The EU and the rest of the UK - May Era

Telegraph: Reports the following remarks by Theresa May at the Conservative Party Conference,"  Theresa May has insisted there will be "no opt-out from Brexit" for any of the four nations of the UK.

She said it was for the UK Government alone to carry out the negotiations and made it clear there will be no special deals for different parts of the country. "

Lets Get Real:

Let us recall that England and Wales voted OUT, while Scotland and Northern Ireland voted IN.   The PM is making clear that we are in the same boat, there will be no special deals and the future of the UK will be decided by the London by the PM.   Those will still want to remain in the EU will have another bout of depression, the SNP will call for another referendum on leaving the UK, that is not on the cards, the price of oil has fallen, the Scots needs the UK more than the other way around.   At the end of the day we  are part of the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and thus we shall STAND.

May on the new UK - May Era

Guardian: Reports the following on PM May's speech to the Conservative Party Conference, " We have voted to leave the European Union and become a fully independent, sovereign country. We will do what independent, sovereign countries do. We will decide for ourselves how we control immigration. And we will be free to pass our own laws. "

Lets Get Real:

From the speech it seems that the PM understands the EU VOTE, the voters want control of their borders and for law to be made and decided by the UK Parliament and UK Courts.  Those that really love the EU have lost touch with the UK voter, they prefer that the laws come from abroad, the UK managed pretty well before the creation of the EU, we did win two World Wars and did have an Empire.   The problem is Europe, after the UK leaves the Germans will be in control of Europe, the Kaiser must be smiling in his grave, many respects the EU is an example of German aims for after World War One if they had won.   The Germans have the money, know they can pay the bills for the rest of Europe, one does wonder how long the Germans will tolerate that idea.

May on EU Vote - May Era

Mail on Sunday: Reports on the following by PM May on the UK leaving the EU, " ...We have voted to leave the European Union and become a fully-independent, sovereign country.  "

Lets Get Real:

IF you live long enough it is said you see it all, what was unthinkable become reality, from gay marriage to leaving the EU.   In 1938 Neville Chamberlain come home from Munich and promised peace in our time, and is this he was supported by the people and the British Establishment, within a year we see the start of WW2.   This is new chapter in UK history, it is up to us the people to make it work, we can not allow those EU supporters to change the historical FACT, we as a people voted out, that is called Democracy.

The TimeTable to LEAVE the EU starts by March 2017

BBC News: Reports " The UK will begin the formal Brexit negotiation process by the end of March 2017, PM Theresa May has said. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the UK will start the process of leaving the EU in March of 2017, this is great news, it shows that Brexit means Brexit.  PM May with her firm words has showed that the Conservative Party was right to chose her as leader of the Conservative Party and PM.   Let us hope that May can be a leader as such was Thatcher, the leaving of the EU will be tricky, the EU supporters will try to block the move in the Parliament and in the Courts, let them recall that they LOST by a million votes in the referendum. It is time for the UK to move on and out of the EU.

The FAULT LINE in Syria is Obama's Oval Office - Syrian Update

The New York Times: Reports " BEIRUT, Lebanon — Secretary of State John Kerry was clearly exasperated, not least at his own government.    Over and over again, he complained to a small group of Syrian civilians that his diplomacy had not been backed by a serious threat of military force, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by The New York Times. "

Lets Get Real:

The fault line of the Middle East runs through the Obama Oval Office, this blog has lost county of how many US Defence Secretaries the President Obama has gone through, he came into office thinking he was God's gift to International Politics, no one was brave enough to tell he was a Chicago Pol who got lucky, with the the near economic collapse in 2008.   Thus in 2011 Obama removed the final US troops from Iraq, this allowed for the birth Daesh and the need to send troops back in Iraq and Syria.   The Iraqi attack on Mosul will take more US troops, thus the new US President will face the same problems as Obama faced in 2008 but worse, the US will be needed to make sure that the various sectors of Iraqi society do not fall in to Civil War, and then there is Syria, the answer to Syria has this blogger lost, whatever solution is it will be the lesser evil.

Clinton LEADS after DEBATE - Election 2016

Fox News: Reports " First, the horserace.  Clinton is ahead of Trump by three percentage points: 43-40 percent in the four-way matchup, according to a new Fox News Poll of likely voters.  Her advantage is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.  Two weeks ago, Clinton was up by one (41-40 percent). "

Lets Get Real:

Thus HRC won the 1st Presidential Debate, all she has to do know is carry on with the attacks on Trump, he has made himself an easy target, and is digging his own political hole. The Trump attacks on Twitter show that Trump is unfit to be President, the VOTER might not like or even trust HRC but they know she is steady and has held public office, thus easy win for HRC in November.

New Labour and Brexit - Update

Guardian: Reports " Alastair Campbell: New Labour helped sow seeds of Brexit vote..Former director of communications says party became complacent on immigration due to Tony Blair’s electoral success "

Lets Get Real:

The REAL problem for Labour under New Labour and Tony Blair was the fact that it started to lose its base voters.    The disaster in Scotland and the NO vote in the EU vote shows that Labour took for granted million of voters.  Then when you had the near banking collapse of 2008 people started to feel that the Government was no longer in control of either the economy or Immigration.   At least the LABOUR PARTY under Jeremy Corbyn has gone back to its roots, on the extreme left and of course it can not win elections, thus great if you are a Conservative, no to so if your small (d) Democrat.
