The European Union held a terribly important self-referential summit conference  the other week,where all sorts of hugely important and weighty matters were discussed and debated and..fudged.

Immigration,the UK leaving the EU negotiations,that kind of thing.All of it terribly important as was pointed out ad nauseam by EU Council President ( not the elected kind ) former Polish Shoe Salesman of the Year Donald Tusk.
Theresa May, genuflecting servile toady & former Anglican Tea Lady of the Year, reinforced the general consensus that space itself would be better utilised were she not in it.

To think that on Saturday June 23,some 100,000 Remoaner seditionist EU shills had flounced down Whitehall in support of the UK continuing its autistic relationship with the EU.Never had so many University lecturers,EU funded scientists,City shysters and practising vegan sodomites been assembled for a mass virtue signalling in public whilst exuding the unmistakable odour of insuperable middle class smugness and pomposity.

The EU leaders,who once upon a time would've managed to parlay the outcome of their summit into something superficially upbeat and reassuring,failed even that cursory test of political acumen.

The renewed conflagration of contending worldviews on how to deal with /manage the migrant /refugee imbroglio that's subsuming the European Union, gives unbounded hope to those forces and movements who are progressing and shall no doubt bring out, the EU Tyranny's eventual destruction.

The Seehofer v. Merkel Bavarian standoff is rapidly becoming the very quintessence of historic schadenfreude.
A Germany broken by ineluctable historic circumstances beyond its control and influence,bodes only well for the world and the UK's brexit in particular.

Happier days are getting nearer!

The lamentable farrago over the UK's impending departure from the EU - aka the brexit negotiations - continues unabated.

The UK domestic Remain campaign/Referendum verdict deniers are currently in the midst of throwing the kitchen sink at Brexit.

Having already deployed the mendacious blackmail demands of the so-called " Divorce settlement " alongside the bogus lamentations and woefully insincere pleading of EU Citizens against the sensitive heartstrings of the May minority regime; the globalist plutocratic denizens of domestic metropolitan elitism and their Controllers in Brussels have now opened up a third front- that of the largely fictitious "problem" surrounding hypothetical difficulties envisaged around the Irish Border post- Brexit.

Why is the failing minority Dublin regime stirring the proverbial merde at this time? The Irish Times lends an insight into the lickspittle grovelling demeanour of the bankrupt,inconsequential grubby little Irish state's pathetic posturing- all as it happens at the behest of their lords and masters - das Deutsche Reich.

German parliament votes to back Irish debt restructuring

Social Democratic Party opposes move which will save exchequer estimated €150m

cting finance minister Peter Altmaier told the German parliament Ireland had fulfilled all conditions of its EU/IMF programme and was part of a rescue “success story” that included Spain and Portugal.

After a heated Bundestag debate, Germany voted yesterday to back Ireland’s request to restructure crisis-era loans and save the exchequer an estimated €150 million.
The request from Dublin turned into a proxy battle between Germany’s two leading parties, which are locked in a growing coalition battle.
Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) backed Ireland’s request, along with the Greens and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), calling Ireland a model crisis country.
But the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) voted against, calling on Dublin to adopt a “fairer tax policy” that prioritised its EU partners over multinationals.
In turn, the SPD’s critical stance saw Bundestag rivals accuse it of “playing politics” over Ireland – and EU rescue policies the party had backed in the past.

Motion

The heated debate ended with disagreement over the show-of-hands vote, prompting a full lobby vote that saw the motion passed by 348 to 283.
Dublin has applied to refinance an IMF loan, as well as two bilateral loans from Denmark and Sweden, using funds borrowed at lower rates from financial markets.
As Ireland has also borrowed €40.2 billion from two EU bailout facilities, all European Union states must agree to waive the right to get early repayment at the same time.
The Bundestag is one of a handful of European parliaments whose permission is required to change Ireland’s crisis-loan terms and allow early repayment. Elsewhere, the decision is made by government.
Acting finance minister Peter Altmaier told the German parliament that Ireland had fulfilled all conditions of its EU/IMF programme and was part of a rescue “success story” that included Spain and Portugal.
Ireland had restructured its banks and welfare system, won back trust of financial markets and was back in growth, he said, proving EU crisis measures had been appropriate.

Poison

Backing Dublin’s request and reducing the Irish debt burden, he said, would increase further market trust in “this small but important country”, and was thus in the interest of Irish and German taxpayers.
“I welcome today that I spoke with the Irish finance minister and he is ready to continue the technical co-operation and oversight with the IMF,” added Mr Altmaier. “This is in the interest of Ireland and will increase credibility in Irish politics.”
SPD parliamentary secretary Carsten Schneider attacked Ireland’s request, given its refusal to collect from Apple €13 billion in tax the European Commission says is outstanding.
“If a liberally minded country relinquishes tax revenues … then, for us in the SPD, our solidarity is at an end,” he said. “Tax dumping cannot be a business model in a social and progressive EU … it is poison for democracy.”
Mr Schneider suggested that Ireland had failed to honour two crisis-era promises to revisit its tax model and had “run the stop sign twice”.
Not everyone in Dr Merkel’s CDU had warm words for Ireland, with MP Hans Michelbach conceding that Ireland was a “tax haven and accessory for tax tricks of transnational concerns”.
“This is not acceptable,” he said. But, turning to Mr Schneider, he added: “You cannot use a mallet against another European country … and mix loan repayments with tax policy.”

 Schadenfreude or what ? the Taigs sold out to the Huns.

Even in the depths of our uttermost despair,the faint rays of hope still flicker..

Several weeks have now passed since Merkel's ruling CDU/CSU regime suffered a significant reversal of fortune at the German Bundestag elections.

That damage was primarily inflicted by the emergence of the AfD who smashed their way into national federal contention with 12% of votes cast and the concomitant losses of the SPD who plummeted to a post-1945 electoral nadir.

All this left Frau Merkel floundering at a disadvantage in a morass of political,factional horse trading that was supposed to lead to the formation of a new and dynamically unstable governing coalition.Which the newly reinvigorated FDP then proceeded to spectacularly torpedo with all the acumen and elan of a U-Boot menacing a hospital ship.

For all the deserved vituperative mockery heaped on hapless,spineless ,creedless May for her doldrumesque clarion calls for a strong and stable government; Merkel careered spectacularly into the same briar patch with all the alacrity of a Panzer blasted off its caterpillar tracks.

Which is all rather fortuitous for the prospects of the Brexit negotiations,assuming of course that May's failed pantomime troupe actually do manage something more vigorous in their approach than a white flag as has been the case thus far.

Still,Merkel sinking and the Teutons floundering do send a welcome shudder of Schadenfreude throughout the spectating multitudes.

Good week, bad week.Just when things are turning out really badly, such as May's travesty in Florence and further hindrances get thrown into the path of Brexit, along comes a glimmer of hope, a scintilla of light in the encroaching darkness.
The Federal Republic of Germany concluded its Bundestag elections the other day and my word, things really have turned out for the better!
Merkel's governing CDU recorded it's lowest share of the Vote since 1949 at one-third of votes cast.Her  heretofore grand-coalition partners,the Social Democrats went even deeper into the electoral mire with an all time low of just one-fifth of votes cast.
The emergent, populist, right-of-centre AfD scored a magnificent tally of just over one-eighth of votes cast.
This remarkable expression of constitutional democratic praxis immediately ignited the contrived outpouring of venom,derision,abuse,slander and defamation that,alas accompanies any worthwhile showing by populist parties anywhere across the continent of europe.
A cursory examination of various nations across western europe, for example France, Holland,the Scandinavian countries, shows an endemic historic decline in the fortunes of mainstream Socialist / Social democratic/Labour parties .
The blight currently assailing the German SPD ( the oldest and most electorally successful of all so-called Socialist/Labour parties ) ,is of singular historic significance. The SPD more than any of its "comradely" sister parties with say the exception of the socialists in Sweden. has been the prominent bulwark of post-1945 social democracy.
Its decline is to be greatly welcomed.One can only anticipate the British Labour party finally meeting its nemesis at the ballot box some time soon.
None of the aforementioned has been acknowledged let alone accepted as even remotely legitimate by the indistinguishable agglomeration of neoliberal,globalist Hydra of parties that support,run and ideologically reinforce the EU Fascist Superstate.
Even the vaguely anti-EU parties of the Left and their extra parliamentary front organisations,have been found to be totally ineffectual and organisationally impotent in opposing the EU.
The British Labour Party was holding its annual conference in Brighton when the results from Germany came in.it was on the same day that their conference was subjected to an anti- brexit protest organised by the Greens, whose slogan for the day was " brexit is racist! ".
History has already passed the both of them by.They just don't know it yet.
Anyone for some Schadenfreude ?
