The following few clips from a recent program hosted by James O’Brien British radio presenter at LBC London radio station inspired me to write this brief post mainly to share these clips but also to make a brief comment which is this; Anger & frustration of where we are with this […]

A long interview with Crime and Policing Minister Kit Malthouse about the economic crisis and the increased cost of living in Britain and the world in general. Very interesting questions by the Niall Patterson of SkyNews though many remained unanswered thanks to the genius of Sir Humphrey Appleby’s methodology of […]
Read More Four days latter and with 4 officials resigning while few Conservative MPs decide to put country before party and yet the child at No. 10 Drowning Street shows no signs of quitting because for him it’s a matter of personal pride and for the clutch of chicks still supporting him […]
Read More Now that’s a first!! The question is though; in what capacity? However the word capacity implies capability/performance so in this situation I’d suggest a more accurate question; in what form? As a chicken tikka masala perhaps, or as a KFC style chicken….the options are endless. The fact of the matter […]

The mess continues in what I call No. 10 Drowning Street and no one really knows who’s driving the country; a completely incompetent/immature child or a dysfunctional cabinet or a confused party scrambling for position not knowing what’s coming next. PintPal Johnson as the name I coined for the CHILD […]
Read More This in my book ain’t about grandstanding but rather about pure stupidity & ignorance; you know the kind of dumb tweets we got used to from Donald Trump; hence the perception of boris as mini Trump. It is truly disgusting to see a British so called leader behave like 5 […]

No Comments But This My Heart Goes Out to All Suffering the BREXIT Drag But It Doesn’t Have to Continue This Way People Are Capable of Moving Politics at the Tempo They Choose
Read More BREXIT is truly a story of zero options. The UK Labour is for all intents and purposes a support mechanism the Conservative/BREXIT party with a useless leader who provides no viable alternative and I suspect prefers for the Conservative be the face of BREXIT because he has or believes in […]
Read More Frost will likely reiterate the threat of triggering Article 16 to suspend the Northern Ireland Protocol if they are not happy with the EU’s solutions. Of course no wants the worsening of discourse/animosity in UK – EU relations from near or far and as a Brit I stand firmly with […]
Read More It is truly an incredible BREXIT accomplishment like no other; changing car stickers from GB to UK. Truly at a moment of pure luxury for the British people our genius politicians have finally decided to breakaway and take back control of our car stickers. Finally a sticker worth having and […]
Read More Well well well; long time no “post” on BREXIT. The reason is quite simple; it’s because it’s been consistently following it’s downward trajectory that many have predicted so it’s kind of boring posting about each news item pertaining to the ramifications of BREXIT. Today however something changed; I heard & […]

Quite an interesting insight of how the nations political establishment functions – an archaic model that needs to bite the dust soon. There is of course plenty insane statements and revelations made by Dominic Cummings and it would be a waste of time to point them one by one. What […]
Read More “BREXIT/Nationalists” Britain finally takes hold on our island in an effort to control migration and eliminate EU “interference” in British politics. Well guess what we’re actually holding the wrong end of the stick. Our sovereignty is more about Economic Power/Influence in the same way that Protecting our Industries secures us […]

While there is absolutely no doubt about the contributions of the armed forces particularly in their efforts at home/abroad in responding to the pandemic and keeping us secure, I find it peculiar for the Prince of Wales to dedicate 2 speeches in paying tribute to the armed forces rather than […]

Another appalling incident by a lone coward – who thankfully now bites the dust – taking the life of a young man and graduate of Cambridge University who had his whole life in front of him. I understand that Jack Merritt was a course coordinator for Learning Together, a prisoners’ […]

The EU has all but turned down Theresa May appeal for a short extension until end of June while proposing an extension until December 2019 – I guess her “appeal” is wearing off where the EU is concerned. So in simple terms this latest humiliation translates to the fact that […]

The BREXIT comedy continues in parliament with the decision now being 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 “steaks”. 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 […]

A very interesting analysis by Michael Smerconish of CNN talking about American radio show host and far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones; and here is one of his rants to get some context going. While I agree with Michael on his views about Alex Jones, he seems to be missing a […]

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. It’s actually quite foolish in my judgement […]

Theresa May in her good old usual self throws another “bone”; this time to lure her “fan” 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 Idea” – 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 it’s manifestation in terms of government policy as well as on globalisation. BREXIT and Trump argues George – and I do so agree – are […]

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 […]
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 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 […]

BREXIT Is NOT Inevitable but Post BREXIT Crash Probably Is!

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Read More 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 […]

With 2017 drawing to a close here’s a couple of final thoughts for the year about BREXIT & the EU; The first suggestion is that Referendums built around a slim majority to make decisions that have profound impact on a nation is a flawed concept; whether it be BREXIT or […]
