boris johnson the British Prime Moron Tweets Contents of a Letter to President Macron about Migrants

by fidelito November 26, 2021 in Politics 0 comments

This in my book ain’t about grandstanding but rather about pure stupidity & ignorance; you know the kind of dumb tweets we got used to from Donald Trump; hence the perception of boris as mini Trump. It is truly disgusting to see a British so called leader behave like 5 […]

State of the Union: The Static State of “Wishful Thinking”

by fidelito October 21, 2021 in Policy, Politics 2 comments

It seems to me that the moto driving EU Policy nowadays is/has been for some time all about a state of Wishful Thinking – direct action is far away from the equation in so far as dealing with issues head on rather than playing for time with rhetoric or sanctions […]

The BREXIT Drag: UK Labour (a Lost Cause) UK Conservatives (a Wrong Cause) UK LibDems (a Wasted Cause) – Good Luck Great Britain (sorry I meant to say…..UK)

by fidelito October 12, 2021 in Policy, Politics 0 comments

BREXIT is truly a story of zero options. The UK Labour is for all intents and purposes a support mechanism the Conservative/BREXIT party with a useless leader who provides no viable alternative and I suspect prefers for the Conservative be the face of BREXIT because he has or believes in […]

Well well well; long time no “post” on BREXIT. The reason is quite simple; it’s because it’s been consistently following it’s downward trajectory that many have predicted so it’s kind of boring posting about each news item pertaining to the ramifications of BREXIT. Today however something changed; I heard & […]
