When did the UK become Maduro's Venezuela

No deal off the table! A referendum that removes the leave question! It's leave in name only or stay!

Delay to Brexit.
Continued uncertainty.
Paralysis of the economy.
Unhealthy divisions in the country.

These guys do not deserve to run this once great country!

They are playing the EU tune, and treating the UK people as incompetent stupid people.  They, the EU have huge support from our so called leaders, the sherrif of Nottingham couldn't have done this better. We're becoming Maduro's Venezuela, Suharto's Indonesia, Pinochet's Chile.



Mrs May has said countless times that we will leave March 29th, on TV, at conferences, on the steps of the EU and in front of that formidable bastian of leadership and integrity the no. 10 door!  She has stated no deal is better than a bad deal! Brexit means Brexit and the best of all Strong and Stable!  It's inevitable that Mrs May would be compared to Mrs Thatcher.  Mrs Thatcher famously known for the "lady is not for turning", Mrs May conversley is only for turning, she's turned so many times she must be dizzy.

If we have a delay, we should not have a referendum, we need an election! Move aside allow us to restore democracy to the United Kingdom!

There was a time in history when the security services considered to overthrow a UK government, Harold Wison's. My guess that time is coming again!

EU Burden On SMEs, Science and Non Profit Organisations

Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford Leave vote: 70.0% 

MP: Yvette Cooper (Labour) 

Yvette Cooper voted for Article 50, saying: “Nobody said at any time ‘you know what, I am not going to respect the result afterwards’ – that’s the kind of thing Donald Trump says.”

Burden on SMEs

We frequently hear the protestations from the CBI on how Brexit will affect our businesses etc. As such they are calling for the softest of Brexit's. To put into perspective, these are generally large companies that have quantifiable exports to the EU. They are also companies that can weather the juggernaut of regulations that come our way.

However, those Smaller, medium-sized companies whose markets are outside of Europe, of which their numbers are significant. These companies are burdened by the regulation and the requirement on them to conform.  It is these companies that are in favour of Brexit. This should not be dismissed as irrelevant because it's not! It's a real burden impacting their business and their future and getting worse.  It's important to stress that these companies are not heavily represented within the CBI. We should also remember that John Longworth Director General of the British Chamber of Commerce resigned in order that he could speak out on behalf of the SMEs.

Science and the impact from The Clinical Trial Directive.

Be mindful, the immense burden that the regulations add, whilst they affect adversely the bottom line of many companies. The impact is significant on the public sector, non-profit organizations. As an example;  Professor Angus Dalgleish one of our leading Cancer researchers when interviewed by a journalist, Dominic Lawson he complained of the EUs Clinical trial directive.  This had added to experimentation a tenfold cost.  Of course such costs do not appear in the protestations of our business leaders.

Whilst it is right that our business leaders voice concern, and we should take note. We have to be careful that their gloom does not become a self-fulfilling prophecy. There's also a bigger picture here.

UK exports are not what they seem. The EU will trade.

As usual the day arrives and more ham fisted discussions which affect our lives in the most profound way. The EU and the UK would have a deal by now if we stopped negotiating with ourselves.

If this was a normal negotiation then you would be comfortable that you have your cards, you have all members of your team rooting for a good outcome for your side. Your negotiation is focused only against those that you are negotiating with.  Here we are! We are negotiating with ourselves and then guiding the other party on how to gain the best situation and to know our weaknesses.  Further more we have members of our side guiding the other side.

Let's be clear.

Germany as we do wants/needs to maintain close ties with the U.K and us with them for all the right reasons, security, intelligence, trade etc. They are rightly concern in regard to Trumps America.

The UK has a trade deficit with the EU of £91billion.  Furthermore, the UK exports to the EU have declined over the last 10years.

These are all solid reasons why the EU will continue to trade and continue close ties with the UK.

In regard to the bigger EU picture:

I believe unless there is structural change the EU will have serious issues going forward which will inhibit growth. But worse undermine the very principles on which it exists. The Euro needs to split. It needs to give the southern states greater autonomy to manage their exchange rates and foster growth.  In short give hope to the vast numbers of unemployed youth.

Two events in our history where we were encouraged to stay with a system that was harming us. A bit like cognitive behaviour therapy.

1. In 1931 almost unanimously we were encouraged to stay with the gold standard. That is all but Keynes who encouraged us to leave. In September 1931 we broke with that standard. There were many cries of disaster.  

Immediately we were able to drop interest rates and this ushered in the fastest economic growth in British history.

2. Another event was the joining of the ERM in 1992. Interest rates spiralled upwards. Unemployment rose sharply. On the face of it, it was easy to break the bank, not due to smart thinking, more because of the obvious political obsession of the EU project. The doom sayer predicted higher rates still and even higher unemployment. In reality the opposite was true.

The obsessive focus on the EU project will unwind it. Best we leave whilst we have a chance.

Indulge me the theme has moved to Economics:

1. There are a number of reports that show with no deal the economic boost could be as much as 4% to the UK post Brexit.  Some of these reports have been produced in Whitehall. Others by eminent economists such as Roger Bootle.

2. MPs are failing to back May’s deal, and they should not back it! March 29th will be fine.

3. The one I like the most “One day the house of cards will collapse” Professor Otmar Issing Chief Economist of the ECB and chastened prophet of the Euro project.

His comments encapsulate: For weeks I have written about this. A few days ago the Telegraph carried an article discussing this very point. How the Euro is killing democracy across Europe. It is severely stifling growth to the point of extinguishing the economies of several countries. Destroying hope for Millions of young people!

From 1970 to 1998 Germany's average growth was 2.2%. Post Euro it has averaged 1%. The same period 70 -98 the current account surplus 0.8% of GDP, since 4.6%

The US 1999 onwards 42% growth in GDP, UK 40% Germany only 18%..

Next you start to see that individual Germans have not benefited – Consumer expenditure through this period US 53%, UK 44% - Germany 18%. Whilst the benefits of the Euro have migrated to Germany it has gone to corporate Germany not to the man or women on the street.

German exports are up, there is no mistake but the profits have gone to the employers who have sat on their hands.  If this is not stark enough then look to wages growth Finland up 30%, France up 18% - Germany a modest 14%.
