WHO COULD REPLACE CORBYN ?

The British Press at present is  overflowing with  articles criticising  Corbyn, the current Leader of the Labour Party since 2016.  

They all question whether Corbyn  possesses all the qualities normally expected of anyone who could become a future Prime Minister of Great Britain !

Jeremy Corbyn, aged 69, is a known deep rooted left-wing Socialist or even a Communist !   But is this really important ?   The Labour Party which lost the last Election is split :  it is no longer the main Opposition !   Could Corbyn really rouse any more support with his current policies and ideas ?

Is there not a younger traditional center-left Socialist who could build a new Party ?  This could also curtail Corbyn's activities, not only in Britain but in the EU (if there is no BREXIT) !

CORBYN : HOW FAR COULD HE GO ?

After Labour was defeated in the 2017 General Election, Miliband resigned and Corbyn was chosen to replace him.   Since then Corbyn has been very reluctant to provide any more details of his "very left" leanings in the past or to explain some of his recent "utterances" !

His official explanation of his and the Labour Party  Policy concerning "Jews and the Holocaust" is today urgently awaited ! 

Information of the past of Jeremy Corbyn and his Political Ideas or Policies, is available on the Internet.  He is now aged 69 and one can question whether he is the right man to lead the Labour Party, or to become a future Prime Minister of Great Britain !      

If ever Jeremy Corbyn does manage to win the General Election with a working Parliamentary majority and then introduces some of the changes he dreams of, Britain could become a left-wing Republic or even a Totalitarian Communist Dictatorship !

DO FANS REALLY WANT "POSSESSION-FOOTBALL" ?

Does endless "possession-football on the half-way line" really excite the fans who go weekly to watch their team or others, or watch it on television ? 

Do spectators not want to watch attacking football with the ball moving quickly from one end to the other, after dribblers have beaten their man, or instead been robbed of the ball by them ? 

Some younger spectators have not seen players like Stanley Matthews or Alf Ramsey and others perform !   When Matthews of Blackpool played for them in London, often an extra 10 000 spectators came to watch him play in the game !   

At present "possession football" is still the new rage and there are some expert technicians but... !     But finally will not even the stalwart fans  feel discouraged ?

BORIS JOHNSON SHOULD BE APPLAUDED !

Boris Johnson, a former Mayor of London and now an MP (1) has never hesitated to express his thoughts in public. Very recently he compared  Muslim women wearing a burka to a "letter box" and "bank robbers".   But can anyone deny him his legal right to make comments !   

Johnson does not "dither" like "Diplomats" often do, to avoid a "Diplomatic incident" !   Johnson directly explains what in fact many "real Brits" also truely think of an issue !   And for this he is often widely applauded !


The current issue, of whether "Burkas" are acceptable, is a typical example !   Inhabitants of Muslim countries clearly want to impose the rules of their religion on their Women and on Western visitors ! 

BUT, when Muslims enter Western countries like Britain, they are expected to respect the laws of that country.

There are two basic reasons for this :
          
 -  Hoods or burkas are not acceptable because they prevent easy facial identification,

  -  The official Religion in Britain is that of the Church of England.

Whether or not a Woman wants to wear a Burka in Britain is therefore a private matter :  in the privacy of her home any woman can do what she wants, but not when she is in Public !


(1) Johnson has also been a Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.

BENALLA INCONNU DU MINISTRE DE L'INTERIEUR !

Ecouté ce matin l'audition de Gerard Collomb à l'Assemblée Nationale sur l'affaire Benalla.

Impression d'écoeurement.

Le Ministre de l'Intérieur ne connaissait pas Monsieur Benalla !  Il ne savait pas que Monsieur Benalla était conseiller du Président !

Et pourtant chacun a pu voir les photos de Benalla au ski avec Macron, au tennis avec Macron, à bicyclette avec Macron, à Giverny avec Macron, au Panthéon lors de l'hommage à Simone Veil et enfin avec les Bleus...

Que nos Députés, de droite comme de gauche, ne lâchent rien et que la lumière soit faite sur le rôle de Monsieur Benalla et des liens qui l'unissaient au Président de la République !

"MESSY BREXIT" OR "MESSY EU" ?

British commentators on the BREXIT negotiations always criticise the "messy" deal which Prime Minister May has obtained !   Sometimes one can doubt whether the aim of some Politicians is not to further their own future carreers later when the "mess" must be cleaned-up !

The alternative for a "Messy Brexit" is in fact the "Messy EU" !   The EU Treaties must be updated to provide SECURITY for EU citizens, who are faced with rampant immigration due to uncontrolled EU frontieres and mounting Terrorist attacks !   On many of these issues  there is no "UNION" in the EU !  The negotiations of all  points will take time.

The BREXIT cost for Britain to liberate itself of all EU obligations hides the pain which all the  remaining EU country members will suffer !  A severe contraction of EU personnel numbers  must take place !

Other "EXITS" can also be expected.   They will be complex for countries which are in the EUROZONE but easier for others which have their own currency like Britain !

Advocates who want Britain to remain in the EU should seriously calculate and justify the value of staying !

PUTIN ALWAYS DENIES EVERYTHING !

Western political observers of Putin know full well that he "always" systematically denies that "he or Russia" is  guilty of any alleged criminal accusation without the formal presentation of the evidence !

Without this evidence Putin cannot verify anything, to  deny or prove the contrary of any allegation ! 

Keen observers were astonished by the declaration of President Trump after his meeting with President Putin, that Russia did not interfere in the USA Presidential Election in 2016 !    

Trump's lame excuse, to reverse what he had said, is nothing else but an admission that he was not properly prepared to meet Putin !    Simply it was again another display of his lack of the basic principles of diplomacy !
