Dear All
If there is anything that is "dead in water", it
is Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP’s attempt to stop Brexit, Brexit is a battle
lost, it was lost well before the 23 rd June 2016, and here we are 2018, and
still denial of fact.
If you watch the circus that is politics, you can help
feeling disappointed, disappointed in the lack of choice, the lack of talent
and the lack of vision, in the past in this country, we had great politicians,
now we have for the most part a collection of dross.
After WW2; we have seen the greatest achievements in this
country in terms of social reforms, like the creation of the NHS and the
Welfare. Pretty much at every election, this is celebrated as part of what it
means to be British. The question in recent years is what does it mean to be
British, there are several constructs, the various parties have political views;
the public have different view which I would argue is based on community.
What was Brexit about?
Brexit at its heart about sovereignty, we as a sovereign
people making our own choices, electing our own leaders, and importantly
holding them to account, and the need to hold politicians to account by the
public is more vital than ever. The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has seized on a leaked
UK Government analysis concluded Britain
would be worse off whatever deal is struck with Brussels .
So, what is a leaked UK Government analysis means,
it is an opinion, and everyone has an opinion, a question you need to ask, what
price is freedom? People through-out history have paid the highest price with
their lives, we in the UK
by gaining our freedom are being off cheap.
Europe’s childless leaders which Nicola Sturgeon is one have
no reason to worry about the future much like Angela Merkel, Dutch Prime
Minister Mark Rutte and the French president Emmanuel Macron, Swedish Prime
Minister Stefan Löfven and Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel.
German philosopher Rüdiger Safranski wrote:
"for the childless, thinking in terms of the
generations to come loses relevance. Therefore, they behave more and more as if
they were the last and see themselves as standing at the end of the chain".
For someone like Nicola Sturgeon, she is trying to be a
footnote in history, what she doesn’t realise yet, she is already irrelevant,
history has moved passed her. There is no “watershed moment” in the Brexit
process because of one simple inescapable fact, that fact is money.
Money makes the world go round, and billions command people’s
attentions especially when rich people feel that their prospects are
threatened. So, there will be a Brexit deal that everyone can live with in the
short term, Sturgeon declaring:
“Time is running out and the chaos in Downing
Street must end. Theresa May must face down the hard
Brexiteers around her and put jobs and living standards front and centre of the
Brexit negotiations by remaining in the single market and customs union.”
The single market and customs union are not in the national
and economic security interests of the UK , this has been stated time and
time again; there will be no EU membership by the back door. If there was chaos
as Sturgeon describes, then it is highly unlikely that the PM would be fly out
on a three-day trade mission to China .
If the chaos is Boris Johnson’s attempt to be PM, then he is in for a long and unfruitful
wait.
If there is a transition period via the membership of the
European Economic Area for tactical reasons then hard Brexiteers need to think
very carefully about what they are doing, economic stability is vital to the UK , country
before party must prevail. Whether people like it or not Brexit is going to
happen, the price is worth paying for our freedom, when chaos erupts in Europe , we will be as we have always been an island
fortress.
Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, told BBC
Radio 4's Today programme:
"The timing in this is highly suspicious in the sense
that suddenly in the midst of all this conversation about the European Union we
have a leaked document. But,I would observe that almost every single forecast
coming from Government, and most of the international organisations, has been
completely wrong. We should take this with a pinch of salt,"
The UK
will have a successful Brexit because in the end, the men in the grey suits,
the money men want continuity in the markets something which Nicola Sturgeon
cannot achieve within Scotland
as the country slides under her failed leadership.

Sadly I don't see the fact she's not a mother has anything very much to do with her actions.
We've witnessed any number of despots who are only interested in staying in power who have many children. The guy in South Africa, that chap in Zimbabwe, Libya, Iraq. The list is endless.
Yes Hitler was sprogless, but so too was Heath and now May.
Nope I can't give that as an excuse for her obvious intent to cling to power with all the trappings that entails, nor of her clear intent to wish for more.
What we think of her and her party is completely irrelevant to Ms. Sturgeon. She has no serious threat internally and despite her woeful incompetence as a constituency MP, she will most likely still be reelected by them.
If she had any real morals, she'd have passed the baton at the last GE. She didn't and it's very likely she won't at the next Assembly ones.
You're correct in every other sense George, but on the child issue, that's giving her an excuse that's not deserved.
She was before and she is now a very determined and ambitious individual. And self serving to her core.

Sturgeon reminds me of a haemorrhoid; ‘who will rid us of this troublesome lump’
