After Christmas, everything is as before Christmas, the Potemkin traffic jam into Dover, no ferry for the hard exit and Benedict Cumberbatch attracts on film in the civil war.
The turkeys are eaten, the punch is drunk, and the family dispute. Where a subject is likely to have been the British largely taboo. Because discussions about the Brexit would probably have led to a Corrugated enter promptings and divorces. The country is after the holidays that is so divided as before. New year, new luck? Certainly not for the Brexit.
What, then, had thought of Theresa May, when she shifted for the middle of December, the referendum on the coming week? Now this is to 15 on. January take place. The Prime Minister had hoped that the deputies about Christmas will have time for silent Reflection and their resistance against the Brexit-would regret the Deal. Add to this that the clock is ticking ever more vocal: It is 80 days are just up to B-Day – the Countdown is on.
However, contrary to the hopes of the head of government has done about Christmas, nothing. No one has in the meantime changed his mind. The Brexiteers seem to be rather more stubborn than ever before: Nigel Dodds, the Northern Irish DUP complains incessantly about the “Backstop poison” in may’s agreement. And Boris Johnson is confused, once again, his own opinion of the British voters: A hard Brexit is exactly what the citizens would have the 2016 vote, he claims in the “Telegraph”.
If it is assumed that the Brexiteers among the British Conservatives have been fighting for decades, with a long breath against the EU – why should you change now with the goal in sight, suddenly their opinion? And Mays special cocktail reception for the critics and doubters in the Downing Street could not help as well.
Benedict Cumberbatch and the civil war to the Brexit campaign
The TV has a Problem: Everything seems to be so much more entertaining than in real life. Or they really had so much fun at the “Vote Leave” campaign in the summer of 2016? Star-actor Benedict Cumberbatch at least pretends to be in the filming of Channel 4, Dominic Cummings, the former Director of the “Vote Leave”. He is regarded as the driving force of the organization and is likely to have been flattered by the cast enormously. Because the Portrait was fairly positive. Cummings is crazy a bit, but politically brilliant.
In the Bus to the Brexit: advertising for the TV movie “The Uncivil War”
He was the man who led the opt-out campaign with the help of innovative use of data and ruthless Propaganda for the victory. One is reminded of the manipulations of Cambridge Analytica and the promise of a campaign Bus, according to the Brexit 350 million per week would be for the health system, the NHS, left. It was a lie, but it worked.
Cummings also invented the Slogan “take back control”, which proved to be one of the most effective, if largely empty anti-European slogans. The dubious Brexit-financier Aaron Banks and his buddy, Nigel Farage, of course, also in the Film. Both with beer bottles, and self-intoxicated like a couple of school boys who are planning a particularly nasty prank against the teachers.
All of this was pretty entertaining, distracted, but somehow the reality of the real Brexit-drama that’s happening right now in London. It has led to the Implosion of British politics and public life in the country.
Hard Brexit I: 89 trucks, and an artificial dam
The government had 150 trucks, but in the end, only 89, and a local garbage truck, also wanted to play like. At sunrise the caravan of the disused runway of the airport at Manston in East Kent in the direction of Dover in the movement. The Exercise should be simulated in the manner of a manoeuvre, the consequences of a hard Brexit, if new border controls would impede on the other side of the channel, the traffic to the ferries. The whole cost of 50,000 pounds of taxpayers ‘ money – a mere trifle.
British truck drivers in a traffic jam-Test
Because there were only a few dozen Trucks, and Kent was still able to haul in the Christmas holidays, the column pretty freely on the country roads. Perhaps the sample was not really true to life, as normal working days car the ferry port of Dover to happen around 10,000 load. It is a Potemkin was cher, a traffic jam, and an elaborate Exercise in creating a false impression – that the government was prepared for the worst. The only question is, whether the garbage trucks as a Symbol for the Brexit along for the ride, or just for fun.
Hard Brexit II: The Treaty on a non-existent ferry
Chris Grayling is considered to be the total dolt in the British government, which is generally not populated by intellectuals or political giant. Even by the Standards of this Cabinet, but his bad decisions lead to terrible bad press. The Minister should now rent as a preparation for a hard Brexit additional ferries. This would cross in the case of various British ports from the English channel to relieve the pressure on Dover. One of these contracts in value of nearly 14 million pounds went to a company called “Seaborne Freight”.
The government gave the order for the case of a hard Brexit more truck ferries to rent
The company owns, but in fact, not a single ferry, and also has trades no experience in transport. Grayling defended the company as a Start-up, the other you call a number of air. Your terms and conditions must have taken the Manager of the Seaborne delivery of a Pizza service, because it is, among other things, fraudulent delivery orders. Or anyone ever sent a not ordered truck ferry back?
The Labour politician Andrew Adonis reported, according to British officials, large parts of the four billion pounds, which has provided the government a hard Brexit would be used for “shady, panic, or simply improper” spending. In the UK seems to currently apply: Take the money and run, as fast as you can!
The Brexit and the car of James Bond
Also, Aston Martin has now published its contingency plans for the Brexit. The company provides extra a new boss for supplies and want to in the future, parts of the EU, if necessary, to fly in. “We were never so far from it, to understand where it all ends,” says CEO Andy Palmer.
The Aston Martin of James Bond is the dream of every British car Fans – this Traditional company fears Brexit
Overall, sales of cars in Britain fell last year to 7%. The uncertainty about the future of diesel vehicles and the Brexit are considered to be causes. The car manufacturer, with around 850,000 jobs-one of the last surviving large-scale industries in the country. The business Association feared that a hard Brexit could jeopardize the future of the British car industry is existential.
Brexit-quote of the week
“Sado-unicorn-ISM” is the term Ian Dunt of Politico now for Theresa May has invented. He says not to confuse your continuing to attempt the impossible solutions for the Brexit control (observers, “unicorns”) and “self-mutilation with a strategy”. In its recent Volte the Prime Minister is trying, once again, the Irish Backstop spiriting. The EU should officially promise that a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom would, in any case, until the end of 2021 ready. Then special arrangements would have to be applied to the Irish border, never. And so May try again and again to conjure up such unicorns out of your empty hat. You should succeed once, it would be really magic.
