Mother Theresa Takes Control
« on: 24 July 2018, 22:02:45 »

Two weeks into his new job as BREXIT Secretary Dominic Raab has been sidelined, as the PM announces that she is taking control of the BREXIT negotiations and the Cabinet Office's Europe Unit headed by the now infamous Olly Robbins will take overall responsibility for the talks.  ::)

My betting is that she didn't like Raabs declaration over the weekend that there would be no divorce payment to the EU if they didn't deliver with a free trade deal.  I also think that she will soften her stance even further and give more concessions to the EU which will keep us in the EU in all but name (or BRINO), gambling that Tory MP's won't bring her down and force a General Election.  :P

This is what TM said when the Dept. was set up

“I will create a new government department responsible for conducting Britain’s negotiation with the EU and for supporting the rest of Whitehall in its European work. That department will be led by a senior Secretary of State – and I will make sure that the position is taken by a Member of Parliament who campaigned for Britain to leave the EU.”

How times change.

I have no idea how all of this will end and I have given up trying to guess. TM is obviously after her place in history, but I think she is on a hiding to nothing.

Anyone would think we are a third world country shitting ourselves in case our betters don’t like what we suggest. Fk um I say, time to play hardball that’s the way it will end anyway. Why the hell dont everybody on all parties cons,libs, labs,  get together and sort it out I mean that is really why MP s are there,  we pay the fuc/ers after all.

The woman is a useless and disgraceful waste of skin. The Tories should grow a pair and knife her mercilessly, then replace her with almost anyone. Cant imagine any of them doing a worse job.

They are also bringing out another White Paper, parts of which amends the recently passed EU Withdrawal Bill, so that crucial clauses of the European Communities Act are not repealed.  Meaning that EU law will remain supreme until December 2020 and the ECJ retains jurisdiction.  ::)

I guess it gives a legal basis to the so called implementation/transition period, but it's a bit troubling that they're already weakening the legislation that takes us out of the EU.  :-X

I am not going to start suggesting anything one way or another on Brexit, as the numerous interuprations of the "correct" policy is almost in the number of every adult in the land. Everyone has something to say on it.

That then is the problem; we live in a democracy that with a Brexit vote split 48/52 over those who voted, with complicated patterns over age groups, political persuasion, and class. The PM has the hardest job in the world to balance all this, giving rightful recognition to the result, the needs of the country and telling Europe what we want that has the support of the majority of MP's, her own and those of other parties, that will be political acceptable to all parties, especially to us, the people.

Now if we did not have a democracy the situation would be much easier.  The Leader would tell everyone what they must accept, and shoot those who disagree. Easy!

So, anyone who thinks PM May has an easy life, and should just "sort it out", is simply naive.  Anyone who had been handed the poisoned chalice of Brexit, would suffer the same torturous road of trying to bang heads together and getting a consensus of positive opinion to travel to Brussels with. On the pitence we pay our politicians, even the PM, we are lucky we do not get the likes of certain directors of major corporations who are paid millions more and still well and truly fxck up!

She wasn't handed the poison chalice, she volunteered herself for it and campaigned against anyone else who wanted it.
Her approach to Brexit now, flies in the face of her speech on the subject last year.
She has given the job of sorting the whole thing out to Oliver Robbins, her hand picked closest adviser, and arch Europhile.
As I said earlier, a useless waste of skin.

While we are subject and continue incorporating the EU rules to keep single market compatibility, May-Robbins weasel words 'common rules', which is the EU rule book or 'acquis communautaire' all the laws, rules and regulations that define the EU, there is no Brexit, there are no red lines as the EU can erase these as and when they wish as single market rules like insisting on the complete free movement of people, common tax rates, trading only with an adopted common currency, transparent borders for people as well as goods, payable fees for us benefitting from 'frictionless trade', ECJ supremacy and anything else they decide, and the EU are masters at extending regulation especially into new areas. >:( >:( >:(

We will become as always planned a vassal province of the EU dictatorship on even worse terms than now as we will have no representation or say on any new laws, rules or regulations. The EU 'acquis communautaire' is their army of occupation. >:( >:( >:(

There will be NO FTAs with countries outside of the EU as they will all insist on reciprocal standards which is incompatible with our EU straight jacket on goods and agricultural products. So no big gains from ROW trading, cheaper food etc. >:( >:( >:(

The May-Robbins EU pact will be to the UK the biggest sell out to foreign interests and countries this country has suffered since Traitor Heath took us into the EEC and any Europe country since the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop was to Poland. >:( >:( >:(
