    Although I spent the better part of my life in the UK, I don't understand any politics - it's all a load of nonsense, in my view - the Big Enders vs the Little Enders (cf Gullivers' Travels).

    On the one hand we seem to have a patriotic/ nationalistic, isolationist group who want to be "free" of the EU, (although many of these same people also maintain "we are all one" & "all is Love") & then on the other hand, we have the EU supporters, who want a united Europe?

    I can only say, along with Manuel of Fawlty Towers, "I don't know, soy de Barcelona. . . !"(actually Valladolid, but who cares?

    David Cameron has resigned as a Remainer unable to implement a Leave agenda. Yesterday I suggested that Boris Johnson might not last long doing that either, even though he headed the Leave campaign. This Guardian article indicates how this might unfold. Basically, Johnson sowed a wind and reaped a whirlwind. The disagreement with Cameron was merely a ploy to have all bases covered that backfired, leading to a killer ‘pyrrhic victory’.

    In that case, Johnson is no more the man for the job than Cameron; which makes sense: how is an elitist ever going to implement the popular decision? This is why I suggested Corbyn. Corbyn’s stance is diametrically opposed: he too was ostensibly on the wrong side of the argument, but his quiet campaign was likely a sincere reflection of genuine indecision as to the better way to achieve EU reform: from within or without. This is the issue that has not been resolved: all that has happened is that a fork in the road has been passed, for better or worse. (Actually, it is like we are taking both paths: notice how the centripetal force of union is balanced by the centrifugal force of increasing nationalism; Scotland wants both independence and the EU [correction: Europe], and so probably do Catalonia, Corsica, Brittany, Ireland, Wales, northern England etc. etc.)

    So Jeremy Corbyn can easily implement Brexit simply by applying the grassroots decision of his base. I don’t have a ready antonym for a pyrrhic victory, but it seems to me that Corbyn has won this debate with minimum effort. How this works is rather counter-intuitive, but here goes. It is indisputable that power has been transferred from e.g. Westminster to Brussels – whether to elected officials or to Eurocrats (European bureaucrats) is beside the point. From the standpoint of the nation, it means loss of sovereignty (again not the issue here). The issue here is that from the standpoint of the national politician, it means loss of power. Who would want to go through the motions of legislating in London only to be overridden by Brussels all the time? This means that Brexit ought to be the default position for any MP. After all, when a vote is taken on MPs getting a pay rise, the Ayes have it every time; they know how to look after themselves. Hence a prime minister campaigning to Remain with the energy that Cameron put into it was either shooting himself in the foot or hypocritically pretending to. He was pretending to be happy at being something of a lame duck. So he had to have a Johnson figure taking the intuitively correct line.

    Corbyn’s nuanced stance on the other hand does something rather different. He doubtless thinks remaining in the EU is the preferable way, but defers to the electorate to make the choice they are being asked to make. This is like saying Yes, MPs do need extra pay, if only because hyperrich immigrants have made central London pretty unaffordable, but MPs are not the best people to make that award. Accepting Brexit without having openly campaigned in favour is like accepting a power/pay rise from the source of that power/pay, the sovereign/taxpaying people.

    Summarizing, you have Conservatives on the losing side whether they voted to Remain or to Leave. To the extent that they wish to remain in the EU, that means that they are not their own men, they are happily subservient to whoever is giving them their orders. On the other hand, regardless of his recommendation, the Labour leader finds himself on the winning side with a mandate to exercise more power. Sure, he is in the same position as the others, not his own man, and happily subservient to whoever is giving him his orders. What changes everything though is where the orders are coming from: not from the elite above but from the huge majority below.

    In other words, asking a sovereign people the question of who is in charge could really only elicit one response: We are! It was a fatal mistake for a top-down organization to ask a bottom-up question with every vote counting. Like waking the so-called ‘sheeple’... more like waving a red flag at a bull.

    There is talk, as ever, that this too was planned. There is no way this was planned: that is the trap whereby in the very act of taking back your power you... give it away again. How did it happen? Hypocrisy, political correctness, respectability and left-brain thinking have reached such a pitch that none of the organizers expected the honest gut reaction of 34 million voters.

    ‘The EU and NATO are evil institutions. These two institutions are mechanisms created by
    Washington in order to destroy the sovereignty of European peoples. These two institutions
    give Washington control over the Western world and serve both as cover and enabler of
    Washington’s aggression. Without the EU and NATO, Washington could not force Europe
    and the UK into conflict with Russia, and Washington could not have destroyed seven Muslim
    countries in 15 years without being isolated as a hated war criminal government, no member
    of whom could have travelled abroad without being arrested and put on trial.

    Clearly, the presstitute media lied about the polls in order to discourage the leave vote. But it did not work.’

    The Campaign To Undermine The Vote — Guest Column by Richie Allen

    The Campaign To Undermind The Vote — Guest Column by Richie Allen

    The Campaign To Undermind The Vote
    By Richie Allen, Radio Presenter, Manchester.

    It’s been an amazing 24 hours, it really has. When the polls closed across the UK at
    10PM last night, I was deflated. A YouGov poll suggested that Vote Remain would
    carry the day by a margin of two to three points. Even UKIP’s Nigel Farage
    conceded remain was likely to win. Boris Johnson, speaking to commuters on the
    tube, as he made his way home, appeared despondent and pessimistic.

    Nobody could have guessed that less than 24 hours later, the British political
    landscape would have changed utterly and Prime Minister David Cameron would
    resign on live television, having lost the referendum he called, only four months
    ago. Leave carried the day, winning by a four point margin. The British people have
    spoken. Well, the British people have screamed actually.

    ‘Cameron said in his farewell address, that is important that the will of the people
    be accepted and that the British government should move quickly. He said that
    article 50 of The Lisbon treaty, should be triggered ASAP.

    That sounded good. Cameron had said while campaigning, that in the event Vote
    Remain lost, there would be no delay in informing Brussels of the UK’s intention to
    leave and to begin a period of negotiation over the UK’s future relationship with the
    union. That’s what he said then and that’s what he said today.

    But I am worried. This afternoon, former mayor of London Boris Johnson and
    current justice secretary Michael Gove, the leading lights in the Vote Leave team,
    said there was no rush to invoke article 50. “There is no need for haste,” Johnson
    said. “As the Prime Minister has just said, nothing will change over the short term
    except that work will have to begin on how to give effect to the will of the people
    and to extricate this country from the supranational system.”’

    Over 850,000 sign petition calling for UK to hold 2nd referendum about leaving EU


    Published time: 24 Jun, 2016 14:38

    Edited time: 25 Jun, 2016 08:26

    The prospect of being outside of the European Union is too much for some of the 16
    million UK residents who wanted their country to ‘remain’. They have set up a
    parliamentary petition calling for a second referendum, which crashed due to its
    popularity.

    Despite being set up hours after the result, the petition has already reached its goal
    of over 100,000 signatures. This means that it must be considered for debate
    within parliament within a year.

    The petition has been signed by more than 525,000 Brits. Traffic to the site was so
    intense that it crashed temporarily.’

    Of course and they should grant the British public decent time for consideration and present them with the status quod - facts and economic rundown of what the 'leave' and 'remain' options mean and offer .

    It's not a small decision and many people are basing their current opinions on 'good faith'.


    The EU commissioners rhetorics on 'leave fast' is very stupid in my opinion , disrespectful , that should not be allowed to happen .
    This was just a referendum ( as Herve said ) , it may mean leaving the EU or not but does not represent the final decision.

    We've already had all that, months and months of it on TV, in newspapers, magazines, online, endless ad campaigns and the like. It's done and dusted.

    With due respect, the nation has made its decision, and now it should stick. It is the final decision. It does mean leaving the EU. The vote has been cast, and counted. Now it must be honoured. That is democracy. Anything else (a delay, a reversal, a second referendum) would imply the complete opposite of democracy - which sums up the EU, and is why the majority of the population chose to leave in the first place.

    I'll tell you now, any attempt to fudge this and put through another referendum would, I fear, be disastrous. It will generate all sorts of upheaval and unrest - the sort we haven't seen in this country since the poll tax riots which I posted about here.

    On another hand, as Jon Rappoport wrote :

    Quote Coda: warning: the BBC is reporting that the British Parliament must ratify the referendum result. And the UK withdrawal from the EU will take place “within two years.” It’s a withdrawal negotiated between the British government and the EU. So various conditions and side-deals could be slipped into the equation.

    Default Re: The UK Brexit vote to leave the EU

    Junckers, the head of the Euro group, basically a German currency basket system held by Germany, wants the UK out and in the streets, beaten down, as an example to others who might decide to leave.

    He wants the UK shown to the rest as being a body in the streets, beaten before it dies, as a warning, to curtail the inevitable 'over time' desire of the rest to either leave or re-negotiate the EU system.

    He and those who created the Euro control matrix, very quickly, as quickly as possible....require a sad and beaten scary body, to intimidate the rest of them with.

    This required him to ask the UK to leave quickly.

    Which he has done.

    Timing is everything for Junckers and the EU they hold captive and hostage.

    What will happen, over time, is the UK will recover and as time goes by, recover even more quickly, and be better off than they were inside of the EU system.

    Exactly like what happens to Iceland, which is far better off than they were before. Iceland has fully recovered in a record short time, as they were no longer under the thumb of fascist tendencies arsing out of monetary and economic manipulation by a small parasitical elite.

    Parasites cannot allow recovery and health to be seen by their hosts via witnessing recovery of prior infected parties... it cannot be allowed to be seen... by hosts who are still infected by parasites. those hosts will attempt their own freedom.

    There are deeper games than what I'm speaking on, though.

    The idea that Germany finally got their WWII message through... and this time via economics, not physical war.

    and the American banking system who financed them in the WWII period are still there, via the mechanism of NATO,and the same game as before is playing out. This is due to the USA putting the same people who were in charge of Germany during WWII, back into controlling Germany, immediately after the war. Seriously, no joke whatsoever. Look it up.

    Which is: Make sure a German controlled Europe never gets teamed up with Russia, which would be an economic and manufacturing powerhouse that makes the USA's systems and connections look like a joke..

    While the USA deep state, plays the EU and Germany against Russia...missile sites, trying provoke a grand European conflict, AGAIN...., with all that influx of people and refugees, and much more.

    Keiser Report: Your Special Brexit Coctail



    Published on 25 Jun 2016

    Every week Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert look at all the scandal behind the financial news headlines.
    In this episode of the Keiser Report from New York City, Max and Stacy are joined by Mitch Feierstein
    of PlanetPonzi.com in order to dissect the economic, monetary and financial consequences of the ‘shocking’
    Brexit vote - Britain votes to leave the European Union. The Keiser Report team look closer at the market
    sell off and ask whether or not it is part of a wider market weakness already set in motion months ago and
    then examine the role of the media, much as in the case of the rise of Donald Trump, in simply failing to
    understand the ‘disposable’ voters left behind by globalisation. Mitch shows a chart proving that the biggest
    pound sterling sell off was actually in 2008 and the currency has never really recovered since then. And,
    finally, they look at the opportunities presented by panic selling.

    listening to the BBC news just now the UK government seems in no rush trigger
    article 50 as Cameron said. Which means several months , until a new conservative
    leader is chosen who would take over the prime minister role and Brexit talks.

    Then there is the question of whether this will trigger a general election ?
    in theory the current government has 4 years to go. Of course this
    depends how the other EU states feel about the situation. Initially President
    Junckers wanted it to start immediately , but other leaders like Merkel
    seems more conciliatory , still early days.

    I don't know if anything will come of this ? but it would be interesting if over
    17,410,742 million people signed it....LOL




    EU referendum petition signed by more than 2.5m

    1 hour ago
    From the section EU Referendum


    People gathered to protest outside the Houses of Parliament following the leave result

    More than 2.5 million people have signed a petition calling for a second EU referendum, after the vote to leave.

    It has more signatures than any other on the parliamentary website and as it has passed 100,000, Parliament
    will consider it for a debate.

    The UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48% in Thursday's referendum but the majority of voters in London,
    Scotland and Northern Ireland backed Remain.

    David Cameron has previously said there will be no second referendum.

    On Friday he said he would stand down as prime minister by October following the leave result.

    Brexit Referendum Is Non-Binding. UK Parliament Not Voters has Final Say
    [...]
    All the fuss and bother about Brexit largely ignores its non-binding status – parliament, not voters decid[es] if Britain stays or leaves the EU, the latter extremely unlikely.
    [...]
    Leaving would require Prime Minister David Cameron invoking Article 50, unlikely given his vocal opposition to Brexit.
    [...]
    [...]
    Don't worry about that that's just scaremongering. The will of the majority will be adhered to they've said it themselves. If they didn't you would have anarchy here on a large scale. The whole edifice would crumble beside the actual establishment have got the result they wanted why would they change it.

    perhaps the real agenda here IS division, seems to have been the effect, add to that a well timed financial crash ...
