My message to our “clever” politicians out there lets NOT get too clever with our discussions on BREXIT until we sort out our process.

A BREXIT Nugget: The Devil is Truly in the Detail
In the previous post here I eluded to the fact that politicians seem to be focused on details of a BREXIT deal, party conflicts/compromises, opt ins/outs among others. Of course this is all right/proper under normal circumstances. The reason there is significant difficulties here is the flawed process that got […]

Jewish Papers Unite Against Corbyn (commentary)
I am certainly no fan of Jeremy Corbyn or the Labour Party on policy – particularly when it comes to BREXIT – but I am utterly against any indication of political influence in our nation based on religion, ethnicity or culture. Religious freedoms should NOT translate to political influence and […]

A BREXIT Nugget: Leadership & Vision Desperately Needed
In a way I am happy that Mrs. May is surfacing herself as the lead person in charge of the negotiations – at least on the “surface” – on the other hand we should not allow her disown the mess created on her watch since triggering article 50; she owns […]

Read More A BREXIT Macro Nugget: The Non-Blinking Mr. Jeremy Hunt
Cabinet ministers travelling throughout Europe to defend the new BREXIT plan with a feisty mood but with weird messaging. Here we have Jeremy Hunt the lucky one – moving from Minister of Olympics to Secretary of Health and now the big one as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth […]

A BREXIT Nugget: The Selling of BREXIT from a Sold Leader
We hear of the cabinet on mini BREXIT breaks to Europe to sell the new deal. Now here’s the problem Mrs. May (and I hope/suspect the EU is listening); selling any form of deal to the EU becomes a bit tricky when your own legitimacy as leader of this country is […]
Read More A BREXIT Nugget: A Straitjacket Too Far
It is a tad rich for new BREXIT secretary Dominic Raab to suggest that it’s ‘irresponsible’ for the EU to flag risks of no-deal BREXIT. We’ve heard these terms before from the clan running the country; terms like “inappropriate” or “irresponsible” etc. when referring to the EU. Now I appreciate you’re […]
Read More A BREXIT Nugget: Party Time, Really?
Liberal Democrats leader Vince Cable denies plotting new anti-Brexit centrist party after missing an important vote on BREXIT in the House of Commons. Not sure what sort of “Party” he’s been up to but it is clear the precarious situation Liberal parties are facing in this country particularly at a time […]
Read More A BREXIT Nugget: Democracy is a Means NOT an End
However complex the issues at hand when considering BREXIT negotiations we have to keep reminding ourselves that Democracy is about Means irrespective of Ends. In other words the process that got us here and continues to drive us towards the BREXIT doors is more important than any positive or negative […]

While Theresa May faces defeat with a Labour backed customs union amendment being tabled you have to get your head around is state of “play” in BREXIT politics British style; you have divided parliament with some who want to be part of the EU customs union, while others hardliners who […]
Read More The Democracy of the Rich & Powerful
We keep hearing about the virtues of Democracy & Liberal Progressive Values. Yes we do apply Democratic principles in the West but now mostly in form rather than in actual reality. We then make assumptions about our governance structures & Democratic credentials rather than continuing to scrutinise/assess these structures & […]
Read More A BREXIT Micro Nugget: Vote Leave Fined & Referred to the Police
Welcome to the Leavers & Shakers of BREXIT! Here’s the thing though; we already knew there has been significant influence in the BREXIT campaign from both national & foreign actors. The foreign influence has been officially established and now both sides of the coin have the official seal on them. […]
Read More The Covfefe Reign: The Oops Moment in American History
Everyday we continue to watch with amazement Covfefe making odd & ridiculous statements with nothing in his temperament that changed much every since starting his Oops Reign. Today was no different watching him in effect ridicule U.S. security agencies in a meeting with supposedly an adversary. Now here is the […]
Read More Contradicting Signs is the Problem in the EU Nowadays

World Cup 2018: BRAVO Les Bleus!
A great match and one great effort from Croatia but eventually France prevails and it was not easy. Both teams played extremely well but the spirit was on Croatia’s side the first half. While watching commentary by football experts like Alan Shearer – yes that same expert who suggested England […]

In an interview today Theresa May talks about Trump’s advice to sue the EU. Now here’s the question no has ever thought of asking her – too technical 🙂 – what’s the point of putting this in the public domain at this stage of the negotiation? Is that Trump’s advice […]

A BREXIT Nugget: Has Meeting the Queen of Great Britain been Downgraded?
We understand politics ain’t always pretty – though this subject matter is becoming more toxic in this day/age due to poor leadership. Worse yet is when politics turns into transactional relationships (core values out of the window so to speak) – then you know we’re in a danger zone when […]

A BREXIT Nugget: Theresa “May Day” between Trump & a Hardball
The Trump visit going smoothly I see while Theresa May having her head pounded to the wall with his criticism about her approach towards BREXIT and his comments about PintPall Boris who would make an excellent PM – well I see Trump’s had a pint or 2+ himself. Now here’s […]
Read More A Fiery Session in the U.S. Congress
An incredible exchange in Congress between Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy and FBI agent Peter Strzok – needs to be watched till the end when agent Strzok responds to Trey Gowdy’s assertions about attempting to influence the Presidential elections. The key takeaway – in my judgement – is how politics is broken […]

World Cup Results: Well Done Croatia – Same Game England
Having watched the 2nd half until the Croatia equaliser I new pretty much game over for England, so I switched off cause I couldn’t bare watching more. No rocket science here, reasons are obvious for this result – so no complex analysis necessary; Over reliance on long balls and set […]
Read More Turkey: The Slippery Slope towards Dictatorship
Today we read about Erdogan’s appointment of his son in law to take charge of the Finance ministry. All I can say is that it’s really sad to see Turkey move towards the ultimate profile of a dictatorship state. But then again we only need to turn our eyes towards […]

A BREXIT Nugget: The Continued Re-morphing of BREXIT & A Man Overboard
The mob “leading” Britain once again try and re-morph the definition of BREXIT causing a big bird to jump ship – 1 PM more to go. It is no longer necessary to discuss details of yet another exit strategy because it’s becoming quite boring; what we do know is that […]

Read More BREXIT Nuggets: The BREXIT Exodus
The IMF believes that BREXIT will cause an exodus of banks and other financial companies to continental Europe and Ireland. The Bank of England estimates that 10,000 financial jobs could be relocated on the first day of BREXIT. I know many BREXITEERS will feel it’s “inappropriate” for the IMF to […]

BREXIT Nuggets: The British Democracy & The Bombing "Economy"
More BREXIT headlines/headaches that continue to demonstrate the utter mess we seem to be heading towards. My real worry is that we’re getting numb with continued flow of this negative news about the impact of BREXIT until suddenly we wake up when we hit the iceberg and it’s all much […]
Read More The Weekend BREXIT Nugget: How Appropriate is "Inappropriate"?
Jeremy Hunt finally breaks his silence and talks about the inappropriateness of the statement by Airbus warning of BREXIT uncertainty. Now Mr. Hunt for you and your government to talk about what is/isn’t appropriate is a tad rich. Although I do not like rehashing my views I’ve made clear in […]

There is another view that suggests that the Pro-Israel lobby takes complete control of US politics from the top-down and possibly with the blessing of autocratic regimes in the Middle East who’s main purpose in life is to maintain power. The US is the a great example of what it […]

BREXIT Macro Nugget: A Post BREXIT Booming Economy or Likely a Bombed Economy
Here are some facts to chew on – if we still have teeth left by the end of the run; The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) today slashed its growth forecast for the UK economy to 1.3% for 2018, the weakest performance since the financial crisis. The consultancy firm Oliver […]

My Journey with the Trumpet: I Know Why (Glenn Miller)
Tunes for the Trumpet & Flugelhorn: Note these videos are more for training/tracking my own progress. Also for me it’s more about technique rather than sophisticated back music hence recording solo to make it simple and effective. If someone does enjoy the tunes all the better.

Technology & Communication: Striking the Right Balance
I came across this very interesting Youtube clip about how communication/technology has transformed our lives in ways that are far from positive. It’s NOT that this is because technology is bad necessarily but rather how we apply – or rather should apply it – in a controlled/common sense manner when […]

The country continues to march forward towards a major political/economic decisions being led by a weak/confused PM who is solely powered by BREXIT ideologues. And if that weren’t enough we have an opposition party with no clear policy – more of a flip/flop approach towards BREXIT; so in brief a […]
Read More The BREXIT Nugget: A Remarkable Win – but to Who?
A remarkable vote in the House of Commons today and by no means a common sort of vote. You will see analysts all over the place with different sophisticated interpretations/analysis – but let me be my good old simplistic self as a “commoner”; this in simple terms is no short […]
