EU + RFA : MERKEL BLOCKS ALL CHANGE ...but...


With the skin of her teeth, Angela Merkel the Chancellor is still clinging-on to   remain as the Leader of Germany, after the General Election in September 2017  !  

BUT, to protect her "job" she is also rebuffing all attempts by countries in the EU to undertake urgently wanted changes in EU political policies.   Some of these Policy changes will also require an updating of some basic principles in EU Treaties !

Some typical examples concern ;

1) - Selective Immigration into the EU,
2) - Open Frontiers into the EU,
3) - Uncontrolled Migration inside the EU,
4) - Uncontrolled dumping of goods by low-cost Countries,
5) - Terrorism and Security in the EU.

Traditional governing Parties have avoided addressing these and similar problems, and this could become one of the reasons why many new but small political parties have recently sprung-up in National elections all over the EU.

Chancellor Merkel and Germany must get their house in order :  EU problems now need preferential attention, otherwise one can only expect more "BREXITS" !

PARIS : NO BOBBIES - NO LOCAL SECURITY !


Citizens in some suburbs of Paris no longer see Policemen patrolling their neighbourhood streets !

The French Press has even stated that in certain areas of the suburbs, the Police are too scared to patrol due to the presence of Gangs and Drug-dealers !  As a result some citizens are too afraid to go out of doors after nightfall !

What are all the "Bobbies" doing ?  Are they now all fully occupied  watching visual pictures from traffic cameras ? When there are no "feet on the ground" criminals are not deterred !

Furthermore, "soft justice" awaits  offenders because prisons in France are overcrowded.  

No government has ordered the construction of new purpose-built prisons during at least the last 20 years !   Criminals are aware of all this !

Will President Macron have the courage to address these problems with his reforms ?  Or will he only seek to reduce the number of Bobbies to finance his other projects ?

MACRON : BREXIT VOTERS ARE LIARS !


Macron, the young President of France, has once more lapsed and shocked with an undiplomatic  remark !  This time he alleged that the 52% of British voters who backed BREXIT in the National Referendum were "LIARS" ! 

Added to this, at the special Brexit Conference of EU Leaders in Salzburg this week, the EU negotiators came without any new propositions to alleviate the stalemate on outstanding points !

For example, it is quite clear that the British Prime Minister Theresa May, is stubborn and will never permit the EU decide the future of Northern Ireland which must always be treated as an integral part of the United Kingdom, just like Wales and Scotland.

Neither Theresa May nor the EU have a mandate to change the status of Northern Ireland. 

Finally, if the stalemate persists and there is "no deal" at the end March 2019, Britain is ready for a new and independent future outside the EU !   No compensation will be paid by Britain for leaving if there is no deal !

BORIS RAISES A BREXIT PROBLEM !


Boris Johnson alleges that the BREXIT conditions would give the EU certain rights concerning the Northern Ireland border with the Irish Republic !

Does the definition of "United Kingdom" in international treaties not always include Northern Ireland ?   Has Britain INTENTIONALLY ceded to the EU any  territorial rights in a place called Northern Ireland ?   

When BREXIT finally liberates the UK from the EU, will the UK not have to defend "ALL" its borders, even those in Northern Ireland, against ALL intruders ?  The Republic of Ireland will certainly also defend its frontiers, like Britain. 

Practical cooperation between Britain and Ireland will certainly be agreed,  as has been the case in Calais for many years between Britain and France !

Before Britain signs any final Brexit Treaty with the EU, lawyers will certainly closely scrutinise all documents to ensure the conditions and terms correctly reflect the intentions of both parties !

PUTIN "PROVES" RUSSIA NOT GUILTY !


Putin has been quick to provide an explanation, to "prove", that the two Russians accused by Britain are not guilty of the attempted murder of the former Russian Spy Skripal on March 2 2018 !

The two suspects affirmed on Russian Television  that they were simply "tourists" who wanted to visit Salisbury Cathedral !   But, it seems that the snowy conditions and slushy roads were so bad, they cut short their visit which had lasted only two days when they returned to Russia !

After the detailed evidence made available by Theresa May, many unanswered questions spring to mind...

1)   Why did these two tourists come without their families, or are they not married ?  
2)   Were the slushy conditions in Salisbury even worse than those ever experienced in Russia ?
3)  Where do they really work ?   What are their job qualifications ?  
4 Do they always travel together ?  Which countries have they visited and for how long ? Which foreign languages do they speak ?
5)  Whom in particular did they meet in Salisbury or on previous trips ?


The Blunt denial by Putin that no one in Russia was involved in the attempted poisoning of Scripal is standard practice !  Putin never admits any such allegations !   Even this time when he has had the detailed evidence.

This in fact has really only helped him, to prepare his pitiful defence strategy.

MORE SOFT JUSTICE FOR TERRORISTS !


In Britain and in France (and the EU !) prisons have often been VERY overcrowded during the last 20 years !   This is no secret ! 

To alleviate this problem, Ministers of Justice (backed by all their Prime Ministers) have given verbal instructions to their Judges to apply "soft" justice and punishments ! 

Everyone knows that hardened criminals, Gangsters and Terrorists in particular, are not at all "deterred" by soft justice from again killing or committing further heinous crimes !

Is it not yet quite clear, that they have no respect for their victims or their Human Right to live ? 

Therefore, should Human Rights Legislation not be modified for mass murderers and Terrorists ?  

Any country which has signed-up to World Legislation could lead the way by passing such an Act on a National Basis !

Finally, are our Politicians not elected to protect their citizens and to build more prisons to ensure the security of their Electors ?

GB : CORBYN HAS SPLIT THE LABOUR PARTY .....!


Corbyn, as leader of the Socialist Party in Britain, has always been slow to answer questions, or to further explain what he has said or what his own policies really are !   But one point is clear : he has always been against the EU and is now for "BREXIT" ! 

He is a Socialist but in the past he has favoured extreme-left points of view to such an extent one can question if he is not a Communist in sheep's clothing !   Many Socialists no longer know how to vote in future elections ! 

Are they not, in fact, awaiting a new, more traditional leader, to unite ALL the "floating" center-left Socialist voters to oppose any traditional center-right party to govern Britain in future elections ?

WILL PUTIN EVER ADMIT ANY GUILT ?


Theresa May, the British Prime Minister, yesterday exposed all the names and detailed evidence, of how two Russian agents were sent by the Kremlin to Salisbury in the South of Britain, to assassinate a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal.  

Vladimir Putin always systematically rejects any and all allegations of wrongdoings by Russia, but always asks for the proof of accusations.   

This time clear evidence is available !   A nerve agent "Novichok", produced by and in Russia,   was brought to Britain in a perfume bottle to kill Skripal, but he received timely hospital treatment and survived.

EU Countries are backing Britain and plan to punish Russia !   Putin can expect a reduction of Russian exports worldwide, particularly the gas which Russia sells to Europe !   This could in turn lead to a weakening of the Russian Rouble and then provoke unrest everywhere in Russia !

The USA also exports gas and has also suffered from Russian interference in the Presidential Election !

MERKEL AND GERMANY BLOCK THE EU !


Since the last General Election in Germany in September 2017,  Angela Merkel has been desperately negotiating to conserve her former dominant position !  She and her Coalition have failed to obtain a stable governing majority. 

These negotiations have not been easy and one can well imagine they have required Policy concessions on her part, but... have ALL the details been made public ?  

AND such "concessions" concern not only internal German policies but future EU policies as well !  The EU itself seems to be at a complete standstill ! 

Its original 50 year old EU statutes and policies are now in dire need of updating ; particularly if one wants to avoid more EXITS like the probable BREXIT !  

What will the future German EU Policy be on "open external frontiers" and "immigration" ?  Do the EU "Human Rights" policies for mass murderers like Terrorists not also need to be questionned ?
