What can one say? The result of the election called by that liar BoJo and his rabid party has been given an astounding decision which was driven by the fact that many labour supporters of previous strong labour held areas of the country switching to the Cons. That the election was, by the Cons, wholly pushed on the meme of “getting Brexit done” in which their manifesto offered very little in the way of a substantiated promising future, other than some hype of illusiveness after a ‘deal’  is accomplished, seemed not to matter. How can people of an areas that has been so badly served over the past and in recent years be taken in so convincingly, raises a question just what do these poor people now expect, immigration solved, more jobs, more investment into these areas, more wealth, spending cuts reversed, happy days, no cost to them but they will have their Brexit etc. etc.?

At a time when the Labour party should have cleaned out the Cons with the desperate state of the country re- “austerity” caused by the Cons, the Labour party were not smart enough to realise that they could not be duplicitous over Brexit and were being too radical in their manifesto offering; much of it was worthwhile and needed but the divisions within the party and choosing the wrong leader, killed them from an early date. Without doubt the media played a part in his and Labours downfall in being lenient with the Cons presentations, not really challenging the validity of their stance and as usual the right wing red tops papers and Jewish anti Semites went all out to nail Corbyn on his past ‘misdemeanour's’.

Well we are where we are until we are not and that will only happen when the implication of the cost of delivering the Brexit dream comes to hit. That there will be a cost one has no doubt, everything being suggested by the Cons and Labour was to a great extent predicated on the conclusion of Brexit and gaining a survivable economic outcome funded by affordable debt & deficit, which now is anyone guess if its achievable or how long that will be before the markets take fright.

So looking at ones crystal ball, which looks distinctly murky and fighting off the appalling apprehension that seems to confirm the slow deterioration in the level of intelligence that passes for an electorate; what is the worst pessimistic outcome one can fall into or how to avoid it? For starters the Scottish vote, being thus far dragged out of Europe, will move faster and more vitriolic for independence. With the BoJo majority the Cons hold the cards to deny a Scottish vote but if too little largesse is laid onto Scotland, one could expect a great deal of anger to ensue.

The N. Ireland DUP are effectively now stymied, they have lost their voting clout and with the potential of a border as agreed by BoJo, which if the EU play hard with the current ‘deal’, (as they should) it will become an incident pit to unification for Ireland and one can expect trouble to arise once more.

Wales and England will become bit players in the trade off game with the EU holding all the cards and will outpace anything that BoJo thinks he can do, effectively falling into beggaring for trade deals .

For maybe a year the markets will have a bit of lift but once the terms of a trade deal is clarified (probable unfavourably) businesses will put in place the contingency plans to move. There is likely to be job losses and the financial sectors (London) will start to be hurt (pass- porting is targeted). It is certain that substantial global trade deals will not be on offer and all will in any case come with immigration accords. 

Debt and Deficit will raise fast, the pound will fall in value to being devalued, interest rate will rise to bring in footloose cash, consumer spending will wither away, unemployment will rise, imports will ramp up and exports will be irrelevantly none existent. And of course the cost of all consumables will increase and stealth taxes will have to rise. In this mix there is also the potential for inter-nation conflict. Trade disagreements have led to fighting and the UK is not in any financial position or power situation to win.

So a bleak outlook, the Brexit cuckoo clock is ticking to a show-time unknown. And for the Remainers the stage is about to be recast for the future built on what is to follow from now on so “nothing is settled until everything is settled”, right. But what if BoJo turns out to be a Cons chameleon, able to change into something he has never been; honest, principled, knowledgeable, trustworthy, with socialistic interventionism, and is able to grasp the dangerous fragmentised reality that he has helped create, to the extent that he stamps down on the Brexit 5^th element of the CDUP, the ERG and offers up a workable deal similar to the early days of belonging to the EEC, a soft Brexit? And he might also see the need to

re-engineer the Cons to a party that will invest in the areas of the “left behinds” other than pandering to the aspiring affluent of the home counties, the economic bubble of London and the south east /west, that soulless bigoted elements of the Tory Cons not known for their concern of the disfranchised. So rather than just spout platitudes as has been the case particularly with the Cons historically with thatcher, blair (Labour) and Maybot thus far, he may be able to rejoin the divided nation. Now that will be a surprise!

Given that state of the economy, which despite the delusional hype of being ‘all’s well’ to spin a confidence trick on believers, the overall economy is in a serious triage; will it be placed into intensive care to recover or become DOA buried by Brexit in the intervening five years?

See, Power sans Personal Consequences. July 2019   

Casting of Stones.

On 25.11.19 in the Times paper, one of the many that has never really had much idea about providing a fair balanced representation of facts with anything political that identifies with social progression especially when it is offered by a Labour Party; has seen fit to have the chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis leader of 62 orthodox synagogues in the UK, pontificate his opinions with the intent to be as vitriolic as possible aimed at one person and what that person represents with their radical offering in for a economic and sociological equitable future that is a challenged to the established order of financial power. Views expressed so far by Mirvis, with his narrow special privileged experience, were outrageous and offensive which did effectively (one might suggested) elaborate a stance on his own bigotry. This extraordinary unwarranted singularly biased outburst in the middle of a crucial election period for the UK, was constructed with a clear intention to influence any Jewish support that traditionally backed The Labour Party, calling on them to ditch any inclination to continue such support for the whole Labour Party movement and in particular Jeremy Corbyn on the basis that the Party and him were contagiously anti-Semitic and unsuitable to be in power or form a progressive government. It was an assembled  deliberate damaging written artifice, designed to be as toxic as it could be which also chimed well with the Times position that gives long standing supportive spread to the Conservative Democratic Unionist Party. It seems clear from his comments that he displayed a calculated sectarian partisan approach and one has to wonder, given that what he intimated at is not new, just why vent off now and what is actually behind his venomous missive? (1 extract)

That Mirvis has a constructed view on the Labour Party over the slow handling of a few individuals that have an unfavourable opinion on elements (?) of Judaism absolutely does not mean that there is a contagious anti Semitic presence within the Labour Party. In any organisation with a large membership there will be occasional outburst on contentious issues, by some, that is not acceptable, that fall inside what may be deemed expressions of unwarranted and irrational prejudices or castigating fearful opinions of intent. By their very nature and content such outburst can stand out and say more about the person giving vent to the offensive opinion than the ability of the comment to do severe harm, assuming it is not an expressed attitude that wants to promote actual or intimidation force against someone or body thereof.

Mirvis as a leader represent an orthodox sect of jews, of which there are a few like Hasidism, which is an extreme practicing faction of the jewish rabbinic religious following people and is probably unrepresentative in any great numerical terms of the whole Jewish religious following, so one can be cautious about the actual influence he has overall. Never the less his preposterous proffered stance was designed to inject repulsive interference into the tortuous proceeding that mark the current election phase with him playing on the dog whistle sound of anti Semitism that causes all to scuttle away from any adhering association to it, in mindless panic.

In some way, adding to the truthfulness of fake news, it would seem that the intercession by Mirvis may have been propagated by the aggressive London based Israeli PR machinery operating with the direct support of the Israeli government that continually monitors all news and influential individuals to squash any negative aspects that undermine the acquired position of the Israeli state. It is abundantly obvious just what his comments were about and it had little to do with the pretence of anti semitism heaped personally upon Corbyn et al. Bearing in mind that Semites are all of the Arab nations with the extraction of which, being jewish, is just an element.  This Semite definition also includes Palestinians and with them being prisoners of the Israel state, Israel is very sensitive to the accusation of also being anti-Semitic itself. This is demonstrated with the ‘open prison’ incarceration of Palestinian and the theft and illegal occupation of land with its political ethnic cleansing, oppressive hostility, property destruction, state murder, ideological indoctrination and corruption of truth

.

One suggests that this maligned state interference from Israel (just like the BoJo hidden Russian interference report) is behind this dog whistle being blown. This more than anything else is the reason why there is constant barrage about anti Semitism, raised at any opportune moment on any expressed or tendentious script that can be correlated into anti Semitism to stop any discussion or analysis by anyone, on Israeli jewish actions supported by an extremist sect that demand their “god given right to exist” in perpetuity against all opposition or criticisms of state actions no matter what. It is no secret that Corbyn has been obliquely disparaging about Israeli actions and its treatment regarding Palestine and in having some sympathy with the Palestinians (Semite) people’s plight; this is not a definitive indication of anti Semitism but by expansion and being critical about Israel it is taken and smothered with accusations of anti Semitisms.

One could draw an outlandish simile from the above, pulling on a biblical yarn that goes like this:

In the bible according to John chapter 8, verses 3–7 in order to lay a trap for Jesus Christ, the Pharisees brought a woman accused of the act of adultery to JC who was asked ‘should they stone the woman as is according to Moses law’? In this the Pharisees were attempting to draw JC into speaking to the law or going against it, in public, thereby hoping to have something to accuse JC of religious and unlawful impropriety of some description perhaps conflicting against his own views. They would from that act gain Roman support to take action against him to carry out their dirty work. The Pharisees where collaborators with the Romans and wanted to remain in cahoots with them and wished to publicly demonstrate their own authority but were reluctant to act directly against him.  JC was a growing problem for them as they were incensed with JC ‘teachings’, action and the revolutionary new ideas. Ideas which he offered that threatened to sweep away the restrictive Old Testament practices that formed the religious sect’s foundation and JC preaching’s were a challenged to the high orthodoxy of the sects and controlling influences. Recognising the entrapment, JC ignored their torments initially, bent to write in the sand and:-  ‘So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her’.

It is interesting that Mirvis has cast a number of simile stones at Corbyn, whom in many ways is exposing views not dissimilar to the perspective he (like JC?) takes on wealth, power, inequality and controlling influences. Yet by Mirvis’s own action one cannot find anything that he has equally thrown at the leader of the Conservative Democratic Unionist Party of an excoriating derogatory nature. A party led (in ones opinion) by the accused Liar, Adultery, Fabricator, Dissembler and wholly Untrustworthy BoJo; nor was there any criticism of the acts perpetrated upon the poor by the Conservative Democratic Unionist Party over the past ten years or of their own disguised, islamaphobia, homophobic, racist, anti Semitism. So one might conclude that Mivis is very comfortable and supportive with such impiousness of some, providing it does not threaten the soul of jews, or perhaps not too bothered about the souls of others; Semites, Christian, Muslim, or this is just the Israeli state exercising their puppet Mirvis in fear of JC?....

Of course this is just one’s own irrelevant casting of stones opinion knowing little about human souls only observing how they demonstrate their assumed higher ‘humanity’ beyond beasts and on this one cannot be certain that there may be a majority of ‘secular’ UK/Israeli jews, very capable of looking to their own souls without constrictive scripts laid onto them.

(1) He wrote: “How complicit in prejudice would a leader of Her Majesty’s opposition have to be to be considered unfit for office? Would associations with those who have incited hatred against Jews be enough? Would describing as ‘friends’ those who endorse the murder of Jews be enough? It seems not. “It is not my place to tell any person how they should vote. I regret being in this situation at all. I simply pose the question: What will the result of this election say about the moral compass of our country? When 12 December arrives, I ask every person to vote with their conscience. Be in no doubt, the very soul of our nation is at stake.”
