The abdication of the British political class
We have just seen a democratic decision by the British people that is as clear and unambiguous as it could be. In a simple referendum, with a simple question that a halfwit could understand, a clear majority decided that the UK should leave the EU.
There is no dispute about this that I have seen or heard. No claims of stuffed ballot boxes, or dodgy postal votes, like we heard for the Scottish Referendum. Nobody disputes that, after an arguably overlong and poorly informed campaign, a clear result was delivered. A result that shocked many, but unarguably a clear result.
So it is incumbent on the UK political class to act upon that result immediately. The people were promised during the campaign that article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty would be immediately triggered if the outcome was Leave. This is the article that gives 2 years of negotiating time for any state that is leaving the EU. These 2 years will be a vital time that will determine the future course for the UK. So it is clear that a coalition Government should be formed to urgently address the whole process and get on with the job. Political leadership is essential now.
Instead what do we get?
The Prime Minister resigns and refuses to trigger article 50. He makes plans to retire to his family tax haven, and utterly fails to do the right thing for the electorate and the country.
The media appointed "leader" of the Leave campaign refuses to trigger article 50 too. He was clearly more interested in being PM than doing the right thing for the country. He was a Remaindeer until February. His reincarnation as a Brexiteer seems contrived and a political pose.
The governing party goes into purdah to focus entirely on the scramble for a new leader. It decides to delay any action on Brexit until the new leader is in place, wasting the vital first few months.
The main opposition party triggers a Parliamentary coup to unseat its leader, who was elected by a large majority only last year. His crime? It isn't clear but, given that the Brexit decision was overwhelming in the opposition constituencies, and that the leader is himself a lifelong Brexiteer, maybe they think that it is his fault. But is it?
The main opposition party is unbelievably complacent. Lost in the London bubble and utterly failing to take account of the views of its constituents. The constituents that it theoretically "represents" vote overwhelmingly for Brexit, and the "professional" politicians seem surprised! To cap it all these opposition MP's think that they should not have to stand for re-selection by their constituency party at every General Election. They think that one victory gives them a lifelong right to be re-selected. Even if that victory is in a safe seat! Arrogant, complacent, failure to represent, failure to understand; a sorry bunch of nonentities.
The minor opposition party, whose whole raisin d'etre is Brexit, has only one seat despite millions of votes in the last GE. So they are hamstrung.
The Scottish opposition party, who have 50+ seats despite only a quarter of the votes of the minor opposition, reject the result entirely. Based on what? It is hard to tell. They lost their own "Independence" referendum only 2 years ago. Their snouts are now well and truly buried in the Westminster and Brussels troughs I expect. So maybe there is a clue.
So both main parties are rudderless and both minor opposition parties are hamstrung for one reason or another. And there is no action to proceed with the democratic instruction. It is a despicable abdication of responsibility by the whole political class.
They are acting like a rabbit in the headlights. They aren't used to this. They can normally fix things the way they like, so their snouts can stay firmly in the trough. Their golden EU pension pots will disappear! They are having to work for a change. Horror of horrors.
[What do they actually do at Westminster? 70+% of our laws are now handed down by the EU Commission. They have nothing to do other than intrigue and back-stab. Another good reason to have voted Brexit. Make them work for a living!]
The politicians credibility is already hanging by a thread. The referendum shows that clearly. A referendum is the only way that the UK electorate can hit the political class effectively. General Elections cannot do that. Only a few dozen seats are marginal, so all the rest are utterly useless for "kicking the bums out". There is no real accountability in this moribund "representative party democracy" of ours. No representation, as we have just seen. Utterly complacent parties, see above. Precious little real democracy, as we see every GE.
So that thread could snap if these fools don't wake up. They really are arrogant beyond belief.
We may need to sack them all and start again. Now there's an idea.....
Postscript:
If article 50 isn't triggered by 31st March 2017 then new EU rules will apply. Brexit will be subject to Qualified Majority Vote. Wtf's that? Don't ask. See this:

Maybe that is their game plan.

Is Brexit a massive psyop?
You've got to wonder.
Whilst the whole UK Establishment, with it's lickspittle puppets in politics and the media, runs around like Chicken Licken, shouting "The sky has fallen in!" and other such guff. What has actually changed for ordinary people? Has the sky fallen in? No of course it hasn't.
What has actually happened before and after the vote is very instructive though.
The "markets" have tumbled. Well so what? How does that effect the ordinary people, who are not rich? Answer: it doesn't. The "markets" are simply for rich people only. They are all rigged in their favour anyway. The presstitutes bang on about the markets as though we are all dependent on them in some way. Why should we worry that a few rich twats have taken a fall?
The whole of the Western finance capital system has been teetering on the edge since 2008. They've been conjuring money out of thin air for over 100 years now. Ever since the Federal Reserve was founded in 1913. Why do you think that the US $ has fallen in value by over 95% since 1913? The City of London has been at it far longer of course. The Bank of England has been conjuring money out of thin air for centuries. Why has the national debt doubled under Osbourne? Because they've been inventing funny money to prop up their markets. Their so called "Quantitative Easing". Without it a whole raft of UK and European banks would undoubtedly already have failed. Ultimately this "Quantitative Easing" [invented money] will be paid for by us, out of our taxes. It is purely to prop up their corpse of a finance system.
So is Brexit the cause of the market falls? No of course it isn't. The crash was coming well before Brexit was even a possibility. They've been kicking the crash can down the road all this century for sure.
It seems that this tsunami of bad economic news, which has been coming at us for years and years, was almost certain to hit us in 2016. The observers of the financial world, who did not believe the presstitutes of the media line , that "all is well", have understood this for some time and made preparations accordingly. I certainly have. The systemic flaws in the western finance capital system have been plain for all who cared to look. But if you rely on their controlled main media then you will be out of that loop entirely. That is why the coming crash will be a shock to so many.
Will that crash have been caused by Brexit? Do me a favour; of course it won't. The crash has been in the pipeline since well before Brexit was a twinkle in Nigel Farages eye. Nige knows that too I expect. He was a City of London operative when he actually worked for a living.
So I smell a rat. It is all too convenient for the powers that be. They cause a crash with their rapacious financial behaviour, over many decades. Then they engineer a crisis with their head puppet, Cameron, calling an EU referendum that he had no need to call at all. He called it purely as a means of managing dissent in his political party, the Blue Tories. Why call a referendum and then campaign to remain? It makes no sense. The only logical reason to hold a referendum is if you want the status quo to change, and will campaign for that change.
Consider Borisconi the so called "leader" of the Brexit campaign. He was a remaindeer up until February this year. I smell another rat. Does he really want a Brexit? His first declaration after "winning" the vote was to say that there is no rush to invoke article 50, the treaty provision that will formalise the Brexit. Why would that be if he really wants Brexit.
What about the Red Tories, the so called "Labour" Party, that was conceived, and set up, by the Industrial and Financial elites all those decades ago. [It looks more and more like controlled opposition as time passes]. This is their golden opportunity surely? The Brexit decision was driven by the constituents in their heartlands. So what to they do? They have a leadership coup, driven by the Real Red Tories, the Blairites! Ha ha ha ha. Controlled opposition for sure. Blair still has a cabal in the Party; despite the fact that he is a war criminal by any reasonable definition. All very convenient for the powers that be. Looks like we will have 2 new leaders soon. Both the Blue Tories and the Red Tories will have a new face at the helm.
Who cares? Not me. These guys are all just puppets. That becomes more and more clear as time passes. Is there a heavyweight politician out there? One who has lived a real life, rather than a smooth path out of Uni, into the political wonk world, and then on to media fame. Is there? Who then?
I can't sum up without mentioning their big trigger policy: Immigration. I smell another rat. Lets consider what has happened recently. After a decade, or more, of an expanded EU, the Brits, who are tolerant friendly people, accept and welcome mass immigration from Eastern Europe. Despite the pressures on public services, housing, wage rates etc etc.
Then in the year of the Brexit campaign a few important things happen:
* A decision is taken to allow the millions of refugees from the Mid East and African wars, who are mainly in camps in Turkey, into the EU. The EU navies are sent to the Med, not to stop the flow across the sea but seemingly to facilitate it. A million refugees flood into Germany, with another million spread around the rest of the EU. How does this happen? Who decided to open the doors? Who decided that an asylum seeker has the right to live in a specific country? "I want to go to Germany". Who caused all this? We are never told, but we all know that we were never consulted. Somebody decided surely. These things don't happen by accident. The wide awake know who is responsible, but without the certainty of proof.
* A whole load of false flag operations are conducted by the deep state operatives, the "security" services. Charlie Hebdo, Paris, Orlando and more. False events, false deaths, blatant propaganda. They employ third rate scriptwriters and each event is outed as false within the first 48 hours. But all those that don't read the alternative media, the majority, have no idea about this. All these events demonise Muslims and remind people that "immigrants" are the problem.
* Negotiations between Germany and Turkey are started in the months just before the referendum. The Germans are willing to pay the Turks to close the door again. The Turks want payment and they also require open visas to the EU for their 80 million citizens! Potentially 80 million more Muslims wandering round the EU then.
Most of their controlled main media demonises all the Brexiteers as racist [some undoubtedly are]. They call us racist because we dare to question all this! The barefaced cheek of them. Did anyone ever ask us if we wanted such levels of immigration? Do we even know who decided to open the gates? Is it racist to ask these question? No of course not. Proof enough that the media are all under orders I think.
It is all starting to feel like a psyop to me. So here are my predictions:
1. The puppet politicians will do nothing to formalise the Brexit decision.
2. They will let the tsunami of economic shite wash over us all. The tsunami has been coming for decades but most people have no idea about that.
3. They will then blame everything on Brexit. Which will be a blatant lie, but which will be believed by the masses who receive all their info from their fully controlled mainstream media.
[What most people fail to realise is that the main media is NOT independent. It is actually the mouthpiece of the rich elites. So it is entirely untrustworthy and lies whenever told to. All of them lie as required by the elites. The BBC and Guardian included. They are 2 of the worst liars now. How low they have sunk]
4. There will never be a Brexit. There is a much bigger picture that is more important to the global elites. Brexit will be subsumed into their wider geopolitical game plan. Which in essence is a shock doctrine. Shock everyone into submission and then present us with their "solutions" which are already planned and ready to roll. With the global elites and their puppets ready to act in new roles.
I suspect that Brexit is the first of many such "shocks".
I hope that I'm wrong. We should know soon enough

Brexit: What does it mean?
With a postscript:
"For today, for just one day, let’s just take a moment to celebrate. Something historic happened here this week and, wring their hands as they might, not even the banksters and their political puppets and their lapdog media can wave it away. The people got a chance to speak and speak they did. They spat in the face of the globalists. Let’s raise a glass of cheer in honor of that accomplishment."
Secondly, the very people who caused this mess are now going to parade around as the heroes that will save us from it. Whatever chaos ensues from this decision, you can rest assured the globalists will try to harness it to promote their own ends, whether that be further consolidation of what remains of the EU or the bolstering of globalist institutions like the IMF, the ECB and others that pose as the saviors during the crisis.
Meanwhile, Labour fucks itself - again
"Its still the Iraq war, stupid"
Labour fucks itself - again
The usual high standard from James:
Brexit: What Does It Mean?
Congratulations, Britain! You’ve thrown off the yolk of the EUreaucrats! Now go out and celebrate!
…But before you go, we have a few things to discuss. Like the Brexit-geddon tearing its way through the markets. Or the EUpocalypse of disintegrating unions and crisis meetings. Or Soros and the hedge fund disaster vultures. Yes, I’m sorry to be that guy and ruin the festive mood, but as I noted on Friday, this is not the end of the road by any means. It’s just the start.
Obviously things are moving too quickly at the moment to live blog them all here (you can help compile the latest info in the comment section below), but here are some glimpses from the wide world of finance as of press time:
- The pound plunged to its lowest level in 31 years Friday as gold, the dollar, the yen and bitcoin surged on the news that Britain had voted to leave the EU.
- The central bankers are swooping in to save the world, with Bank of England Governor Mark Carney pledging $345 billion of liquidity and Fed Chair Old Yellen promising liquidity as needed to other central banks via existing swap lines.
- UK travel firm Thomas Cook has suspended online currency purchases and limited in-store purchases as Brits line up to change their pounds for euros.
- Stocks are down across the board with Dow Jones Futures down 700 points as of press time and Europe’s benchmark SXXP off 6.41%.
- The EU Stoxx 600 Bank Index was battered in a day of trading worse than Lehman, down 13% overall (led by majors like Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, both down 15% to record lows).
All of that sounds bad, but it’s even worse. As Larry “heckuvajob” Summers writes in yesterday’s Washington Post:
“To an extent that is underestimated in some quarters and understated in others, the world economy is far more brittle than usual because of the inability almost everywhere to lower interest rates substantially. Normally in response to incipient downturns central banks lower rates by 400 basis points or more. Nowhere do they have that kind of room. Nor is there large scope for reducing term and credit spreads given their very low levels.”
So even if the central bankers want to keep the post-Lehman funny money gravy train going, they can’t. There simply is no gas left in the tank and nowhere left to go but down. Or should that be “nowhere left to go but negative?” No, maybe it should be “nowhere left to go butmore negative!”
Never fear, though! There’s always a silver lining to every gray cloud. But in this case, that silver lining only exists for the hedge fund hyenas who are always ready to profit from disaster. Like George Soros, a man who, like the devil, has the habit of turning up whenever things are descending into chaos.
“Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name.”
Just last month Sorosswitched into gold and reduced his equities exposure. He then doubled down on that trade earlier this month. Then, earlier this week, the famed hedge fund manager penned an op-ed for The Guardian that warned Brexit would make the pound plunge and help the speculators get very rich.
He should know. This is, after all, the same man who made 1.5 billion dollars on “Black Wednesday” 1992, the day that Britain was forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (the pre-euro exchange rate integration mechanism for Europe). Of course, the pound didn’t just fall out of the ERM, it was pushed with a hefty nudge from Soros himself, who borrowed as much as 6.5 billion pounds and converted them to francs and deutschmarks in order to push up British interest rates and force a devaluation.
But all of this market turmoil is to be expected in the wake of a major event like Brexit. The real question is what is the next step in the political process now that the referendum has been decided. Unfortunately, given that we’re dealing with an institution that rejects the will of the people whenever it suits them, exactly what that next step will be is clear as mud.
We do know that departure from the EU is handled under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which says that the government of the leaving state will enter negotiations on the terms of the exit with the European Council. That process will take no more than two years…unless everyone agrees to extend the deadline. And the clock only starts ticking when the member state makes a formal request for departure to the Council. Oh, and as I noted in these pagesearlier this week the referendum is not legally binding and is opposed by a majority of MPs.
Is that all clear now? I thought not.
The plain truth is that no one knows exactly how this is going to unfold because it has never happened before. But we can make some predictions about this process without going too far out on a limb.
Firstly, the same people who were so (rightly) outraged about being governed by unelected corrupt kleptocrats in Brussels are going to be quite sanguine about being ruled by unelected inbred royalty and the unelected Prime Minister presiding over the kleptocrat Parliament that convenes at their pleasure.
Secondly, the very people who caused this mess are now going to parade around as the heroes that will save us from it. Whatever chaos ensues from this decision, you can rest assured the globalists will try to harness it to promote their own ends, whether that be further consolidation of what remains of the EU or the bolstering of globalist institutions like the IMF, the ECB and others that pose as the saviors during the crisis.
Thirdly, the globalists and the bankers that pull their strings will not go gently into that good night. Anything that can be done to preserve the status quo will be done, whether that means a literal re-vote or merely a negotiated settlement that makes the UK an EU member in all but name.
But all of these are the worries for tomorrow. For today, for just one day, let’s just take a moment to celebrate. Something historic happened here this week, and wring their hands as they might not even the banksters and their political puppets and their lapdog media can wave it away. The people got a chance to speak and speak they did. They spat in the face of the globalists. Let’s raise a glass of cheer in honor of that accomplishment."
The failure of Labour is comprehensive and total. They failed to represent their heartlands who consequently voted Brexit. They lost themselves in the London bubble and forgot about democracy; they failed to represent their constituents views.
They sided with their theoretical enemy on both the Scottish and Brexit referendums, campaigning with the Tories for both. Blue Tory, or red Tory? Neither for me, thanks very much.
The Scots were scared into compliance. But the English were not cowed. They gave them a massive, and well deserved, "fuck you".
Now they are tearing themselves apart again, driven by the Blairite scum, the Real Red Tories. Why is that? Here is one interesting take:
