lippy, re Nazanin Ratcliffe banged up in Iran - "the same things are going on in our jails where the establishment punishes people in similar ways..."

Are you completely insane?

Too early to say re Boris, max, after all the EU rejected what he suggested - as he no doubt knew they would.

I hope I'm wrong about Boris Johnson, but I fear a great Brexit stitch-up is coming

It was good while it lasted. For several weeks, Boris Johnson gave the impression of being a true Brexiteer – so much so that some people even began to ask: “What is the point of the Brexit Party?”

Most no-dealers in the country cheered every statement the Prime Minister made and this week the Government even announced that free movement of people would end on October 31. At last, it seemed, the referendum vote was being acted upon.

But don’t be fooled by the PR blitz. For this week, in his four-page letter to Donald Tusk, the EU Council President, we have also seen the other Boris Johnson; the man who, in March, voted for the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland backstop at the third...

U-turn alert.


Boris's letter to the €uro's did not contain the words "no deal" anywhere.

After Brexit next headache for Brussels.. Italy. They have to allow them to exit from the single currency and support Italy's economy to avoid euro currency crisis.

The Withdrawal Agreement without the backstop is still a bad TreatyBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: AUGUST 20, 2019The PM is trying to get the EU to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement by asking them to first strike out the 165 pages of the backstop. It is by no means clear Parliament would vote through the WA minus the backstop, as it still leaves us staying in the EU for another 21 to 45 months, paying them large sums, keeping us under the ECJ and various other undesirable features often discussed here. To a leaver the WA is not Brexit, and to a Remainer it is clearly worse than staying in.  The PM would need to require other changes as well. The EU has repeated the mantra it put into the delay agreement, that it will not reopen the Withdrawal Agreement, so it looks as if there will be nothing to put to Parliament anyway. .

Professor Otmar Issing. This is the man who was the founding chief economist of the European Central Bank – one of the creators of the euro itself. He admitted last year that "one day, the house of cards will collapse."The secret Euro banking system that hides Europe's real debts, which is already under huge strain in 2018...In the words of the Financial Times, Italy is "too big to fail and maybe too big to save."The next financial crisis is just around the corner.Political and financial insiders know that the unsolvable flaws within the European political and monetary system could soon trigger a financial crisis... one four times as destructive as in 2008.They just don't want to be too open about it.Most are too scared to speak out publicly.The problem is, while inside the bubble all seems well... huge pressures are building in the financial system... and on the streets.And insiders know this.They just don't want to admit it.The risk of an Italian default – which would be at least four times worse than Lehman Brothers.European banking stocks have been hammered all year. Why? Because they're closely connected to Italy (and hold Italian debt). They're flashing red alert.Italy is about to push Europe even further towards crisis: Italy is already pushing hard against the European authorities on trade, migration and spending. Italy is turning migrants away already. "I'm tired of being made fun of" said Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.This is the moment the inbuilt tensions within the Euro... over trade, debt, migration, spending, national identity... this is the moment it all explodes out into the open.The pressure within the system is intensifying. Something is going to crack and when it does it will be devastating.It's a clear, logical chain of events... It is part of a global unwinding.As Deutsche Bank put it last year, this is a situation with: "A country nearing an election and with high populist party support, with a generationally underperforming economy, a comparatively huge debt burden, and a fragile banking system which continues to have to deal with legacy toxic debt holdings ticks a number of boxes to us for the ingredients of a potential next financial crisis."

Lest we forget.

"Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian charity worker, has said she feels she could “suffocateR21; after her Iranian jailers significantly tightened the rules of her imprisonment.

Under the new rules, Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe is now only able to see her five-year-old daughter, Gabriella, once a month.

The Free Nazanin campaign also said she is barred from making international calls, leaving her unable to speak to her husband Richard, who has been campaigning for her release from the UK.

“I am so upset. I feel like I could suffocate,” Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe said in a campaign statement. “I can’t even think what to do. I haven’t cried so loud in the middle of the ward for ages. How cruel they are. How unjust this is.”"

God this is so wearing.

No system,capitalist or communist is any good if the quality of the people running the show is sub standard...This is never talked about. It explains a lot.
I am talking "excellence,dedication,integrity,honesty,loyalty"

NOT." diversity"
