Is there light at the end of the tunnel or Sub ? - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Guardian: Reports " EU and UK teams pin hopes on 'tunnel' talks to deliver Brexit deal....Both sides hope imminent Brussels summit will lead to decisive secret negotiations "

Lets Get Real:

Thus a positive article by the left wing remain Guardian, they are reporting hope at the EU Summit next week, of course the right wing Daily Mail is worried about the French, we all worry about the French!! Will they demand the same fish quota that they get NOW, do they not get the fact that the UK has left the EU and UK WATERS mean UK FISH.  No 10 has been more cautions, useful talks but still problems, the PM can not give in on his deadline, there must be progress to a DEAL or the UK should walk.  The UK should not give BIG CONCESSIONS, we left them, not the other way around. 

Will France blow up next Week's EU Summit over Fish - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Fears 'short fuse' Emmanuel Macron could blow up Brexit trade deal as Michel Barnier 'urges EU leaders to stand firm on demands at crunch summit next week and seek further British concessions' "

Lets Get Real:

The German Chancellor needs to put a muzzle on President Macron, if he pulls a stunt at the meeting next week the UK could walk and keep ALL OUR FISH.  The French want to run Europe, while the BIG TRUTH is that Germany in an economic sense has its informal Empire it always wanted, nothing gets done within the EU without the German Okay.  The British people have voted twice in 2016 and 2019 to leave the EU, if the EU wants to play games then the UK should just walk.  The French and Germans will come running if the UK walks, they need us more than we need them, it is about time France grew up!

The Latest UK Poll - General Election 2024

Guido Fawkes: Reports in its 12.47pm post the following " latest YouGov poll, it finds that the Conservatives LEAD Labour by 3%, the Conservatives on 41% and Labour on 38%  "

Lets Get Real:

The poll reminds this blog of a story it read, Margaret Thatcher was told by a staffer that the Labour Party was ahead in a poll, the Iran Lady stated, they should have a bigger lead.  That is real leadership.  One does wonder the real effect of Sir Keir Starmer on voters, he might be to London Remain centric for old Labour voters and he might be wanting to be the heir to Tony Blair to much by new voters.  Also there will not be an election in till 2024, if the Government gets rid of the Fixed Term Parliament Act then the PM can call an election when he wants.   The problems with the ACT were shown during the early months of the Johnson Premiership, the PM should have the final say on a General Election.  

The Latest from Today's talks between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Downing Street said the meeting with Lord Frost - held with less than a week to go until the UK's deadline for agreeing a deal - had been "useful".  "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is already talking about going over the deadline set by the UK PM's, the EU is playing for time, it wants to make the talks last long a they can and then force the UK to accept a BAD DEAL.  The deadline is the 15th of this Month, next Thursday to be exact, if there is no agreement the UK should walk, the UK has other things to worry about, the talks could restart after the New Year, then we shall see the EU running to start talks and to agree to what the UK wants.  The EU is playing its OLD GAME, it is about time the UK pulled the plug, enough is enough.  The French want our fish, and Brussels wants to decide how much funding the UK Government gives business, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 

King Charles 11 and Brexit - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Guardian: Reports " Belgian ambassador throws King Charles II treaty into EU fishing debate..British king granted 50 Flemish fishermen ‘eternal rights’ to English fishing waters in 1666  "

Lets Get Real:

The Guardian having a Royal story, are they all right in the office, okay its 35o years late, but at least the Guardian is showing a Royal Story.  This case King Charles 11, the merry monarch as a gift gave flemish fisherman right in the UK waters.   As this blog is a firm royalist, one should consider giving Belgian fisherman some extra rights in the UK waters.  It must not be said that the UK does not keep the word of its King ( no this blog has not lost the plot ) the UK is a monarchy that goes back a a thousand years, with a minor exception in the 17th Century, this blog supports the granting of the above concessions, as long as the Belgian boats are small and not massive ships of today, also powered by wind, there are concessions and concessions. 

Trump is burning the House down as he loses US Presidential Election - US Presidential Election

Sky News: Reports " US election 2020: Biden rejects Trump's calls to push back final two debates by a week...His campaign says a virtual debate is a "non-starter", but Joe Biden's team tells the president he can't "rewrite the calendar". "

Lets Get Real:

Trump or his campaign staff must KNOW its OVER, that Biden could wing BIG in a couple of weeks time, the Republican Party has to look after itself, it should make sure that the Republican Senate approves Trump's selection for the US Supreme Court, that will go down well with the Republican base and might save a few Republican Senators, the House in the view of the polls will remain Democratic.  The Republicans need to argue that a Republican Senate would prevent the Democrats packing the US Supreme Court with LIBERAL judges.  One does wonder how Trump will cope will losing, will he grown up or will he have to be dragged from the White House.  The same goes for his supporters, will they accept a President Biden, the 46th President of the United States.

The need for progress on UK/EU Talks - EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " The UK needs to take "significant steps" in the coming days to secure a trade deal with the EU, the European Council president has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the EU playing pressure on the UK, the PM's deadline of the 15th of October is coming up soon.  The EU wants to play in to the long grass, this is their typical MO, then the force the other side to back down.   This time the PM has to be FIRM, we get a free trade deal or we walk, cut taxes for business and make the UK the place to do business, while the EU is in the COLD.  These endless talks have gone on long enough, if there was a deal it would have happened by NOW. TIME TO WALK.  At the end of the day, the fish in the UK wasters are British Fish and its up to the UK government to decide what support we give to business.
