  • Why we left the EU is a matter we cannot forget

    The 2016 vote to leave the EU was a momentous decision by the UK’s population.

    It clarified a position that had become clear over a long period of time.

    It wasn’t summed up in the campaigns, but found in the painstaking work that went into meetings and gatherings that didn’t have such a poignant moment in mind.

    The ethics of such a decision are summarised in three key points.

    The UK believed it could understand self-rule better than a relatively new Union that did poorly at it.

    The UK has a potential to recognise threats much better than the EU has ever been able to.

    The UK remembers its duties in a constitutional sense more so than the EU feels its own responsibilities.

    The points are technical conclusions to the concerns of many, many people here, but particularly those in our fundamental industries.

    They could see that the UK was struggling under the machinery of the EU, that didn’t produce reasons as much as answers.

    This meant it was time to reign back control, and to regain a sense of purpose in ourselves and renew our national direction.

  • Starmer is bad fodder for politics

    The pressing issues of the day have lasted long enough. The fact is Starmer isn’t capable of carrying on any further. He can’t defend a record that includes the failure to end the Dover Crossings crisis. He also can’t hide the difficulties many face in their personal budgets. It’s not unclear to the untrained eye. It’s now glaringly obvious.

    The busybodies in Parliament are failing to cover the issues the country cares about. Their platforms also indicate a distracted mindset, easily led astray by international affairs and business matters. The clumsy approach of some to defending the rights of others is thinly veiled now. Parliament isn’t a rigorous political enterprise, or a serious one.

  • Macron loses his 7th PM

    Just under a month into the job, President Macron’s seventh Prime Minister has now resigned.

    It shows a deep problem set into the heart of French politics.

    While some may wish it away as part of the era, it’s not easy to do so.

    The tumult that French people endure is not easy to embrace, and this makes it difficult to justify or to even defend leadership.

    The social discord at the heart of the problem is more than just protest, and the causes of it, but also the entanglement of migration into the very core of the jurisdiction of the French Republic.

    It’s not a straightforward matter, and French voters want the representation of it to be fair but also open.

  • The service of others is our key

    The shadowy underworld is a subterranean nightmare of criminals playing around with corruption of all kinds. They occupy our nightmares and haunt our streets with their plots to carefully disturb our quiet ways of life. This isn’t just terrorism but all types of street crime, surface level activity, and corruption at the highest points of professional life.

    The MI6 building in Vauxhall, London that serves as a focal point for all outposts.

    The work to undo it, to confront it, and to repel it yet further from our shores is supported by a whole host of clever – and careful – citizens. They serve the country by dedicating their time and skills to combatting the worst threats to our existence. They go online, hide inside, and circumnavigate the globe looking for opportunities to make us safer.

    It’s not an easy job and it carries the same risks as the many others who do it for other countries. They serve our interests in particular, support our government foremost, and uphold our ways and values above all other attempts to subvert them. This is a key role in today’s world and will prove to be long into the future.

  • Exclusive: “Mission COBRA”

    The efforts of the Army are supposed to be for the good of the country. The plans are not always clear beforehand, but the effects of it help us to live here longer. This is to our prosperity.

    However, the issue is not so clear cut. There are always suspicions – or doubts – about some missions. It happens during any period in a nations history.

    There are courts cases that handle the accusations that are either found to be true, or thrown out as interference. This may lead to vindication, or a stint in hospital as a mental inpatient.

    The most notorious – and long running – instance is “Mission COBRA”. It’s a theory that military specialists have held close to their chest. It’s because of the danger of speaking about it.

    The concept is that Government ‘Cobra’ meetings in which important issues are spoken about have a context of their own. This ‘thread’ is managed by a secret unit to use it as a pretext for attack.

    The more meetings, the greater the reasons for striking out. These such operations are clandestine and illegal, according to legal experts aware of these matters. If true, it exposes the Army as opportunistic and full of gusto.

  • Russia looks inwardly – for a moment

    For a brief moment Russia looked inwardly this last week. Following a set of regional elections, President Putin addressed the newly elected candidates. His message was plain and simple. He wants them to focus on the life of the ordinary Russian. He expects good livings standards for everyone. He regards their performance in office as vital to the success of this plan.

    “Overall, creating comfortable, favourable environments for living, working, self-fulfilment, and leisure. Not just in regional capitals, but also in small towns and rural areas. All this serves to unlock human potential, the potential of regions as a whole, and ultimately strengthens our country, ensuring its sustainable, confident development.”

    It’s a message eerily reminiscent of Soviet Russia, but it has the effects of modernity. He’s placing trust in power and in processes that flow from the Kremlin. He’s seeking to excite his new leaders – or warriors on the frontline of the Russian state – to see their corporate aims as the highest good for the country. It’s not easy as over a million Russians have now died in their pointless war, but the belief is there at least.

  • Musk delves into rape furore

    Elon Musk has offered financial aid to help launch legal action against “corrupt officials” alleged to be behind enabling or covering up rape activity.

    This bold – if controversial – move is on the back of his success in different business ventures in America such as space travel and social media.

  • Revealed: MI5’s nightmare

    It’s not often someone gets a look into MI5. It’s because it’s kept at arms length.

    This was not a good thing. It lacked scrutiny from the top. Successive governments were kept in the dark and left out in the cold.

    The troubles of the UK’s only domestic intelligence and security agency should be dealt with swiftly. It’s to ensure top flight security is provided for every citizen.

    It would protect us from serious crime, for a start.

    However, times were tough for the UK. It didn’t deliver. It had an obsession with organised crime. It ran more networks than we discovered.

    It was guilty for more lawbreaking – and suffering.

    The main problem is its network of support. These operatives didn’t focus on their work. One said, “To be born here was a curse.”

    He took advantage of his role. They took advantage of others.

    Unlike before, Agents were exposed to the elements. Many struggled with hunger. Many more with ill-health. Still more were taken hostage.

    It resulted in this because people took cover in crime.

  • PM Barnier voted down

    In a reversal of fortunes, the Prime Minister of France, Michel Barnier, has lost a vote of no confidence. It follows just under three months after his appointment by President Macron.

    The turmoil in Europe continues, with much pressure and uncertainty over the future of various Parliament’s, which are under pressure from left-leaning and right-wing political factions.

    A false agent working for the Foreign Office can be exposed. He acts as a false point of contact.

    He also masquerades as an MI5 intelligence officer but is actually a self-employed contractor.
