THE IMPOSSIBLE EU RED LINE

THE IMPOSSIBLE EU RED LINE

Some 2 years ago, the EU made perfectly clear what their key red line was in the Brexit negotiations that was to follow the UK Referendum.
Their red line was this.....” There could be no tampering or modification of the rules of the Single Market and The Customs Union.”
The UK response to this has been that “ We will negotiate a deal with the EU even though we will not be a member of the Single Market or the Customs Union. “
Now, 2 years later, the UK are still trying to do a special deal.
My view is that the two philosophies cannot agree and never will agree.

The EU negotiators are so stupid. Why cannot they say...Yes, due to the circumstances experienced in the UK - overloaded NHS, Schools, Welfare system, Communications - we will agree Free Movement but subject to a cap and Visa Policy of the UK Government. In other words..,REALISM.
No sane person wants a no deal Brexit.

So far, I have seen the UK make concession after concession but rigity from the EU.
The EU cannot get out of the hole of No deal without Freedom of Movement. This is a crazy impasse.
I am really concerned that there will be no deal with the EU.
Everyone will lose if this happens. I predict in the UK and EU the following Civil unrest.....

Strikes
Street Protests
Violence on the Southern / Northern Irish Border.
Southern Ireland protests leading to Southern Ireland having a new Referendum where the people will vote to Leave the EU.
Chaos with UK / EU border checks for trade
New elections in the UK and the EU.
Maybe the decline of the EU in its present form

Who wants this ?

When the British people voted to join the EEC in the 70s they did not expect to be trapped in a new Federal EU.
Our Government is guilty of signing Treaty after Treaty to do this. This was disgraceful.

The British People are not rebels. We want peace, good relations, mutual beneficial relations, respect, free travel,
Happiness for all the people in Europe.
We do not want to become economic enemies. We do not want strife. We want prosperity for all Europeans. We are Europeans.
We must not allow discord between the UK and Europe because a bunch of Politicians will not see the benefits of compromise.
Let me say it again...Free Movement YES But subject to UK Immigration Policy which is and will be GENEROUS to EU citizens and Third World citizens.
For heavens sake....Get REAL.

Otherwise, the future looks bleak.

PRESIDENT TRUMP - THE FACTS

PRESIDENT TRUMP VISIT TO THE UK - July 2018
Let’s put the Record straight.

Let me be very clear - I believe in peaceful protest in our Democracy. However, I have been searching for a word to sum up the recent protest in London and elsewhere and in Scotland against the visit of President Donald Trump, the legitimate elected President of the USA our greatest and most important ally. The word I have chosen is HYSTERICAL.

Yes, the recent Protests are wrong to show such rude and over the top objection to our guest and democratically elected President of the United States.
Now, let me express my Democratic views about the President.

TRUMP MANDATE
He is implementing what he promised the American Electors.
Not many Politicians in the West are able to do this once in office. He is a very successful Businessman who is used to dealing with all kinds of people from different nations of the World. He is confidant in his own ability. He believes in getting things done. He is a doer. He is tough. He is a Leader. He loves the USA and he is not willing for other countries to push him around or taking advantage of American Goodwill.
His Opposition do not like this !

STEEL
China and other countries have ruined the USA Steel Industry.
Thousands of USA workers have lost their job. Whole towns have become Ghost Towns. So, he promised to make the Steel Trade fairer to the USA. As a result he gets attacked by the culprits. He is right in his Policy. More jobs are being created in the Steel Industry. There is already are revival in the order book of the USA Steel Industry.

VISITOR BAN FROM ISLAMIC COUNTRIES
Trump was right to beware of incoming travellers from Islamic countries like Syria and Iraq. Until Isis has been completely beaten and peace returns, the USAdo not want terrorism on their soil. There is still a threat from religious maniacs who want to kill all of us in Western countries. Trump was being cautious. He was not against Human Rights. He wanted to protect American Citizens whilst danger remained.

MEXICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Next, is the Mexican Immigrant Influx.
Thousands upon thousands of Mexican Families have already crossed the border into the USA illegally.
He is right to put a stop to these people.
If he lets anarchy continue it means the breakdown of Democracy and the American workplace.
Limited immigration OK. Illegal entrants No. Trump is right again in his Policy.

THE CHILDREN
Trump never ordered children of immigrants to be separated from their Parents. When he found out about this Policy, he stopped it. Now do not say, he should have known. He has been host travelling the World on many other matters. He cannot know everything.

APPOINTMENTS
If you are a Leader, you need loyal intelligent in your team who support you. He had sacked a number of his team - rightly so.

PEACE EFFORTS
Trump is making bold attempts to prevail Peace by talking to North Korea. Next Russia. This is a very good move.Talk not War.

NATO
The USA pays more than 3% of their huge GDP than any of the other NATO countries. Many countries do not pay their fair share. It is right that Trump says that these countries pay more.

TAXES
President Trump promised the USA voters that he would reduce taxes. He has done this. The USA Economy is booming as a result.

IRAN
The Agreement with Iran was seriously flawed. It was only for a 10 year period. Trump does not trust Iran. There are constant Iranian protests yelling “ Death to America .” The Problem is that they mean it !
Given the chance Iran would send a Nuclear bomb to destroy Israel. Trump is right to demand a more stringent agreement with Iran.

CLIMATE
The Climate Accord is another example of sham commitment by many countries. Trump does not reject Climate change. He wants all countries to play their part in a new agreement.

TRADE
On his recent visit the UK press reported that Trump had said that there was no trade deal if the UK operated under EU rules.
Of course, he was right. When this was later reported, that he had changed his mine - this was incorrect. The Daily Express headline was “ Trump’s Jaw - Dropping U- Turn over Brexit.” He meant that if the UK did not sign up to EU rules, there would be a trade deal. Trump does not want to be restricted by the EU in any way. Yes, he puts America First. Don’t we put the UK First ?
In reality, it would be stupid for the EU to stop trading with the UK and crazy for the USA to stop trading with the UK.
Once again, it is not double talk from Trump only double talk from the Media.

THE ECONOMY
Since his election as President, Trump has created a boom in the Economy, Job creation, higher wages and a Wall Street DOW Jones Index at a high.

TAXATION
Drastic reductions in Corporation Taxes, higher allowances for ordinary people has spearheaded a feeling of optimism. Trump has done what he promised in spite of constant Democratic opposition.

THE MEDIA
What worries me about the recent Protests widely covered by the Media is that it could give the wrong impression to the USA that the UK does not like Trump - Far from reality. There is no doubt that the Media are biased often against Trump.
It is so difficult for ordinary people to make sense out of the sensational stories. On TV in Newsnight and often in the News the reporters give wrong impressions.

TRUMP BUSINESS
Trump has thousands of women working for him for many years. They like him. The Democratic Party are trying every dirty move to discredit Trump. They rake up any rumour. They lie. Yes, and Trump is right, there is lots of Fake News in the Media.

OUR NEEDS
We in the UK need President Trump. The West needs President Trump. Give the man a chance. Treat him as the Representative of the USA with respect. Keep events in prospective. He is doing a difficult job. Ridiculing him only helps our joint enemies.
The USA has come to the aid of the West in WW1 and WW2.
If the USA had not intervened I wonder how much freedom we would have today ?

THE TRUTH
A feature of Media reporting today is that they like to sensationalise. They twist the facts and often the truth.
They like headlines that sell newspapers. On TV, pundits also twist the facts and the truth. Ordinary people cannot be blamed for believing them.

DICTATORSHIP versus DEMOCRACY
Remember, in the USA the Government consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. Trump is not a Dictator.
In the Media, he is often portrayed as a Dictator. Not so.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
Even since Hilary Clinton lost the election, the Democrats have been searching for any evidence or Fake News that could tarnish Trump. The Russia Involvement to rig the election for example. The American people are not stupid. They wanted Trump because he talked sense. He made promises that he intended and has implemented. He was a breath of fresh air on Capitol Hill and the White House.

IN BRITAIN TODAY
We are a divided Nation. Perhaps we have always been a divided Nation. It is so difficult for us ordinary Voters to understand what really is the truth and the facts. I hope that this article helps to put the record straight.

YES Protest. But, remember you might be in the minority.
Protesters represent their rightful views. They do not represent my views or those of people like me or the Government of the United Kingdom. We must beware of Mob Rule.

LONG LIVE AMERICA - SAVIOURS OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY.

Good luck in the future President Donald Trump.
Welcome to the United Kingdom, your ally and friend.

IMMIGRATION INTO EUROPE

IMMIGRATION INTO EUROPE

The current rate of people trying to enter Europe mainly from African States is non sustainable.
Already in Germany where Merkel welcomed over 1 Million immigrants, there is Political turmoil.

In the UK, the Immigration issue has been the main reason why over 17 Million people voted for Brexit.
Hungary , Greece and Italy are some of the countries who have suffered from boatloads of Immigrants. Let’s face it - most Immigrants are young men, looking for jobs and handouts. The Asylum rules are crazy. There will always be wars in many African states. Tribalism still prevails.
If Europe does not stop this tide of African influx, I am afraid that we are going to have even bigger problems in European Society.

I am shocked that the EU does not realise what massive immigration can do to European Nations.

David Cameron tried very hard to get the EU to agree a cap on Immigration into the UK. He failed in this mission.
The EU seemed to dismiss the problems that the UK already had. For example, The NHS overstretched. Schools overcrowded. Medical surgeries full up. Motorways cluttered. Jobs taken by Immigrants for lower wages. Free movement can be disastrous.

Why do you think the following countries wanted to join the EU?
Poland
Lithuania
Romania
Bulgaria
Ireland
Portugal
Greece

Answer - they receive more money and support from the EU than they put into the EU Budget. Of course they want to stay in the EU.

If the EU had only said to David Cameron - Yes, The UK can place a cap on Immigrants, I believe the result
of the Referendum would have been- REMAIN.

What fools the Hierarchy of the EU are !

The UK must get out of the EU in March 2019.
Deal or No deal.
Remember - a No deal will cause the EU MORE problems than the UK.

Immigrants who have qualified to work in the UK are welcomed. Of course they are. Do NOT claim that the UK are against Immigrants. This is totally untrue. Let me say it strongly, the UK needs Immigrants. The UK respects Immigrants. I personally value Immigrants and the great contribution they do in our NHS, our Government. Our Retail stores, our Railways and so on and on. They are vital to our Economy.
But, a flood of unauthorised Immigrants under the guise of Asylum seekers, low educated Africans seeking jobs and potential terrorists from Islamic Republics should be very carefully monitored.

Britain is a great country. I do not want my Grandchildren to inherit a country full of turmoil and strife.

Vet new incoming Immigrants very carefully. If there any doubts, do not let them in. Send them back to their country of origin.
Do not feel guilty for doing this. It is facing up to reality.

A new Visa system must be created. The Australian method works very well.
We can no longer allow a young Immigrant in who then has the right to bring in his Whole family from India, Pakistan, EU and elsewhere. In my town, 90% of the pupils in a new £4 Millions school are from Pakistan.
One new Immigrant could mean 13 extra new family members - the older members need medical help, cannot work and want dependence on the UK generous Welfare Programmes. This cannot go on.

The solution to Health Tourists is simple. Their country of origin must pay the bills and no credit given - they do not pay the bills once they have returned to their home country.

THE LOAN SHARKS

THE LOAN SHARKS - TIME TO CALL A HALT. 

How much longer is the Government going to allow these Loan Sharks to operate ?
These days you see their TV advertisements plying on many poor people.

On TV tonight one such Company was advertising Loans.
In small print they were quoting 1325% AER. There our many more Loan Sharks charging similar amounts of interest.
That is.....One thousand, three hundred and twenty five per cent each year ! Incredible.

I earn 1% from my Bank for deposits. I am lucky. Many Banks offer 0.5%.
The Sharks are charging over 1,000 per cent AER.
The problem is that many poor people, perhaps with low education do not understand was they are letting themselves in for. They are desperate for money. They see the Loan Sharks are an easy way out of their shortage of money to pay their bills.
A terrible problem of catch22.

Surely our banking system should be more lenient towards the poor.

I hate these Loan Sharks. Time to limit interest rates charged. For example, 3% AED maximum repayable in 3 months from date of Loan.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

WORLD CUP 2018 - THE DIRTY GAMES

WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018
The Dirty Games

I have watched the World Cup all my life.

Never before have I seen so much dirty play which has been ignored by the Referees and VAR.
England have suffered so much by this dirty play.

I will not mentioned the offending teams - they know who they are. This is what I have witnessed...

Players jumping on the backs of the Defenders in the penalty area.

Arms around defenders waists pulling them to the ground.

Pushing defenders in the back

Hacking at the feet of attackers

Butting into the chest of defenders

Hand balling

Elbowing backs, chests, stomachs.

Tripping up attackers

Spitting in face

Pretending they were pushed in the penalty area.

And...on and on.

Really dirty players.
How could referees with VAR and linesmen ignore this carnage ?

Yes, I am sorry for the Russian organisers. They did their very best. But, the Referees were hopeless ?

RUSSIA 2018 were the DIRTY WORLD CUP GAMES !





WHERE ARE THE EU PROPOSALS TO SETTLE BREXIT ?

BREXIT - ANY SOLUTIONS FROM THE EU ?

I am a bit fed up with so many people and organisations blaming Theresa May, The Cabinet and the Conservative Party for not coming up with Proposals that the EU would accept.

It is about time that the UK asked the EU...What are your proposals ? At present, it is a game of tennis. The UK proposes a Plan and the EU knocks it away.
On and on this game goes on. Surely, the EU should play a constructive role instead of a destructive role.

So far, the UK have made concession after concession.
On Trade, the UK should say...We will impose same tarriffs
on EU goods and services as the EU will impose on the UK.
Guess who will win ? No one. The Consumers in the UK and EU will suffer. However, the EU will suffer the most. There is about £ 100 Billion Trade deficit between the EU and UK in favour of the UK.

My view is that we are heading for an impasse.
It is right that the UK prepares for a no deal.
What will happen is that there will be an election in the UK because MPs will not accept the final Brexit Plan.
Probably the Conservatives will win with a working majority.

What will happen next...I haven’t a Clue !
