Are you staying up to watch?

1 am ! Crikey no. I am tired from trawling the mainstream media.

Let’s see what has happened in the morning.

2am for you, even worse.

The European model is streets ahead of the USA model .....

Eh?   

The EU is modelled on the USSR, with an all powerful unelected and unaccountable General Secretary (President), supported by a Politburo (EU Commission) made up of Commissars (EU Commissioners) who are appointed by the Socialist Soviet Republics (EU Member States) and a Duma (EU Parliament) that cannot iniate legislation, just rubber stamp whatever is handed to them by the Politburo (EU Commission).     

“the European Union is the old Soviet Union dressed in Western clothes.”   Mikhail Gorbachev

Thank God we left! 

The American system certainly has its faults. One thing I find bizarre are the Executive Order powers that the POTUS has. In recent times we've seen both Trumpy and Sleepy Joe sat at the Oval Office desk with a stack of Executive Orders they are about to sign with no Congressional oversight.    I'm sure that St Obomber, Dubya, Bubba/Big Dog et al used them extensively as well.   

Thank God, Starmer doesn't have such powers!    Although he does seem quite happy to use the very same Henry VIII powers (Statuary Instruments)  to change the law that he often slagged off the Torys whenever they used them.

I'm betting Donald will say progress has been made with the peace talks, and he'll bomb them a fortnight on Monday if it doesn't work out. I hope so, anyway.

Meanwhile the Iranians will say "What talks?".

A bit of a messy compromise, but at least our guests are having a rest
