Cheerio Old Girl!

Great Britain has been utterly humiliated as a nation by the disgraceful incompetence of Prime Minister Theresa May.

She became only the second female prime minister after David Cameron’s resignation in 2016 when Brexiteers voted to seek independence from the stranglehold of the European Union. 

All of May’s efforts were entangled in one compromise after another.  It was as if she refused to comprehend that her Brexit plans would placate absolutely no one.  Brexit meant Brexit.  Her stubbornness became a debilitating liability and her party let her know enough was enough.

May’s Conservative Party has been accused of being “liars and everything they’ve said is rubbish.”

Exploiting a widespread sense of disillusionment, the Brexit Party has staged a series of upbeat rallies around the UK, pumping out this patriotic message: “We believe in Britain! Our great country deserves better!”  Its sole aim is to finalize Britain’s divorce from the EU.

As a candidate in 2016, President Trump became friendly with Nigel Farage, a prominent Brexit proponent who emerged from Britain’s political far right and now heads the new Brexit Party. After Trump was elected, he suggested that Farage, already a thorn in May’s side, be named as London’s ambassador to Washington — a suggestion May’s government politely rebuffed.

Speculation has swirled for some time that Britain’s intelligence agency, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), helped the Obama Administration spy on the President’s 2016 presidential campaign in what was code-named Operation Crossfire.

“Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson accuses United Kingdom Intelligence of helping Obama Administration Spy on the 2016 Trump Presidential Campaign.” @OANN WOW! It is now just a question of time before the truth comes out, and when it does, it will be a beauty!

England In Turmoil

In June of 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.  Chief among the reasons for leaving were hostility towards immigration, dislike of Brussels bureaucrats, concerns about retaining sovereignty, an anti-elite mood, a feeling of being left behind by globalization and a long history of Euroscepticism.

Sound familiar?  

Many people are equating BREXIT, and what is going on in Great Britain, with what is happening in the U.S. People want their country back!

After the Brits shocked the world, Prime Minister David Cameron resigned soon thereafter.  Theresa May ascended to the office of Prime Minister.  Right out of the chute, May hired Obama lackies to “help” her Conservative Party write a platform to implement Brexit.

She has managed to take only baby steps.  Suspicion of Berlin and Brussels is what brought down Margaret Thatcher 30 years ago.  May (a Remainer) appears to be beholding to the financial sector, trade unions and the Germans instead of delivering what the people voted for.

President Trump could voice support for a “clean break” with Brussels during his visit to the United Kingdom and could also criticize the Chequers Plan which triggered the resignations of David Davis and Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, resigned this past Sunday saying, “Brexit is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt.”

In his letter of resignation, he accused the Prime Minister of “reducing Britain to the status of an EU colony.”

At issue is the Chequers Plan, Theresa May’s “attempt” to strong-arm her Cabinet into backing a “softer” Brexit which would allow the UK to control tariffs and pursue an independent trade policy and continue to pretend it is within the EU customs territory.

The only serious suggestion must be a leadership change. No. 10 may have calculated that the Brexiteers do not have the numbers to win, but the reality of leadership contests is that they can spin out of control. Whatever path is taken, the Chequers proposals need to be overturned. If a further climbdown takes place on migration, as some expect, Brexit would indeed be a mockery and undermine the legitimacy of British democracy.

The British people voted to leave the EU not because they were tired of immigrants stealing their jobs, but because they were tired of European bureaucrats in Brussels, taking orders from Berlin, chipping away at the centuries-old British tradition of self-government.

Angela Merkel: Chancellor Of The Free World Minus The United Kingdom

In 2012, hundreds gathered to protest in central Madrid, waving banners and saying "Merkel Go Home" and "No To A German Europe". One Spanish economist who took part in the protest said: “The German financial mafia is taking Spaniards hostage."

In Athens demonstrators dressed up in Nazi uniforms and gas masks. One Italian newspaper, Il Giornale, published a front-page picture of Merkel under the headline “Fourth Reich”. Banners outside the parliament building in Nicosia read: “Merkel Stole Our Savings.”

The Telegraph noted in 2014 that Germany came to the rescue of its weaker European neighbors begrudgingly and with a set of fairly harsh terms.  Many economists saw those terms—an insistence that the debtor countries cut deficits and spending as well as raise taxes—as directly contributing to widespread job losses and a dramatic slump in standards of living in Europe.

Detractors of Germany said many of the austerity measures imposed were avoidable and have, in turn, created a “German Europe”—one where Berlin rules the roost, and uses its economic might to dictate the rules of the game to all others.

A chorus of European capitals, anxious to avoid clashes their own Eurosceptic citizens, stressed that the Brexit vote should be seen as a wake-up call for a Union that was increasingly losing touch with its people. [emphasis mine]

In a brief televised statement, French President François Hollande said the vote would put Europe to the test: “To move forward, Europe cannot act as before.”

The Financial Times dissected the EU Referendum debacle facing German Chancellor Angela Merkel in this way:

Many EU voters share Britons’ antipathy to the Euro bureaucracy.  Germany must play the central role, given its political weight. 

There is a problem. Ms Merkel has tackled the four recent challenges—the global financial shock, the Greek rescue, the Ukraine conflict and the refugee crisis—by taking the lead and forcing others to follow. 

This has generated intense opposition, for example in southern Europe over German-led austerity and Russian sanctions, and in Eastern Europe over refugees.Ms Merkel has shielded herself with allies. But with the UK leaving, the list of heavyweight partners shrinks. The EU is losing one of its big three states, a country with deep diplomatic and military experience, and a voice for market-oriented deals. 

If Germany now starts giving orders even more than it does already, it will be more vulnerable to charges of hegemony.

Merkel spoke at a press conference today expounding on the highly exalted view the Brussels bureaucrats have of themselves saying, “Citizens of every EU member state have misgivings about the EU.  Now it is the task of the remaining 27 members to convince their voters of the benefits that being part of the EU brings. 

The Chancellor also spoke of maintaining a “close and fair relationship” with the UK after it leaves the Union. But she also warned Britain that it must respect all its commitments to the EU until the day it officially leaves.

Founded in 1993, the European Union can trace its origins to the Schuman Declaration formulated by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman in May 1950.  In the decades that followed, the EU escalated into an unwieldy organization of economic and political power headquartered in Brussels, Belgium with little to no concern for economic freedom, national sovereignty or democratic accountability.  The greedy elites who assumed power cast the economies from Greece to Portugal to France into massive debts, skyrocketing unemployment and dismal economic competitiveness.

Margaret Thatcher condemned the EU as “perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era.”  The Iron Lady was right.  London is no longer English; to wit, the recent election of a Muslim as the mayor of the EU’s largest city.

Demented radical cleric Anjem Choudary, who is facing trial just days from now over allegedly encouraging people to travel to territory controlled by ISIS terrorists, espousing sharia law for Britain and inciting support for the caliphate called for the UK to remain in the EU.

Why would such a sicko prefer that Britain remain in the EU?  He prefers the European Court’s stance on Islamic extremism to that of the British government.  He said, “I think there are certain principles and caveats with EU legislation that should prevent the prosecution of Islamists.” 

In 2013, London stood horrified as two radical Islamic terrorists repeatedly stabbed and decapitated a British soldier in the Woolrich section of London.   They shouted “Allahu Akbar” as they clutched the bloody meat cleaver and knife used in the atrocity declaring, “You and your kids will be next.”

Nigel Farage, MEP for the UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) strongly fought for Britain to get her borders and her sovereignty back from a failed political union that is now a disaster zone.  Farage insisted “the Eurozone crisis was causing human misery on a shocking scale” and was unresponsive to the “many problems in the modern world.”

The air must taste sweeter, this sunny morning…Congratulations on asserting your FREEDOM!

Queen Elizabeth Refuses To Meet With The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer

Next month The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer is set to visit London in a move that is certain to infuriate British lawmakers.  Apparently, he is seeking to “fundamentally transform” Great Britain as he lobbies the UK against leaving the European Union.

June 23rd is the date for a referendum on the country’s membership in the European Union.  In early 2015 the chances of BREXIT—Britain departing from the European Union—seemed remote. Today, largely because of Europe’s migration crisis and the interminable euro mess, the polls have narrowed. Some recent surveys even find a majority of Britons wanting to leave.

Without getting into the weeds, BREXIT is an abbreviation of “British exit”.  It refers to the in-out referendum to withdraw from the EU.  Great Britain has been actively renegotiating its relationship with Europe limiting the rights of immigrants to claim benefits and seize sovereignty from Brussels and return it to London.

Prime Minister David Cameron is channeling the infamous Neville Chamberlain in trying to appease Brussels.  The June referendum will be the first time in 40 years that British voters have had the opportunity to leave the European partnership.

“Why should President Obama tell the UK whether we should be part of a European superstate or a sovereign nation?  He should keep his comments, his views, to himself,” said Peter Bone, a Conservative UK Member of Parliament and supporter of BREXIT.

Ephraim Hardcastle, writing for The Daily Mail, offered this delicious tidbit:

The Queen refuses to come to London to meet President Barack Obama next month.  Instead, accompanied by his security circus, he’ll trundle to Windsor in his bomb-proof, seven-ton limo for lunch. 

He’s due to stand alongside the PM and urge Britain to stay in the EU.  “But he’d be well-advised not to give a pro-EU sermon over lunch after the row about the Queen supporting BREXIT,” says my source.

Why would the Queen put ol’ Jug Ears firmly in his place?  Could it be because he “cheaped out” when he gave her an iPod pre-loaded with photos of him and his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and his 2009 Inaugural Speech?  Oh, and when Hardcastle refers to the president’s “security circus” don’t you just know he’s recalling the laughable moment “The Beast” limousine made the clang heard ‘round the world during a visit to Ireland?

NOTE:  I think we all know where the Queen’s loyalties lie, but Buckingham Palace is in a standoff with The Sun, one of Britain's most powerful newspapers, over a front-page article it published recently headlined, "Queen backs Brexit."
