Brexit Failure in the Offing?

Posted on 8 June 2018 by eehines

Great Britain’s Labour Party is about to offer legislation that looks a great deal like it [emphasis added].

It shall be a negotiating objective of Her Majesty’s Government to ensure the United Kingdom has full access to the internal market of the European Union, underpinned by shared institutions and regulations, with no new impediments to trade and common rights, standards and protections as a minimum.

There’s very little difference between this and Remain. Labour is suggesting Britain’s abject surrender in the Brexit negotiations with the Moghuls of Brussels.

Maybe not failure. Maybe this is Labour’s betrayal of the British people, who voted to leave the EU because they wanted out of the EU.

Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Deal

Posted on 8 June 2018 by eehines

“Senior European officials” are sad because the deal might be in jeopardy. They even wrote a letter to President Donald Trump, worrying that

their efforts to save the Iranian nuclear accord by maintaining major trade and investment with Tehran are buckling in the face of planned US sanctions.

My heart bleeds. These worthies shouldn’t be trying to trade with a terrorist-supporting nation bent on getting nuclear weapons. Especially since Iran will use those weapons to fulfill its long-standing commitment to destroy Israel, and it will sell such weapons to its terrorist clients for them to use…on Europe as well as on us.
