Brexit: Theresa May Goes Greek!
-Will Parliament Save
the Kingdom?
So, the plucky PM was left to convince the UK public, daily, as the negotiations moved on, that “Brexit means Brexit!”
By: Brett Redmayne-Titley
Regularly presidents, prime ministers, congresspersons and
parliamentarians worldwide negate the democratic will of their nation’s voters
by refusing to support legitimate election results. Strangely, their treasonous
actions continue without serious reprisal or punishment by the voter. This
emboldens them. The reality of votes cast and “democracy” past does not bode well for the people of the United
Kingdom, their future as a nation or their hopeful return to sovereignty once
called, “Brexit.”
While the name has not changed; the definition certainly has.
It has become all too easy for democracy to be turned on its
head and popular nationalist mandates, referenda and elections negated via
instant political hypocrisy by leaders who show their true colours
only after the public vote. So it has been within the two-and-a-half year
unraveling of the UK Brexit referendum of 2016 that saw the subsequent
negotiations now provide the Brexit voter with only three possibilities. All
are a loss for Britain.
One possibility, Brexit, is the result of Prime Minister
Theresa May’s negotiations - the “deal”- and currently exists in name only.
Like the PM herself, the original concept of Brexit may soon lay in the dust of
an upcoming UK Parliament floor vote in exactly the same manner as the failed
attempt by the Greeks barely three years ago. One must remember that Greece
on June 27, 2015 once voted to leave the EU as well and to renegotiate its
EU existence as well in their own “Grexit” referendum. Thanks to their own set
of underhanded and treasonous politicians, this did not go well for Greece.
Looking at the Greek result, and understanding divisive UK Conservative Party
control that exists in the hearts of PMs on both sides of the House of Commons,
this new parliamentary vote is not
looking good for Britain.
The Fleeting Illusion
of Election Night Victory.
Similar to Greece, the current state of Brexit leaves it now
before the parliament – not the voters - as a poor Hobson’s choice. In a week,
this faux-Brexit as it is currently - the spawn of an utter, and possibly
deliberate, failure in the negotiations - will be decided. Here in the UK blame
can be laid at the feet of just one national politician, who, like Greek Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipris, first appeared to their
desperate country dressed in the mantle of “Hope”
and “Change.” Too quickly Tsipris was stripped bare, following Syriza’s staggering 2015 national election victory and
his subsequent tepid and inept attempt to renegotiate with Brussels about its
destructive debt structure and leave the EU. His public disrobing then - like
that of UK Prime Minister Theresa May via her “deal” - would thus reveal the life-long scars of their true
national allegiance gnawed into their backs by the lust of their masters in
Brussels.
On Dec. 11, 2018, the most historic vote in modern UK history
will take place. At stake is Britain. Like Greece, the whispered coercions to
UK Parliament members by the arrogant likes of European
Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker and President of the
European Council Donald Tusk and their EU members have begun. These are the men who have
already beaten back the democratic attempts of Greece and Catalonia while
affecting recent populist socialist movements in national elections in Italy
and in Spain.
The farcical justifications from UK politicians have begun
anew, trying desperately to convince Britons that this failure of negotiations
and political will is actually good for them, their futures and for the UK.
These de rigueur protestations are growing louder day-by-day as the public is
told again and again, “This is the best
we can do.”
Is it?
As must be remembered, David Cameron, a Tory,
called for the national Brexit vote in order, not to free the UK from the
clutches of EU unelected dominance, but instead to further certify and
strengthen the Conservative Party’s ongoing destruction of the UK’s social
services, privatization of national assets,
privatization of Britain’s healthcare system (the NHS), and increased
austerity for UK families. All this, while an increasingly impoverished Britain
saw their parliament approve tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, benefit
reductions for workers, increased retirement age, and more funding for
US/Israeli inspired wars under diktat from Brussels via Washington.
Ironically, like a cluster bomb of white phosphorous over a
Syrian village, Cameron’s Brexit vote blew up spectacularly in his face. Two
decades of ongoing political submission to the EU by the Cons and “new” labour
had them arrogantly misreading the minds of the UK voter.
So on that incredible night, it happened. Prime Minister David Cameron… the Cons… New Labour…The Lib- Dems… and even the UK Labour
Party itself, were shocked to their core when the unthinkable nightmare that
could never happen, did happen. Brexit had
passed by popular vote!
David Cameron has been in hiding ever since.
After Brexit passed, the same set of naïve UK voters assumed,
strangely, that Brexit would be finalized in their national interest as
advertised. This belief had failed to read
Article 50- the provisos for leaving the EU- since, as much as it was
mentioned, it was very rarely linked or referenced by a quotation in any of the
media punditry. However, an article published four days after the night Brexit
passed, “
A Brexit Lesson In Greek: Hopes and Votes Dashed on Parliamentary Floors,”
provided anyone thus reading Article 50,
which is only eight pages long and double-spaced, the info to see clearly that this
never before used EU by-law would be the only route to a UK exit. Further,
Article 50 showed that Brussels would control the outcome of exit negotiations
along with the other twenty-seven member nations
and that effectively Ms May and her Tories would
be playing this game using the EU's ball and rules, while going
one-on-twenty-seven during the negotiations.
In the aftermath of Brexit, the real game began in earnest.
The stakes: bigger than ever.
Forgotten are the hypocritical defections of political
expediency that saw Boris Johnson and then Home Secretary Theresa May who were,
until that very moment, both vociferously and very publicly against the intent
of Brexit. Suddenly they claimed to be pro- Brexit in their quest to sleep in
Cameron's now vacant bed at No. 10 Downing Street. Boris strategically dropped
out to hopefully see, Ms May, fall on her sword - a
bit sooner.
So, the plucky PM was left to convince the UK public, daily,
as the negotiations moved on, that “Brexit
means Brexit!” A UK media that is as pro-EU as their PM chimed in to help
her sell distortions of proffered success at the negotiating table, while the
rise of “old” Labour, directed by Jeremy Corbyn,
exposed her "soft" Brexit
negotiations for the litany of failures that ultimately equaled the "deal”
that was strangely still called “Brexit.”
Too few, however, examined this reality once these political
Chameleons changed their colours just as soon as the
very first results shockingly came in from Manchester in the wee hours of the
morning on that seemingly hopeful night so long ago: June 23, 2016. For thus
would begin a quiet, years-long defection of many more MPs than merely these
two opportunists.
What the British people also failed to realize was that they
and their Brexit victory would also be faced with additional adversaries beyond
the EU members: those from within their own government. From newly appointed PM
May to Boris Johnson, from the Conservative Party to the New Labour sellouts within the Labour
Party and the Friends
of Israel, the quiet internal political movement against Brexit began. As
the House of Lords picked up their phones, too, for very quiet private chats
within House of Commons, their minions in the British press began their work as
well.
The Kingdom’s New
Waterloo?
Two weeks ago, Ms May announced the details
of her very much anticipated “deal.” This was the culmination of her
“tough” negotiating style with the European Union negotiators on Brexit.
The definition of pro-Brexit supporters in Ms May’s Conservative Party has amounted to two possible
choices in result: the “hard Brexit” which completely severs ties with the EU.
This would separate British law from European law on topics ranging from trade
to migration to product regulation. The other strategy, a “soft Brexit,” would maintain some of these ties without a complete
separation from the EU’s common market.
The details that Ms
May released on Wednesday are without a doubt a very soft Brexit- one that pays
no homage to the original vote. This is because the deal has a provision that
would still keep the UK in the EU
Customs Union (the system setting common trade rules for all EU members)
indefinitely. This is an outrageous inclusion and betrayal of a real Brexit by Ms May since this one topic was the most contentious in the
debate during the ongoing negotiations because the Customs Union is the tie to
the EU that the original Brexit vote specifically sought to terminate.
Worse, this deal would have the UK parliament
forfeit its current direct rights to EU law and courts in the advent of
problems within the Customs Union after the deal. However, Britains
are supposed to believe the protestations, now, that the EU will promise to
provide smooth sailing from now on.
The issue of the “Back-stop” has Ireland furious as
well. This is designed to avoid a crisis over Northern Ireland, which is part
of the UK but wants to retain an open border with neighboring EU member
Ireland. Imposing border controls between Ireland and Northern Ireland could
threaten the Good Friday Agreement, the deal that ended serious violence in
Northern Ireland in 1999. Unlike, Ms May, Ireland
does not trust the EU. Due to the Back Stop and the Customs
Union, the EU will be able to force its will on the UK, as France has already
said it will do over fishing rights, but the UK will not be able to cry foul,
because Ms May will have given up the nation's EU
commercial rights of any kind over grievances.
Ms May’s
failure was so obvious that cabinet
defections - new ones - began immediately including Brexit Secretary
Dominic Raab, who said, he cannot “in good conscience" support the deal. His
was followed by Work and Pensions secretary,
Esther McVey, who added, " We have
gone from no deal is better than a bad deal, to any deal is better than no
deal." When, on Thursday, PM May went to Parliament to defend her deal,
she was met by howls of laughter as she attempted to show confidence before the
whole House of Commons when defending her indefensible deal. Next, Tory Jacob
Rees-Mogg, who has grandstanded throughout as an MP from the hard Brexit camp, submitted
a letter of no confidence in
May’s leadership —
which may see her soon join David Cameron in hiding.
As it stands before parliament next Tues., the
choice is a Hard Brexit “No"
vote or “Yes” to Ms
May's excuses for this deal. This choice also amounts to whether she will see
her hand the keys to No. 10 over to the nightmare of Brussels, Jeremy Corby.
Yes or no, both, at this minute, are being sold
as the only two choices, with EU President Junker helping this coercion by
insisting that there will be no new negotiations and “this deal is
the ‘best deal for Britain,” and
that, “This is the only deal possible.
So, if the House (of Commons) says no, we would have no deal.”
Both sides predict gloom and doom for Britain, and here, they may
both be correct. This all the more highlights the failure and the treason of Ms May's deal.
The last option is a new Brexit referendum.
After a successful “No” vote. “The prospects of a second referendum have
advanced considerably,” wrote the ultra-conservative Financial Times’s Robert Shrimsley,
who added. “Parliament will not stomach a
no-deal exit. So the hardliners risk provoking the crisis that kills their
dream, by smoothing the path to a second referendum.” This, of course,
ignores Junker’s threats against further negotiations and the very questionable
outcome from the voters who are tired of elections and this Brexit but will
likely, then, have a new leader in the Commons.
As it stands, only one possible outcome, the “Hard Brexit,” is in keeping with the
spirit of the Brexit that was voted for long ago. But if the fate of Greece is
followed by EU vengeance on the UK in retribution, the Brits will be hit hard,
fast and often. Considering the Tories, not surprisingly, have no plan for
this, the pound will likely dive and prices soar in Venezuela style fashion.
The deal, however, is a clear victory for the EUP and a new referendum as no
guaranteed result except to continue to fracture Britain with yet another
vote. All choices, if these are choices,
are very bad for Britain.
The question that should be most important to all British
citizens, the one that must draw their attention to this Brexit finale, is no
longer: “Brexit: ‘Yes?’ or ‘No?’” The
question must now be:
“How many UK politicians will, a
week from Wednesday, sell their vote, their soul and their country to EU?”
Their vote will answer
this. The British people are in the hands of their politicians; the same
collective UK cadre that has, for the past two decades, routinely beholden the
UK to an unelected EU central body of monetary, military and sovereign control.
What could go wrong?
The Eight Hundred Pound
Corbyn in the Room.
Throughout the negotiations, there has at all times been a
specter looming in the back of the minds of the Brexit negotiators and
particularly in the black souls of Junker and Tusk. Arguably there is a much
bigger reason for the failed Brexit negotiations and the final desperate
measures of Ms May and her ilk to pass their “deal.” This reason, a voice of reason
long discounted like the UK people themselves, now stands larger than ever. One
diminutive little man. He stands for what they do not. This politician is
pro-UK, pro-worker, pro-Labour, pro- NHS, pro-union,
and pro- Palestine. He is also anti-privatization, anti- EU, anti-war,
anti-nuclear war, anti-global warming. Worse, he is a devote socialist and a
Jew…
a Jew who publicly holds Israel accountable for its crimes!
Yes. Behind all that has gone on with destroying Brexit,
there is another nightmare, one that is the Kryptonite that Brussels is
terrified of to its marrow. His name is Jeremy Corbyn.
However, Brussels is not scared of just the man himself nor
his ideals and sincerity to his cause. No. What EU and EUP politicians, those
that support all things Zionist, fear the most is his leadership: Unapologetic, populist, socialist, leadership. That is
rising.
Corbyn is what the United Kingdom once was fifty years ago.
During that too-long forgotten time, the workers and their vote forced
political will in favour of their country and their
families. Politicians feared their vote and Britain slowly reversed the social
degradation that was the legacy of the industrial revolution and the engines of
capitalism and capitalists run amuck.
Corbyn is, and always has been, Old Labour;
not the bastardized form that slowly infected parliament under the moniker of “New” Labour over
the past twenty years. What hucksters like Tony Blair and the Labour Party elite were, in fact, offering as “new” was really just a quasi Conservative Party light platform that slowly morphed
over the years into what the Conservative Party had once been itself under
Thatcher and John Major. This left the British voter with the choices of only
the Tories or the Conservative Party subsets such as the ineffective Lib-Dems,
plus a few non-influential nationalist parties like DUP in Ireland and Plaid Cymru in
Wales.
Hence, election-after-election, voters continued to see their
country gutted by virtue of their own vote due to a lack of true choice or
opposition candidates. The ongoing results were privatization, social service
cuts, and imposed austerity on the UK majority that saw UK poverty levels
skyrocket, as shown by last
week’ scathing UN report. Instead, Britain became a haven for the wealthy
and their massive tax dodging schemes - as shown by the Panama Papers - as
poverty increased under more and more White Hall approved austerity. All pro-EU
factions of all UK parties within the Parliament, however, were universal in
their excuses and false justifications for their ongoing gutting of what remained
of British socialism... election-after-election.
Except one.
Corbyn is real Labour. He is an
unabashed supporter of, and a throwback to, a time when the UK was an economic
powerhouse, but also had enough for everyone - by law! By all accounts and his consistent thirty-five-year track
record as an MP, he is genuine. Minimized by his Labour
colleagues and the UK press during decades of Labour
Party decline, he has now emerged as the voice of reason, a champion of the
worker, formidable in debate with his Tory adversaries and unflappable under
the torrent of daily media and cross-bench White Hall criticism.
Few remember, as they should, that Corbyn, as leader of the Labour Party, has already survived a very contentious
attempt by his own party members and the Friends of Israel to oust him as the
leader. His success against this coup strongly shows that he has very powerful
and connected political interests behind him: those which have spearheaded his
ascent and believe in socialist reforms. They and Corbyn understand the true
state and direction of current Britain; about this Brexit deal and about Ms May's faux negotiations and her treason. They don’t like
any of it.
To the
troika (EU Commission, EU Central Bank and IMF) Corbyn is a much bigger
threat than the failed attempts at sovereignty in Catalonia, Italy, Spain,
Greece or Britain. Corbyn may prove to be - if he becomes PM - real leadership:
leadership worth following. His sincere path to a return to an old-time Labour platform that returns control to the UK worker
rather than elite and the powerful business interests is anathema to the
capitalist forces ruling the EU. His consistent leadership reminds his growing
group of followers, both in Britain and worldwide, of the good old days when
the people did matter to their government and when there was enough for
everyone - by law! He is a very dangerous man; for his is a message, not just
for the UK but one being heard as a rallying cry in many capitalist dominated
countries worldwide.
If Corbyn comes to power, his will- finally- be the first successful attempt at the return to a
socialist Britain; the first non-military defeat for the EU and Capitalist
forces worldwide. If he becomes PM, which seems increasingly likely, Corbyn’s
example will be closely followed by other socialist national leaders in their
own countries- sincerely or not (see:
Bernie Sanders) - where the 1% have all
the wealth, all the services and all the control over an increasingly
impoverished world. Anti-populist forces like the EU have so far globally
stopped all forms of democratic expression including those elections that were
–temporarily – successful, such as Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Honduras, and Ukraine.
So, Brexit and Corbyn must be defeated.
While Brexit might be the unintended spark for a desperate
world to watch glow, it is Corbyn who holds in his palm a very large box of
matches.
The Mathematics of
Treason: Tithing for Politicians.
PM May will not be going quietly. With her Prime
Minister-ship, Brexit, EU control over the UK, Tory Control over parliament,
and certification of the national rise of socialism at stake, her job is to
cajole and lie-again- to an election weary Britain, one that has already
suffered the distortions of the Scottish independence
referendum ( SNP), the ill-fated Brexit referendum, and then a national
election- the one that saw May and her Cons
club cling to power only by buying Irish DUP support for UK 1.5 Billion
pounds. All this in thirty-three months.
The cycle has begun anew.
This
time the stakes could not be higher. Ms May has already shown her desperation by offering bribes
in the form of peerages to PM’s willing to vacate their current public
anti-deal opposition. This week, Downing Street announced that John Hayes, a former MP and Transport
Minister, who proclaims to be a staunch Euro-sceptic, would suddenly become Sir
John in a rare honor. Earlier this week furious
young Tory MPs claimed that now older Euro-sceptics had refused to put in the No Confidence letters against Theresa May
because they were hoping for a peerage of their own Thus, Best
for Britain champion Virendra Sharma said, "It
seems like Downing Street will do anything to get their bad Brexit deal
through."
But it is Prime Minister Theresa May’s words that Britons
should take notice of, particularly two all revealing sentences, that together
show the strange mind and divisive, if not delusional, rational used to pass
this bad deal. Beyond the oft-debunked claim by the PM that, “Brexit is Brexit,” she would now, this week,
have the MPs and the British public believe that:
“This is the best deal we could get,” and, “We have to follow the will of the voter and pass [this] Brexit.”
The arrogance of these two statements is as incongruent as it
is revealing.
Here, Ms. May would actually have the original Brexit voter
believe that she has done such a good job negotiating this deal that her
current Brexit- which it is not – must now be passed by parliament in order to
honor the will of the Brexit voter- which it does not: the same voters that would never have voted for Brexit in the form
she has turned it into. Such is the delusion and arrogance of Ms May.
Ridiculous? Maybe not.
Ms May must rely on getting her votes
this time from parliament, not the people.
She needs 326 votes. Here lies the real threat to Britain.
There are
650 seats in House of Common so 326 is the magic majority. In terms of purported
party loyalty, the Cons sit with 315 seats and an only coalition majority. But Labour’s opposition and 257 seats are fractured at best
between true labour and faux labour
members. The Scottish National Party is third with 35 followed by the Liberal-Democrats
with 9. The remainder of 31 seats is split between nationalist parties like Ian
Pasley’s Irish DUP, (10 seats) which have come out
against the deal publicly, but has already shown it can be bought for the right
price (1.5 Billion pounds), as in the last election of 2016.
The UK public must fear the Cons continued allegiance to
Brussels. Yes, many have expressed outrage and insisted that they will not vote
for this deal. However, with the Cons not having yet been successfully punished
at the polls, it is surely a matter of time before the first defector- after a
very lengthy and public set of excuses and self-serving rationale- joins the
many other existing Tory yes votes. When that happens the floodgates will open
and the defections will pour in for their just rewards to come. So, it is safe
to assume that the Cons numbers will swell in support by the time of next
Wednesday's vote.
While Corbyn tries to hold ranks in order to achieve the
Trifecta of defeating the deal, Ms May's political
future and becoming PM in one blow, there is, however, no chance of party unity
on this vote. Like the Cons, it is just a matter of time and the next few days
before the first public Labour defections and
excuses- likely the same ones- “force”
that slippery slope towards UK sovereignty to get suddenly steeper.
It is not likely that the minor parties will vote for the
deal as they are ultra-nationalist, such as Plaid Cymru,
since a ”yes” vote will see their platforms as utter hypocrisy and therefore
doomed. If PM May and here supporters win, it will be the Conservative Party
that will be convicted of the crime.
Ms May and the EU can start the count
with a firm 90 seats, however. When it comes to UK parliamentary hypocrisy, the
leader by far is the self-proclaimed Friends of Israel who are indeed just
that. While voting for all things Israel and demonizing all reasonable and
factual discussion of Britain’s burgeoning war machine or Israel’s ongoing
genocide in Gaza so, they really hate Corbyn. It is fair to say that most will
do as they are told and sell out Britain to central control and Zionist EU
interests.
At this juncture, with a final parliamentary vote only days
away, it should behoove the British voter to also look more closely at the
failed attempt by Greece to leave the EU and the politicians then, who, in a
matter of weeks, also turned tail on their country to also answer a call from
Brussels. Brexit, as it stands now
before Parliament, is a terrible deal: a
deal that is worse than staying in the EU and a deal that will certainly punish
the UK- as was the final result in Greece- for its attempt at sovereignty and
populist democratic will. For all this, just like in Greece, is anathema to
Brussels and just like in Greece the evil of Brussels does not just stop
resistance; it puts it down and then punishes such indiscretions economically
and brutally afterwards. Such it is today in Greece, as Alex Tsipras, PM in
name only, goes hat in hand selling his countries airports, beaches, islands and infrastructure for pennies on the Euro
merely to service existing loans from Brussels in order to beg for more.
Greece was not a case study in leadership. It was a case
study in political treason. Will it be repeated this coming Tuesday!
Regardless of the eventual total, what should be a very easy
defeat for this treasonous "deal"
being sold as a Brexit fait accomplit, like Greece,
the final tally may well be a disastrous defeat for Britain. It is likely that
all of the UK will be following the final total of the vote. However, the total
they should be counting is that of those MPs that turn on them and their
country in the lead-up to Tuesday. For, if this deal is passed, it is these
faces who must be remembered as the men and women who decided to thumb their
nose at the British people and their country. And this they will surely do
unless public pressure and outrage- which has not shown itself in decades- is
made obvious to them all. Now.
Count Down to Tuesday…
The UK’s
Telegraph reports 100 Tory MPs have now indicated they
will vote the deal down in Parliament. But will they… after the days to come?
After Sunday's EU unanimous vote, Ms
May strangely offered to debate her deal for the first time, with Jeremy
Corbyn. However, at the same time as the whole of Britain pricked-up their ears
at this exciting news, Ms May backed out. Likely
because she knows every one of her excuses will be cannon fodder for the Labour leader- and his rise in power.
The
Express Newspaper polled 3154 British
adults about their
opinion on the latest Brexit developments and no one is happy. Four in ten
(42 per cent) of Britons oppose the deal,
whilst only 19 per cent are in favor of it.
The remaining
39 per cent answered, “don’t know”. Here, the UK media has
done its job via disinformation, thus giving the confidence to those PMs who do
vote for the deal, that all will eventually be forgotten, regardless, by the
next election.
Three of the many events from recent days should tell the UK
voter just how important a real Brexit, one that does extricate Britain from EU
control, really is and illustrate how much Brussels is worried about the
outcome of this vote.
One: EU Parliament passed Theresa May’s deal in 38 minutes.
Nothing spells winning at the negotiating table like
enthusiasm from only one side and this was the message on Sunday. With the last
sticking point being the centuries-long contention between Spain and the UK
regarding Gibraltar- one so explosive that the UK keeps a large military
presence there today- PM
May rolled over quickly on that too, leading Conservative MP, Andrew Bridgen to
say, “It
appears that there is no-one the prime minister will not betray to achieve her
sell-out deal.”
It is safe to that
Junker, Tusk and their twenty-seven EU brethren members understood the UK Prime
Minister’s negotiating style in exactly the same way.
38 minutes? Guess who
won these negotiations?
Two: Italy.
Down south, this past week in Italy the newly elected Italian
government, led by populist Prime Minister,
Giuseppe Conte, and ethno-centrist Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, released their proposed annual national
budget. Within twenty-four hours, the EU, Tusk and Junker stated clearly that
they were not satisfied with Italy’s sovereign decision on how to spend its own
national coffers. The EU demanded that Italy revise the budget to suit their
unelected whims.
Three: Greece.
Britains
should consider this arbitrary bullying of Italy and of the UK. Then
they should consider the sad EU imposed current condition of Greece. Next, they
might dwell on the failed outcomes of previous elections within the nearby EU
nations, and how similar movements were defeated in their nation as well. Last,
they must pay closest of attention to what is actually in the souls of their
own politicians and what they truly support.
If not these examples, then the UK citizens would do well to
look at the state of subjugation, austerity and further poverty in all these
countries and their own: the same countries who also saw, so recently, their
hopes so quickly destroyed- like Brexit-
by the false-flag allegiance of their elected politicians.
Then, Britons can
collectively bend over-like their politicians- and begin to get used to taking
it… themselves!
-The End-
