The PATH to Brexit - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The Foreign Secretary is trying to calm the ship after the defeat yesterday in the House of Commons, the Government has stated it could try to reverse the defeat later on, there is a long way to go on Brexit.   The Chief Whip must place the fear of God in to those MPs that voted against the Government, remove the MPs from Committees, especially those Committees that MPs want to be on, threaten to remove the whip, also bring up the local chairman of the Seat of the MP for talks with the PM, about the need for loyalty and not to stab the Government and Party in the back.   In the UK TV series House of Cards, FU would have been putting the whip about and using the dirt on the MPs, everyone has some dirt on them, in less they are Saint, even Saint Augustine said to the Lord, do not make me a Saint yet.   Chief Whip start whipping!!

The Problem of North Korea - Update - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

To use a UK civil service term, the Secretary of State has been house trained, that means that the Secretary states what the State Department wants, not the other way around.  In D.C the power of a Cabinet Minister depends on his/her influence with the President.   In the Obama period, there were a few Secretaries of Defence due to the fact that President Obama didn't want to use America's power on the World Stage.  The Secretaries found it hard to get the President to listen.   Also President Obama thought he was the smartest man in the room, as the mistake of Syrian red line shows, he wa not.  In the New Year this blog expects that the Secretary will retire, POTUS wants HIS Secretary of State in the State Department.
