  1. Forget about the teams. It's whats being done that matters, and so far it's not good enough

  2. This country can't escape economic gravity, and what it doesn't realise there are no friends or special relationships in geopolitics. There are only interests, and invariably those interests are defined by the powerful and the wealthy. We aren't that important anymore. With the advent of the Digital Revolution, the UK outside the EU is a lame duck, because it gave away what really made it attractive - being part of a market sized at nearly 500m people. 70m doesn't compare in importance. Plus our previous Competitive Advantages that mostly are in mature industries that are coming to the end of their profitable lives, or which are often done better and/or cheaper elsewhere. And our services-based economy, mostly dominated by Financial Services, makes us vulnerable in the context of a global financial system that has been broken since 2007. We are like the intensive cocoa farmers who thought they knew better than the indigenous cocoa farmers how to grow the crop. These farmers grew their cocoa trees with native plants growing between. Not the intensive farmers. They just planted rows of cocoa trees in big orchards, and then watched as their trees were ravaged by pests and diseases, while the indigenous farmers' crops weren't. They didn't realise that homogenous crops are more liable to infestation and disease because they evolve faster to be more effective at feeding on the cocoa tree. When the crop is heterogeneous it's harder for cocoa-specialised pathogens to evolve. Likewise, our economy is particularly vulnerable because we are not diversified enough to ride out the business cycle to keep people wealthy enough to spend. Right now we're so busy throwing money at plutocrats and bankers, that we are actually qualifying for an economic Darwin Award by letting them own or run everything, often very badly. And these powerful groups now own our politics too. And having a Chancellor, who while being anbitious, hasn't a clue how the economy works can only accelerate our progress to nowhere. Brexit was a knee jerk reaction to a complex problem that people still don't understand. It has bought us into a place where we cannot go back, and neither can we go forward on our own. And our ecinimic stagnation is the reward for the folly of Brexit. It will rank with the Interregnum, as one of the most damaging incidents in British History. And Putin is laughing at us. He sees us not as Blackadder, but as Baldrick, and perhaps deservedly so. He's played us for fools, and complacent ones at that. Nobody could tell you the truth, because they could never be elected if they did. But if you want a look at the real causes of your distress, I suggest you watch the video by Georg Rockwall-Schmidt entitled "Election 2024 Hope vs Truth" here on YouTube. And every time he says America or American just interpose Britain or British. For every president's name, just put in the matching British Prime Minister. The British Goldman Sachs goons, you can look up yourself. But every other word is applicable to the UK and the US.

  3. Not true. Human rights law has zero to do with trade. I mean, you wanted a hard Brexit, and you got it, and harder, they'd be doing a live aid for us and that is controlled by WTO rules, of which the ECHR has nothing to do with. You wanted WTO rules and you got them, straight, no chaser. But what you weren't told by the grifters you listen to is that WTO rules - Hard Brexit rules - were designed to punish states that imposed trade friction, like tarrifs and red tape. The ECHR holds no dangers for anyone in Britain. The problem isn't migrants or human rights, it's that you don't own your own problems. You don't think you were complicit in your own failure to understand the downsides. So pkease, Botarovich, so bleating about inconsequential matters like the ECHR, as if that will stop your bosses. It's jus BS to misdirect the hoi polloi into ignoring the people actually holding the leash around their necks. In time, people will figure it out. And then, what will happen? Who knows, but the truth will be undeniable, and if there's anything left to save, then the people can save it then.
