The Boris deal is markedly better than the May one was. It doesn’t deliver everything we voted Leave for but it does deliver on sovereignty which was the key issue for me and many others. Remainer MPs must bitterly regret their over reach when they voted against the May deal which gave them much more of what they wanted. If they vote down this deal they will further expose themselves as against any form of Brexit at all , even one which the EU seems supportive of , and will pay a heavy price at the ballot box when the GE eventually comes.
Boris has significantly strengthened his hand at the GE whatever the clowns in the Remainer Alliance do in Parliament tomorrow.
Sadly this means that the old party system will be preserved. The Tories will win the election , Labour will be the main party of opposition together with the SNP and Lib Dem’s. In other words one wing of the liberal establishment is in power and the other wing in opposition. The drift leftwards will continue. Immigration form the third world will continue unabated and Islam will continue to prosper in the UK. Brexit will mean less and less as the years pass and Britain will continue to be consumed by mass migration with the willing participation of the liberal left establishment.
If we are to be saved from Islam our saviour will have to come from outside these islands.
Most, possibly all, Remoaner MPs voted to deploy article 50 and stood at the GE on a platform to honour the referendum result. But they never believed in what they were voting for, and in some cases have personal finanicial investments in the EU to protect.
Their barely concealed tactic to marry the two contradictory positions for these last 3 years has been to identify an endless list of any and every possible detail that they cannot support.
I confidently expect Soubry, Grieve, Ummuna, and the rest of the seditious remoaners to say in terms ‘when we agreed to leave we did not agree to any commas or full stops on page 127 of any agreed text’. That’s how they square their consciences.
The rest of us of course see them for what they truly are.
DT,
From what I can make of it so far, the £39 Billion will be on its way to the EU along with all our security services. No change for EU fisheries fishing within our territorial waters. What else is (ha, ha) to like?
Double
I hope the Brexit party still run in a GE (and work with Boris)…there is still a lot of negotiating to do over next few years…and as we know this current bunch couldn’t negotiate themselves out of a wet bag..we might also get a decent HoP
Not entirely in line with you Doublethinker on the question of ‘but it does deliver on sovereingnty,’ UK still to be governed by existing and new laws of the ECJ – a foreign court – and with no say over these laws. [WA articles 4, 87, 89 and 127, PD para 131] Not so certain as I once was having read the detail of this agreement, if you follow my entry below I think you will gather from it a different understanding-if this deal is rejected, then I just hope Boris Johnson still has the guts to get us out without a deal-otherwise we sink.
If the chap you quote is correct then i agree it is far from returning sovereignty. But can this really be believed? How could so many of the Spartans support it if it as your source says? I’m sceptical about what your source is saying.
Tar,
Having rushed to try and get better triangulation on the negative details of the deal which you highlight I have to say that your source is echoed in several other reports . These are very very different to what the DT, Express and several prominent Spartans are reporting.
But if the Spartans are supporting it then it is highly unlikely that we will get anything better unless the TBP is in a majority in the HoC, something which isn’t on the cards at the next GE. After that Brexit May still be an issue but not to the exclusion of all others as it currently is.
I’m not convinced the Conservatives will win a majority at the election. The country is very fragmented politically speaking. Large parts of the country have never been more anti-Conservative than now.
We won’t hear this from the Biased BBC , but my feeling is that Boris and the other Tory ‘Leavers’ have cooked up a BRINO . I believe they have put the Tory Party before the country .
I also believe that they are deluded if they think that most of the true ‘leavers’ out there believe them -they will be shocked when the General Election comes around and most of those votes go to the Brexit Party (where else???).
This detail is from a very reliable source and shows exactly what this nations unvoted for, affiliation with the EU is. May Mk2’ with the advice of a Brussels-based barrister.
Forget Westminster politics, is Boris’s new EU treaty Brexit? No, it’s not: 1. Parliament will not be sovereign – UK still to be governed by existing and new laws of the ECJ – a foreign court – and with no say over these laws. [WA articles 4, 87, 89 and 127, PD para 131]
2. Demands payment of a sum to be decided by the EU – Minimum £39 billion but this is likely to increase and the EU decides the final sum. This must be paid BEFORE any trade deal is agreed. [WA articles 138-144, and 152-155]
3. No trade deal with EU – Not included as this is just a divorce treaty. Any EU trade deal must ensure “a level playing field for open and fair competition” and “deep regulatory and customs cooperation”. This will make it difficult for the UK to reduce non-tariff barriers in trade deals with USA, Australia, China, etc. [PD paras 17 & 21]
4. Prevents independent tax policy – Political Declaration still obliges UK to adopt a future relationship which will impose EU State Aid rules and “relevant tax matters” on the UK. EU specifically intends to curb UK’s ability to have “harmful tax practices”. Withdrawal Treaty also applies EU law to UK during transition period – allowing EU to sue UK, including infringement proceedings for as yet unidentified breaches of State Aid rules and billions in VAT on commodity derivative transactions dating back to 1970s. [PD para 77, WA articles 86, 93, 127].
5. Restricts independent foreign policy – UK to be bound by international agreements concluded by the EU despite having no influence in their negotiation during the transition period and must “refrain, during the transition period, from any action… which is likely to be prejudicial” to the interests of the EU. [Articles 129(3) and (6)].
6. Prevents independent military action – UK permanently stopped from taking “any action likely to conflict with or impede” EU’s foreign policies. Critical parts of section on foreign policy and security are not reciprocal, eg future relationship will not “prejudice the decision-making autonomy of the EU” but no such language for UK – only permitted to “maintain the right to determine how [to respond] to any invitation to participate in operations or missions”. Also, parties “agree to consider” security collaboration in European Defence Agency, European Defence Fund, and PESCO “to the extent possible under [EU law]” which is prescriptive (not permissive) obligation. Despite paying for European Defence Agency during transition, British troops in EU battlegroups will not be led by British staff officers. [WA articles 129(6-7) and 156-157, PD paras 99, 102(c)]
7. Controls UK fishing – Common Fisheries Policy continues in UK waters during transition (which can be extended) but UK will have no say in implementation or enforcement. After transition, Political Declaration requires “cooperation on… regulation of fisheries, in a non-discriminatory manner” – code for continuing current arrangements for EU access to UK waters. Any trade deal to “ensure service providers and investors are treated in a non-discriminatory manner, including with regard to establishment” – prevents UK protecting quotas from EU purchase. [PD paras 29 and 72]
8. Replaces one EU Commission with another – New body established with “powers equivalent to those of the European Commission”. UK must accept exclusive jurisdiction of Arbitration Panel and judgments of ECJ. Grants EU officials criminal immunity and exemption from UK tax. Imposes gagging order on UK which must keep all EU information confidential but EU can use UK information as it sees fit. [WA articles 74, 101, 104-5, 106-116, 159, 168, 174]
9. Leaves UK with €500bn liabilities from EU Investment Bank but no profits – No rights to past and future profits made from UK investment in EIB, no rights to UK share of assets of EIB, yet UK remaining liable for risk of up to €500bn of guarantees. UK must let EU bid for UK public projects at least during transition. [WA articles 34, 75-78, 127, 143, 147, 150].
10. EU colonisation – makes UK bystander in laws that govern it – UK permitted to send civil servant to Brussels to observe EU passing laws designed to disadvantage UK economy during transition which might last many years. EU could regulate London’s huge foreign exchange markets, impose financial transaction tax that would be collected at UK expense by HMRC but sent to foreign governments. [WA article 34]
As has been stated-Boris turned on the light and what was revealed – the ghost of Theresa May. Utterly so awful it defies all logic.
The outcome will be the same – rejection. The media can never get right.
Tarien
Thank you – worth the depressing read . Perhaps the traitors will vote May Mk 2 down Saturday as well .
I think there’s meant to be a mega March in Westminster – sponsored by soros – but perhaps there won’t be the huge numbers that were predicted … as they really do start to realise we are leaving – in some ways – imperfect though it is – for the time being .
In no sane world would this remotely be considered a ‘deal’. This is full blown capitulation. No wonder the EU are happy with it, they’ve got literally everything they could ever want.
Endless control, a blank cheque book from us muppets, our hands have been tied to prevent us signing any advantageous trade deals and basically seeking their permission before we do literally anything.
What an absolute joke. Any faith that I had in Boris has evaporated that he could put forward such an abomination of a deal/treaty.

So the tweet contains a link to an article from the BBC Asian Network.
It was posted at 8.19am this morning, it’s now 1.45pm. It’s had 17 likes and 5 retweets.
Not that likes and retweets pay the bills, but what utter bilge that the media give such publicity to these trouble causing activists when judging by their own tweets only a small handful of people actual “care” or agree with them.
Surely if you wanted to honour the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, a more appropriate and accurate ritual would be the killing of your own sons, no?

It’s better to keep the moral high ground instead of going low.
I now consume no BBC. Tell me then, has any beeboid made the point that Boris must be the only senior politician who has been acquitted of lying by our High Court of Justice?

How many negative people and negative comments can the BBC get in….for some reason they are now soooo concerned about the DUP…
Weren’t so sympathetic when they supported the Tories..
Alastair Campbell provided with his usual facility to interrupt and shout down any opinions at variance with his own readily adaptable versions.
What an irony it is that without this morally defunct lout’s all too frequent appearances on the BBC, he would have faded into obscurity long ago. Not that I’m suggesting any sort of agenda.
Beltane,
Yes, it’s quite amazing: Where’s Heseltine, Bliar and all the rest of the historic EU subservient criminals? You would have thought that with whats at stake, apparently for them, the airwaves would be infected hourly.
I’d guess Heseltine is on his third bottle of non-vintage bubbly in White’s, or some other similar London club pretending to provide the correct atmosphere for a gentleman.

Tommy Robinson Trial – a new one tomorrow. Ezra Levant will cover the trial because the BBC and the media party will not tell the truth.
Here is a thought. We are talking about Johnson fighting for the UK and Priti Patel upholding law, but this grubby standard of justice continues unchecked.
It was on today. Looks like more hearings. What nonsense.
The lawyers and clerks are conferring about dates. Looks like 10 a.m. on January 17th, 2020. That's just the preliminary hearing. Then there will be a final hearing — they're looking at March 2020 for that now.
Judge: This is for the preliminary hearing? Prosecutor: Yes. Ezra's understanding: so the preliminary hearing itself would be two hours, in the new year. But the main matter would be on a later date again. So that's at least two more hearing dates!
This is not the substantive hearing in the matter. It is a procedural hearing. It's to lay out the course of the trial; the dates; to outline the bones of the legal argument, etc. So it's a planning meeting, so to speak.
I'm blown away. But isn't the proof of what I've always said about the Media Party over here: that they're not observers; they're not neutral; they're highly partisan. A journalist just demanded to be able to publish Tommy's home address despite the multiple threats on his life.

Further to my comments about Douglas Murray’s terrific new
book ” The Madness of Crowds. ” where in three chapters he
writes about Gays, Race and Transgender. It has been apparent
for awhile now that the BBC’S obsession with the subjects
almost feels that they have a kind of morbid inverted homophobic,
racist, transphobic obsession , with the subjects.
The train has reached the station so far as Gay issues are
concerned BBC . We are as uninterested in the day to day
mundane lives of gay folk as heterosexual folk. Even if you the
BBC are obsessed with the topic.And gays such as Douglas Murray
feel the same. It is degrading to gays for a serious loss of life
to be put given the same news coverage as to a gay marriage.
As it is with race at the BBC. Tiger Woods and Serena Williams
are great athletes . But BBC it is insulting the intelligence of
its watchers, listeners and readers of ALL races to suggest
that they are the only athletes worth discussing ,when they
are competing.
In tennis, golf, football, cricket rugby etc etc the train has arrived
BBC. Yes what happened in Sofia is despicable and is major
copy. But there are far far less late trains now than 20 years ago.
And where the “train” companies responsible were not
sanctioned years ago. They are more and more sanctioned now.
As for Trans issues. A friend of my daughter was at a
school meeting where the school had decided that it was the
right time to start teaching 6 year old children how normal it
was for them to have two mummies or two daddy’s as their
parents. Or that they were not just boys and girls but one of
any 100 categories in between.
My daughters friend objected to this type of BBC education.
And the teacher explaining the curriculum was heard to
mutter “There is always one of them.”
I expect that at least 80% if not 95% of the parents of the six year old’s did really object , but were scared to say anything because
they might be considered bigots.
We are now living in a western world that has gone mad in
its attitudes towards subjects that only a few years ago were
utterly and wrongly different. Politicians who once voted against
Gay Marriage , now call anybody who have any objection’s
for religious reasons, homophobic at a whim.
The BBC in this country is partly responsible for this madness ,
which has now morphed into the worse kind of insanity.
At first the BBC just run , now it gallops into diverse insanity!
Fos
I think it’s very sad that kids are sexualised at an earlier and earlier age and that carefree innocence is taken away too early
Yes -there are bad people – bad parents – but I can’t but think that increasing mental disorder -self harm -depression – etc is a symptom of the kind of stuff the BBC supports .
I do find it strange that the state broadcaster ‘champions ‘ both queers and Muslims when to me as a non either ( queer or muzzie ) they seem incompatible .
Old
Yes me too I think he goes off on too many detailed tangents when the basic arguments have already been explained and examples given.. It isn’t as concise as his last book and I think maybe he struggled with content and so added stocking fillers…overall he does express common sense views that match most of the country regardless of race creed colour or sexual orientation
Throughout mainstream entertainment the amount of gay and lesbian characters has become a joke. Off the top of my head in Coronation Street (ITV) I can think of 6 regular gay and lesbian characters, in no way representative of anywhere and it does more harm than good in diluting any positive messages. (As an aside, do you remember, oh, maybe 4 years ago, when you’d watch a crime thriller and you NEVER suspected whodunnit until it was revealed that one of the characters was gay. Wow, bomb dropped, I NEVER saw that coming!!! Nowadays I sit on the settee guesing correctly who is and isn’t heterosexual, surprise villains and motives are now dead to us).
back to the point, the casting of characters of different ethnicities to how the part was written/generally accepted must be embarrassing for the actors taking the part. They know they’re there PRIMARILY as a virtue signalling, box ticking exercise.
For those unaware of the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, they’re page turning crime thrillers starring 6ft 2inch black psychologist turned detective Alex Cross. He grew up from childhood with his best mate, John Sampson, a black detective even taller and musclier than Alex Cross. I’ve read lots of the books, I like the stories I like the characters. In the most recent film adaption of Alex Cross, his friend John Sampson was played by a white guy who looked to be about 5ft 9 inches tall. Why? Just Why??
I used to enjoy Jack Reacher stories by Lee Child, Jack was 6ft 5in then they cast Tom Cruise as Jack. Couldn’t even watch the movie without sniggering so gave up on the books as well.
Trubble – that stat troubles me as well . Who represents those 1million Voting Scots in the media ? There doesn’t seem to be anyone . And that’s a big number out of the entire population .
BBC R4..sure are hugging the climate change idiots – giving them loads of time to explain how everyone loves them really, they just don’t know it – not a bloody single alternative view..propaganda at its best
Just tuned in to “Feedback” on Radio 4 assuming (hoping) they’d have some people objecting to the Brexit bias …
Instead there are numerous “idiots” complaining that BBC is not reporting enough on the XR protests … I’m lost for words (I really should have read the Content first: “In Feedback this week have the Extinction Rebellion protests been under-reported on BBC Radio? Some listeners think so and are deeply suspicious about the motivation.“) So, yet another BBC programme not worth listening to …
“And two more listeners leave their comfort zones and head for the great unknown” [turns out to be 2 fans (one male!!) of Wimmin’s Hour and TOADY who listened in to the World Service “Trending” programme – apparently the topic was “Are algorithms racist?” … you really couldn’t make this stuff up!! ;o((
Leicestershire Police have their own special “hate” crime officer and own Twitter account
“hate crime” is a ambush word
cos it actually means “a crime committed against a person who in a Special Victimhood group, but not a person who is white straight male”
Therefore it is discrimatory not an equality law
We have steadily drifted from the principles of the 1st amendment in Britain and Europe for years now.
As a result, our comedy is dull. Our public debates sterile. Our national broadcaster unwatchable. No platforming in our Universities is endemic. The thought police are everywhere and should you deviate from the accepted narrative you’re labelled extreme.
This narrative is exemplified in our media, police, schools and even our NHS.
Our national choices over the last 30 years have been disastrous. Our nation is sinking fast. Our debt is huge, we have no national direction, no real democracy under FPTP, our children have no idea who they are; history is a dirty word now. To quote Peter Hitchens – ‘The new history of Britain will be written in Chinese’.
Apologies for the sullen synopsis but I’ve just read the Surrender…Sorry, withdrawal agreement from Boris. It continues a very slow and peculiarly British death.
“’hate crime’ is a ambush word – cos it actually means ‘a crime committed against a person who in a Special Victimhood group, but not a person who is white straight male’”
“Hate Crime” has a legal definition. I suggest you you look it up before spouting anymore of this nonsense.
Kris Donald (see below) was a “white straight male”. His killers were convicted of racially motivated murder.
I haven’t checked to see if anyone else has reported this so apologies if I’m repeating something.
I received this email from Ezra Levant after attending the trial today of Tommy Robinson, to try to get him banned from attending football matches. These reporter rats disgust me; I’ve asked Ezra if he can divulge the name of this creature:
” I just got out of Tommy Robinson’s court hearing in Luton today, and I’m on my way back to Canada. But I had to send you a quick note to tell you about the most infuriating thing happened.
Just to recap — Tommy is being prosecuted by the government, again. They’re seeking to ban him from all football games in the UK. It’s lawfare, designed to wear Tommy down. It’s outrageous that police and prosecutors are spending their time on this, instead of solving the UK’s crime wave.
But back to today’s hearing. So there I was in the court, along with four other journalists. It was just a brief hearing to set up the ground rules for the trial ahead.
Click here for my short video recap.
One of the formalities was for Tommy’s full name, date of birth and home address to be read into the record. Except that Tommy’s home address has to remain private — he receives constant death threats, including from terrorists. So there was an application to tell the judge Tommy’s address privately — not to have it published to the world.
Tommy’s lawyers asked for this. And the prosecutor agreed. And so did the police.
Everyone knows that Tommy is in great danger, and his family too. And of course, Tommy’s home address has nothing at all to do with the case in question.
So the judge agreed to keep his home private.
But not before another journalist literally stood up in court and objected.
She stood up in court and demanded to have the right to publish Tommy’s address to the world.
I’m serious. She was actually pushing back on the judge.
She wasn’t there to report on the case. She was there to alter the case.
She wasn’t there as a neutral teller of facts. She was there as an adversary, an enemy.
It was astonishing.
That’s the state of the UK media.
In the end, the judge ignored her. But I’ll never forget that moment.
That’s why I flew to the UK today. And that’s why I’ll be back on January 17th for the preliminary hearing, and again on March 24th for the main trial. It’s insane that there are so many court dates. But that’s part of it — it’s a nuisance suit to wear Tommy down.
Today’s outrageous conduct by the media reminded me of why it’s so critically important for me to be there.
Because you just can’t trust the British media to tell the truth about Tommy.”
Yes her identity would be of interest as a matter of accountability . No journo should be above that .
The case is obviously another political one because of it was ‘ real ‘ they’d want him banned now – whilst the season is still young – instead they are talking about a January trial. Nonsense
“So the judge agreed to keep his home private.
But not before another journalist literally stood up in court and objected…
I’m serious. She was actually pushing back on the judge…
It was astonishing.
That’s the state of the UK media.”
So to recap:
Journalist objects to “judge imposed reporting restrictions”… OUTRAGIOUS!
Tommy convicted for breaking “judge imposed reporting restrictions”… OUTRAGIOUS!

This Biblical passage might be apposite:
Isaiah 26:20,21
Come my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast.
For behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain.
What does Kris Donald’s mother think?
Oh, we don’t know because she’s white and the murder of her 15 year old son by a gang of muslim animals doesn’t count for anything.
To be fair, it’s a little known fact that the London Fire Brigade training manual does state that in any fire in a high rise building, only the white people are to be rescued. All blacks are to be left to die.
ITV local news opens with a Think of The Children story
..not grooming raping gang victim
but modern slavery
The example they chose to give was of a 16 year old South African girl who was promised a dream job in the UK then enslaved on arrival
.. They then chose to talk about perps showing the photos of the Lincoln gypsy family.
The thing is their victims were all British , whereas I expect the South African girl was probably a victim of Africans in Britain.
…emm it turns out that today is Modern Slavery Awareness day
.. so the item was PR not news.
The actions of commuters who dragged Extinction Rebellion Tube protesters from the roof of a train are being investigated by the police as it emerged one of the activists is a Buddhist teacher.
Apparently, an ER protester climbed the scaffolding around Big Ben, dressed as Boris Johnson, to protest about government inaction on climate change. Oh, for god’s sake! We seem to be drowning in a sea of infantile adults. Get these stupid people off our streets and give them therapy. The world might well be warming, as it has done many times in the past, but we are not going to die because of it. If they expect doomsday then let them all climb the nearest mountain and wait for it, whilst the rest of us get on with our lives. When their predicted zero hour has come and gone, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have not materialised to reap havoc, then they can all come down from their high moral ground, get back to their comfortable middle class lives, and jobs, and, if they have nothing better to do, they can invent other ogres to scare their children with. (Eagerly assisted by the BBC, of course.)

Disparate advice and opinions from all points of the compass.

NB. Series Producer & Director is none other than Greta Thunberg-promoter & minder, Rob Liddell, as seen above in video in Guest Who’s post @ 2.34pm today
love how they bash Trump at the outset –
“But what is Donald Trump going to do next?”
As a maker of science documentaries, this isn’t something that has troubled me much. Sure, I’ve discussed it at dinner parties (after Brexit and before the need to become an interstellar species) but being able to foresee the next move of the POTUS had been on the back burner professionally. That was until I started making Stargazing: Moon Landing Special for BBC2, when being an ‘expert’ in American constitutional law became bizarrely critical”
assume that was Helen Thomas
from Rob Liddell – series producer/director
“Part of the charm of Stargazing has always been that it is a live show – it helps create energy and gives the programme a unique tone. So one of our biggest challenges was how to maintain its style and tone in a pre-recorded format. We decided to think of the show as if it were live, an approach that affected every aspect of production.”
so,my take – numpties led by numpties in a live/kinda cool show for the kids.
Brandon Lewis quietly explains the deal. Relative silence. David Lammy has only to start off saying; “This is a shockingly bad deal.” Thunderous applause, and roars of approval. No waiting to hear why, even.
Where are we with R4 and a fair-sounding Chris Mason?
At a university, of course, Reading, to be exact. Where else would you find mindless morons, who are not even interest in hearing the argument. “I’d rather go to jail than approve this deal,” says Lammy. Quite right David. Go where you belong.
But David has more to draw thunderous applause to draw. He will vote for the deal if it’s attached to a second referendum. One suspects that, were a second referendum to vote ‘leave’ again, David would tell us with a load, roaring voice that he has changed his mind, because it ‘would not be in the interests of his constituents’ to leave.
There is also a Green party person. You can imagine, so I’ll say no more.
Oh dear, someone has mentioned racism in sport and Lammy is first to answer. This should be fun. Give an arsonist a box of matches…
Oh dear, he’s started on fascism (ERG).
I seen yet another mention on the w/s today but cannot find the item now to link to it. Again a girl, not trafficked across borders at all, but sadly lured, as a runaway from home, into prostitution and eventually killed.
Why are the BBC trying to change the accepted understanding of the meaning of a word? Very Orwellian.
BBC, do you remember John Humphrys? You surely cannot have forgotten him so soon or forgotten that this year he interviewed Nick Clegg on the TOADY Programme.
He asked Nick Clegg about that Cambridge Analytica and other Facebook related interference in the EU Referendum. Nick Clegg is an advocate for Remain, btw, BBC. Just like you.
But when asked by The Humph he admitted “We checked twice. There was no interference in the EU Referendum.” Nick Clegg now works for and speaks for Facebook.
But rich coming from a paper which saw no problem in a criminal wearing a tag turning up and being the deciding vote ….. still think that was shameful but it’s water under a bridge now

Unsurprisingly Stew , I have not seen one question asked about this by our beloved BBC !!

The Boris deal is markedly better than the May one was. It doesn’t deliver everything we voted Leave for but it does deliver on sovereignty which was the key issue for me and many others. Remainer MPs must bitterly regret their over reach when they voted against the May deal which gave them much more of what they wanted. If they vote down this deal they will further expose themselves as against any form of Brexit at all , even one which the EU seems supportive of , and will pay a heavy price at the ballot box when the GE eventually comes.
Boris has significantly strengthened his hand at the GE whatever the clowns in the Remainer Alliance do in Parliament tomorrow.
Sadly this means that the old party system will be preserved. The Tories will win the election , Labour will be the main party of opposition together with the SNP and Lib Dem’s. In other words one wing of the liberal establishment is in power and the other wing in opposition. The drift leftwards will continue. Immigration form the third world will continue unabated and Islam will continue to prosper in the UK. Brexit will mean less and less as the years pass and Britain will continue to be consumed by mass migration with the willing participation of the liberal left establishment.
If we are to be saved from Islam our saviour will have to come from outside these islands.

Most, possibly all, Remoaner MPs voted to deploy article 50 and stood at the GE on a platform to honour the referendum result. But they never believed in what they were voting for, and in some cases have personal finanicial investments in the EU to protect.
Their barely concealed tactic to marry the two contradictory positions for these last 3 years has been to identify an endless list of any and every possible detail that they cannot support.
I confidently expect Soubry, Grieve, Ummuna, and the rest of the seditious remoaners to say in terms ‘when we agreed to leave we did not agree to any commas or full stops on page 127 of any agreed text’. That’s how they square their consciences.
The rest of us of course see them for what they truly are.

Not entirely in line with you Doublethinker on the question of ‘but it does deliver on sovereingnty,’ UK still to be governed by existing and new laws of the ECJ – a foreign court – and with no say over these laws.

Tar,
Having rushed to try and get better triangulation on the negative details of the deal which you highlight I have to say that your source is echoed in several other reports . These are very very different to what the DT, Express and several prominent Spartans are reporting.
But if the Spartans are supporting it then it is highly unlikely that we will get anything better unless the TBP is in a majority in the HoC, something which isn’t on the cards at the next GE. After that Brexit May still be an issue but not to the exclusion of all others as it currently is.

This detail is from a very reliable source and shows exactly what this nations unvoted for, affiliation with the EU is. May Mk2’ with the advice of a Brussels-based barrister.
Forget Westminster politics, is Boris’s new EU treaty Brexit? No, it’s not: 1. Parliament will not be sovereign – UK still to be governed by existing and new laws of the ECJ – a foreign court – and with no say over these laws. [WA articles 4, 87, 89 and 127, PD para 131]
2. Demands payment of a sum to be decided by the EU – Minimum £39 billion but this is likely to increase and the EU decides the final sum. This must be paid BEFORE any trade deal is agreed. [WA articles 138-144, and 152-155]
3. No trade deal with EU – Not included as this is just a divorce treaty. Any EU trade deal must ensure “a level playing field for open and fair competition” and “deep regulatory and customs cooperation”. This will make it difficult for the UK to reduce non-tariff barriers in trade deals with USA, Australia, China, etc. [PD paras 17 & 21]
4. Prevents independent tax policy – Political Declaration still obliges UK to adopt a future relationship which will impose EU State Aid rules and “relevant tax matters” on the UK. EU specifically intends to curb UK’s ability to have “harmful tax practices”. Withdrawal Treaty also applies EU law to UK during transition period – allowing EU to sue UK, including infringement proceedings for as yet unidentified breaches of State Aid rules and billions in VAT on commodity derivative transactions dating back to 1970s. [PD para 77, WA articles 86, 93, 127].
5. Restricts independent foreign policy – UK to be bound by international agreements concluded by the EU despite having no influence in their negotiation during the transition period and must “refrain, during the transition period, from any action… which is likely to be prejudicial” to the interests of the EU. [Articles 129(3) and (6)].
6. Prevents independent military action – UK permanently stopped from taking “any action likely to conflict with or impede” EU’s foreign policies. Critical parts of section on foreign policy and security are not reciprocal, eg future relationship will not “prejudice the decision-making autonomy of the EU” but no such language for UK – only permitted to “maintain the right to determine how [to respond] to any invitation to participate in operations or missions”. Also, parties “agree to consider” security collaboration in European Defence Agency, European Defence Fund, and PESCO “to the extent possible under [EU law]” which is prescriptive (not permissive) obligation. Despite paying for European Defence Agency during transition, British troops in EU battlegroups will not be led by British staff officers. [WA articles 129(6-7) and 156-157, PD paras 99, 102(c)]
7. Controls UK fishing – Common Fisheries Policy continues in UK waters during transition (which can be extended) but UK will have no say in implementation or enforcement. After transition, Political Declaration requires “cooperation on… regulation of fisheries, in a non-discriminatory manner” – code for continuing current arrangements for EU access to UK waters. Any trade deal to “ensure service providers and investors are treated in a non-discriminatory manner, including with regard to establishment” – prevents UK protecting quotas from EU purchase. [PD paras 29 and 72]
8. Replaces one EU Commission with another – New body established with “powers equivalent to those of the European Commission”. UK must accept exclusive jurisdiction of Arbitration Panel and judgments of ECJ. Grants EU officials criminal immunity and exemption from UK tax. Imposes gagging order on UK which must keep all EU information confidential but EU can use UK information as it sees fit. [WA articles 74, 101, 104-5, 106-116, 159, 168, 174]
9. Leaves UK with €500bn liabilities from EU Investment Bank but no profits – No rights to past and future profits made from UK investment in EIB, no rights to UK share of assets of EIB, yet UK remaining liable for risk of up to €500bn of guarantees. UK must let EU bid for UK public projects at least during transition. [WA articles 34, 75-78, 127, 143, 147, 150].
10. EU colonisation – makes UK bystander in laws that govern it – UK permitted to send civil servant to Brussels to observe EU passing laws designed to disadvantage UK economy during transition which might last many years. EU could regulate London’s huge foreign exchange markets, impose financial transaction tax that would be collected at UK expense by HMRC but sent to foreign governments. [WA article 34]
As has been stated-Boris turned on the light and what was revealed – the ghost of Theresa May. Utterly so awful it defies all logic.

In no sane world would this remotely be considered a ‘deal’. This is full blown capitulation. No wonder the EU are happy with it, they’ve got literally everything they could ever want.
Endless control, a blank cheque book from us muppets, our hands have been tied to prevent us signing any advantageous trade deals and basically seeking their permission before we do literally anything.
What an absolute joke. Any faith that I had in Boris has evaporated that he could put forward such an abomination of a deal/treaty.

Further to my comments about Douglas Murray’s terrific new
book ” The Madness of Crowds. ” where in three chapters he
writes about Gays, Race and Transgender. It has been apparent
for awhile now that the BBC’S obsession with the subjects
almost feels that they have a kind of morbid inverted homophobic,
racist, transphobic obsession , with the subjects.
The train has reached the station so far as Gay issues are
concerned BBC . We are as uninterested in the day to day
mundane lives of gay folk as heterosexual folk. Even if you the
BBC are obsessed with the topic.And gays such as Douglas Murray
feel the same. It is degrading to gays for a serious loss of life
to be put given the same news coverage as to a gay marriage.
As it is with race at the BBC. Tiger Woods and Serena Williams
are great athletes . But BBC it is insulting the intelligence of
its watchers, listeners and readers of ALL races to suggest
that they are the only athletes worth discussing ,when they
are competing.
In tennis, golf, football, cricket rugby etc etc the train has arrived
BBC. Yes what happened in Sofia is despicable and is major
copy. But there are far far less late trains now than 20 years ago.
And where the “train” companies responsible were not
sanctioned years ago. They are more and more sanctioned now.
As for Trans issues. A friend of my daughter was at a
school meeting where the school had decided that it was the
right time to start teaching 6 year old children how normal it
was for them to have two mummies or two daddy’s as their
parents. Or that they were not just boys and girls but one of
any 100 categories in between.
My daughters friend objected to this type of BBC education.
And the teacher explaining the curriculum was heard to
mutter “There is always one of them.”
I expect that at least 80% if not 95% of the parents of the six year old’s did really object , but were scared to say anything because
they might be considered bigots.
We are now living in a western world that has gone mad in
its attitudes towards subjects that only a few years ago were
utterly and wrongly different. Politicians who once voted against
Gay Marriage , now call anybody who have any objection’s
for religious reasons, homophobic at a whim.
The BBC in this country is partly responsible for this madness ,
which has now morphed into the worse kind of insanity.
At first the BBC just run , now it gallops into diverse insanity!

Throughout mainstream entertainment the amount of gay and lesbian characters has become a joke. Off the top of my head in Coronation Street (ITV) I can think of 6 regular gay and lesbian characters, in no way representative of anywhere and it does more harm than good in diluting any positive messages. (As an aside, do you remember, oh, maybe 4 years ago, when you’d watch a crime thriller and you NEVER suspected whodunnit until it was revealed that one of the characters was gay. Wow, bomb dropped, I NEVER saw that coming!!! Nowadays I sit on the settee guesing correctly who is and isn’t heterosexual, surprise villains and motives are now dead to us).
back to the point, the casting of characters of different ethnicities to how the part was written/generally accepted must be embarrassing for the actors taking the part. They know they’re there PRIMARILY as a virtue signalling, box ticking exercise.
For those unaware of the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, they’re page turning crime thrillers starring 6ft 2inch black psychologist turned detective Alex Cross. He grew up from childhood with his best mate, John Sampson, a black detective even taller and musclier than Alex Cross. I’ve read lots of the books, I like the stories I like the characters. In the most recent film adaption of Alex Cross, his friend John Sampson was played by a white guy who looked to be about 5ft 9 inches tall. Why? Just Why??

We have steadily drifted from the principles of the 1st amendment in Britain and Europe for years now.
As a result, our comedy is dull. Our public debates sterile. Our national broadcaster unwatchable. No platforming in our Universities is endemic. The thought police are everywhere and should you deviate from the accepted narrative you’re labelled extreme.
This narrative is exemplified in our media, police, schools and even our NHS.
Our national choices over the last 30 years have been disastrous. Our nation is sinking fast. Our debt is huge, we have no national direction, no real democracy under FPTP, our children have no idea who they are; history is a dirty word now. To quote Peter Hitchens – ‘The new history of Britain will be written in Chinese’.

I haven’t checked to see if anyone else has reported this so apologies if I’m repeating something.
I received this email from Ezra Levant after attending the trial today of Tommy Robinson, to try to get him banned from attending football matches. These reporter rats disgust me; I’ve asked Ezra if he can divulge the name of this creature:
” I just got out of Tommy Robinson’s court hearing in Luton today, and I’m on my way back to Canada. But I had to send you a quick note to tell you about the most infuriating thing happened.
Just to recap — Tommy is being prosecuted by the government, again. They’re seeking to ban him from all football games in the UK. It’s lawfare, designed to wear Tommy down. It’s outrageous that police and prosecutors are spending their time on this, instead of solving the UK’s crime wave.
But back to today’s hearing. So there I was in the court, along with four other journalists. It was just a brief hearing to set up the ground rules for the trial ahead.
Click here for my short video recap.
One of the formalities was for Tommy’s full name, date of birth and home address to be read into the record. Except that Tommy’s home address has to remain private — he receives constant death threats, including from terrorists. So there was an application to tell the judge Tommy’s address privately — not to have it published to the world.
Tommy’s lawyers asked for this. And the prosecutor agreed. And so did the police.
Everyone knows that Tommy is in great danger, and his family too. And of course, Tommy’s home address has nothing at all to do with the case in question.
So the judge agreed to keep his home private.
But not before another journalist literally stood up in court and objected.
She stood up in court and demanded to have the right to publish Tommy’s address to the world.
I’m serious. She was actually pushing back on the judge.
She wasn’t there to report on the case. She was there to alter the case.
She wasn’t there as a neutral teller of facts. She was there as an adversary, an enemy.
It was astonishing.
That’s the state of the UK media.
In the end, the judge ignored her. But I’ll never forget that moment.
That’s why I flew to the UK today. And that’s why I’ll be back on January 17th for the preliminary hearing, and again on March 24th for the main trial. It’s insane that there are so many court dates. But that’s part of it — it’s a nuisance suit to wear Tommy down.
Today’s outrageous conduct by the media reminded me of why it’s so critically important for me to be there.
Because you just can’t trust the British media to tell the truth about Tommy.”

ITV local news opens with a Think of The Children story
..not grooming raping gang victim
but modern slavery
The example they chose to give was of a 16 year old South African girl who was promised a dream job in the UK then enslaved on arrival
.. They then chose to talk about perps showing the photos of the Lincoln gypsy family.
The thing is their victims were all British , whereas I expect the South African girl was probably a victim of Africans in Britain.
…emm it turns out that today is Modern Slavery Awareness day
.. so the item was PR not news.

The actions of commuters who dragged Extinction Rebellion Tube protesters from the roof of a train are being investigated by the police as it emerged one of the activists is a Buddhist teacher.

Apparently, an ER protester climbed the scaffolding around Big Ben, dressed as Boris Johnson, to protest about government inaction on climate change. Oh, for god’s sake! We seem to be drowning in a sea of infantile adults. Get these stupid people off our streets and give them therapy. The world might well be warming, as it has done many times in the past, but we are not going to die because of it. If they expect doomsday then let them all climb the nearest mountain and wait for it, whilst the rest of us get on with our lives. When their predicted zero hour has come and gone, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have not materialised to reap havoc, then they can all come down from their high moral ground, get back to their comfortable middle class lives, and jobs, and, if they have nothing better to do, they can invent other ogres to scare their children with. (Eagerly assisted by the BBC, of course.)

“Labour’s Brexit Hypocrites Revealed.”
Not BBC, but Guido has some statistics, Labour MPs stated position contradicting their voting.
From the HYS a comment which made me smile, and hopefully will make some BBBC readers smile.
“MayfairMagFan
I don’t know where you get your graphics Guido, but I don’t think Labour have any female MP’s
with silhouettes as attractive as those above.

The BBC have some explaining to do. They support the AGW/CC/C-E thing without asking any questions now.
But they are very keen on burning lots of CO2 to go to the moon and back: https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/factual/stargazing-moon-landing-special-bbc2/5141269.article
NB. Series Producer & Director is none other than Greta Thunberg-promoter & minder, Rob Liddell, as seen above in video in Guest Who’s post @ 2.34pm today

love how they bash Trump at the outset –
“But what is Donald Trump going to do next?”
As a maker of science documentaries, this isn’t something that has troubled me much. Sure, I’ve discussed it at dinner parties (after Brexit and before the need to become an interstellar species) but being able to foresee the next move of the POTUS had been on the back burner professionally. That was until I started making Stargazing: Moon Landing Special for BBC2, when being an ‘expert’ in American constitutional law became bizarrely critical”
assume that was Helen Thomas
from Rob Liddell – series producer/director
“Part of the charm of Stargazing has always been that it is a live show – it helps create energy and gives the programme a unique tone. So one of our biggest challenges was how to maintain its style and tone in a pre-recorded format. We decided to think of the show as if it were live, an approach that affected every aspect of production.”
so,my take – numpties led by numpties in a live/kinda cool show for the kids.

Brandon Lewis quietly explains the deal. Relative silence. David Lammy has only to start off saying; “This is a shockingly bad deal.” Thunderous applause, and roars of approval. No waiting to hear why, even.
Where are we with R4 and a fair-sounding Chris Mason?
At a university, of course, Reading, to be exact. Where else would you find mindless morons, who are not even interest in hearing the argument. “I’d rather go to jail than approve this deal,” says Lammy. Quite right David. Go where you belong.
But David has more to draw thunderous applause to draw. He will vote for the deal if it’s attached to a second referendum. One suspects that, were a second referendum to vote ‘leave’ again, David would tell us with a load, roaring voice that he has changed his mind, because it ‘would not be in the interests of his constituents’ to leave.
There is also a Green party person. You can imagine, so I’ll say no more.
Oh dear, someone has mentioned racism in sport and Lammy is first to answer. This should be fun. Give an arsonist a box of matches…
Oh dear, he’s started on fascism (ERG).

The language is leaving me.
The BBC are trying to substitute the word ‘trafficking’ for ‘pimping and prostitution’. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-50082326
Weird.
Why?
I seen yet another mention on the w/s today but cannot find the item now to link to it. Again a girl, not trafficked across borders at all, but sadly lured, as a runaway from home, into prostitution and eventually killed.
Why are the BBC trying to change the accepted understanding of the meaning of a word? Very Orwellian.

Remain BBC campaigning on behalf of Remain – still – and repeating a Remain lie – again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07rfjj9
BBC, do you remember John Humphrys? You surely cannot have forgotten him so soon or forgotten that this year he interviewed Nick Clegg on the TOADY Programme.
He asked Nick Clegg about that Cambridge Analytica and other Facebook related interference in the EU Referendum. Nick Clegg is an advocate for Remain, btw, BBC. Just like you.
But when asked by The Humph he admitted “We checked twice. There was no interference in the EU Referendum.” Nick Clegg now works for and speaks for Facebook.

Unsurprisingly Stew , I have not seen one question asked about this by our beloved BBC !!
Strange, as she never seems to be off our screens . Yet anyone who may have shook hands with Boris in the past 20 years has their life forensically investigated , same with Farage , Raab etc.
It’s almost as if the BBC have some kind of agenda !!! Surely not.

Its not a deal, its a treaty.

I’ve bet on the Agreement being rejected by Parliament and stand to make a few pounds, which I’ll give to my wife and kids.
It’s my moral duty to do so as a Little Englander with military service. The ‘Senior Service’ should you wish to know 🙂
By the way, it’s Trafalgar Day on Monday, a day on which I’ll shall be raising a glass of rum or two to our saviour himself.
“England expects…”.
Keep up the good work, all. The end is in sight for both the EU and the identically biased, parasitic and unaccountable BBC.

Let’s face it – Letwin is the extreme weird end of the Tory Party . He’s said he is standing down at the next election – if there ever is one .
Guido described him putting sugar on his fry up breakfast and not even realising it .
Maybe he’s just bargaining for his peerage like the rest of the outgoing traitors .
Wiki says he had to repay a £2000 expense claim for fixing a leaking pipe under neith one of the tennis courts at his constituency home .
I’ve had that trouble too

Watchdog with @AnnekaRice
. Anneka investigates whether carbon offsetting can really mean guilt-free-flying.
‘i feel really guilty about flying
so I haven’t flown for 3 years
Different airlines have carbon calculators, but they have different projects
I asked expert John Buckley
Amsterdam is worth 7 Oak Tree Lives, but some airlines claim that £1 is the offset cost
So I spoke to enviro Campaigner Cait Hewitt”
… WTF ..skeptics are banned from the BBC , but as soon as you have a green question it’s “I went to eco campaigner Cait to see what she thinks” !
Cait wags her finger “70% of flights are taken by 15%,
we don’t have low carbon aircraft”
AR “So offsetting isn’t a solution”
