EU's counter blast at Lord Frost over the Northern Ireland Protocol - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " EU to set out 'practical solutions' as UK demands changes to Northern Ireland Protocol....European Commission vice president Maros Sefcovic is set to hold a news conference on Wednesday afternoon in which he will deliver Brussels's verdict on UK proposals for the Northern Ireland Protocol. "

Lets Get Real:

Lord Frost replied to the EU before the EU gives out its new version of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the Minister stated that European Court of Justice was a major problem, and has to be dealt with, if the EU gives real solutions to the problems of the protocol and allow normal business between the GB and the province that would help, it will be interesting to see the reaction from business to the new ideas from the EU, if they work then the ECJ might not matter that much, the Unionist Parties could be the problem, if they bring down the government of the province, that could lead to trouble in the streets, so the Unionist Parties have to be bought along, this is why the ECJ part has to be reformed.  It will be interesting to see how the intense talks with the UK and the EU go, can they bring real solutions and political solutions that work for the province.

James T Kirk in Space FOR REAL - Space the Final Frontier

BBC News: Reports " Hollywood actor William Shatner has become the oldest person to go to space as he blasted off aboard the Blue Origin sub-orbital capsule.  "

Lets Get Real:

To watch Captain James T Kirk, in the shape of William Shatner go up in Space at the age of 90 gave me hope that one day I could see the EARTH from space, James T Kirk and his TV Crew represented the best of Earth, the private sector is the future of Space, they have the money, one would not be shocked if a American billionaire did not try to return to the Moon or even Mars.  Mars in the next prize, the Americans can not allow the Chinese to get there first, if they do we will never hear the end of it, and also the will place their flag on Mars, that should never happen, the WEST should join it resources and get a Western ship there, let's hope this 2nd private launch will LEAD to more, our future is Space and other PLANETS, we are wrecking Earth, we need another planet to allow humanity to grow again. 

Lord Frost's speech Update 2 - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Brexit minister Lord Frost claims EU 'doesn't always look like it wants UK to succeed' as he demands Northern Ireland Protocol " changes  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has to be FIRM with the EU, the speech was a hammer in a velvet glove, the UK at the end day has responsibility for Northern Ireland, it also has a duty to make sure that the Good Friday Agreement is kept and there is no return to the troubles.  The Unionist groups have made it clear that the NORTHERN IRELAND PROTOCOL has to go also the role of the European Court of Justice, it is seen as bias in favour of the EU.  The UK should have talks with the EU when they bring out their new ideas for the PROTOCOL, if Brussels cant or wont listen then the UK has to invoke ARTICLE 16 and suspend parts of the protocol.   The Irish Government has been fighting the EU side of late, it should learn to keep quiet, what if the EU demands that they place border checks on the border, will they so NO or YES, sometimes it is better to be quiet and then no one will notice you.  The PM has had a good day, also he is on holiday. 

UK wants new Northern Ireland Protocol - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports on a speech by Lord Frost when it comes to the Northern Ireland Protocol, Lord Frost stated the following, " "It is this Government, the UK Government, that governs Northern Ireland as it does the rest of the UK," said Lord Frost..."Northern Ireland is not EU territory. It is our responsibility to safeguard peace and prosperity and that may include using Article 16 if necessary.  "

Lets Get Real:

The speech was strong, it showed that the Conservative Government will take the HARD decisions if needed to protect the Good Friday Agreement, the Unionist groups have made it clear that the Northern Ireland Protocol has to go or they will leave the Government of Northern Ireland, that could lead to early elections and cause major problems for the Unionist side and the UK Government, polls suggest the Nationalist could have more seats in the North Ireland Assembly, thus calls for a unification vote.  This would be a disaster for the Unionist and for the British Government, so the OLD Northern Ireland Protocol has go, the UK has to be VERY firm on this, it is about the UK saying to the EU, take it or leave it, also the ECJ has to be removed, it is a EU institution  thus bias in favour of the EU.  The EU will come out with new ideas tomorrow, let's hope they understand, this could be their last chance, give or the UK will invoke Article 16 and revoke parts that are causing damage to the Province. 

Republic of Ireland Foreign Minister CRITICAL of UK over Northern Ireland Protocol - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Ireland's foreign minister has accused the UK of repeatedly dismissing EU proposals on the Northern Ireland Protocol before they are published. "

Lets Get Real:

One does WONDER why the  Republic of Ireland does not get the FACT that most of its TRADE is with the UK, and it would be better to stay neutral, does it really want a political fight with the UK, does it want to take orders from Brussels, what if Brussels demands that Ireland places border checks on the border between the Northern Ireland and Ireland, of course they would be stuck behind the 8 ball, they would and could not do that without breaking the Good Friday Agreement, that ended the troubles in the province, thus it would be better for Dublin to stay very quiet and make sure that the EU gives, the UK wants the ECJ out of the process, it is that simple, and much better for the relationship between the Belfast and Dublin.  PM Johnson should stay firm and strong on this issue. 

UK PM ready for fight with Parliament, Justice system over Article 16 - After Brexit

Mail on Sunday: Reports " The Government is bracing for a fresh Brexit clash with Parliament and the courts as ministers tell the EU it must agree to make major changes to Northern Ireland's border rules.  "

Lets Get Real:

IF the PM invokes Article 16, then the noise in opposition will come from the House of Lords, its full of REMAINERS, who have never gotten over the fact that the UK has voted to leave the EU and wants a limited relationship with that body.   As the House of Commons can over rule the House of Lords that should not be a problem, there a few REMAINERS still in the Commons but not as much after the PM did a political cull before the 2019 General Election.  Also even some young MPs know that going against the PM on this will surly rule them out for future jobs in the Cabinet even the top job itself.   The Courts are another problem, the House of Commons has to be FIRM with them, the House of Commons decides the LAW, it is up to the Courts to interoperate them, in the old days the King or Queen could just put irritant people in the Tower of London, but we are modern, no cushy seats in the House of Lords if they pull a stunt in favour of the EU.  Politics is a tough business, sometimes you have to show the power. 

Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol - Update - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports " UK demands on the Northern Ireland Protocol could cause "a breakdown in relations" with the EU, Ireland's foreign minister has warned.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has been very clear for months, the European Court of Justice has to GO, before the Northern Ireland Protocol can be reformed, it is seen as another power having control of UK Subjects, YES SUBJECTS OF THE QUEEN not Brussels.   The PM will be following the wishes of the UK voters from 2016 and 2019.  The Remain holdouts have still not gotten over the FACT that the UK has left, the French as always are trouble looking for a major rift between the UK and France and the EU.   PM Johnson should be FIRM, if the EU wants a TRADE WAR, let it be so, the French might try to cut of UK power to the mainland and its islands, the British have gotten through worse, so we have to buy our Turkeys early than is normal, so let it be, I AM sure the people of the UK coped with food shortages between 1939 and late 1950s, we always survive, no matter what Europe does.
