Climate Change and Who Pays for it.

It's always struck me as odd that the poorest in society are paying extra taxes and tariffs to pay for climate change. Money which eventually goes to the pockets of the rich in the form of carbon trading and tariffs for corporations and rents for landowners with windfarms.

Not one poor person benefits.

But isn't it the rich, the owners of the big corporations and companies that belched out and continue to spew out massive amounts of carbon that should be paying?

Aren't they the ones that took huge profits and therefore benefitted and continue to benefit from the big corporations? The poor didn't benefit from those corporations, they didn't see those profits. No, they went upwards, which is exactly the direction the carbon taxes should be heading now. Payback.

Why are the poor paying?

Why aren't the rich paying?

Just saying....

More Paralysis in Parliament.

Ok, it's quite clear as has been shown over the past 3 years that a majority on MPs in Parliament don't want Brexit.

So now they have voted to take no-deal off the table and commanded the Prime Minister to ask the EU for an extension and to accept any length of extension the EU decrees.

This is not Democracy. The people voted to leave and parliament are voting against their wishes.

Normally, the way to resolve a deadlock between the Majority of MPs and the Government of the day is a vote of no confidence. If the Government loses then normally an election is triggered.

But not in this case.

The wreckers in Parliament voting against Brexit know they will lose their seats in an election. Thanks to the fixed term parliament act, enacted by David Cameron and Nick Clegg, the government have to ask Parliament to agree to an election. Of course the self-serving MPs won't trigger a process that will end up with them losing their jobs.

So there is stalemate.

Does the Prime minister go cap in hand to the EU as directed? Or does he sit on his hands? Does he face MPs with defiance and say "I won't do it and if you want me gone, vote me out = I dare you!"

Or will some situation, some crisis arise that will postpone Parliament and enable Brexit by default? Will Boris Johnson's plane or car fail to start? Will he catch a cold and pull a sickie?

Time will tell.

The Madness continues.... Parliament at Stalemate Again.

Today Parliament is in stalemate. The government lost the vote to take no-deal off the table. As a result of losing that vote and the loss of a number of MPs due to them having the whip withdrawn, the government now wants to trigger a general election to settle the deadlock.

But labour will not agree and are going to vote against having a general election... the election they have been dreaming of since Theresa May's disastrous election. It's amazing how spineless the labour leadership is at the moment. No conviction at all. Give them the opportunity they want and they run away from it. That's no leadership at all.

So we are at stalemate. There is deadlock. The government cannot proceed without a majority and the MPs are refusing to accept a general election.

So all Boris Johnson has to do is keep returning and asking for a general election and the MPs can keep saying no... until the 1st of November, then we are out of the EU with no deal.

Works for me...

The ball is in your court Jeremy Corbyn....

I do like Boris' tactics. The focus is entirely on those MPs who are trying to hamstring the Government. The public know who exactly is to blame for the lack of progress on Brexit. Given an election, the people know who exactly who not to vote for...

In other news, a court in Scotland has confirmed the Proroguing of Parliament for the Queen's speech is entirely legal. Entirely predictable.
