After my previous post and having now watched Zack Polanski’s response it reaffirms my confidence of this leader and of this party. They say leadership is projected clearly in difficult times and this to me is what’s happening here. Well done Zack! PS: What’s really “amusing” is watching journalists/media doing […]

The UK Green Party and the Questions of Antisemitism
If accurate and not merely being critical of a state/ideology (a politicised definition that I do not recognise/exacerbates this form of racism) than this is disgusting and requires swift action from a party I chose to become member of and if continues I’ll quit. One form of racism cannot be […]
Read MoreThe Message from UK Labour on MP Enquiry is simple (buzz off we’re busy….democratically speaking)
Demanding a mere inquiry of the PM is now considered a “political stunt” and the obvious follow on narrative is the same; “we now need to focus on delivering for the British people” or in layman terms “buzz off we’re busy….democratically speaking”. Archaic democracy models and structures are not just […]
Read MoreUK Shelves Chagos Deal: Keir Starmer Allegiances Seem Suspect
This little nugget tells you all you need to know about who’s really in charge of the United Kingdom both on matters of national security and also international law. Keir Starmer again demonstrates that he’s utterly unfit to lead but more than capable of serving as a U.S. muppet in […]
Read MorePositive Vibes from Keir Starmer (but…..)
Positive vibes from Keir Starmer on Iran and EU, but proof to be seen, particularly when many actions (not reactions) needed in many conflicts around the world cause no one can be immune from ramifications when things get out of hand as mentioned in a previous post. It is no […]
Read MoreUS Attacks Iran: A Defensive War After All!
So our clever prime minister keir starmer now making yet another U-turn (his trademark letter) and now allows US to launch attacks on Iran to degrade its ability to defend itself as a purely defensive measure by the UK. So it turns out that this conflict is purely defensive in […]
Read MoreUS Attacks Iran: Keir Starmer’s Inspiring Update
So the logic goes something along the lines of; We’ve learnt lessons of Iraq so we support unprovoked/illegal attacks on Iran but we don’t expect them to retaliate and hit targets used as launch pads to hit their nation in the gulf or elsewhere – (as they’ve threatened to do […]
Read MoreUS Attacks Iran: Breaking down Keir Starmer’s Statement and Addressing a Bigger Point
Keir Starmer makes impressive points so lets break them down One moment he talks about protecting International Law and the other he seems quite supportive of US actions on Iran (or at least does not condemn it) an act that undermines International Law in every possible way. One moment he […]
Read MoreEurope Actively Giving Up on Sovereignty & Values
Ignore the subject matter of the post below entirely for the moment as well the constant/fancy preaching that comes from European heads of state while focusing solely on actions being taken (mostly without any form of public or even parliamentary scrutiny whatsoever) and consider the following; a) these are not […]
Read MoreThe Weekly PMQ Theatrics
Some watch this and consider it Democracy at work while I see it slightly differently; The Hereditary Political Chain that represents an archaic political system unfit for purpose where its mostly about theatrics, personal attacks and children cheering, booing and shouting at each other and banging desks (things not even […]
Read MoreThe Epstein Story: Morgan McSweeney resigns as UK PM’s but What Does it Tell you About the Man?
Truly wonderful to see someone taking full responsibility for poor judgement and the wording in this letter here suggests someone with integrity and a clear sense of values; I wish him well. That being said this in no way absolves Keir Starmer’s responsibility in this matter but in fact […]
Read MoreUK Labour Manifesto Promise “Change”
They actually managed to achieve it in quite a short time; a true/solid effective change in “faces”. However things pan out what we’re all effectively encouraging is a change in faces/styles rather than focusing on a change in politics and what our role becomes once we’re post election time. Remember […]
Read MoreVanessa Neumann has something to say on Sovereignty; I just wish she remained quiet on the topic just for the sake of IISS
So the view from Vanessa Neumann is that national sovereignty is not a matter to be considered where criminals – wherever they maybe – are concerned. Now thats an interesting perspective but does it also apply on criminals in the Mideast that have been indicted by the “International” […]

Read MoreBREXIT – The Migrant Exchange Program (Part of the Levelling Up Policy?)
Locking out EU migrants and now heading east for migration deals – well now that makes good sense, doesn’t it. The problem as with any other political/economic debates is that people tend to have less knowledge/expertise (myself included in the mix) to make critical decisions particularly when it comes to […]
Read MoreUK Elections: Practicing vs. Preaching Democracy
Practicing Democracy vs. Preaching Democracy: Here we go gain; after the flawed BREXIT referendum of 2016 we seem to be at another political crossroads where politics seems to be at odds with realities. This is the situation where issues/policies are not discussed/debated seriously from the foundation/raw level but rather from […]
Read More“Sensibly” Talking BREXIT After the Fact!?
Great stuff; talking sensibly about BREXIT after the fact! I guess the question of timing would be the first thing that comes to mind. But beyond this small technical issue the one thing we truly need is an honest conversation about the pro’s/con’s of BREXIT not just economically on but […]
Read MoreUK Politics One-0-One; Why was Diane Abbott rejected at PMQs?
When racism is at the heart of a government led by someone of a migrant background; when governments by-design allow unelected financial minutemen/power-brokers to in-effect rule from the sideline without accountability; when rules of common decency are constantly ignored by the speaker of the house you may conclude that this […]
Read MoreTheresa May Stands Down in Next General Election – Another Unelected Leader Fades Away
While I do respect Theresa May as an honourable politician I’ve always had problems with unelected leaders crashing at No. 10 without public scrutiny, selection and debate. This archaic system must change and the “British Democracy” as Sir Humphrey Appleby once called it must finally evolve even if it means […]
Read MoreSunak Warns ‘Democracy A Target’ – I Do So Agree, But You’re Part of the Problem
For the first time ever I do so agree with Rishi Sunak; Democracy is indeed a target. It is a target; When people have no direct say in selecting/removing their leaders When narrow ideologies/lobbyists drive the national/international agenda When an archaic governance model continues to be a drag on political/institutional […]

There are multiple sources on the web including the clip above as well as the articles linked below. If this […]

Read MoreThe BREXIT Sour Pickle But Don’t You Complain Because We’re Special; A Special Case If You Like, Or Even If You Don’t
BREXIT in my opinion has been the single most revealing political “nugget” that demonstrates in no uncertain terms democratic deficiencies that stem from an archaic political system coupled with distorted visions of the past leading to unrealistic expectations for the future. The lesson I guess would be that we all […]
Read MoreRwanda Deportation Policy Rejected by Supreme Court – Sloppy Policy Championed by Ignorant Politicians
Sloppy policies championed by ignorant politicians that deal with symptoms and focusing on most vulnerable rather than root causes (with plenty related to flawed foreign policy & defunding important aid programs). Stopping the boats should begin by assessing current foreign policy and working tirelessly to end human suffering in regions […]
Read MoreDisgruntled Braverman Intent On Humiliating Sunak After Firing Her – What Does It Tell Us About State of British Politics
Here are some thoughts & a prediction considering there are much more important things to focus on like the conflict in the Mideast, so here goes briefly; It is quite clear to me that braverman is into politics for the wrong reasons; championing vile ideologies the likes that we’ve rarely […]

Truly a significant day in British history for all the wrong reasons and more importantly its a glaring indication of sunak’s ignorance when it comes to politics and totally out of touch approach in tacking social issues. So in one firm swoop he attempts to take back control of cabinet […]

Here’s what I don’t understand; what precisely is the kind of training do these officers have in terms of constraints in using their firearms? Is it just the case of the lead officer handing them arms and telling them to go enjoy themselves? Is understanding accountability for misuse of arms […]

Read MoreThe Sunak/Baverman Strategy to Fight People Smugglers – It’s NOT About Holding the Wrong Side of the “Stick”, It’s Just the Wrong “Stick”
There’s always an easy convenient quick solution to any persistent problems we face today but the question is whether it is viable/sustainable and more importantly whether it is compatible with perceived values and ideologies of the nation and/or the political alliance involved. To progress further on this last point about […]

The worst part in all of this – as we’ve seen many times before – once someone crashes at No. 10, it’s terribly difficult to not only get rid of them but also select someone competent enough to take charge simply because the system is designed from the ground up […]
