A little too late, don’t you think? The globos dredged up all manner of untruth to try to stifle the will of the British People – stock collapse, no healthcare, no food, blah, blah. Now, they resort to the most unusual, ridiculous, and woefully belated attempt:

The U.K.’s worst productivity slump in a quarter of a millennium may be caused by a “perfect storm” of three factors, according to a study to be published this week.

Productivity was almost 20% below its pre-2008 path in 2018 — the worst slowdown since 1760-1800, as the Industrial Revolution took hold. The present-day malaise may have been caused by the end of the information and communications technology boom, the financial crisis, and Brexit.

BREXIT!!! See the graph – which, by the way, shows a productivity INCREASE over the past ten years, even with some separation from the general employment. Shock. And, it’s ten years. How could BREXIT factor – again, see the graph – into an increasing “decline” that started long before Leave cranked up? It didn’t.

Hint for GB: when you commence the repatriations, make damned sure to ship the wizards out first. That by itself would raise productivity, spirits too.

BREXIT!

1/31, 11 PM and done!

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.

With little fanfare, Britain left the European Union on Friday after 47 years of membership, taking a leap into the unknown in a historic blow to the bloc.

The U.K.’s departure became official at 11 p.m. (2300GMT), midnight in Brussels, where the EU is headquartered. Thousands of enthusiastic Brexit supporters gathered outside Britain’s Parliament to welcome the moment they’d longed for since Britain’s 52%-48% vote in June 2016 to walk away from the club it had joined in 1973. The flag-waving crowd erupted in cheers as Big Ben bonged 11 times — on a recording. Parliament’s real bell has been silenced for repairs.

In a message from nearby 10 Downing St., Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Britain’s departure “a moment of real national renewal and change.”

Level it up!

Nigel went out with a bang!

God bless England.

*Blog Note: This is a wrap for January 2020. Thanks for making this the best, highest-trafficked month in a year and a half and the best January in three years. See you in February!

January BREXIT?

Happy first day of winter 2020. Roll, Boris, roll.

Britain took a big step towards the European Union exit door on Friday when lawmakers gave preliminary approval to Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s EU divorce bill in a decisive vote that broke years of political deadlock over Brexit.

The House of Commons, with its Conservative ranks swollen after Johnson’s election victory last week, voted 358-234 for the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, clearing the way for the U.K. to leave the European Union next month.

Friday’s vote was a moment of triumph for Johnson, who won a commanding parliamentary majority in last week’s general election on a promise to end more than three years of political gridlock and lead Britain out of the European Union on Jan. 31.

May this be the final forty days in the great wait.

A Chance to Save Britain

This may be the last chance for the UK to reverse and prevent a cultural and demographic slide of USA proportions. The British People have spoken.

BORIS Johnson is on course for the biggest Tory landslide since Margaret Thatcher tonight – after the exit polls tipped the Tories to win a whopping 368 seats.

Seconds after the polls closed at 10pm a joint poll put the Conservatives on track for a huge majority of 86, with Labour trailing behind on 191.

Boris had damned well better listen. Hard BREXIT. Now. Then, on to making Britain British again. Immediately.

BREXIT by 10/31, he says!

The Mail on Sunday newspaper reported that Johnson said he would find a way to circumvent a recent parliament vote ordering him to delay Brexit rather than take Britain out of the EU without a transition deal to ease the economic shock.

“The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets,” Johnson was quoted as saying. “Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be – and that is the case for this country. We will come out on October 31.”

Okay. Then, on Nov. 1, he can start the emergency repatriations. Deport the Remainers as well, as a showing of good faith. There still might always be an England.

May gives resignation notice:

TEARFUL Theresa May today finally admitted her time was up and quit as Prime Minister insisting: “I’ve done my best”.

The PM was forced to resign after she failed to deliver Brexit and lost the support of her own MPs – but will continue in office as a lame duck until July.

Nigel! Nigel! Nigel!

There would be no need to suffer any more May-related drama.

On another day of high drama in Westminster;

  • Tory kingmaker Sir Graham Brady will tell Theresa May she must name her departure date on Friday or face being forced out by his powerful committee within days.
  • Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn refused to engage with the PM, telling her it would be pointless because “she only has a few days left in the job”.
  • Desperate Tory and Labour chiefs attacked Nigel Farage in a last-ditch bid to stop him trouncing them at the Euro elections, as the nation goes to the polls.
  • Senior ministers demanded meetings with the Prime Minister to tell her NOT to offer MPs a chance to vote on a second Brexit referendum – but she refused to meet them
  • Dozens of Tories – including previously loyal backers of Mrs May – say she has now run out of road and must resign as soon as possible and leave Brexit to her successor
  • The Chief Whip told party bosses she was not planning to stand down last night and instead will hold a crunch showdown with the Tory backbench chief tomorrow – after today’s Euro elections
  • Tory grandees pulled back from changing party rules so the leader can be removed immediately
  • The PM’s DUP allies warned she is leaving Britain at the mercy of the EU

A ruling monarch could simply go ahead and sack May (and Parliament). Then, she could pronounce BREXIT done and over with. A little Spring cleaning and things would be much better in Avalon.

Let It Be a Hard BREXIT

The EU offers its “best deal.” And it may be that. As other nations withdraw in the near future and the EU begins to collapse, the deals will get worse – possibly culminating in: “stay or it’s war.” As is, Boris may be right:

Johnson called on May to “junk” the so-called backstop, which he said risks leaving the U.K. as a “satellite state.” Both the U.K. and EU say they want to avoid the backstop ever being triggered, but so far that hasn’t been enough to reassure the DUP, whose 10 lawmakers keep May in power.

The EU could yet demand the U.K. accept a “special deal on immigration”, Johnson said, seeking to raise doubts around one of the key benefits May says flow from her deal — ending freedom of movement.

The only deal on immigration the UK should accept is a total ban on invasion and the complete repatriation of all existing incompatibles in the Kingdom. Time is running out; the culture reaches a tipping point. It was the demographic trainwreck that drove the original vote in 2016. Failure to deliver will likely result in eventual civil war or slow societal genocide.

Speaking of the Monarch, where is She?!?!

And, who, now, has any faith in May? Or Boris or Corbin or anyone else in the government? The Titanic is already rudderless.

Article 50!

The UK boldly goes where no European country has gone before!

Theresa May will issue an appeal to the country to “come together” as she formally launches the process for the UK to leave the European Union.

Nine months after the divisive Brexit referendum last June, the Prime Minister will officially trigger Article 50 in a letter that will be hand delivered in Brussels.

At the same time, in a statement to MPs in the Commons, she will pledge to get the right deal for everyone in the UK, including EU nationals living in this country.

“We are one great union of people and nations with a proud history and a bright future,” she will say.

“And, now that the decision has been made to leave the EU, it is time to come together.”

Brexit

“Dear EU: Later losers.” Sky News.

There’s still a potential two-years of red tape; the exit process could be draconian. Could be – no one has ever done it before. Whatever it takes, it will be worth it. No Brit can serve London and Brussels.

We could have used an Article 50 in that … what was it called? Constitution… The 1860’s might have been a lot more peaceful.

God Bless England!

I cover a good range of topics here, from how bad government is to how good cigars are. Actually, that is pretty much the blog. Anyway, I touched on some things recently and made some wishy-washy predictions. As usual, they came true, are coming true. It’s obvious:

1. BREXIT

When was it? January? A British Court declared more obnoxious process was necessary, via Parliament, to slow the exiting demanded by voters – reverse “democracy”. BREXIT was never supposed to happen last summer. It did. I said nothing would stop BREXIT. Nothing is stopping BREXIT.

2. I’ve been on Congress and the GOP to fix ObamaCare or else rid us of it. They’re doing something – slow as usual. The CBO just analyzed the GOP replacement/amendment Bill. I’ve seen this reported a number of ways, usually as a scare tactic about people losing coverage. Some will, but it will be because they want to. And they won’t be taxed for it. The CBO concludes prices will come down and normalize within a few years – even as federal deficit spending on the failure decreases. The WSJ reports.

3. NBC News was shocked to discover DHS is illegally searching American citizens at the border and as they reenter the country. Naturally NBC found as poor-Muslims angle to work, though their reported test case was the exception to their demographic presentation (consistency, that). I covered this previously. Nothing new – and not limited to the borders. As I said, I can kind of see the border searches (especially of the questionable). It’s the interior harassment that gets me. But, also as I reported, there are ways around that.

Harassment of the traditional America, another gift of 1965. NBC.

Get it here a week, a month, or five years in advance. Or, wait for the MSM to catch up. he choice is obvious.
