What
is the difference between "crashing out with no deal" and
managing transition on trade to WTO terms. Think about it! Who and
what is standing in the way of such an orderly exit. The EU's hands
are not clean!
Write off an impartial media:
Preposterously pompous Adam Boulton on Sky News
(every day - see how he is much softer on Remainers) (how is it
elected representatives are labelled Leaver or Remainer when
Journalists are not!)
Sally Bundock and Tim Wetherspoon BBC Business
News Thursday 28th March constantly interrupting and seeking to
prevent TW answering the questions she asked. Emily Maitlis on
Newsnight the same day - same tactic.
Robert Peston interviews with Boris Johnson -
RP virtually saying you are a "numpty" - in some respects
true but it is poor Journalism.
Will Self - conflates what he calls ethnic
nationalism with racism. He produces no evidence. He should read
Eatwell and Goodwin for a much more reasoned and believable analysis
rather than purvey his version of the world in such a superficial,
supercilious, gesture ridden, sloganising way. But then he is only
like many other commentators (they know who they are).
Probably the most important attributes of an
independent, sovereign nation are:
a) its laws are made in that country and its
Supreme Court determines outcomes according to domestic law;
b) it does not accept coercion or restraints in
International Relations whether economic, political or heaven forbid
military but operates on the basis of negotiated reciprocity;
c)
its electorate and its representatives are genuinely inclusive - not
as has been in the past preaching inclusivity whilst practising the
opposite - see Tony Blair and most Conservative governments;
d) the electorate has to have confidence that
it is being supported by its government and that government is not
beholden to business and moneyed interests see Tony Blair and most
Conservative governments.
Have a great weekend!
