Our Fish and Our Waters - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Hands off OUR waters!': MPs hit back at Michel Barnier after he delivers fishing rights ultimatum and ‘Cod Wars 2.0' threatens to derail Brexit trade deal talks "

Lets Get Real:

The talks between the UK and the EU is becoming a FARCE, the EU still thinks it has the best cards, WRONG, there is a new Government in the UK and PM May is gone back to the backbenches.   The EU has to learn, its UK waters and our bloody fish, if they want concessions from us they need to give us what we WANT, and that is not open to debate.  The UK decides on our fish and how much support we give to industry, if the EU does not like it they can jump off the white cliffs of Dover.   The EU has to learn that a members has LEFT THEM, and we can always refuse to give the divorce money to the EU, let's see how long the EU stands with Barnier, they need our money and the Germans do not wan to pay more in to the EU. 

Did POTUS call American Dead due to War " LOSERS " ? - US Presidential Election

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump denies calling dead US soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers'...The US president allegedly asked aides: "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers," according to a report.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US Presidential Election has gone dirty and fast, the trouble with the above alleged quotes is that it sounds like TRUMP, the fact that Trump has to say deny saying these words show that he knows that this could be the final nail in his political coffin.  The American people honour its dead soldiers, and the thought that the above could be true would make JFK and Reagan turn in their graves.  It says something about the US, that you have a racist narcissist on one side and a slowly losing it candidate on other, it can be argued that the US voter wants another Reagan and and has ended up with these two candidates, sad say for the US.

Haulage Firms and Brexit - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Haulage firms are warning of "significant gaps" in UK border plans for the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December.  "

Lets Get Real:

With anything new, there will be problems, so the haulage firms will have to get the paperwork done when the process is completed.  Thus far the UK and the EU does not have a DEAL, thus we are waiting to see who blinks first, the PM has the support of the UK voter in 2016 and 2019 and there is nothing like blaming the French and Germans if there is NO DEAL.  It won't be new to the voter.  It looks like we have passed the first wave of COVID - 19, the question is will we get a 2nd wave during the winter and what will the costs to the economy with double whammy of Brexit and COVID - 19.   This blog thinks we will do a deal with the EU, a bare bones deal, let's see what LONDON and BRUSSELS come up with, will fear force them to move.

UK must make concessions or NO DEAL BREXIT - EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Michel Barnier: UK risks no-deal on post-Brexit trade unless it compromises "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is getting worried that the UK means what it says, it seems the 2016 vote and the general election of 2019 did not reach Brussels.  The Government will not make any more concessions without losing support at home.  The UK fish in British waters are UK fish and should be collected by UK fishermen, well the majority of them.  Also the UK Government is the final decider on what sectors gain UK government funding.  The PM should make it clear to the EU, that the UK will not move, its up to the EU to move or some of the smaller countries in the EU to place pressure on Germany and France to make concessions.  These endless talks are becoming a farce.

Crunch Talks Between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Michel Barnier jets in for crunch Brexit talks: EU's chief negotiator will hold emergency meeting with British counterpart David Frost amid warnings they have only a month to strike a deal  "

Lets Get Real:

In essence the French want a VETO over how the UK Government spends it money to support business, also it wants OUR FISH.  The PM should pull the plug on these talks and BLAME the French, the UK voter has not much love for the French, they still do not understand how to make a cup of tea, one would think after two world wars, were the UK has come to their rescue that they would have learned some basics about the British, one being tea and the other being we do not like threats from over the English Channel.   The EU has to understand we LEFT the EU, and we want our WATER and FISH back, we do not like demands from the EU, or in this case the Paris.   Berlin really needs to muzzle Paris, otherwise their economy will falter.

The Toxic President, Biden on Trump - US Presidential Election

Sky News: Reports " Joe Biden asks if Americans want the 'toxin' that is Donald Trump as president..The Democrat turned his focus from coronavirus to Donald Trump's handling of violent protests across the US.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is mistake for Biden to get into the trenches to fight the LAW AND ORDER topic, there is always a chance that more violence will break out in US cities and Biden will be asked about it, and if he gives the wrong answer he could LOSE his liberal base or start to worry people who live in the suburbs.  A Biden victory is not a give walk over, Biden is no OBAMA or REAGAN.  If Trump can gain a few points in the rust belt State then we might have a real race on our hands.  The Debates will be interesting, will Biden say NO to them, this has been the view of the House Speaker, the Democrats are afraid that Biden will show his age or do something that costs the Democrats the White House.

Who is the Law AND Order Candidate in the US ? - US Presidential Election

BBC News: Reports " Biden accuses 'weak' Trump of stoking violence "

Lets Get Real:

The US Presidential Election is getting nasty, and the Democrats have to be careful that they do not LOSE the law and order fight, as has been noted, Nixon used that in 1968 to beat the sitting Vice - President in their match up.   President Trump has no difficulty in sending in the Army in to Democratic cities if they look like they are out of control, also suburbs do not like to feel the threat of riots on their doorstep.  It has been noted that Biden has not done a lot of actually meeting the people, he has stayed in his bunker, he has to get out more, the US voter likes a candidate who are not afraid to meet the voters, and Trump loves big rallies.  One the whole Biden should win, but he can not afford to lose more points  to Trump.
