearly about the political threats in an European Union that is in meltdown.

Britain is due to leave the European Union on March 29th 2019. For all the talk about a transition period that could go as far as 2020 in some cases or even 2022, or even become an "indefinite transition period", it is impossible to predict the kind of European Union that will be around during such transition period.

For Theresa May the date is December 11th 2019, according to the latest bit of news. But there are rumours about the vote in the House of Commons being postponed to avert a disastrous defeat that could put an end to Theresa May's Premiership leading to massive political conflicts. What will actually happen on December 11th 2019 and soon after December 11th 2019 is everybody's guess but what we have seen and heard is not reassuring.

Brexit's new nightmare: Theresa May allows a motion of disclosure of legal advice that comes to haunt her

Brexit's new nightmare: Theresa May allows a motion to disclosure of legal advice on new deal that comes to haunt her.

Geoffrey Cox MP - UK Attorney General - confirms that May's deal is a pile of dangerous shit - a calculated risk he called it.

What the so called deal actually does is to lock up Britain and put Britain forever at the mercy of the European Union, unable to come out of a bad deal.
Sticking to what Geoffrey Cox MP said on the floor of the House of Commons, Theresa May's deal is actually an act of treason that transforms Britain into a colony - forced to adopt decisions made by the European Union and unable to challenge decisions made by the European Union. Not the kind of Brexit that people voted for in 2016 on the EU Membership Referendum.

Parliament now wants to know what exactly the legal advice give to Prime Minister Theresa May was - not a bit of it but the whole of it. Theresa May's is terrified of the truth coming out just a few days before the so called Deal is going to be put to the vote in the House of Commons. The vote is due to take place on December 11th 2018.

Theresa May refuses to protect Pakistani Christian Woman for fear of offending Muslim Terrorists in UK

Theresa May refuses to protect Pakistani Christian Woman for fear of offending Muslim Terrorists in UK

Asia Bibi - Christian Pakistani 
You couldn't make it up. British Prime Minister is afraid of Muslim Terrorists living in the United Kingdom and for this reason refuses to offer asylum to Christian Pakistani woman Asia Bibi, member of a Christian Pakistani community under threat.

Such fear is the same kind of fear that motivated politicians and Police to look the other way when thousands of children were being raped and killed by Muslim rape gangs mostly made up of Pakistani Muslims.

When activists like Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen campaigned against Muslim rape gangs and Muslim extremists, they ended up in jail accused of racism and terrorism. Why do Muslims seek refuge in Western Christian countries? Because they are running away from the so called Religion of Peace.

Brexit: To be or not to be

Brexit: To be or not to be

The crisis that arose out of an impossibility is reaching a new climax. You cannot be and not be at the same time. You cannot be out of the EU and in the EU at the same time.

Brexiteers want an all out which is the real OUT and not the fake OUT proposed by Remainers that want to stay in by pretending that being out can be also mean to be in.

If you stay in the Common Market, if you stay in the Customs Union, you cannot possibly be out. If the price to stay in the Common Market and in the Customs Union is to continue following EU Rules, you cannot possibly be out. Out must mean out. Out means total freedom. Partial out means becoming a colony of the EU. 

What will happen to Prime Minister Theresa May? Well, there are several possible outcomes. She can manipulate the Conservative Party but has to also be able to persuade the Opposition for a deal with EU to be approved by the House of Commons. She could face a leadership challenge and fail to get enough support or she could face a leadership challenge and be removed from office. She could face a vote of No Confidence in the House of Commons and this would mean that the Conservative will have to choose a successor. Some mention the possibility of an advanced General Election but we must remember that the Conservative/Liberal Democrat Coalition that took office in 2010 change the way General Elections are called and created the concept of Fixed Term Parliament. Legislation would have to be approved in the House of Commons to be able to call an advanced General Election. Are there enough votes in the House of Commons to call an advanced General Election?

Angela Merkel stated this evening that there won't be any other deal, thus closing the door to any negotiation. Therefore, for the British Parliament, this is case of 'take it or leave it'. If the House of Commons rejects the deal presented by Theresa May and supported by EU, there is not going to be any deal. Remainers keep fantasising about a new deal that is not actually on the cards because EU has already rejected the possibility of any other deal.

EU is profoundly anti-democratic. EU is run by what we could call Democratic Centralism - the way the Communist Party operated in the Soviet Union = Decisions taken inside a cabinet in total secrecy without any Parliamentary scrutiny. Britain is a Parliamentary Democracy and Brexit means being a Parliamentary Democracy. Having Brexit means maintaining the democratic way of life. If you are given the choice between being in a Parliamentary Democracy or in a Soviet Democratic Centralism, what would you choose?

Britain's future hanging from a thread

Britain's Future hangs from a thread

With the arrival of Britain's chief negotiator for talks with his EU counterpart, everything is for the taking/losing.

EU authorities asked all remaining members of the European Union to prepare for No Deal while in Britain whatever was agreed at Checkers by the Conservative Party Cabinet is a poison chalice that has created cross party political anger for various reasons and put the survival of Theresa May into question. From both sides of the political divide concerning the EU, so called White Paper is seen as an act of treason that puts Britain in the middle of road and ready to be crashed by passing traffic.

The country has been undoubtedly divided but we are now entering a cycle of polarisation that could have extremely serious consequences including widespread violence. Trying to please everybody, the British Prime Minister has put her neck on the chopping block and leadership is badly needed to get Britain out of the present and very serious predicament.

Should Theresa May fall, the Conservative Party would still lack an absolute majority in Parliament and it could mean that even with the votes of the Democratic Unionist Party there wouldn't be enough seats to allow the Conservative Party to rule without being a minority government because depending on who succeeds Theresa May there will be Conservative MPs that would walk away. Not for the first time the ruling Conservative Party has been divided about how to deal with the European Union.

As it has been said over and over again, the country must be ready for No Deal and all government departments have been asked to make preparations for No Deal but, as things stand at the moment, the country must also prepare for the possibility of a General Election in the autumn. But even if there was a General Election, such General Election is not expected to provide a new political balance as both Conservatives and Labour face their own internal divisions.

Porton Down is Britain's Chernobyl

Porton Down is Britain's Chernobyl

Britain must stop producing chemical weapons in Porton Down. There is one cover up after another to make people forget that Britain is producing dangerous substances near inhabited areas and putting millions of British lives in danger.

The facilities in Porton Down must be closed down and the installations must be made safe before there is a catastrophe. Blaming a foreign country is a childish way of trying to hide the fact that Britain, despite signing treaties against chemical weapons, is producing chemical weapons.

About four months ago, the British authorities said that there was no longer any danger. They knew that there is danger because British authorities have created the danger and taken unacceptable levels of risk and endangering human life in the United Kingdom.

Theresa May knows and others involved know full well that Britain is in violation of conventions regarding chemical weapons and this is why they keep lying and lying and lying even more. Porton Down is Britain's chernobyl and things could get a lot worse.

British Ministry of Defense says there is no evidence of Russian involvement

Prime Minister Theresa May has been exposed as a laughing stock. Her government and those in Parliament from all political parties that jumped to conclusions without evidence are a laughing stock.

Time for apologies to the Russian Federation and to the Russian people and also apologies to all Diplomatic staff and their families affected by Theresa May's stupidity.

From British Empire to British Circus ruled by clowns.

Russia: Very Theresa May's style

YES PRIME MINISTER

A very straightforward explanation of Theresa May's actions against Russian Federation.

Theresa May's lack of political acumen gave Jeremy Corbyn a golden gift

Theresa May's lack of political acumen gave Jeremy Corbyn a golden gift

The handling of the incident involving a former MI6 agent has been the lowest point of Theresa May's career as Prime Minister of Britain.

For months, Theresa May has been battered and bruised for her performance in relation to the EU and an elusive deal to settle Britain's withdrawal from the EU.

Of course that in a first instance the incident involving the MI6 former agent and his daughter might have looked like a very good opportunity to divert attention from troublesome negotiations that have divided the Conservative Party from top to botton with factions within the party that threaten to derail the whole Brexit process. When the genie got out of the bottle as the incident got a life of its own, mass media pressures forced the hand of the Prime Minister to make a statement when there isn't concrete evidence about who's done it and why. She accused the Russian government and issued ultimatums that in the end will show how weak she really is. Her behaviour threatens to damage not just relationships between the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation but also relationships that will negatively affect the mass media. When the idea of banning RT was put forward, the Russian Federation immediately said that should Britain ban RT all British media will not be allowed to operate in the Russian Federation. But this is only one aspect of the predicament of her own making.

Another aspect of the predicament is that taking the issue to Parliament as she did she exposed the entire Conservative Party to criticism when the Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn asked the Prime Minister about donations made by Russian oligarchs to the Conservative Party. It is well known that many Russian oligarchs are opposed to President Putin because President Putin has campaigned against Russian oligarchs and chased many of them in cases of fraud. Many of those giving monies to the Conservative Party are naturally against the Russian government and are not reliable witnesses nor the kind of people you would like to be associated with.

Before the incident involving a former MI6 agent came to public knowledge, the Prime Minister was already struggling with the fact that in the electoral contest that is due to take place in May 2018 the Conservative Party is said to be bound to do pretty badly. She practically lost the 2017 General Election because of political miscalculation. If the Conservative Party does as badly as it has been foreseen, her position as Leader of the Conservative Party will become untenable. Giving the Labour Party the motto "Conservative Party funded by Russian Oligarchs", she has done the already faltering Conservative Party no favour whatsoever.

The Conservative Party has a very difficult relationship with many of the local Conservative Party associations and a disastrous performance in the coming local elections will not improve relationships between Central Office and local associations many of which are on a war footing complaining that Central Office imposed on them candidates that they didn't want. This time round the issue is local elections but the next time round it will be about seats in the House of Commons. A weakened leader, a divided Parliamentary party and seriously strained relations between Central Office and local associations is not a recipe for success.

Can the Conservative Party be salvaged? There are several factions in the Conservative Party and there is hardly one person that could unite them all. Jacob Rees Mogg is a highly consistent politician but is resisted by a number of Conservative MPs that have threatened to leave the party if Jacob Rees Mogg is elected Leader of the Conservative Party. In the end, having Jacob Rees Mogg could be a price worth paying for the sake of having a genuine Conservative Party. Jacob Rees Mogg offers traditional Conservative Party principles and clarity of purpose is what the Conservative Party most needs at this moment in time.

Conservative Party fails to explain why it is accepting money from criminals

Conservative Party fails to explay why it is accepting money from criminals

The anti-Russian hysteria came to a climax in Britain, in a country that produces chemical weapons in Porton Down close to populated areas.

In the process, the Prime Minister failed to explain why the Conservative Party is being funded by criminals who hate President Putinn and hate the Russian Federation.

A whole chapter of fabrications was once again mentioned. Alexander Litvinenko was killed by MI5 when Andrei Lugovoi came to offer Litvinenko safe passage in exchange for compromising evidence against Boris Berezovsky at a time when Berezovsky was supporting Chechen rebels allied to AlQaeda and Taliban when British soldiers were fighting in Afghanistan.

After Alexander Litvinenko's death, I was asked to gather evidence against Boris Berezovsky but Berezovsky was killed by MI5 to tie up loose ends and put an end to the whole saga that was deeply damaging for the British government.

What a shambolic government and what a shambolic Parliament. Jeremy Corbyn was absolutely right to ask Conservatives why they are accepting monies from Mafia but Conservatives refused to return monies from criminals.

Labour Party: It is not anti-Semitic to criticize Israel

Labour Party: It is not anti-Semitic to criticize Israel

Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic but there is a Zionist Witch-hunt going on across the United Kingdom.

Labour Party activists are being hunted from within the Labour Party and some of them are being expelled.

The CAA - Mossad within Number Ten Downing Street - has self-declared links with the British Prime Minister and with Police Forces in the United Kingdom that are being used as part of a Zionist-organised persecution of anybody who dares to stand against Zionism or dares to criticize Israel's actions in Palestine including the deportation of African refugees that are being thrown out by the government of Israel that is carrying out military operations in Syria and talking about annexing the West Bank - a meeting of the Likud Party supported further annexation of territories that were not party of the original Jewish State of Israel as sanctioned and authorised by the Organisation of the United Nations in 1948.

In the meantime civil freedoms in the United Kingdom are being eroded and anti-Terror legislation is being used by Zionist organisations to persecute anybody who dares to criticize Israel or questions its propaganda apparatus.

As part of the destruction of civil freedoms, Habeas Corpus and the Presumption of Innocence have been technically abolished. Today, everybody is guilty until proven innocent. Detention without trial for political reasons is now a reality in the United Kingdom turning the clock back to the times of Autocratic Rule in which Monarchs could imprison and execute political opponents.

 
Sadly, this is happening in the United Kingdom in which in some cases the names of those arrested and put on trial are kept secret as if the authorities were afraid of public opinion. Secrecy is often a synonym of Dirty.

British Soldiers, people who put their lives on the line of fire for Queen and Country, are being kept in British jails before trials have even started and remanded in custody. Trust, what Trust? Justice, what justice?
