Well,the UK has a new Prime Minister and all the usual suspects are making all the usual noises
.Just a little over 3 years ago, had Gove not betrayed Johnson's candidature for the leadership then we would have been spared the ReMAYner interregnum,the complete bollox-up of the 2017 General Election and yes,the UK would have left the EU .
The metropolitan,globalist elitist staged EU -funded pantomime however refuses to leave the stage of history and has persisted over these last 3 years to produce ever more absurd mise-en-scenes. An endless stream of tropes and slogans of treachery and betrayal have been injected into the political discourse that followed the EURef2016 triumph for Leave aka Brexit.
It's worth reminding ourselves what depths of hysteria the globalist corporations plumbed in their role as the battering ram for the Remain /Peoples Vote seditionist campaign. On this day 25 July 2018 I posted in fahrenheit451:336 :-
Laugh or cry ? The Times online reports:-
The head of Amazon in the UK has said that there could be “civil unrest” within two weeks if the UK leaves the European Union with no deal. Amazon UK became the first business to issue such a warning. It was given at a meeting on Friday 20 July organised by Dominic Raab, the new Brexit secretary. Doug Gurr, UK manager for the American online giant, told the other guests, who included representatives of Britain’s biggest businesses, that this worst-case outcome formed part of his contingency planning. **************************************************************************************************************************************
The problem with the aforegoing tendentious remarks is, that in common with so many other similar stark warnings these last two years,the Remain campaign simply repeats itself ad nauseam.
Which of course is part of their grand propaganda strategy initiated long before the 23 June EU Referendum ever took place. The seditionist cabal of metropolitan elitist Remoaner EU shills ( hope that covers everything about them ) have been rendered utterly deaf and insensate by their own ideological echo chamber.
Much in the same way that Dr.Josef Goebbels was when asking the assembled Party faithful if they wanted Total Victory -at a stage in WW2 when it was already over,done and dusted bar the shouting.
The neoliberal EU regime requires freedom of movement for surplus labour,without this facility the REC Job Agencies in the UK would be unable to run their lucrative Zero Hours contracts trade which primarily ” employ ” the economically displaced millions of jobless cozening itinerants from rustbelt eastern europe and the balkans who have in effect colonised large swathes of the UK and are eagerly sharing their common european values of stealing other peoples jobs and enjoying the luxury of houses and schools places and health services previously paid for by others.
And to cap the entire week off ,former Anglican Tea Lady of the Year and Remoaner EU Shill-in-Chief ,Theresa May made an official announcement that she would take the lead in the Leave EU negotiations,relegating the role of Brexit Secretary to that of bootblack.
And so it goes….

With a putative Prime Minister ready to push the parliamentary /constitutional button on "Leave " and hordes of his own Tory party MPs ready to help Labour et al push the no-confidence button on him; the interminable " Mexican stand-off" on Brexit continues.
Herewith my original blog posted on July 18 2018 ( fahrenheit451:270 ) at a time when the current on -going Mexican Stand-off was just getting under way.
Rats in a sack.
Brexit might have already been consigned to constitutional oblivion by the metropolitan domiciled globalist ruling elites,but at least their paid-for political actors class are still managing to tear each other to shreds in what is supposed to be a staged re-enactment but is quite entertainingly going terribly wrong.
The under-rehearsed participants are actually believing themselves to be in a real world authentic constitutional political struggle,which of course from the audience /spectators’ point of view they are not,only seeming to be so for the sake of parliamentary verisimilitude.
A series of keenly contested highly disputatious votes was summarised by BBC ONline as:-
By 305 votes to 302 – with 14 Tories rebelling – MPs backed an amendment that prevents the UK from collecting taxes on behalf of the EU, unless the rest of the EU does the same for the UK.
Applying EU tariffs to products destined for the EU is part of Mrs May’s plan to avoid friction at UK borders after Brexit.
Another amendment, to ensure the UK is out of the EU’s VAT regime, was backed by 303 to 300, with a Tory rebellion of 11.
Three Labour MPs voted with the government.
The government won several other votes more comfortably, and the entire bill was then approved by the House of Commons by 318 to 285.
The Conservative/Labour duopoly itself, as entrenched defenders of the archaic FPTP which keeps them eternally as the two major parties,seems to be have been cast into existential doubt during the course of the parliamentary imbroglio of recent days. Leading Conservatives such as Dominic Grieve and Anna Soubry supported by leading Labour EU shills,openly advocate a government of national unity to replace the present ailing May minority regime.
Suffice it to say ” Schadenfreude ” ;at least for now.
Footnote:
And we now know what became of Anna Soubry and her fellow dissidents in the Tory and Labour parties and their abortive non-realignment of British party politics.

WHAT THE MPS VOTED ON
The amendments were “broadly in line” with government policy, which is why the government accepted them.By 305 votes to 302 – with 14 Tories rebelling – MPs backed an amendment that prevents the UK from collecting taxes on behalf of the EU, unless the rest of the EU does the same for the UK.

In the rest of the world it's July 2019 but meanwhile back in Britain we're currently reliving March 29 2019 - the day,which according to the Law as enacted by parliament,said that the UK was to Leave the EU.
And still the global metropolitan elitist pantomime continues unabated.The Tories are about to select one of two barely competent careerist clowns as their next party leader and the UK's Prime Minister.
Their,now soon to be, predecessor gave her valedictory interview in which she confirmed everything that anyone with even half a grasp of Realpolitik already knew.She really is a politically inept,spineless, wheedling caricature of a petty bourgeois waste of space.
And meanwhile the Fenian statelet run from Dublin was coming face to face with its own revelation of a Realpolitik moment.That moment when an insignificant failed nation state realises its own utter insignificance in the larger world of politics and international diplomacy.
Having spent decades kowtowing and generally sucking up to the German / French EU hegemons -allowing Ireland's naively conceived sovereignty to be pimped out by the Berlin -Paris Axis for the sake of Euro fiscal discipline ,having only done so on the understanding of being treated favourably in the future;the 1 euro-shop De Valera Fenians wake up to the ineluctable reality of getting thrown under the proverbial bus of what is the EU -Mrecosur free trade deal.
So much for having acted the willing ( if overly venal posturing martinet whilst doing so) shill for Germany in its calculated strategy of crippling the UK's departure from the EU by creating out of thin air the imbroglio of a " backstop " for a farm track border non-issue bereft of any actual material or other importance other than to Republican tobacco,alcohol and red diesel smugglers.
Poor old misunderstood,somewhat plausibly contrite Theresa of the Lachrymose Countenance ; poor old Ireland and its practitioners of an iron age form of runic alphabet. Schadenfreude!!

History gets written by the winners.And losers tend to get a good kicking.
Ultimately there is no-one who is actually ” righteous ” in any of this; no,not one. But that doesn’t mean we ought not to take sides and be actively committed to a cause.
What it ought to mean is, that irrespective of the outcome of any particular argument and our role in it ,history gets made, out of which altered circumstances newer conditions inexorably evolve and develop and the struggle renews and is renewed by this inimitable dynamic of human society.
But we still like our side,the cause we’re committed to to prevail,we do really want to be the ones on the winning side writing the history of a particular struggle. If that were not so then we’d all be supine conformist automatons and all human society /civilisation would be locked into a totalitarian stasis forever.Which of course is utterly absurd but that’s exactly where our present day ruling elites would like to keep the rest of us.
Having themselves been the main beneficiaries of previous favourable outcomes of revolutionary historical struggles,they,our present day ruling elites,do not want others now to be in their turn be the beneficiaries of this current burgeoning period of historical evolution and development.
Nothing exemplifies this dialectical /historical materialist impasse more graphically than the travails and crises overwhelming the ancien regime of the European Union.Once that tyrannical institution topples,out with it will go political correctness and the entire associated ideological detritus of post-1945 Western dominant ideology that has ransacked and virtually annihilated the great moral and ethical doctrines which once seemed so insuperable but through idleness and sloth failed to be maintained and reinvigorated.
The UK’s intention to Leave the EU, aka Brexit, is perhaps a strategic lynchpin in all of this.it is only “perhaps”,because the political class as servants primarily of the metropolitan ruling elites,are doing their damnedest to emasculate and effectively render impotent whatever Brexit might actually become once implemented in full. The metropolitan elites do not want the brexit that might conceivably energise a broader turmoil that inevitably leads to the removal of the metropolitan elites themselves from the commanding heights of history at this particular juncture.
Recorded history ( is like a swiss cheese in that it’s mainly made up of holes ) comprises in the main missed opportunities,half-taken chances and procrastination trumping daring. Imagine our contemporary world but where the great Reformation of the 1530’s and 40’s succeeded far more than it was allowed to.Or,the English revolution of the 1630’s and 40’s where Levellers and others had held their nerve and had doubled down on their strategy.
Determining Historical materialist outcomes is not some otiose parlour game of 20/20 hindsight.Certain delayed outcomes,say Irish independence, would have been far better to have been dealt with effectively and resolved around 1884 than they eventually were some 30 years afterwards with what were considerably greater and wider ranging egregious consequences that had not been present thirty years earlier..
And so it goes.
We are not, either here in the UK over Brexit nor on the Continent of Europe because of a cataclysmic failure of the EU tyranny heading into a historic tsunami of unimaginable dimensions,not at all,on the contrary we are already in the middle of it.

The new session of the european parliament convened in Strasbourg the other day. And with it,the EU entered the decisive phase of diplomatic/political horse trading to get its new leaders in place.
Ultimately, it is the heavy hitters France and Germany and their mutually respective and fluctuating allies that influence/stage manage /cobble together sufficient votes in the parliament to give their imperial appointees at least some veneer of legitimacy.
That by itself would be enough of an otiose event as to preclude anything else that might cause friction let alone excitement among the parliamentary attendees.But no, it was the UK's Brexit Party MEPs who managed to garner the facile opprobrium and spurious media headlines with their stunt of turning their backs toward the musicians scratching out the " Ode to Joy " -that most ersatz and superficial of all anthems anywhere or as the metropolitan Labour Pravda Guardian put it:-
" Brexit party MEPs turned their backs during the playing of the European anthem at a ceremony to mark the opening of the European parliament.
As a saxophone quartet and opera singer performed Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in the Strasbourg chamber on the first day of the new parliament, the 29 MEPs turned away from the group to face the back wall.
The European parliament’s president, Antonio Tajani, rebuked those MEPs who did not immediately get to their feet. “[It] is a question of respect; it doesn’t mean that you necessarily share the views of the EU. If you listen to the anthem of another country you rise to your feet.”
The most telling thing about that impudent attempt at rebuking the Brexiteers was the Freudian slip, " if you listen to the anthem of another country you rise to your feet". Contrary to the delusional alternate reality shared by,amongst others of a similar ilk,the EU funded seditionist Peoples Vote, the european union is not a country.
Obviously there is that historic legal trompe l'oeil of " eu citizens " which was foisted upon all and sundry by the passage of the 1992 Maastricht treaty and which in due course gave legal residence status to millions of otherwise jobless turnip-chuckers and jobsnatchers from the rustbelts of eastern europe and the Balkans who descended on the UK like a biblical plague of locusts-from which the UK is never ever likely to recover.
That super-sized Mammoth in the room aside, the Brexiteers act of symbolic petulance earned them the epithet,ever the default line of reasoning from the Leave campaign aka Labour/LibDems/Greens of " Nazis" !
Were any additional proof required as to why we shall never Leave the EU,here it is again.
