WHERE HAVE ALL THE MANNERS GONE ?

WHY OH WHY ?

Why Oh Why do young children have to shout at each other when in Public Places ?

Why Oh Why do grown up Men and Women have to shout to friends in restaurants who are seated two tables away ?

Why Oh Why do adults and youngsters have to shout loudly at their Mobile Phones in Restaurants, Trains and Buses?

Why do Parents allow children to run around inside restaurants, theatres and supermarkets like it is a playground ?

Why do Parents allow children to sit in seats on the bus and trains whilst Elderly, Pregnant people are standing ?

Why do Parents allow their children to make Elderly and Adults step into the road whilst their children walk on the pavement ?

Why do beer drinkers speak louder and louder in the bar the more beer they drink oblivious of the comfort of other Patrons ?

Why do people smoke on the table next to you in the restaurant blowing unhealthy smoke fumes in your direction ?

WHY OH WHY ?

Because today Parents do not teach their children
“ MANNERS “

Because Adults do not know what MANNERS are !

Because the schools do not teach MANNERS.

Because the Media does not promote MANNERS.

Is it not time we did something about this INDIVIDUALLY.

Think about this for a more Polite and Considerate Society.

THANK YOU.

LATEST BREXIT IDEAS FROM EUREKYS

UK / EU NEGOTIATIONS - KEY BLOCKAGES THAT NEED COMPROMISE

In my opinion, there are two huge blockages that needs to be unblocked in the very near future if we are to avoid a No Deal finale to the UK/EU negotiations.

These are....EU demands that ......
1- UK to accept free movement for EU citizens.
2-UK to accept EU rules of trade with the EU countries.

My solution - which MUST be a compromise is as follows -

1- Free movement - Agreed but the UK to reserve the right to cap numbers on EU Immigrants and the UK to be able to introduce Work Permits.
Immigration from the EU cannot be free movement unrestricted, unchecked offering EU immigrants Free Healthcare, Welfare Payments, Free Schooling.
Healthcare for example must be paid for by the Government of the Immigrants permanent address in the EU. Similarly, any Welfare Payments must be paid by the Immigrants country of birth.

2- Trade with the EU will be bound by Joint EU/UK rules BUT The UK will have the right to sign Trade bilateral and multi lateral deals with non EU countries across the world.

There will not be any tariffs between the UK and the EU.
As a result, everyone gains.

This solution will not please everyone but it is much better than a No Deal solution.

All other UK/EU partnerships should continue as present. For example....Academic research partnerships, European Airspace Agreements .

There must continue Free Movements actress Europe including the UK for Tourism, Short term Business Visitors, Cultural Exchange, Police and Anti Terrorism Data exchange and boa fide Students.

NATO defence and cooperation should remain in situ.
I think that my proposal is fair, reasonable and in the interests of the EU and UK.

Surely, it should be included in the options for settlement with the EU.

If not, and the Super Canadian Deal or World Trade Authorities Rules are rejected by the EU, then the EU will not get a £39Billions Divorce settlement - although the UK must honour commitments up to Leaving date March 2019.

If the EU negotiators reject all UK Options, then the UK Government must submit their Optional Proposals DIRECT to all 27 EU Countries.

If this fails, it is up to Parliament to decide what to do.

If we still have impasse, there is only one sensible final step......GENERAL ELECTION 2019.

Message to ALL Conservatives....

Do not be frightened by a General Election.
Conservatives WILL WIN.

What happens next......I DO NOT KNOW !

WILL BREXIT REALLY MEAN BREXIT ?

THE IMPOSSIBLE EU RED LINE - BRAVE REES-MOGG, STEVE BAKER AND SUPPORTERS ON THE OFFENSIVE.

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.

So far, I have seen the UK make concession after concession but rigidity 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 and Civil Servants in the Commission 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.

I support Rees- Mogg MP, Steve Baker MP and the 100 or more supporters in the Conservative Party who are trying so hard to get a “ Brexit means Brexit “ compromise solution. The final agreement will not be “ The Chequers solution. “ The EU will reject this.
The EU has so far offered no solution. The UK has taken 2 years talking to a “Brick Wall. “
Rees-Mogg MP, Steve Baker MP and their supporters do not wish to bring down the Government. I applaud their courage in producing a new alternative solution to the impasse with the EU.

All parties in this debate should recognise a workable compromise is needed..and fast.
If not, I believe that Parliament will Face a new General Election in January 2018.
Perhaps that will be good for Britain. I still predict a Conservative Win with a larger working majority.

In the meantime, Good Luck to Rees-Mogg, Steve Baker and supporters.
