Corbyn's SOFT Brexit - Update 3 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

It seems that the Telegraph agrees with the BBC on this latest Brexit story out of the Labour Party.  It can be postulated that Corby wants a special deal from the EU.  As one looks at the present talks between the EU and the UK Government a special deal is out of the question, the EU has been very clear, take it or leave it, your either in or out of the single market, and if your in the single market you have to accept freedom of movement, that would cost Labour votes in the North, even Parliamentary Seats.  It will be interesting to see who wins, thus my prediction, the UK will be in the Customs Union and the single market, but not the single market wanted by the Labour Party leader.  One can expect that Labour will join with the Conservative rebels for the UK to stay in the actual single market with freedom movement.   There could be a general election. 

Corbyn SOFT Brexit and Real Brexit - Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

Thus folks we are in the weeds when it comes to Brexit, both the BBC and the Daily Mail have the same story but different result.   It seems that Labour wants a special deal that the EU will never give, it almost looks like that the Labour Party is as divided as the Conservative Party.  The simple reason is that Labour voters in the North of England voted to leave the EU, while the left elite in London does not want to act that makes it look weak to its hard remainers in the South and London.  It can be postulated that June 12 is going to be a long day for the PM and Corbyn. 

Labour moves to SOFT Brexit - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

Jeremy Corbyn has given up his opposition to the UK staying in the Single Market, thus with the Labour Opposition, Liberal Democrats, SNP and Conservative rebels the UK is facing a soft Brexit.   The PM should use this result as a way to get the rest of the Conservative Party to go for a Soft Brexit, because that will be the result.   At the UK will be out of the EU, we get our own passports back, that is a start.

I can Pardon Myself - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

As this blog has stated, if President Trump did pardon himself it would be the ultimate reality show moment, if POTUS is planning such a move he should do it while the Republicans control the House and Senate.    This would force the Democrats to run on impeaching the President, that would get Democrats and Republicans out to vote.  It can postulated that the Trump Lawyers think that POTUS is above the law, not even the lawyers for Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton argued that point!!  The Russia investigation goes on, it does seem endless!!

Bill Clinton on Monica - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

The Old Hound Dog never learns, he feels sorry for himself, what about Monica Lewinsky, he threw her under the bus then and now.  One does think that small part of HRC losing in 2016 was people were worried what a bored Bill Clinton would get up to in the White House
 if he was First Husband.  The Clintons are well off, Bill Clinton might be under a cloud because of the Metoo movement, would he remain if Office now if the scandal how broken now and he was President, one has doubts that BC would have fallen on his sword, he would have fought it now as then.   Some old Hounds never learn. 

The Brexit Bill - Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The UK Government is taking a risk, the amendments by the House of Lords could be upheld by the House of Commons.   PM May should make concessions were she can, the May Government could fall if May loses an important vote.  It will be a long day on June 12 for MPs, the House of Lords Amendments will be voted on through the day and night.  It will make for interesting coverage !!

The Brexit Bill - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The UK Government should make concessions, it should allow the UK to stay in the Customs Union and the Single Market.  The main point is to get out of the EU, as stated many times by this blog, if the House of Commons votes to stay in the Single Market it will prevent any future Labour Government from taking over large areas of the UK economy.   Also it makes more economic and culture sense.   This blog just wishes the hard remainers were more likable, they are not, the hard Brexit supporters at least have their heart in the right place if not their brain.
