The Last Days of Trump - 2020 Presidential Election / Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

In 2016 this blog blogged and supported HRC, but placed £2.50 for Trump to WIN, this election cycle this blog is reversing its thought of doing the same.  Let's be honest Trump has been a disaster as POTUS, Nixon comes out better, No wonder Tricky Dicky wanted Trump to run, you can say a lot of things about Nixon, but he knew people, he did win 49 States in his re-election and thus could postulate that Trump would be a disaster, and the has been, he has taken the Presidency to NEW LOWS, even compared to Bill Clinton.   The Oval's reaction to COVID - 19 has been a total disaster, hundreds of thousands have died, and Trump after getting the disease thinks he is immune, thus having large gatherings were the disease can spread.  CNN has been totally negative, makes one feel sorry for Trump!!! Trump has been friendly to Putin's Russia and to North Korea, he has been critical of allies, while bending backwards to be nice to enemies of the West.  Thus we are not far from the Biden Era, God help us!

Resumption of UK/EU talks - Part 2 - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

It is one of the HARDEST words in the English Language, COMPROMISE, it depends how far the EU expect the UK to compromise, the PM can not compromise over UK FISH IN UK WATERS, that would be seen as throwing the UK fisherman under the bus for the benefit of the French, on State support for business, that is more of middle ground issue, an agreement would STOP any future LABOUR Government from taking over large areas of the UK economy and also keep a check on the EU countries doing the same.  As to UK fish, how much of a cut can the French President take before it becomes a political problem for him, also will the cut in concessions but done over a gradual time.  Also the PM can not agree to the ECJ being the final judge on the issue, the ECJ in not popular in the UK. 

UK and EU talks RESUME - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

Let's hope that the EU is being playing with a fair hand, will they really give concessions on fish, and how much EU regulations do we have to take, the French are the problem, the French President faces elections and he does now want to see as being weak over French fisherman, and this could play in to the hands of the Opposition, it depends how much fish we allow the French to get, not the 84% they get NOW, but a vastly reduce number, otherwise it will be seen that the UK has given way far to much to Paris.  As to accepting EU regulations, we can agree NOW, but if they are problem, ditch them, a Treaty is only as good as both sides see the benefits.   The EU/UK talks start tomorrow!!
