Scottish Indy Vote 2 - Post EU

BBC News: Reports " Nicola Sturgeon's call for a second referendum on independence for Scotland has been formally backed by the Scottish Parliament. "

Lets Get Real:

The SNP has no interest in keeping the Union with the UK, this latest gamble is based on the fact that without Independence the SNP is a pig with lipstick on, the SNP has not helped Scotland since it has been in power, it panders and has to be keept in power with the support of the Greens, give me break!!  The UK Government should say:

NO

The Brexit talks are to important to wait on the SNP wants, their request should be binned with the rest of the rubbish.   The Scottish people made their choice in 2014, that should be rubbed in the nose of the SNP and the Scottish Government.

The EU and the UK - Post UK

Telegraph: Reports " Europe will face 'severe consequences' from hard Brexit, EU's chief negotiator admits "

Lets Get Real:

This is an interesting story, there seems to be a brain cell in the EU, of course the UK leaving without a deal would be BAD for the EU, the EU does not want to see the UK become a haven for Business, it does not want to see business from EU countries move to the UK.   Thus as stated in this blog the UK has to be a firm and tough when talking to the EU, the 50 billion request should be binned at the start, the rights of EU citizens should be respected in the UK and abroad.    Of course after 2019 ALL immigration to the UK will be decided by the UK and what benefits come from moving to the UK will be down to the UK.  Two days to the UK becoming Independent again.

E Day - Article 50 - Post EU

Guardian: Reports " Sir Tim Barrow to hand-deliver article 50 letter to Donald Tusk..Head of UKRep to give document to European council president, signalling Britain’s intention to withdraw from EU "

The GREAT day is only two days away, next year the Government should make March 29th a national paid holiday.   Those who have been anti Europe have been waiting YEARS for this day.   The REMAINERS or the nuts as this blog calls them want to turn the clock back, how can you have protesters in favour of the EU, there is delusion and then there is delusion.  The EU has done NOTHING for the UK, it has cost the UK, time to finish being a member of the EU, take the HARD Brexit and GET OUT.   There is more to the World than the EU, thus more trade deals, and better trade deals, sole interest will be the UK not what another 27 need or want, a fine day that will be to the UK voters. 

50 Billion Blackmail by the EU - Post EU

Daily Mail: Reports " Pay us £50billion or face the consequences: EU chief negotiator ramps up threats ahead of Brexit talks saying there will be NO trade deal unless we agree to huge divorce bill  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK as this blog stated yesterday should not pay a farthing to the EU, this is out and out blackmail, if the EU wants to play hardball, so be it, the UK should cut taxes and make the UK the only Country for business to come too, it should announce that it is making Trade deals now no matter what the EU thinks or says, in fact we should not bother with a talks, we should go for a HARD Brexit.   The UK does not need favours from the EU, in fact the EU needs UK more than it needs it, let us play hardball, the EU is a front for Germany, well let the German taxpayer pay 50 Billion, not one farthing I say.

The Trump Administration and the Russians - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " President Donald Trump's son-in-law and aide, Jared Kushner, will be questioned by a US committee investigating alleged ties between the Trump team and Moscow. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russian connection is getting closer to POTUS, it will be interesting to see what Mr Kushner says about his meeting with the Russians, of course the FBI and the US Congress will have to find some wrongdoing if the investigation is to lead anywhere, so far meetings do not make a crime.   The Democrats want a Special Prosecutor, they hope it leads to a fishing of the Trump Empire in the hope of finding something illegal.   The Republicans should agree to a Select Committee of both Chambers as to keep the investigation under their control.   This Russian ghost is having last effects on the Trump Administration in its first term.

Jeremy Corbyn vs. Brexit - Post EU

Telegraph: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn accused of trying to sabotage Brexit negotiations by demanding 'impossible' deal "

Lets Get Real:

The REMAINERS have gotten to Jeremy Corbyn, he is spouting rubbish and must know its rubbish, the EU has made it clear that the UK will be out of the single market, this is an attempt by Corbyn to prevent another leadership challenge before the 2020 election.   IF there is no deal between the UK and the EU then the UK will HAVE A HARD Brexit, no agreement at all with the EU.   Let's see last time we were alone against Europe, there was a incidents, 1914-1918, 1939 - 1945, IF I recall, and we had the British Empire, the biggest Empire the World has ever seen!   Britain does its best when alone, the US will be there and the rest of the Commonwealth, this blog is not worried.

Trump and the US Congress - ObamaCare - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Trump blames everyone but himself for failure of GOP healthcare legislation..President’s targets include conservatives, Democrats and a possible veiled jab at Paul Ryan as Republican hand-wringing over repeal-and-replace failure continues "

Lets Get Real:

The failure of President Trump in the House is down to TRUMP, the deal maker does  not understand Washington D.C. he is no LBJ or Ronald Reagan, these Presidents understood the art of the deal, and how to sweet talk or bribe FOR VOTES in the House or Senate.  President Trump should read up on LBJ and Reagan, it has been said that Reagan has the best first term team in ages, they got his Agenda past, tax cuts, government cuts, defence buildup and in 1986 he got tax reform, so far Trump on the Hill has gotten ZERO, and it is his fault.  President Trump wanted to be POTUS, well he should have read up on the subject, making a land deal is not the same as being POTUS, even Obama did a better job, getting ObamaCare through the Congress.
