Yes, I know exactly how you feel about the prospect of yet another damn petition. I actually suggested that petition time has been over a while back. However I decided to go ahead with this petition anyway for 2 reasons; I am hoping that however we may differ on BREXIT […]

The BREXIT comedy continues in parliament with the decision now beingĀ a vote for 1 of 4 motions; Motion C, Customs Union Motion D, Common Market 2.0 (to be re-negotiated with the EU) Motion E, Confirmatory public vote (or Referendum on selected deal) Motion G, Parliamentary Supremacy (Extension, Leave or […]

Yes, this is the British version of Tombola but with higher/jucier āsteaksā. Now we read rumours about the potential of snap elections being considered by the so-called government. This in my judgement would be a recipe for a disaster with no vision/no direction, no leadership and a country divided, so […]

If there are any lessons learnt during the last few years it has to be this mentioned in the header. But then how do we define a Stall; while I am no political expert it doesn’t take a policy guru to say that when this governance model seizes to represent […]

Itās ironic – a term that now has to be associated in both history & language books with BREXIT – that the humiliated/humiliating Theresa May continues to ask parliament for a vote – the 4th time around – when she and her party are doing all possible to avoid a […]

With the daily mess that seems to be swirling around us nowadays – and itās beginning to feel like Trump Territory – it has always been my view as mentioned in many of my previous posts that BREXIT is in fact about internal structural failures in our political system than […]

If at all possible let us all forget BREXIT for just a moment or two; if it’s proving difficult let’s consider heading to the pub, cafeteria or just a long walk for an hour or two. Then when weāre back from the break let’s think this question through; What does […]

To all who have pinned their hopes on a sophisticated political solution to BREXIT from Parliament, I think it is now clear to the blind that a broken political system cannot deliver solutions and can only deliver more toxic politics for this country. Itās actually quite foolish in my judgement […]

Theresa May in her good old usual self throws another “bone”; this time to lure her āfanā base in the Conservative party which is growing by the day – quicker even than the Petition to revoke article 50 – to support her deal. Her “BIG Ideaā – and there are […]

In a recent exchange in the European Parliament there seems to have been an interesting exchange between Donald Tusk and Mr. ‘UJS’ (Union Jack Sox) – so let put some context by highlighting the exchange – and here is the clip of the 1st part; The former Ukip leader, Mr. […]

A brilliant clip I came across today and thought to share here by a British journalist George Monbiot about Neoliberalism as a political philosophy and itās manifestation in terms of government policy as well as on globalisation. BREXIT and Trump argues George – and I do so agree – are […]

We were worried that Theresa May is running down the clock to get to the BREXIT hour. Now the situations has changed slightly with the clock having been returned to itās “rightful” owner; the House of Commons which is now taking full control of the clock by running it down […]

Here is a glimpse of the universe we live in today in this Disunited Kingdom of ours – it is by no means a complex/hard to figure situation but rather a quite unsophisticatedly simple one which most can agree with; A government that made a mess of BREXIT by; Failing […]

Here we see what the government would like to consider as Martians from outer space quite different from the “People” they talk about who they pretend to defend. It is certainly one very proud moment for me to watch this fantastic march by these “martians” of all ages – whichever […]

The details of the deal can be found here but the obvious conclusion is that the EU is demonstrating in no uncertain terms that it is willing, ready and able to consider multiple options as a way out of this self-inflicted mess weāve created for ourselves and reflected so vividly […]

Right off the bat let me first suggest that a hard BREXIT is not on anyone’s cards and hereās why; While many would agree that Theresa May is a completely bankrupt personality in terms of ethics and political integrity she must know well that making this hard dive would land […]
Read MoreA handful of shameful politicians including; Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer and even Vince Cable head to Brussels to plead for a backdoor deal – which now seems to be pattern in British politics – with the EU. It’s shocking for me to see British politicians doing all possible to pass […]
Read More It seems that the British parliamentās petition site is breaking up thanks to the amounts of sign-ups for the petition to revoke article 50 – and I admit to have contributed in a small part to this effort by signing the petition myself. Indications are that the number of signatures […]

Read More Theresa Mayās once again tries to sway hardliners to accept her approach of “My Deal or No Deal” BREXIT strategy before a vote on extending article 50. Yes, it is shameful and disgusting politics but again these are not new revelations we just discovered about Theresa May and the muppets […]
Read More It was extraordinary to me watching the debates in Parliament today about the latest BREXIT deal. Very passionate debate from all sides with quite complex issues raised – quite exciting. But suddenly I woke up to discover that we’re NOT at the pre-triggering article 50 stage no we’re actually 2 […]
Read More Theresa May seems to be leading a blame game with the EU in seeking compromise on the Irish backstop. The reality though is that Theresa May is not/has never been leading anything – but rather following the guidelines of the Conservative BREXITEER clan. Her main and only ambition is remaining […]

Jeremy Corbyn plays the same ole same ole long game of Theresa May in suggesting a confidence vote in the “appropriate time” – but “appropriate” for who exactly/whatās the catch? I think we can all pretty much make a good guess, right? I truly believe that Jeremy Corbyn is as […]

Read More I keep hearing BREXITEER’s complaining about the “Endless Referendum Syndrome” which is along the lines of; If we we do another Referendum which produces different results why stop there and not do another and another? Our Accidental Leader also raised this argument today in Parliament. So here’s my take on […]
