BREXIT Exhaustion: Parliament Comedy turning into a National Tragedy
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 […]
Read MoreBREXIT Exhaustion: The British “Tumbola”
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 […]
Read MoreSelf Regulation; The difference between Democratic Evolution or Devolution
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 […]
Read MoreBREXIT Fever: Indicative Votes Deliver the Verdict of No Confidence in Parliament (updated)
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 […]

Read MoreNeoliberalism and it’s Effects on Policy and our Future
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 […]
Read MoreBREXIT Fever: A Pragmatic Vision Forward Revisited
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 […]
Read MoreBREXIT Fever: Broken British Politics now takes to the Stage in Brussels – A British Humiliation that knows no Boundaries
A 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 […]
