More Brexit Talks - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Yahoo! News: Reports " Brexit talks scheduled just in time for key EU October summit "

Lets Get Real:

The JOY or not of endless Brexit talks, this is the EU taking it down to the line, the French have been very clear they want to carry on having fishing rights in UK waters after Brexit and they have stated they will block any deal that does not have that.  Of course the paymasters of the EU, Germany might have to place pressure on them to accept a deal, they might get some money back from the Euro bailout for EU countries after COVID - 19.  The UK has been CLEAR, UK fish for UK fishermen, so the UK can not move on that also the EU should not be able to block UK government support for business after Brexit and COVID - 19.  It will be interesting to see who blinks first, let's hope the UK PM finds his inner Churchill or Thatcher. 

COVID - 19, 2nd Wave ? - COVID -19 Update 1 - Health/Economy

Sky News: Reports " Lockdown easing postponed and masks to be mandatory in most public indoor settings...The PM says police will enforce stricter face-covering laws - and halts plans to reopen bowling alleys and allow small weddings.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is confirming its call for a 2nd national lockdowm, whatever the financial cost, its better to close down everything for three months and come out with a vaccine, than the present course of closing down large areas of the UK, it is a confused message, and people being people who have got some of their freedom back will not want to go back in to lockdown.   If the whole Country closed  then everyone would be in the same boat.  Also the economy could be placed in suspension, and the effects of Brexit would not be that great when you have to deal with the results of COVID - 19. CLOSE NOW AND GET REAL.

Lord Botham of Brexit - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Former England cricket captain Sir Ian Botham is to join the House of Lords, the government has confirmed.  "

Lets Get Real:

Lord Botham Brexit has a ring to it, of course Lord Botham is a firm Brexit supporter and does great charity work.  The blog does not understand why the PM has placed Ken Clarke and Philip Hammond on the peerage list, they are firm Remain supporters, is No 10 trying to show that the BREXIT WAR is over and the Country must move on, the question is will the former Chancellors follow the Conservative whip or will they just be as stubborn in the Lords as they were in the House of Commons about Brexit.  At least the Conservatives have more on their side, the House of Lords had become Remain CENTRAL for those opposed to Brexit.   At least the former Speaker, John Bercow was not given an peerage, he broke the norms of the House of Commons in his attempts to block BREXIT, he used very OLD precedents in attempt to BLOCK BREXIT, he lowered the standing of the Speaker for his personal agenda.
