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 […]
Read MoreJewish Papers Unite Against Corbyn (commentary)

Read MoreA BREXIT Nugget: The Selling of BREXIT from a Sold Leader

It was once said by a very famous/wise comedian Robin Williams may he RIP, post the George Bush presidency that “the reign of error is over”. Lo and behold we discover America ain’t really out of the reign of error just yet and all you have to do is “watch” the […]
Read MoreA BREXIT Nugget: BREXIT Shambolic's & a Genuine Call for Unity/Action
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 […]

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.
