Talk of Trump brokering Farage and Johnson alliance. Wow....dream team, bring it on. Stuff Barnier with his bully boy threats earlier. Leave 31/10/19 no deal default. Deal with EU never going to happen, Parliament will make sure of that lol.

Look what I'm doing to you
Your utterly at my whim
All of your defences down

My camera looks through you
With it's X-ray vision
And all systems run aground

All you can manage to push from your lips
Is a stream of absurdities
Every word you intended to speak
Winds up locked in a circuitry

No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever Minerve's around

Your walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of your systems are down
Down, down, down
Automatic (automatic)
Automatic (automatic)

What is this madness
That makes your motor run
And your legs too weak to stand
You go from sadness to exhilaration
Like a robot at my command

Your hands perspire
And shake like a leaf
Up and down goes your temperature
You summon doctors to get some relief
But they tell you there is no cure
They tell you

No way to control it
It's totally automatic
Whenever Minerve's around

Your walking blindfolded
Completely automatic
All of your systems are down
Down, down, down

Much as it would have been nice to ohave left on March 29, this may be a blessing in disguise. If the Tory party makes a sensible choice of leader .....ASAP(!), then his team can spend thew summer in Washington hammering out a mega trade deal with the US, (one, incidentally, that includes British Steel).

Much better to let October 31 approach, with a US trade deal in Boris' back pocket and then see who blinks first on November 1.

The failure of No. 10 to deliver a WTO exit (i.e. to “Leave”), and the failure
of the Opposition to hold them to account for that, has one wondering what
makes MPs think that they are indispensable. If they cannot handle change
management, what does that say about their grasp of current systems? The
yo-yo politics of the two-party state are over. WTO exit, or get out of the way.

A WTO exit with some negotiated mutual interest side deals is now the only sensible way to go and the only way that will not kill the Conservative party stone dead. That and some sensible small government with tax cuts, cheap energy, freedom and choice and a bonfire of red tape. The complete opposite of the appalling May/Hammond tax, waste and regulate to death, pro EU handcuffs £39 billion lunacy.

Regardless of the form of brexit, UK will be Johnny no mates, being kicked to follow EU rules without a seat at the table. Sad for Britain, but you have to face facts, the EU and it's Megacorps are just to influential on the world stage.

Reason people voted for brexit was not stupidity but ignorance. Fact is we will never be free of EU jurisdiction. The language of business may be English, but the standards and regulations those businesses and products conform to are European.

Hypocritical Remainers are disturbingly obsessed with crushing Boris Johnson


TOM HARWOOD
30 MAY 2019 •



Yesterday, it was farcically announced that prime ministerial frontrunner Boris Johnson is being summonsed to a court hearing that has levelled against him for saying that we send the EU £350 million a week. Seriously.

The case is the brainchild of a man called Marcus Ball who, if you’re trying to imagine him, looks precisely like the opposite of the kind of person you would trust to sell you a second-hand car. Somehow this 29-year-old militant Remain activist managed to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds from people via the internet in order to bring about his case.

Along the way he argued against his own legal advice and spent a sizeable chunk of donated cash on a luxury flat complete with...

Earlier, I posted "What do we need the EU for?" - that we couldn't manage without its presence.

I thought that someone might come up with an answer.

Here's how I see it:-

We give money to Brussels to spend on our behalf - about £210bn to date from the UK alone, I believe.

They spend about 6% of that on staff, and buildings.

They also give money to the poorer EU countries for various projects. Some of that goes to useful projects, and some gets diverted by various means into pockets that weren't meant to benefit. Some also goes into projects that benefited by oversight.

More of that money goes into encouraging companies to move their businesses into the poorer countries, to the detriment of the funder countries; so the funder countries not only lose industries, but also pay for the privilege.

Then, of course, they invented the Euro. (Not something that ASEAN countries have contemplated so far). That meant that some countries, notably Germany, benefited from the then exchange rate, while others found their economies in a straightjacket, with a currency that couldn't fluctuate.

I'm getting as bored as any readers who might be left.

To sum up, I still haven't determined what the EU has achieved that EFTA couldn't have achieved better, and with much less aggro.

I wonder if Mr Ball went to Pontypridd technical college?
