The UK and the EU - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Tory MPs claim the EU must realise the UK is ‘under new management’ and will not cave in during talks ‘like Theresa May’ after Germany cancels Brexit trade deal discussion because of ‘lack of progress’ "

Lets Get Real:

The EU is used to last minute agreements, thus it hopes to wear down the UK and its Government.  In the case of BREXIT this will not work, as any agreement needs to get through the House of Commons and then passed by the rest of Europe.  This blog has argued that the UK should just walk away, the game playing of the EU is starting to BORE, even the newspapers rarely run a story on the the Brexit talks, its like a game, and the UK and the EU are playing two different games, the UK Government has the support of the UK public when it comes to Brexit, the EU has Brussels.   Times to end this game and walk away.

House of Commons and Brexit - Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " the next moves of Brexit are never far away, with Tory Brexiteers increasingly wary of the government striking what they would regard as an unacceptable deal with the EU... "

Lets Get Real:

This is the REMAIN BBC hoping that the PM Boris will cave in to EU demands, this is not likely, the PM has had many U turns since Covid - 19, the one policy he can not change is BREXIT.  The Brexit story has been off the front pages of the papers for ages, with COVID - 19 the papers have had to deal with a real STORY, a tragedy in the amount of people lost.  The UK voters have been clear twice that they want out of the EU, the HARD REMAINERS want any connection with the EU, thus they seem to forget that the Government can over rule the House of Lords, we the UK voter will have BREXIT, a real Brexit, not a Brexit in name only. 

Full Brexit ? - Update 1 - Transitional Phase

Guido Fawkes: Reports in its 3.45pm post the following " Guido has been spending some time reading the Cabinet Office’s secret planning assumptions for the approaching end of transition. What comes through, page after page, is that Britain is going to get a full-caffeine Brexit, one way or another be in no doubt that there will be no EU say in Britain’s regulations or laws. Either with or without a deal…  "

Lets Get Real:

The above is the type of news that this blog wants to HEAR, that the UK will decide its own destiny, the UK can cope with a NO DEAL BREXIT and a 2nd wave of Covid - 19, the UK Government is already planning for it, just in case, that it goes down that road.   One hopes that the EU have their ears open, this means Paris and Berlin.   The EU blew its chance with PM's Cameron and May, one hopes that they do not read the Guardian and think that is UK policy.  On December 31st the UK will be totally FREE, about time since 2016.  Any problems will be dealt with, the British are good in a crisis either War or Royal EVENTS. The EU is slowly missing the UK, the UK is on the train, will the EU join us or be left at the platform. 

Support your local Pub - Culture Update 1

Guardian: Reports " Wetherspoons sales fall as pub chain says Covid will push it to loss..Chairman Tim Martin expects period of ‘more subdued sales’ when eat out to help out ends "

Lets Get Real:

As the chairman of Wetherspoons supported Brexit through out the process we should support our local pubs.   It has been nice to get out and seeing real people getting along with their real lives, watching reality shows on TV for a while has been fun, but seeing people smile, having conversations and laughing is a must part of being alive, stuck at home for nearly 5 months has almost being annoying at watching CNN or the BBC when it comes to Brexit.    It is nice to shoot the breeze with other people, just talking about nothing, is part of being alive.   Let's hope we do not need a 2nd lockdown, that would be a disaster for the UK ECONOMY.

The Republican Convention - US Election Update 1

On the whole this blog does sully its mind with watching the conventions, it was bad enough to catch some of the arse kissing by CNN of the Biden Convention and this blog is supporting Biden out of no choice!

BBC News: Reports " The Republican National Convention has kicked off with a roll call formally nominating Donald Trump to run in the 3 November election.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the GOP is the NOW the party of of Trump and his family.  The President is in trouble, he is down in the national polls and he is down in the rust belt States.   The President needs to find something or really go to town with Biden during the campaign debates.   The elite liberal media, CNN, NYT are celebrating Biden as superman, only because he manged to get through a speech, and what happens when he is off the teleprompter, can he duke it out with Trump in the debates, that will be interesting. 

EU plays hardball with the EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

The Sun: Reports " NO THANK EU! 

Brussels throws out Britain’s Brexit blueprint & urges EU nations to remain ‘cold blooded’ as deadline looms "

Lets Get Real:

So the EU is playing hardball, well the UK should just walk way and blame the EU and the French for the problem.  The Brussels delegation is under the thump of the French who are afraid of losing their long term fishing concessions in UK waters and also the Germans.  The UK should remind the EU that the UK Government has two mandates, one from 2016 and the recent 2019 general election, the UK has been VERY CLEAR in what they want, OUT of the EU and we should not make any more concessions and we should refuse to give them any money that was agreed too in the withdrawal agreement.   That money can be spent on the NHS and life care for the elderly, better use than for the retirement of EU officials.  PM Boris has to show that he has steel and that he is not just ALL SHOW, the Conservative supporters and voters want that, the mind find his inner Churchill or Lady Thatcher.  

PM Boris vs. Sir Keir - Latest polls - 2024 General Election

Guido Fawkes: Reports in its 5pm post the following, " In unsettling news for the Government, despite the Tories maintaining a lead in voting intentions, the latest YouGov poll puts Sir Keir ahead of Boris on the crucial ‘Best PM’ question for the first time. Willing to upset the hard left, write in the Mail on Sunday, and brush over his party’s own failings in Wales, Sir Keir is a much more formidable opponent than the Tories have faced in years…"

Lets Get Real:

No 10 will not be quite worried yet, the next election is in 2024 and the PM has a 78 majority in the House of Commons.  The PM has to get BREXIT done and short out the education mess when he comes back from his hols.  The poor PM has had a rough year, he deserved a holiday to recharge the batteries.   The EU is playing the UK like fools, the UK should cut bait with the EU and say we will have a NO DEAL BREXIT, then we shall see the EU come back running to us.  The above post does have an interesting point, Sir Keir Starmer is a tougher opposition leader, he will not be a pushover like Jeremy Corbyn, just a little bit more move to the right and Sir Keir could become a REAL THREAT in 2024.
