THE MAIN BREXIT QUESTION

Theresa May should ask the EU early in March the following Question.

Do you intend to place Tariffs on UK Goods and Services when the UK leaves the EU ?
If yes, what level of Tarrifs will you impose ?

Theresa May should then say -

We need to know this so that we can impose the same amount of Tariffs on Goods and Services from the EU.

This might bring to a head the key issue of trade. Theresa May should then say -

If this is the outcome of Trade talks - EVERYONE in the UK and the EU will lose. Is this what you want ?

This will save months of haggling between the UK and EU negotiators.
The Trade balance is in favour of the UK.

BREXIT - THE FUTURE


BREXIT - THE FUTURE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EU

Some years ago, the people of Southern Ireland,EIRE voted to leave the EU.
Almost immediately, the EU launched a bribe campaign for EIRE to have a second Referendum.
The Irish Parliament followed like sheep and launched a second Referendum. This time the people voted to stay in the EU.
Now at present, there is a big problem with the Irish border, North and South when the UK leaves the EU and the Customs Union.
I cannot see an agreement being reached. So, what next ?
Simple answer.... EIRE should have another Referendum and hopefully will vote to Leave the EU.
Problem of the border...Solved.

Or, is it ?
If the Southern Irish remain loyal to the EU cause, what next ? Well, I do not think there will be a deal with the EU.
I think that the UK will not sign a legal document to guarantee that the UK will pay a Divorce Bill
of £39 Billions. The UK will join the World Trade Treaty BUT due to the low £ Against the Euro, there will not be a large trade deficit with the EU. Sooner than later, the EU will be the loser and will seek a new Trade Treaty with the UK. This is reality.

I wish our Politicians would recognise that leaving the EU without a deal is not a Hard Brexit.
It is a BIG OPPORTUNITY BREXIT.

Save the £39 Billions, Trade with the rest of the World, make our own decisions, Make the UK Parliament supreme again, live by our own Legal System, Revitalise our Fishing Industry, Support our Farmers financially, live in peace with Europe and the rest of the World.
Let all citizens share in the increased Wealth, Cooperate with the EU on Defence, Anti crime and Terrorism.

Can all this be achieve ? YES OF COURSE IT CAN.

NEW GUN LAWS FOR THE USA

 " GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE IN THE USA, IT IS PEOPLE THAT COMMIT CRIMES. "

So say Members of the National Rifle Association of America.

" The Constitution of America has enshrined into Law, the right of America Citizens to bear arms. " So say Members of the National Rifle Association of America.

In the USA Congress, there is deadlock over any change in Gun Laws.

Now, I have written several articles about USA Gun Laws. No one takes any notice. I sent my last article to President Trump but received no reply.

So, in order to help, I am summarising my solution to try and end mass murders in the USA.

NEW GUN LAWS 2018

1 Yes, the NRA Members can bear arms like the Constitution says BUT, only one Rifle for hunting purposes per Member.

2 Citizens can only own, one hand gun and six bullets for protection purposes only.

3 Anyone who wishes to buy or own a gun must produce a Doctors permit that they are of safe and sound of mind.

4 No mental patients should own a gun.

5 Permits to own guns last for one year. They must be renewed each year.

6 All automatic guns must be removed from shops including online shops.

7 The Federal Government will buy back all the stocks of automatic weapons.

8 It will be illegal to supply automatic weapons in future.

A 10 years jail sentence is waiting for offenders.

This will be a start. The present open ended Laws must be changed.

Will anyone out there listen ?
Will President Trump take the initiative ?

Surely, the lives of schoolchildren in the USA deserve protection from maniacs ?
Surely, citizens of the USA need more protection ?
Surely, my solution does not go against the USA Constitution ?

So, what is stopping Congress from acting ?

ATTRACTING THE YOUNG TO THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY

SOME PROPOSALS FROM EUREKYS

APRENTICESHIPS

Increase by 50% in 2018 the financial incentives for young people aged 18-25 years of age.

UNIVERSITY FEES

1- University Fees Payback Scheme ( UFPS ). Reduce future fees to £3,000 per annum with NO interest added.

2- Repay Students of the past 10 years by adding the amount of the loan to TAX CODING of the future.

3- If students have already repaid or owe a loan, the total amount of the original loan will be added to Future Tax Codes.
University sector funding must be made up by the Government.

4-  Broaden Social Media. Refer to the Labour example in the last election.

5- Launch online YOUNG CONSERVATIVE NEWS
This will be a journal keeping the Young informed BUT  not a Labour Knocking Journal but. WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WILL DO FOR YOU. GO positive with plans that will improve the lives of the young.

6- TAX RELIEF for Parents who provide financial help for Students.
Again, use Tax Codes and UFPS scheme to provide help for Parents and Grandparents.
Example - I paid more than £60,000 for two of my children to go to University. I had to pay 40% tax in my Business Career to earn this money. This is grossly unfair. I should have been able to allocate this against my Tax Code in future years. A much better scheme. 

7 - HOUSING 
Eliminate VAT for builders to lower the cost of social housing.
Consider a Government funded new Building Consortium.
Corporate and SMEs tax return relief on Profits for participate.
Invest in new low cost of construction methods of house building.

8- TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
Start 2018 with bold new plans to help the Young.
No trickle approach. A big realistic new plan which will win the Conservatives the  next election.

9- BREXIT
DO NOT let Brexit overshadow announcing new plans for the Young.
People want to know, regardless of Brexit, what is my future prospects. Labour will announce the Goodees and that is what The Young and everyone else wants to know.

GOOD LUCK

NEW EUREKYS LANDMARK

The number of articles published by EUREKYS has now reached 160

The first articles appeared in 2010

All articles are related to Political, Social and Cultural Affairs IN BRITAIN TODAY.

The Ethos of EUREKYS has been to offer Positive Solutions to Problems facing the UK in the Second Decade of the 21st Century.

WHO OWNS THE EU ?

WHO OWNS THE EU ? 
THE CURRENT DIVORCE BILL IS ONE SIDED IN FAVOUR OF THE EU.

I have written many articles in the past about How to settle the so called " Divorce Bill " for the UK to pay the EU when it leaves the EU.
It seems to me that all we hear about is the EU charting what the UK had committed to, including years and years of Pension contributions.
But, what about What the EU owes us ?
This brings in the question....Who owns the EU assets and liabilities ?

In previous articles, I have questioned...Is it the EU Commission ?
Is it the Council of Ministers ?  Is it the EU Parliament ?
No, it is owned pro rata by the 28 Member Nations.  The ownership should be proportionate to the number of MEP each nation has.
This seems fair and democratic to me.

If I am right, the EU needs to present to the UK, monies due after the Divorce. In any Divorce, net assets are allocated to each partner according to need.

So, let me emphasise, the EU needs to present a list of net assets and to identify the share the UK should receive as payback.
These will include, audited accounts for......

1-Monies in the Banks

2-Investments

3-Present value of properties which the UK has paid towards

4-Loans to fellow EU Nations

5-Refund on UK MEP pension funds

6-Rebates due to UK up to leaving date in 2019 or later if a 2 year transition period is agreed. These  payments will include Agriculture rebates, Education rebates and other contributions which the EU had agreed to pay in previous treaties.

These repayments to the UK should be deducted from the Divorce Bill !

So far, it seems like the UK are all give and the EU are all take.

It is time to start asking the EU Negotiators what their share of the Divorce Bill will be ? I guess their answer will be... Nothing.

Time will tell.

THE PARADISE PAPERS

THE PARADISE PAPERS

I do not wish to debate the pros and cons of the revelations from The Paradise Papers.
What I want to do is to suggest sone change in Government Policy which might help reduce
the scale of Tax Avoidance by the Rich and Global Companies.

1 - Any British citizen with a British Passport should pay Tax on earnings wherever it is deposited in the World.

2 - All income earned in the U.K. from earnings anywhere in the World, including Investment income or profits or Companies owned or part earned, should pay UK income tax.

3 - Profits earned by Companies in the UK should be pay UK corporations tax.

4 - Excessive Management charges to overseas companies to reduce e the tax burden should be illegal.

5 - Offshore tax heavens in British territories throughout the World such as Isle of Man, Jersey, Bermuda and others should be outlawed.

6 - A Wealth Tax of 10% of Capital Assets over £10 Million should be imposed by the Government.

7 - Assets owned by British citizens should pay the 10% Wealth Tax wherever these assets are in the World.

8 - It is outlawed for British citizens to establish companies to feed their earnings and assets into thereby reducing their personal tax burden. This includes Sole Traders.

You may not agree with all my recommendations but surely, they deserve a free and open debate in Parliament, The Media  and the Public in general.
Otherwise, the rich and Companies will continue to get away with avoiding tax, possibly legally under present legislation for many years to come.
