Thus spake Guardian Online  :

At the stroke of 11 p.m. on 31 January (midnight in Brussels), the UK ceases to be a member of the EU. The divorce is sealed. The only way back is an application to rejoin.

The UK enters an 11-month transition period to allow time to negotiate a new relationship. That means staying in the EU single market, its customs union and paying into its budget.
 A more significant moment could be 1 January 2021, the UK’s first day outside EU rules. Under the Brexit withdrawal agreement, that day could be delayed until 2022 or 2023, but Johnson has ruled out any extension of the transition period.

Postscript:

17.4 million British Voters altered the course of History on June 23 2016.

Three and a  half years later,after the most virulently egregious political campaigning seen in Europe post-1945,the democratically expressed Will of the British electorate to Leave the EU shall come to pass.

After all the vituperative lies,slander and calumny heaped upon those who Voted Leave; after all the insidious,politicised  interference and legalistic chicanery from a plethora of metropolitan City shysters via the EU/Soros funded stalking horse Gina Miller's challenge to Article 50 and the Judges of the Supreme Court itself;to say nothing of the debauched and deranged machinations of a parliament in terminal chaos and confusion accentuated by the anti-brexit Premier May's imbecilic party political miscalculations,after ALL of that..

The British people have won,Brexit has triumphed,History has been altered.

Hallelujah! and Amen!

I tweeted that Davos 2020 was where the harbingers of the Antichrist are meeting ; or as more sober conformist sites would have it :-

The World Economic Forum (WEF), based in Geneva is an NGO, founded in 1971. The WEF's mission is cited as "committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas".It is a membership-based organization, and membership is made up of the world's largest corporations.

The WEF hosts an annual meeting at the end of January in Davos, a mountain resort in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 3,000 business leaders, international political leaders, economists, celebrities and journalists for up to five days to discuss global issues, across 500 public and private sessions.

Soros funded media sensation Saint Greta The Afflicted of Thunberg is there - the show pony nonpareil of the Climate Emergency eco-millenarian cultists.Clearly a time set aside for the corporate MSM and even oppositional media's suspension of disbelief -

Suspension of disbelief, sometimes called willing suspension of disbelief, is an intentional avoidance of critical thinking or logic in examining something surreal, such as a work of speculative fiction, in order to believe it for the sake of enjoyment.

Contemporaneous with the convocaton of this capitalist coven are the ultimately inconsequential and absurdist to-ings and fro-ings of the House of Windsor and the on-going leadership election hustings of the obsolescent Britsh Labour Party.

Which of the aforementioned two has done the least to advance the cause of the industrial proletariat is,of course,open to debate.

My feelings toward the current Labour Party leadership farrago are the same as those I have toward the European Union.

I hate,loathe and despise the European Union, ditto the Labour Party, and all that it stands for and does. 

Keir Smarmer ,Rebecca Long Tall Sally,Clueless,Thornbush,Nando’s and Jessflips.

Good luck with those;the rest of the lifeboats have got even bigger holes in them.

I read journalist and commentator Peter Hitchens’ touching commentary in the Mail on Sunday making a rather compassionate case for the Labour Party somehow to be revived and restored somehow along the lines of what it once was perceived to be.

Well bollox to all that .Labour and its  “sister ” parties all across the continent of Europe,including the German SPD, have for quite some years now been undergoing a kind of existential entropy. It’s History’s way of telling political ideologies,movements and parties that the Cosmos has moved on.

Strangely enough when the post WW2 political order across Europe underwent its sea change around 1989, several of the ruling Communist Parties’ politburos and central committees actually consciously denounced themselves and voted themselves out of existence.They were my kind of Red.

Brexit happens in just over a fortnight’s time ,the UK is up and finally gone on 31 January.Which is a blessed relief,given that the EU /Soros funded  campaign and organisation of metropolitan elitist led antidemocratic treasonable sedition had all but seemingly scuppered the EURef2016 verdict.

And it was Labour that led Remoan  with interminable hectoring,swaggering wannbe demagogues such as Tottenham’s pre-eminent socialst gobshite David Lammy brazenly seeking to incite a violent mob to overthrow the government within days of the EUREf2016.

There you go Labour and all who stand with you..jog on.

This is Brexit apotheosis ; this is epic Schadenfreude!  For which I have not waited in vain.

We do indeed live in interesting times.

And that's cold bloody comfort for the 99.999% of human society who are at best mere spectators of the events unfolding in the Middle Eastern imbroglio aka Iran /Iraq /Syria.

Having brazenly violated recognised tenets of International Law as well as long held diplomatic norms and conventions, POTUS Trump as Commander-in-Chief threatened in the most egregiously graphic terms to annihilate Iranian cultural sites should the government in Tehran consider some sort of retaliatory action against the US for its assassination of General Soleimani.

Even the most reliably docile and compliant lickspittle NATO lackeys of the US were moved to point out that Trump's apocalyptic threat,if enacted,would constitute a war crime.

Trump and his coterie of war-mongering Neocon hawks -Pompeo et al blithely acknowledged this a couple of days later and muttered something about of course the'll be obeying international law on this matter.

Meanwhile, elements within the Iranian leadership ordered the firing of some ballistic missiles at targets inside Iraq being used as airbases for US led coalition forces.

Trump's tweeted response to this Iranian violation of International Law etc. was "All is Well"...

The UK government's posture on any of this is utterly and entirely superfluous and irrelevant and has no bearing on the situation.

Bluff,bluster and a vainglorious recapitulation that Britain used to be something 100 years ago are simply the ill rehearsed soliloquy repeated by idiots; full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.

There is no need for a disquisition on this matter.Brevity will suffice.

On the third day of the beginning of a new decade,POTUS Donald Trump ordered the assassination of Iran's leading military Commander General Soleimani. The drone strike took place at Baghdad International airport in Iraq.

You could argue that several ,what are considered inviolable,tenets of International Law were violated.

One head of state ordering the killing of a prominent general of another state whilst they are not at war with one another, on the territory of a third state is indisputably gangsterism.

Then again, the conservative Republican neocon faction and their liberal Democrat overseas interventionist counterparts in Washington DC are the very bedrock of US imperialist foreign and military policies.They are both the authors of chaos and the harbingers of cataclysm.

The Rubicon has been crossed.

The only scenario left to ponder is,when it will be deemed expedient to eliminate a Chinese or Russian general in such a similar fashion.
