EU THREAT over Fisheries - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Talks

Guardian: Reports " UK fisheries accuse EU of using 'nuclear option' in Brexit talks....Head of trade body warns of French blockades if deal over fishing rights is not agreed "

Lets Get Real:

If the EU has any funny ideas or the individual States of blocking UK Ports then they should be reminded that we are out of the EU and we have our WATERS and FISH back.   Also we have the Royal Navy that will defend our Ports against any FISHING BLOCKADE, as noted in the article the French have tried this before, the French fisherman have undue power over their Governments.  The UK Government should be FIRM, after December 31st the transitional period ends and any past agreements on our fish also come to an end.  This is typical of the EU and interested parties, they try to blackmail Sovereign States.  Time for PM Boris to say NO to the EU and to France. 

The House of Commons voting rules - Update 2 - House of Commons

Sky News: Reports " Coronavirus: 'Tarzan-like mentality' behind government ending remote voting...Senior Conservative Robert Halfon tells Sky News it is "morally unjust" to "disenfranchise" MPs who are shielding due to COVID-19.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog believes in custom, you have to be in the House of Commons  and be in the Palace of Westminster to vote.  The voters send MPs back to London to do the business of Government, if a MP has a problem with that he or she should have told the voters before they were elected.  The Government must go on, there are important votes on Brexit to come, and MPs are expected to WORK for their wages, and not by remote talking and voting.  The Conservative Government was right to be firm with the their MPs, it was a three line whip, those that broke that rule need to be seen by the Chief Whip, they can always be placed on the Boer War Committee and that one is endless and you get no tea breaks, and everybody who was in charge are DEAD, they would have to spend hours reading history and memoirs and then the official records, it is endless, even going to South Africa to visit the sites, but not during the cricket season.   Yes back to the gulag for these MPs.

The Conservative NAUGHTY STEP has new members - House of Commons Today

BBC News: Reports on the House of Commons motion to return the House of Commons to normal practice and not virtual debates and voting, the article states the following, " Thirty-one Conservative MPs voted against the government, including Ms Bradley and other select committee chairs such as Tom Tugendhat and Greg Clark, and former ministers such as Tracey Crouch and John Redwood.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative NAUGHTY STEP has new members, and some of them are hard BREXIT supporters, they got used during the May period to having their mugs on the TV, mostly in opposition to the Government, now they are starting with PM Boris, but the trick that PM has is the fact that he has a 80 seat majority, and the new members of the Commons want to go up the greasy poll and become Ministers and finally in to the Cabinet.  The former Ministers and HARD REMAINERS have nothing to lose, as politicians their careers are over, either because they were sacked as a Minister or they are HARD REMAINERS who can not be trusted.  The Government set out a 3 line whip, for its members to support the Government, the Chief Whip needs a stern work with these rebels, stop them before they start causing trouble. 

Brexit talks Update 1 - Transition Talks

Guardian: Reports " EU has no legal duty to give UK trade privileges, document says...Paper concludes EU does not have to offer privileges given to others in previous deals  "

Lets Get Real:

As usual the left wing Guardian takes the side of the EU, both sides want an agreement that they can sell as a victory, the problem is that the EU normally expect countries to buckle and give way, this will not happen in 2020, Boris Johnson won the recent election on getting Brexit done, that means that the EU has to give way or the UK will walk out.  If that is the outcome it will be hard for the UK, but after COVID - 19 we are already in a mess, it will hardly add to our problems.  The UK PM can go out and and make deal with the rest of the World, without having to worry about the EU.  If we extend the transition deal we will have to pay for such an honour.  The British voter out in 2019, this must be the final result. 

The Law and Order President Part 2 - US Election 2020

Sky News: Reports " George Floyd death: Donald Trump will send in the army if cities fail to deal with protests...Donald Trump describes himself as the "president of law and order" and vows to end the "riots and lawlessness".  "

Lets Get Real:

It would be unlawful for a President to send US troops in to States if they have not been requested, the US Constitution and the Law is firm on that.  The President used his Rose Garden and his walk to the Church as a great pic opportunity, he also held a Bible.   This PR moment could do wonders for him in the rust belt States.   The Democrats have to recall that after the race riots of 1968, it was the Republican Richard Nixon who WON over the sitting VP to LBJ.   On the whole main street wants peaceful streets and law and order.  The problem with Trump, is that when something goes right for him, he messes it up before it can do any good for his job approval ratings. 

Law and Order President - POTUS - Presidential Election 2020

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in the following in its 01.07am post, " There was no talk of police reforms or the root causes of the protests that began last week at any point in the evening’s proceedings. Instead, he said he was the "president of law and order" - a sign, it seems, that his solution to the ongoing crisis will be an escalation of force.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog belives in peaceful protests, but what has occured over the last week is not peaceful protest, if the Police tell you to move on, you  move, you do not sit down and make them take action in removing protesters from the STREET.  Of course from the perception of the arch liberal CNN, its all Trump's fault, does anyone really listen to CNN for balanced news, its gone like the The New York Times, produced by the elite for the elite and for self hating white liberals.  If protesters do not move the RIOT ACT should be read, three warnings and then the Police and the National Guard should go on and arrest those protesters who disobey a Policeman or the National Guard.   The Democrats have to be careful, if they are seen for the protesters who throw things at the police and destroy property they face losing to Trump in November.   Main street America is not the arch liberal hubs of New York and LA.   It's hard to watch the once great network of CNN almost becoming a supporter of the protesters and not just reporting them.
