Careers Corroded - Cameron and Corbyn in the House of Commons

[changeling67]

Sadly, even down to popular demand, there is absolutely no chance of a second referendum on the table.  Truthfully, I didn't think it would ever truly be taken seriously - because it would be seen as a mockery to the democratic process.  We have to just sup it up and move on.  Dave has stopped sulking and emerged from his pillow fort, vowing to steer Britain through the next few months.  He allegedly believes that we have undertaken the biggest democratic vote in history and that we should be proud of our democratic proccess.

Steps have been taken to stabilise British economy.  Zero tolerance on abuse on immigrants and ethnic minorities (in reaction of course to the racist graffiti in the Polish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith this weekend.

BBC News Highlights.

• New conservative Prime Minister by September 2nd, as recommended by The 1922 Committee

• Downing Street has announced that there is a new unit established in cabinet - employing the brightest and best of the civil service to start intensive work on the British departure from the European Union.

• Mervyn King (former Governer of the Bank of England) reckons there is no reason to be particularly worried.

• Shares have fallen, but not as badly as expected.

• EU - No talks with the UK until Article 50 is invoked, which will not happen at this stage.

• No initial change in travel/goods movements or services.

• Apparently, the the UK has capital/liquid reserves.  There is 250 billion in the kitty to fund the banks and markets, more blah, blah about economic stress testing and seemingly we can withstand a scenario far worse than the one we are already undertaking.

There are questions abound re the Conseravtive party's future.  Ditto Labour's as no less than 32 of Jeremy Corbyn's cabinet have resigned - deputy Labour Leader Tom Watson has already declared that Corbyn has no authority amongst MP and faces a leadership challenge. 57 Labour candidates have asked for his resignation.

Osborne is eager to keep the stability of the economy via an address to the markets early this morning - much good that this has done him.  He is also to meet the G8 leaders and get on with his job.  There has been no sign of Boris anywhere - I presumed he was practicing his rhetoric and trying to play down the idea that he has just stuffed the British economy.  Alas, he was seen playing cricket with Earl Spencer over the weekend, Good job, Boris - out for a duck (!)

And the sun sets on another difficult day, yet there is a sense that SOME form of structure is being put into place.  However, there are many people who feel that we are on the brink of absolute collapse more catastrophic than it first appears. What else can we do, but to wait and see how this pans out :-/

Ho Hum..... business not quite as usual... blunder from here to there, but now it's in a cellar with no lights and a blindfold on all contenders.

Hmm - the media have pulled apart the 'Keep Calm & Carry On' ethos that Cameron was banging on about yesterday. Saying that, there are a few who are at least trying to rethink our strategies. Interesting article from Owen Jones from The Guardian today - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/28/succumb-brexit-disaster-save-future-referendum-fallout

Yes, saw this... and my goodness... why EVER didn't both the Inners and Outers even TALK (did they THINK??) about these aspects... there are so many more deeper effects that are going to reverberate for years and YEARS to come.

It sounded easy and simple and clear enough to say - "I'm walking out... I'm Leaving you!" - like a flurry of spite ending in a long and acrimonious divorce (ahem I should know! but I HAD thort mine out - teehee) But when you look at the rebounds and ricochets... this is going to go on and on and on.

I'm already sick of the total spin Camercon managed to put on his 'last visit' --- what he said first on saying goodbye yesterday turned this morning (or last evening) into something completely different (and 'goodly upbeat' for HIM... getting to be like Teflon Tony! --- gaaahh)

I wonder if it will end up with the UK, Great Britain, Royaume Uni... becoming truly Little England all alone out there peering in the pretty windows.

(the England football club didn't do that well either! ooops..oh dear! )

Here's another link Andrew sent me from RT - Russian TV but they have some super talk shows... and this international lot (apart from the man in PLYMOUTH!! teehee) lot are looking at the Global view and effects.

I'm sitting out here on the fence or in the yard... just having to wait and see, as I wasn't allowed a vote (the UK have completely chucked me out - totally... I have NO contact with the UK apart from my pension which they can't touch as it is MINE paid for by ME! (and its too small to be taxed, tho they did take half of it for four years until I bashed their heads in!)

So... looks like I shall have to get my French Nationality and end up with another Passport... which I wanted to do so long ago.

Tis going to be an interesting if worrying few years to come. I wonder who out of the proposed bunch of Camercon replacements it will be. ? Seriously I'd like Boris... he at least is intelligent and CAN be very seriously serious. He's not always a buffoon. Listening to the choice so far this morning... I nearly didn't want to finish my brekker!

Bless you Rosie... tis lovely to chat -- no one here can care less... obviously, a rural hamlet in France - 'ahh.. les Anglais...'

Yes - a lot of champagn-swilling elite that have been firmly dumped on their arse. So have the rest of us, though. Never offer the public democracy. especially the EU as per your link - the EU will have to 'stamp' that out.

'Best of Both Worlds' - not much was made of that here. Very quiet on that front.

Re Iceland - I think they were brilliant!
