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 it’s “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 […]

While keeping the browser open watching the progress of signatures on the Petitions website I noticed something quite odd; the number of signatures on the site not only increases but also decreases occasionally – it certainly happened twice today in front of my own eyes. This does NOT sound or […]

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 […]

Well over a year ago I made a suggestion for a pragmatic way forward to solve this BREXIT cookie in a post which I circulated to party leaders as much I possibly could; here is a link the post. Obviously things have moved quite a bit since then but the […]

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 we’ve 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 here’s 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 parliament’s 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 […]

Although I believe that we’re well past petition & letters to MP’s time a while ago and knowing full well Theresa May’s government would never consider anything remotely close to this petition, I still believe it is an opportunity for the public to make their voices heard – albeit a […]

No responsibility for triggering article 50 without a viable plan No responsibility for the flawed process she engineered and one marred by secrecy and back alley agreements to subvert our Democracy even when it comes to following parliamentary regulation/precedence No responsibility for failing to listen to the voice of the […]

With the daily House of Commons shambles – which is about the only thing that is Common nowadays in that house – the EU seems to be caught between a a rock and a hardball, so they opt instead for going on a fishing expedition unfortunately though in a contaminated […]
Read More The British parliament shambles has now taken to the skies. The talk between our genius politicians is this and beware this is NOT a Drill; Now the talk is for an extension which for all intents and purposes is used as yet another “back stop” in the the EU until…wait…here […]
Read More A great analysis of Brexit here given by Fareed Zakaria of CNN. Obviously the view provided is unlikely to sway opinions on either side of the argument because I mentioned previously we’re all feeding off a broken political system. Ever since I started posting on the topic I was never […]
Read More Parliament just shot down a motion for a People Vote with an astounding majority of 85 to 334. Of course we know the Conservative position on this, but Labour is another story altogether; remember this “All Options on the Table” slogan, it turns out even tables change and they seem […]
Read More Theresa May’s 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 […]
Read More A very interesting interview conducted by Tim Sebastian aired on DW with Belgian MEP Philippe Lamberts. Obviously quite a few issues Tim raised about the EU’s handling of the Irish backstop – but with a due respect Tim what you seem to have missed is the British governments disastrous handling […]
Read More With the latest episode of shambolic developments in Parliament where Labour “alternative” BREXIT deal was rejected by the government and they are now signalling “potential” support to a motion calling for a People’s Vote the question then becomes this; if we are to continue membership in the EU by default […]
Read More So I was right, the Corbyn approach now revealed – the 2nd Referendum plea is designed primarily to pressure Theresa May to allow Labour a place on the table in defining a modified BREXIT deal – so that the Labour table expands to include more options 🙂 And as I […]
Read More Media are running with the story that Jeremy Corbyn now is supporting a 2nd Referendum which they say is a position consistent with the motion supported in the Labour Party conference in 2018 and here is the text of that motion; Should parliament vote down a Tory Brexit deal or […]
Read More When we talk BREXIT many seem to hang failures of our political model on BREXIT – or at least that would be their focus point. But the reality is that for us to understand BREXIT drivers we need to understand the political model that we’ve adopted for the last decade […]

While following reactions to Theresa May’s crushing defeat in parliament for her deal I came across the following tweet by Donald Tusk the EU Council President; If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive […]

The BREXIT farce continues unabated and now Theresa May tries another stunt to coerce MPs to accept her mantra of “My Deal or No Deal” approach by threatening that if her deal doesn’t go through there may be no BREXIT – well now here ’s clarity of the “philosophy” of […]

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/what’s the catch? I think we can all pretty much make a good guess, right? I truly believe that Jeremy Corbyn is as […]
Read More If this is the perception of a Soft BREXIT, well people we’re in for the treat of our lives post BREXIT. With Theresa May leapfrogging across the content in an effort primarily to save face – rather than have the guts to face the nation – my question is what […]
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 […]
Read More Now people may disagree on the language here in the title but being a coward is truly not intended as an insult but rather a personal attribute – pure and simple. What we’ve seen yet again from Theresa May in delaying the parliament vote is yet another clear demonstration of […]
Read More Sweden’s prime minister Stefan Lofven will have to stand down after losing the support of parliament; is this a cue for Britain. This indeed is an approach worth considering with a temporary unity government to take us through a 2nd Referendum where parties take up their own view on the […]
Read More Yesterday we here of Labour’s John McDonnell with a statement about the options for a 2nd Referendum – link below, and later that same day Keir Starmer kicks in with a contradictory message about that same subject – suggesting Option to Remain would be considered within a 2nd Referendum. Now […]
Read More We’ve lived and continue to live in exciting times with this BREXIT saga which has become more of an egotistical/political mix of a game for many of our politicians; I’d actually rather give them each an Xbox or Sony Playstation with the help from the gaming industry to urgently develop […]
Read More Tom Watson decides to wake up on a weekend and asks to back a vote on a 2nd Referendum as polls show 86% of members want a 2nd referendum. Again it is the same “good” old politics which I mention in each/every post about leadership driven from behind not through […]
Read More In a recent statement by Theresa May she asks the EU to show respect. Here’s the pickle you face (and we face in extension); respect is something you earn Theresa May and for many in this country you have not achieved that objective in 2 years mis-managing the most consequential […]

Now here’s an interesting proposition – OK I think so anyway though some would consider it on the extreme side of the spectrum – but here it is; “if” this political shenanigans continues to drive the BREXIT process in the UK, I would actually consider it best to terminate the […]
Read MoreNow I am trying really hard to avoid the temptation about writing more on BREXIT; I have through previous blogs made what I believe to a viable case for the only choices we may have and the narrowing window of opportunity; there’s NOT really much I can add. However, when […]
Read MoreWe really seem to be living in exciting times for our Democracy in Britain; thanks to a Parliament that seems completed disconnected/oblivious to the will of the British people if recent exit polls about BREXIT are anything to go by – link below. It is clear to me that the […]

It is heartening to see the EU will no longer tolerate members undermining the core values of the organisation by following the Russian Playbook that is currently in full swing in the Middle East including; Laws suffocating the free press, and measures to control media through cheap loans for government […]

The view that we continue to hear time and again is something I’ve posted about a while back – link below – is that Trump himself is “The National Security Threat” – and I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I claim that in fact he’s the ultimate “International Security Threat” considering […]
Read More A very interesting Channel 4 review on BREXIT below. But let me add/clarify that in my view the only Plan B we have is either a General Election or a 2nd Referendum. However both these options mean 1 thing (and 1 thing only) to the current “so-called “government”; no Theresa May […]
Read MoreWe keep hearing that great slogan from the “so-called” government in Britain that a “No Deal is better than a Bad Deal”, a common sense principle that has been overstretched to beyond the limits “just to capture our Imagination away from the reality of the Negotiation“, and here’s why; this principle […]
Read MoreI really don’t understand why Theresa May persistently comes out with really bold statements about BREXIT that do nothing but demonstrate her utter hypocrisy. Today for example she rejects the call for a second Brexit referendum as ‘betrayal of trust & Democracy” – (link below). Now I have to stay – […]

Theresa May says a no-deal Brexit ‘wouldn’t be the end of the world’. Of course TM a No Deal BREXIT is NOT the end of the World; as a matter of fact why the hell waste time negotiating further; let’s just call it quits to save a quid or 2 […]

French President Emmanuel Macron told France’s overseas ambassadors gathered in Paris on Monday that Europe can “no longer rely” upon the US for its security. While it is true – and has been for a while now if we haven’t been wasting time daydreaming – that the EU needs a […]
Read More Labour straight out of the hat produce yet another stunning proposition on the Table. Let me tell you there is NOT much room to spare on their BREXIT Table. The good news this time however is that this proposition is more generic so it can adapt to different situations, that […]
Read More Today we continue to see/hear “clan” ministers continue to put a brave face when talking BREXIT to European partners/allies. This is a brief commentary on their silly statements because really it merits no further effort for any detailed response because they’re in a fix and it’s common news, so here […]

Read More Now that a crash seems a likely prospect for BREXIT the government decides to do the “Responsible” thing by publishing a series of technical notices designed to prepare the UK for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. Now just to get us started here – on a weekend – let […]
