50 Billion Bill - NO WAY - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " Jean-Claude Juncker calls for the EU to unite as the bloc prepares to fight Britain for a £50 billion divorce bill  "

Lets Get Real:

IF the EU really comes out with a demand for 50 billion pounds then the PM May should say NO, the Conservative backbenchers in the House of Commons will never support such a payment.  No 10 should be clear with the EU, that the UK will not pay a penny to them, a recent House of Lords report has confirmed that the UK should not pay a penny after we leave the EU.   At the end of the day the UK has the Ace of Cards, we can walk away, and become a business beacon with low taxes for business, a trading centre for around the World.   The UK Diplomats have to be TOUGH, and when the close their files and walk they must walk without looking back, the EU is the great loser, they are now under German control.

The Great Repeal Bill - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " Thousands of EU laws on everything from workers' rights to the environment are to be transferred into UK law as the country gears up for Brexit. "

Lets Get Real:

The UK House of Commons and Lords should pass the Great Repeal Bill in a quick manner.   Thus after the UK leaves the EU in 2019 it can start to repeal a mass of EU rules, Directives and Laws.   IF the EU does not give the UK what it wants the UK should play HARD BALL, cut taxes to makes the UK the place for business, open side deals with Eastern Europe, if they want to be defended against Putin and Russia they should be happy to support the UK in trade deals with the EU.   It will be interesting to see how the EU plays its hand, there are EU fanatics in the leadership, they might have to be shown the real world, if they want security support from the UK, they give us the deals we want, in less they are going to defend the Eastern block against Russia, and they never will!!   The UK at the end of the day should WALK AWAY if we do not get the deal we want. 

Can ObamaCare be killed Off? - Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence spoke with several House members over the weekend to discuss a path forward, a senior administration official and Republican official with knowledge of the discussions told CNN. And House Speaker Paul Ryan -- despite saying Friday that "Obamacare is the law of the land" -- appears ready to keep going as well. "

Lets Get Real:

The money that would have been saved by axing ObamaCare was meant to help with major tax cuts, the fact that the House failed to pass a new Trump health Bill has come back to bite them on the backside, what is the point of having a majority in the House if they can not govern and agree between themselves.   Thus if this is going to happen the White House should keep away, let the Republican House members come up with a Bill that will pass and then get in to conference with Senate Republicans.  It will be interesting to see if the House Republicans can work together.   If the Republican House can agree a Bill and it is passed by the Senate then you can have major tax cuts, Republicans like TAX CUTS. 

Trump and the Leaks - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " A former top Obama administration official has acknowledged efforts by her colleagues to gather intelligence on Trump team ties to Russia before Donald Trump took office and to conceal the sources of that intelligence from the incoming administration. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that President Trump was right, he was under investigation by the Obama Administration.   The fact that officials from the Obama Administration did this must raise questions of how much of this was known by President Obama.   This blog has been wondering WHY former President Obama has been VERY quiet on the subject.  The FACT that the Obama Administration officials were breaking the law raises the issue who gave them the green light to place secret information around the Government so it could be leaked.   The House and Senate Intelligence Committee should investigate the leaks, and the Russian connections.   The Democrats might find it would have been better to let sleeping dogs sleep, you never know who it might bite. 

Jeremy Corbyn and the EU - Article 50 - Post EU

Guardian: Reports in its 7.38pm post the following, " Corbyn is being quizzed on Labour’s six “tests” for a successful Brexit, including that a future trade deal brings the same benefits as single market membership. The Labour leader says this was set on the basis that David Davis, the Brexit secretary, promised it, but accepts that the UK cannot stay in the single market or customs union. "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour is ALL over the place, its leader, Jeremy Corbyn for most of his political life has wanted out of EU, his new line is an attempt to keep the remainers in his Party happy.  But as the above states he accepts that the UK will be out of the Single Market and the Customs Union, if the UK can not get a trade deal, and it looks like it would take years then the UK will take WTO rules, the rest of the World manages without a special deal with the EU.   The Labour Party is lucky its not in power, the political writers do not take Labour seriously with Corbyn in power, he is a LOSER, one can expect that closer to the election that Labour will find a way to ditch him and find a Leader more acceptable to the voters, otherwise Labour is finished as a political Party. 

The EU vs. The UK - Article 50 Day - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " 'It's going to be painful': EU leaders set a collision course with May as they warn Britain's demand for talks on a trade deal at the same time as haggling over the £50billion divorce bill is NOT acceptable "

Lets Get Real:

The French and the Germans will try to control the show, the UK should have back channel talks with the Eastern Members of the EU, the Eastern members can not count on Germany to come to their protection if the Russian Bear has his claws out, thus the UK will defend them with troops, the British method should be divide and conquer, get the Eastern block of the EU to back UK Exit, while doing side deals, EU is big, it does not have an intelligence agency or an army to enforce its will, that is the FACT lost on the extreme pro Europeans. The UK has played the Diplomatic game longer than most Countries, we have either fought or been allies with most of the Countries of the EU, the UK will out last the EU, we Brits are a stubborn lot!!

The UK and the EU - Article 50 Day - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " Britain's departure from the EU is "an historic moment from which there can be no turning back", Theresa May has said. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we start the process of DIVORCE from the EU, it will take two years, the UK red lines should be as follows, no money for the EU, not a farthing, a free trade deal with no payment, total control of Immigration, IF the EU turns down the offer then the UK should leave, a HARD BREXIT, the UK will be alright, we have been in tighter corners before and always come out fine, let us see how the EU reacts with its MASTER being GERMANY.
