MORE SCAREMONGERING - AIRBUS WARNING OF NO DEAL, SPARKING A TRADE WAR

Airbus chief executive Tom Enders has issued yet another stark warning about the effect a no-deal Brexit would have on the aviation giant’s UK business.  In a video message, Enders urged Britain’s politicians not to listen to “the Brexiteers’ madness which asserts that, because we have huge plants here, we will not move and we will always be here. They are wrong”. He said Airbus, one of Britain’s biggest manufacturers with 14,000 employees in the UK, would be forced to make “potentially very harmful decisions” for its UK business in the event of a no-deal scenario. (As reported by City A.M.)

British people do not like being threatened, Mr Enders.    The weakness of the Government's policy is starkly revealed.  We no longer build complete aircraft as we used to.  Building and transporting wings to the EU is not good for us nor the environment.  Mr Enders will not be able to change his methods of working for a number of years.  In the meantime we could be designing and building complete aircraft. Get Britain working again.

There are a vast number of Brexiteers Mr Enders, 17,410,742 to be precise.  Are they all mad, Mr Enders?  Mr Enders is the mad one, along with all foreigners who threaten us and seek to tell us what we should do.  Mr Enders is totally irresponsible by starting what looks like a trade war.  Mr Enders said, "it was a 'disgrace' that firms could still not plan for Brexit" He should have known better.  It is his behaviour which is a disgrace.

He should blame the EU not the UK. The EU has dragged out the negotiations for two and a half years and we are not even half way through the process. That is why we must leave the EU on March 29th without a deal. We simply cannot put up with all the argy-bargy any longer, which will continue ad infinitum  if we don't leave the EU immediately.  We need to make progress, to use a political term and disentangle ourselves urgently from the EU. 

WHO IS GOING TO IMPOSE A CUSTOMS BARRIER IN IRELAND?

In the event of a NO DEAL the EU is saying that there will have to be a customs barrier on the border in Ireland.  So who is going to impose it and man it?  It won't be the British.  It will have to be the southern Irish, won't it Mr Veradkar.  

PLAN B - NO DEAL

A NO DEAL puts the Government in the driving seat.  After March 29th the Government would be able to negotiate its terms, with the EU on the back foot.   

SLIMEY TOAD HAMMOND TRIES TO KILL NO DEAL

So Hammond is up to his tricks again.  He has threatened to get NO DEAL taken off the table. 

NO DEAL - WHAT THE BRITISH PEOPLE REALLY WANT

The parliamentary leaders say they know what is best for this country and that they will protect jobs and the economy and unite the country.  The politicians want to protect their own jobs and argue themselves into oblivion. They say nothing that would lift the spirits of the British people and raise their hopes for the future and their children.  There have never been times that have been more creative than two world wars when our backs were to the wall.  These were periods when the British spirit manifested itself with a creative inventiveness never exceeded.  Radar, the Computer, the Jet Engine, the Spitfire and Hurricane, the Lancaster, and a host of other inventions and activities were hallmarks of what it meant to be British.   We all pulled together.  After World War II it was no different.  There was the Comet, Concorde, Nuclear Power, the Black Knight Rocket to mention a few of the many industrial and other projects that were symbolic of being British.  We can bring that spirit back.   

NO DEAL - NO RISK OF PARLIAMENT

The longer this goes on the more I want to leave the EU on March 29 and not run the risk of all the chaotic parliamentary bluster that will inevitably lead to doom - a greater risk than any other. The same view appears to be true for the majority of people.  It isn't just the Conservative party who are at fault but the whole of parliament who are responsible for the mess.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION - TO PROPOSE THAT MEMBER STATES GIVE UP VETO ON TAX LEGISLATION

Next week, the European Commission will try to convince the remaining 27 member states of the EU to give up their veto on tax legislation from Brussels. It is a delicate demand and one that will raise concerns in Dublin. Tax has long been one of the most jealously guarded areas of national sovereignty. As a result, EU-wide tax law can only be passed by unanimity, with the active support of every member government. (As reported by the Telegraph today).

Countries will lose the ability to block EU rules. Yet another reason to disentangle ourselves from the EU interfering idiots!!!

SHINZO ABE - ALL TAKE

Shinzo Abe only sees the UK as a gateway to Europe.  Make no mistake.  This is a selfish reason for wanting to invest in the UK.  That is why the Japanese want May's DEAL.  My experience is that the Japanese only seek to take what technology they can from the UK (and other countries) and use it or make it themselves.   The last computer company in the UK, AIM of Cambridge, went to Japan.  They will complain like hell about a British product and then proceed to make it themselves.  That is my actual experience.  The Government and the City have allowed other countries to ravage us. We need to bring development back under our control.  The only answer is for the Government and the City to plough its money into industry.  We need to build our industries from the 20% level that it is at, to at least 50%.   

DOMINIC GRIEF - WHAT A PLONKER!!!

Plan B indeed!  You have been told Mr Grief.  Don't you understand?  Are you really that thick?  Coming from a gas bag that has never made anything or created anything, who doesn't understand the British need to make things, what else should we expect? There is only May's plan or NO DEAL.  Be free Mr Grief!  Break-off the shackles of the EU. 

EDUCATE THE BRITISH

University heads are warning a no-deal Brexit is "one of the biggest threats" the institutions have ever faced. Higher education leaders have written to MPs to say it is "no exaggeration" to warn that it would take universities "decades to recover". They say it would undermine scientific research and threaten universities' £21bn contribution to the UK economy. (as reported by the BBC today).

How wet can people get! The University heads should focus on educating British students. They are more concerned about their pay packets that are inflated by vast numbers foreign students, in effect pricing British students out.  As for research, we would eventually do much better to be independent, and not reliant on foreign academics or foreign investment.  A NO DEAL BREXIT is not a big threat but salvation for this country.    

GOVE THE MOANER - WHAT A WET!

Farmers and food producers face "considerable turbulence" if the UK leaves the EU with no deal, Environment Secretary Michael Gove has said. He told the Oxford Farming Conference it was a "grim and inescapable fact" there would be tariffs on exports and new sanitary and other border checks. While "not perfect", he said Theresa May's Brexit deal would protect market access and provide economic certainty. (as reported today by the BBC)

BUT WHAT ABOUT TRADE FROM THE EU TO THE UK IN THE EVENT OF A NO DEAL.  You haven't thought this through, have you Mr Gove?  You see it works both ways with the UK imposing tariffs on imported goods.  Who will be the big losers then Mr Gove?  As for border checks Mr Gove, I would be happy to slow down the import of foreign goods many of which are inferior.  Inspection needs to be stepped-up to prevent inferior goods appearing in the market place, as they do.  And as for food and other standards, they all need improvement over those of the EU, never mind about preserving minimum standards.  We have become too complacent about EU standards, and the EU label.      

A MANAGED NO DEAL

The financial expert Ruth Lee believes we should go for a managed No Deal.  I think this is an excellent way out of the present impasse.  We leave the EU on March 29th and then any negotiation can begin.  We will be completely free to choose the way forward, cherry-picking as we go.  The EU countries will be desperate to continue trade.

COME MARCH 29TH WE COULD BE FREE

AND DO WHATEVER WE WANTED

WHY DO THE POLITICIANS WINGE ABOUT BUSINESS?

The MPs winge about the need to support business (for fear of losing their seat).  But they are not really concerned about British business.  Their concerns are about international business. They say that goods should arrive just-in-time for us to put the pieces together, and never mind about the environment.  Does it occur to the politicians that we could manufacture complete items (we used to) avoiding the transport of goods across continents, reducing pollution and traffic congestion at the ports, and boosting jobs in design and manufacture in Britain?    

WHY IS CORBYN SO CAGEY ABOUT ANOTHER REFERENDUM?

Does Corbyn realise that very many of his labour voters want to get out of the EU?  Of course he does.  They would prefer NO DEAL to one that kept us tied to the EU.  There are many, probably most of all voters at the time, who understood that leaving the EU meant there would be no need for a DEAL.  Dealing just didn't feature.

NO DEAL - THE BEST

Come March the 29th, NO DEAL would be the best result for the British people.  We need to get quickly into gear without the delay of what would be an indeterminate and lengthy transition period.  The EU is going to publish their view of  NO DEAL later this month, no doubt to attempt to frighten us.

MAY AND THE CABINET ARE WET REMAINERS

THE BACKSTOP - IRRELEVANT TO BREXIT

We never heard of the backstop when we voted in the Referendum.  Our minds were focussed on one thing - getting out of the EU, an extra layer of bureaucratic government that imposed intolerable burdens on us.

An expert said on the Business programme this morning, "we need to make more".  This has been my view all along, a view hardly expressed by any government in the recent past.  Neither the Government nor opposition have said what they are going to do for our industry.  They prefer to argue, and wallow in irrelevances, and not see the opportunities that Brexit gives. We must get our manufacturing out of the doldrums, representing only 25% of our economy.   

A GENERAL ELECTION LOOMS - ARE YOU READY?

Tory remainer Dominic Grieve has thrown a spanner in the works.  The only way out for the Tories is a General Election with a PRO LEAVE  leader.  

YOUNGER PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING A NO DEAL

May and Corbyn frequently talk about protecting British jobs.  Yet over the years parties of all persuasions have overseen the destruction of real jobs.  Many firms have been shut-down.  British industry is at its weakest.  We have lost big employers such as GEC, AEI, English Electric, Marconi, Alfred Herbert, Courtaulds, Massey Fergusson, many car makers and literally hundreds of others  (with names which younger people probably don't remember). We have gone from a large manufacturing economy, competing with the likes of Germany and Japan, to one where manufacturing is only 25% of the total in the country.  The other 75% is in service industries where jobs can be taken away much more easily.  That is the situation which successive Governments have put us in.  A NO DEAL BREXIT, WILL FORCE THE GOVERNMENT, EMPLOYERS, THE CITY, AND OURSELVES TO CHANGE TACK. 

So what have you got to say about this Mrs May and Mr Corbyn!!!!     

WE VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU

LEAVING THE EU MEANS LEAVE.  WE WANT TO GET RID OF THE EU WITH ITS LIBERAL BUREAUCRATIC BURDEN THAT WEIGHS HEAVILY ON THE BACKS OF BRITISH CITIZENS.  WE WANT FREEDOM: TO MAKE OUR OWN LAWS WITH OUR OWN STANDARDS; TRADE WITH WHOEVER; THINK FOR OURSELVES; DESIGN, MAKE AND TEST OUR OWN PRODUCTS AS WE ONCE DID; DO OUR OWN SCIENCE; RUN OUR OWN FARMS; CARRY OUT OUR OWN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS; OPERATE OUR OWN HEALTH SERVICE; TRANSPORT OUR OWN GOODS; BUILD OUR OWN COMPUTER SYSTEMS; SEND UP OUR OWN ROCKETS AND SATELLITES; BUILD OUR OWN CARS AND PLANES;  RUN OUR UNIVERSITIES TO EDUCATE OUR OWN CHILDREN. WE WILL PAY OUR OWN WAY.  WE WILL NOT BE DEPENDENT ON EU HANDOUTS OR "INVESTMENT" BY OTHER COUNTRIES.  WE WILL RESTORE THE ECONOMY TO WHAT IT WAS - A BALANCED ECONOMY - 50% MANUFACTURING, 50% SERVICES. 

27 CAN'T AGREE - WHAT ARE WE GETTING INTO?

HELL ON EARTH !!!!

NO DEAL - NO BRAINER

We have wasted more than two years already since the Referendum.  If we accept May's deal, how many more years are we going to waste?   We should leave the EU now, and get on with earning our living.  We voted for an immediate withdrawal from the EU.  We certainly did not vote for the never-ending wrangling by the Labour party and some members of the Government.  Parliament is on course to rubbish the result of the Referendum and walk over the people who voted.  This is just not good enough.   

BARNIER - KING CANUTE

STAY CALM EVERYBODY WHILE THE TSUNAMI ROLLS IN.  MAY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS WALKING INTO. 

START WITH A CLEAN SHEET (NO DEAL)

NO DEAL.

WHEN WE VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU

OVER TWO YEARS AGO, THERE WASN'T A WORD ABOUT ANY NEGOTIATIONS WHATSOEVER OR ANY DISCUSSION OF DEALS, MRS MAY.  SHE HAS IT WRONG.  IT WAS TAKEN FOR GRANTED THAT WE WOULD SIMPLY LEAVE.  IN EFFECT WE VOTED FOR NO DEALING.  BREXIT MEANS NO DEALING AND NO DEAL.  "DEALING" WITH THE EU WAS NOT IN THE THOUGHTS OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE.  

WE WANTED OUT FROM A HEAVILY BUREAUCRATIC EU THAT LET-IN FOREIGN NATIONALS AT A STAGGERING LEVEL.  AS POPULATIONS INCREASE I AND MOST OTHERS MUST DREAD TO THINK WHAT LEVEL OF IMMIGRATION WE WILL FACE WITH FLOODS COMING FROM AFRICA AND WAR-TORN MUSLIM COUNTRIES.  

WE WANTED TO GET BACK TO A BALANCED ECONOMY WITH MUCH MORE MANUFACTURING, LIKE GERMANY AND JAPAN.  WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE MERELY ASSEMBLERS OF PARTS REQUIRING TRANSPORT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, WHICH DON'T FIT TOGETHER.  

MAY SPEAKS WITH A FORKED TONGUE

MAY - BLOODY-MINDED AND BLINDED

ALL THE LOST INDUSTRIES

Parliament has debated Brexit many times.  Today they showed that they were concerned about people's jobs.  The weakness of our position is reflected by the politicians insistence on protecting jobs to keep-in with their voters.  The politicians are hypocritical. Successive governments have allowed the sell-off of a vast number of our businesses.  Foreign companies now own those businesses. Manufacture of our products is split between countries.  And all we have is the city.  Mrs May understands the city. Her husband works in it.  It hasn't traditionally supported British Industry.  If we stay in the EU real jobs can all be taken away.  There is a deep desire in the country to break free from the EU and get back to original designing, making, testing, and selling reliable British made products made by British-owned companies.   

MORE SCAREMONGERING!!!

The Telegraph Brexit  report today:

"!The potentially catastrophic implications of having no Brexit deal on data for the City of London and financial centres across the EU were laid bare at a gathering of financial experts at Chatham House on Monday."

Yet more scaremongering by a minority of 'experts' who have a vested interest in remaining in the EU.    

BROWN WAS HIS USUAL GAS BAG SELF TODAY

HE ADDED TO THE EXISTING CONFUSION OF THE POLITICIANS ON BREXIT.  LIKE MAJOR, HE JUST HAD TO STICK HIS OAR IN. FOR A LONG TIME HE FREQUENTLY REPEATED THE WORDS LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM.  I WONDERED WHEN IT WOULD END.

WHAT BROWN AND MANY LABOUR POLITICIANS DON'T REALISE IS WHY THERE WERE SO MANY LABOUR SUPPORTERS WHO VOTED LEAVE AFTER EXPERIENCING THE EU.  SO COME ON BROWN, CORBYN AND KIER, SAY WHY!!!


 

I AM SICK OF SEEING ALL OUR POLITICIANS BEING PISSED AROUND BY BRUSSELS

IT IS CLEAR THAT BRUSSELS JUST WANT TO PISS ALL OVER US.  NO DEAL IS BETTER THAN A BAD DEAL IN THE WORDS OF THE PM.  THE ONLY DEAL ON OFFER IS A BAD DEAL.  VERADKAR, VERADKAR, VERADKAR!!!  HE GIVES ME BELLY ACHE.  BUT BARNIER AND TUSK - I GIVE UP!!!

RUMPLE STILT SKIN CORBYN STAMPED HIS FOOT IN VAIN

Today, Corbyn reminded me of the angry old man in the story.  He seems to think the if he shouts loud enough and stamps his foot in his anger that the electorate will listen to him.  He certainly isn't fit to be a leader.   

HAMMOND - CAN'T SAY YES OR NO

MAY'S DISGUSTING TACTICS - SCARE THE PEOPLE TO DEATH!!!

With her blessing she has knowingly released a torrent of information designed to frighten the British people into submitting to her Brexit plans.  

NO DEAL - THE ONLY WAY TO BE FREE OF THE EU

CHUCK MAY

I am disgusted with May.  She now apparently wants to delay our leaving the EU for another lost year. She says that this idea has 'appeared'.  I have to ask from whom if not Mrs May.  This Remainer must go and be replaced with someone who can talk straight. She is awkwardly stubborn.   

CHUCK BARNIER, CHUCK TUSK, CHUCK THE EU!!!!

EVERYONE IS SICK AND TIRED WITH THE ARGUMENTS OVER BREXIT

LET AN ELECTION SORT IT OUT.   I AM CONVINCED THAT THE PARTY SUPPORTING BREXIT WILL WIN A LANDSLIDE VICTORY.

F35 LIFT SYSTEM - A CRYING SHAME

SO WE CAN ONLY PROVIDE THE LIFT SYSTEM FOR THE F35 ENGINE OF AN AMERICAN MADE AIRCRAFT.  WE ONCE HAD THE BRITISH MANUFACTURED VERTICAL TAKE-OFF FIGHTER JET WITH ITS BRITISH PEGASUS ENGINE.  THIS IS ONE GOOD REASON TO GET OUT OF THE EU.  WE NEED TO THINK FOR OURSELVES. 

NO DEAL IS A DEAL

No deal means we have a deal because there is nothing to stop us trading under WTO rules.  Let the EU chase us for our business.  They undoubtedly will.  For example, do you think BMW, Mercedes and all the other EU companies who want to sell their goods in Britain, will sit on their hands and do nothing?  They will create merry hell with Barnier and the EU parliament.

SLAVES OF BEZOS

The closing-down of major stores is due to globalisation, and in particular Amazon.  People just shrug their shoulders.  It seems most of us are to become slaves of this great big monster.  The government is to blame for letting it happen.  Just order everything from Amazon.  I hate it. 

WAS BORIS RIGHT?

Our faces communicate our thoughts.  But we are barred from seeing the faces of many Muslim women.  They are a mystery.  We do not know if they are happy, sad, angry, or whatever.  One thinks the worst, that they are malevolent.  They are black non-entities, misfits in our modest tradition.  I question their beliefs just as I do the beliefs of everyone else.  To advertise their beliefs from afar in such a way, I find offensive.  I find it offensive that anyone, of any belief system, should dress to display that belief. 

Boris was right to raise the issue, but he should have argued in favour of banning a form of dress that is alien to this country. 

MAY DOESN'T TRUST ANYONE

May does not trust Dominic Raab.  She cannot delegate and leave people to get on with their job.  The statement of Raab that there is a possibility no deal must have been too much for her.  He will go the same way as Johnson, Davis, and others.  Her management of people is that of a dictatorial woman who will not let go of her ideas.  It is time for a general election.  The people will decide which way they want the country to go.  My view is that we should come out of the EU now.  Trump is right about one thing at least.  He supports core US businesses that have been neglected for years.  Unfortunately, our own politicians don't get this.

NO DEAL IS THE BEST DEAL FOR BRITAIN

This gives Britain the total freedom that the referendum result implied.  If we want a deal then let it be like the one Japan recently negotiated with the EU.  If Japan can do it why can't we.  In any case Japan is nothing more than a backdoor for Chinese exports.  I recently bought a calculator thinking that it was supposedly of Japanese manufacture.  But lo and behold the product says it was made in China.  So many products that purport to be made by many non-Chinese companies turn out to be made in China. 

We do need the freedom to build our manufacturing base again.  How many new complete aeroplanes exhibited  at Farnborough were built in the UK?   None!  We shouldn't be merely making wings for the EU.  

There are belated signs of a small rocket base in Scotland.  But once upon a time we had our own large rocket which was sold to the French.  The rocket engine was tested at Ansty not far from where I live. 

Middle England weeps over the loss of industries, to the depth of its core.  So think about that Mrs May and Mr Corbyn!!!  

There are no policies from either party to revive British industry. I mean British owned industries which we can all take pride in.

MAY SHOULD TAKE A LONG TERM VIEW OF WHAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE BRITISH PEOPLE

May is a slave to short-terminism.  She cannot see beyond the next election.  She cannot see that coming out of the EU will eventually make Britain great again and restore its manufacturing base. 

Are there any engineers and scientists in the Commons?

MAY AND THE CONSERVATIVES PROTECT THE CITY WHILE LETTING PRODUCERS OF GOODS GO TO HELL

May is all about the city and money and must be heavily influenced by her husband (who works in the city). She really couldn't care less about about manufacturing which was a source of British pride.  She knows nothing about it. She wants to keep the EU and the British people sweet with trade deals with the EU on products while letting the city have its own way, and at the same time locking us into the EU.  But jobs are not everything.  Nor is economic growth.  We need to take the heat out of global business activity.  I reject London-centred globalisation.  We have seen over the years the selling-off of most British-owned industries to foreign buyers.  We are today, merely assemblers.  We need to get back to designing and manufacturing.       

MAY HAS BEHAVED LIKE A SOUTH AMERICAN DICTATOR

She has deserved everything she has got, after locking up her cabinet in Chequers and threatening them with dire consequences if they didn't support her view.  No man could tolerate such treatment, let alone a woman.  Davis and Johnson represent the true Brexiteers.  

BUILD EVERYTHING OURSELVES

We should build our own cars, aeroplanes, ships, etc, and the parts for them, and not be transporting parts to and from other countries.  They could be all be made completely in the UK, as they once were.  We should not be selling-off our technologies to other countries and then have to buy them back again, as for example vertical take-off fighter aircraft.  Britains can take no pride in watching the flypast marking the 100th anniversary of the RAF. 

The government cannot see where all this is going.  We have the latest sell-off - Rolls Royce's Marine Division to Norway.  When will it all end?  Plane manufacturer Airbus, BMW and Jaguar Landrover are threatening UK jobs.  They shouldn't be allowed by law to do this. These firms and others like them should be in British hands.  The financial services industry should be forced to back Britain or get out of this country. 

Today, May and the conservatives have done their yellow-belly worst for Britain.  It has all been talk. 

WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE REGARDLESS AND RESTORE PRIDE IN OUR NATION

We should not take lectures from the EU, nor Southern Ireland presidents, nor should we beg like dogs for any favours.  We should simply go and take whatever comes.  Then everything can be up for true negotiation with whoever.  There may be a few hiccups, but everyone will know we are serious.   

MAY IS BLIND

She thinks blindly that she is going to deliver Brexit in the way that the British people want.  Which British people is she talking about?  When the people voted, they voted to come out of the EU, period.  They voted that way because that was their opinion of the effect that the EU has had on this country.  That view has not changed.  It is a view that is pervasive among the British people. They see the machinations of the politicians, Barnier being the EU's hit man.  May should ditch the EU experiment, for that is what it has been.  Better to give the job to Boris.      

WHEN ARE BRITONS GOING TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES?

The remoaners just cannot shut up.  The British people were once confident that they could go it alone.  They can do anything - build complete aircraft, ships, cars, cycles, rockets, satellites, radar.  Why import parts from all over? They can even feed themselves.  The arch remoaner Vince Cable came on the televison this morning decrying just about everything British, speaking in his depressive monotonic voice.  He should be quietly retired.

BRITAIN SHOULD ABANDON ITS COMMITMENT TO CERN'S IMAGINED SCIENCE (5) (Cox and Al-Khahili)

On page 129-131 of Unzicker's book, the Higgs Fake, he makes some comments about what he calls Higgs Infotainment.  After saying that particle physics has no useful output at all, he says that what people don't realise is that Cox is a particle physicist (like those at CERN).   Unzicker describes the following quotes by Cox as verbiage: "the most complex machine ever built"; it found the "genuinely fundamental" Higgs particle, "one of the most important discoveries in the history of science, on equal footing with the electron" and physics is in "a golden age".

But the case of the electron is entirely different from the so-called Higgs particle.  You can affect an electron directly by deflecting its path in a discharge tube with either a magnet or an electric charge.  You can calculate the mass of the electron with a simple calculation. The Higgs boson is said to exist for such a short time that direct action on it is impossible.  It is said to be observed from its by-products.  The by-products are said to mathematically predict the Higgs particle. The abstract, weird Mathematics which they employ are manipulated to get the result they want.  The same applies to the W and Z bosons  and the host of other particles. The masses of these particles are mostly unknown, but the Higgs particle is supposed to 'give' them their mass. How the hell does it do that?  On page 130, Unzicker, says according to Cox, it is "the best example of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" - I ask you, what kind of physicist is this?  Physics should not be done this way. On page 131, Unzicker states: "We need an explanation or even better, a calculation with testable results".  

Also on page 131, Unzicker describes J. Al-Khahili as another expert in pompous talking.  Unzicker quotes Al-khahili: "2012 (the year of the Higgs so-called discovery) promises to be a truly historic year for physics" comparing it to Einstein's "miraculous year" of 1905; the Higgs might be the "key to telling us why these particles are as they are"; the Higgs is a "possible doorway maybe to other particles"; it allows us "to tie down other uncertainties"; "looking in the right direction for other particles"; "being on the threshold of another revolution". This is all pie in the sky when you die.  It is absolute rubbish for a scientist to use such vague and fanciful language, on par with that of Cox.  But they are BBC experts.         

  

SELLING SCIENCE - BRIAN COX

On page 129-131 of Unzicker's book, the Higgs Fake, he makes some comments about what he calls Higgs Infotainment.  After saying that particle physics has no useful output at all, he goes on to say  that what people don't realise is that Cox is a particle physicist (like those at CERN).   Unzicker describes the following quotations by Cox as verbiage: "the most complex machine ever built"; it found the "genuinely fundamental" Higgs particle, "one of the most important discoveries in the history of science, on equal footing with the electron" and physics is in "a golden age".

But the case of the electron is entirely different from the so-called Higgs particle.  You can affect an electron directly by deflecting its path in a discharge tube with either a magnet or an electric charge.  The Higgs particle is said to exist for such a short time that direct action on it is impossible.  It is said to be observed from its by-products.  And the by-products are said to be a mathematical prediction.  Mathematics are manipulated to get the required result.  Physics should not be done that way.  



 

MAY NEVER MENTIONED BRINGING ASSAD TO JUSTICE

In her speech this afternoon May said there was, and had been in the past, plenty of evidence that the Assad regime had used chemical weapons.  If you have the evidence then surely Assad, his colleagues and military leaders must be tried in the Hague even in their absence.  So why hasn't May and her predecessor Cameron sought this before.  It is only the slow drip of witness information out of the Hague that will convict these criminals and bring them to justice.

PUT ASSAD ON TRIAL IN THE HAGUE (WHY RISK WAR?)

Surely it would be better to put Assad on trial in the Hague for war crimes.  Although we may never get him, he would be seen as evil over a long period which would do enormous damage to his reputation. 

BRITAIN SHOULD ABANDON ITS COMMITMENT TO CERN'S IMAGINED SCIENCE (4)

In contrast with the complicated methods of particle physicists, Unzicker says we should keep  physics simple, as Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Shrodinger and Dirac did.  He says that Dirac worried about two elementary particles being a suspiciously complicated model, and Newton's supreme credo was simplicity.  Einstein didn't refer just to his period when he said that laws of nature are unlikely to be true unless they were very simple.  Einstein and his contemporaries disdained any theory with unexplained numbers - nowadays dozens of them are needed to describe the multitude of particles.  All this Unzicker has on  page 12, Chap. 1 of his book The Higgs Fake.  

On page 11, Chap.1, Unzicker states that the current understanding of Nature in the twenty-first century is: "Four different interactions exist in Nature, and the building blocks of the atomic nuclei, protons and neutrons, consist of parts themselves: quarks and gluons.  The quarks show up in six species called "flavours", each of which can appear in three different "colours".  Besides heavy particles there are two other groups, middle-weights and a light sort, consisting of electrons, muons, tauons, and three if not more, corresponding types of neutrinos, not to forget W, Z, and Higgs Bosons.  All these particles not only carry mass and electrical charge, but also so-called "isospin", "charm", "bottomness" and another couple of characteristics which define them.  It would fill several pages if I tried to give you just a rough idea of the underlying notions.  But lets pause for a moment.  Imagine you are visiting another civilisation where a Shaman tells you the above story?"  !!!!!!  

BRITAIN SHOULD ABANDON ITS COMMITMENT TO CERN'S IMAGINED SCIENCE (3)

Also in the Preface (page 8), Unzicker writes: "It is no excuse that, unfortunately, there are other degenerations of the scientific method in the realm of theoretical physics: super-symmetry and string theory which never predicted anything about anything and never will.  It is a sign of the rottenness of particle physics that nobody has the guts to declare the nontestable as nonsense, though many know perfectly well that it is.  They are all afraid of the collateral damage to their own shaky building, should the string bubble collapse.  The continuous flow of public funding they depend so much on requires consensus and appeasement.  However, experimental particle physics is somehow more dangerous to science as a whole, because with its observational fig leaves, it continues to beguile everybody that they are doing science instead of pushing technology to its limits."  

"But the worst thing about the standard model of particle physics is the stalling in the intellectual progress of humankind it has caused.  We need to get rid of that junk to evolve further."  

BRITAIN SHOULD ABANDON ITS COMMITMENT TO CERN'S IMAGINED SCIENCE (2)

In the Preface of his book (pages 7/8) Unzicker says: "Most high energy physicists indeed believe that what they are doing makes sense, but they are unable to disentangle their belief from what they think is evidence.  The more thoroughly one examines that evidence, however, the more frail it becomes.  But above all it is impenetrable.  Only the super-specialized understand their small portion of the data analysis, while a superficial babble is delivered to the public.  This is a scandal.  It is their business, not anyone else's, to provide a transparent, publicly reproducible kind of evidence that deserves the name." 

BRITAIN SHOULD ABANDON ITS COMMITMENT TO CERN'S IMAGINED SCIENCE (1)

I have just read the book three times: The Higgs Fake by Alexander Unzicker.  He puts the boot into particle physics.

AN UNPROFESSIONAL JOB IN SALISBURY

Going on the evidence of the widespread distribution of the nerve agent, it seems that the job has been done by amateurs playing with fire.  The government has to be wary of letting criminals into this country.  It is yet another sign of the need to cut down on immigration generally, reducing the risk in more ways than one.

SO THE HOMELESS ARE SO BECAUSE THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL

That is what May said today.  But is homelessness the cause of their mental illness?  The homeless go cold and hungry, resort to alcohol and drugs, so it is ever likely that they become ill and unable to cope.  Why does the government think that if we spend more on mental health it will ease the problem.  It may, with a more caring approach.  I have good reason not to trust psychiatrists who meddle with brains and do not understand what they are doing.    

Just think that we let into our country every year, hundreds of thousand people.  Common sense tells you that a housing crisis is inevitable.  Immigration must be stopped.  The housing crisis could be solved quite simply. We cannot go on concreting all over England.  This is totally unsustainable.  The stock of Council homes has been severely depleted.     We need a tough Government who will make decisions.  

TRUMP PUTS THE USA FIRST: MAY SHOULD PUT BRITAIN FIRST

May should protect and invest in what is left of British industry (A MERE 20%) before it is too late.     

TRUMP IS RIGHT TO IMPOSE TRADE BARRIERS

My wife bought a Tommy Tippee cup for my two year old grandchild.  The wrapping had a Union Jack printed on it.  I thought good, we are at least producing a child's cup in this country.  A little later I looked at the wrapping and was very disappointed to see Made in China.  This is true of so many of the manufactured goods that we buy today.   

MAY'S SPEECH A PIG'S MEAL

It is going to take years to extricate ourselves from the EU, that is if we choose to do everything that May and the EU say.  Why does she have to make such a long complicated mess of brexit?  Keep it simple, go, present the EU with a fait accompli, and sort out the problems one by one in our own time.  

CORBYN IN COVENTRY - NO APOLOGIES

It was notable that Corbyn had nothing to say about the once important manufacturing industries (which people took pride in) which have been lost from Coventry under both Labour and Conservative Governments.  I would mention just a few: Courtaulds Fibre and Engineering Group, Massey Ferguson (we now buy their tractors),  Alfred Herbert Machine Tools (and a whole machine tool industry).  We once made rocket engines  at Ansty.  They formed the first stage of the Black Night rocket.  There wasn't just one foreign owned car company, but a plethora of them.  This is what globalisation and the EU (which also promotes it) has done to us in this area.  Successive governments have taken something very important to the British working man and women, and that is pride in their job and their company.  That is really what I want to see back.  This was why the British people voted to come out of the EU.  It was why many Labour voters did the same.  Manufacturing should represent at least 50% of our economic output, not 20%.  We are so vulnerable, unlike the Germans and Japanese.  It was as though Corbyn and Starmer were talking to themselves.  

WHAT IF THERE WAS A SECOND REFERENDUM?

Who would win?  I think that the British people are fed-up with the EU.  They can't stand the EU talking down from on high; the bureaucracy; the rules that must be written down; the regular money we have to pay; the large EU buildings that are everywhere; the way they try to tie us down; the immigration; the numbers of immigrant students; the dependence on Chinese manufactured goods; cars from the EU; the lack of investment in industry; the way the city has taken over.  We have become a nation that can offer very little to the world.  We have sold all our industries off.  Nothing has been done to protect our industries.  Unless we reverse things we are doomed to being a third rate nation.  The only way is to be set free, the sooner the better. And I can't stand seeing the miserable looking faces on EU leaders. 

SAY NO TO ALL FOREIGNERS

One must suspect that half the crime committed is done by foreigners who have no moral commitment to this country.   They are more than likely under the police radar and can disappear back to their country of origin without trace if they are caught.  For example, what do the police do if a foreigner smashes his uninsured car into your vehicle?  Nothing!  The police shrug their shoulders and leave you to foot the bill for the damage.  The EU arrest warrant is a waste of time.  We should do what we used to do and police our own borders.  The massive immigration into this country must be stopped.  

SAY NO TO FOREIGN STUDENTS

Academia is NOT a business, yet it is run like one.  Today academics have a vested interest in making money.  Their interest in their subject comes out of the money they can make, not out of the subject itself.  They encourage large numbers of foreign students to come to this country for heavy fees.  The students number approximately 150,000 Chinese, about the same from the EU and a similar number from other countries.  They take the places of British students and drain our resources.  Places of higher education are supposed to be the lifeblood of our nation.  Academics need to get back to their roots.  We should severely restrict the numbers of foreign students.       

BARNIER YOU HAVE FAILED

He thinks he is god.  The longer these 'negotiations' continue the worse he gets.  Why should we bow and scrape to him and the rest of EU?  The EU is a failed organisation, and it certainly looks it.  Barnier is representative of that failure. The world is passing the EU by.  IT IS WORN OUT.  

MAY BEGS FOR A DEAL

So the EU is fearful of what Britain might do when it leaves.  We should leave now.  Then offer to negotiate on our terms.  There is absolutely no need to beg for a deal, when  we could be getting-on with striking our own.  Take a leaf out of Trump's book and put Britain first.  

When we went into the EU, one thing I hadn't realised was how foolish we were to sign up to it in the first place.  It would take at least four years to get out.  Ridiculous!!!

THE NHS AND THE EU

We are forever being told that we spend less on our NHS compared to other EU countries.  The overload on our health system caused by immigration of a city-sized population into this country every year imposes heavy strains on resources. With high rates of child and adult obesity, a major cause of disease in all age groups, we are in an expensive pandemic of our own making.  More money is not going to solve our health problems in the long term. But all Governments have shown themselves impotent when it comes to resolving our health crisis. Reliance on numbers of tests, operations, and drugs is clearly not the answer.  Why for example do the numbers of ill people increase dramatically every year around Christmas time?  It isn't just because of the cold weather.  

We need to do more research on prevention.
If we undergo all the tests that are advised by doctors, we will be spending all our time at medical facilities. People live with cancer cells in their bodies for years.  It is clear to me that we have all got cancer cells which our immune system copes with.  So how do we improve  our immune system so that cancer doesn't win?  We must improve the quality of our food, reduce pollution, and exercise more.

ADONIS AND HESELTINE MAKE A RIGHT PAIR

They just don't know the awful things that the EU has done to this country.  Skills have gone.  Whole industries have gone.  We were once an industrial nation.  Now we are slaves of global companies who treat their employees like dirt.  We once led the world in most fields of science and engineering.  Now we have become a backwater - an importer of other people's goods.  This is unsustainable. We stupidly let into our country the equivalent of a city every year. Our only hope is to get back to where we were before we joined the Common Market and the EU.  We may be worse off for a time, but that won't matter in the long run.

MAY HAS TWISTED MEANING OF BREXIT

She doesn't understand the view in the rest of the country.  We want out with no compromise. That is what Brexit meant.  She has twisted the meaning to suit herself.  

MAY - BREXIT MEANS COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE, COMPROMISE

A great swathe of the Midlands area, people who would normally vote for any party, support a clean break with the EU.  We have all had enough seeing our industries decimated. We have no faith in May's compromises.     

MAY MUST GO - WE NEED A GENERAL ELECTION

Dominic Grieve is a first class idiot, who clearly lives in the Westminster bubble.   But the Government's loss of the vote may turn out for the best. The Tories need to increase their majority led by a true Brexiteer.  I believe that there would now be great support for a leader who dared to go to the Country.  We are being messed about something terrible by the EU.   

WE WILL NEVER LEAVE THE EU

3 million EU workers are cock-a-hoop today.  They will all be demanding their equal rights and will get the European Courts on our backs if they are dissatisfied for any reason.  And what about their relatives?  They are going to be a problem for a very long time.

IMPACT STATEMENTS - YOU MUST BE JOKING !!!

Ted Heath never did impact statements before we went into the EU or Common Market.  It was his bee in his bonnet, just an idea.  If Ted Heath COULD have done impact statements that predicted the future, we would never have gone in, knowing what we know now.  The impact on our housing, traffic, NHS, jobs, factories, and education, among many things, has been absolutely devastating.  We have given up so much in jobs and skills. 

WE MUST CUT LOOSE FROM THE EU

We are going to be dragged down by the bureaucracy of the Brussels.  There is only one way, and that is OUT - a clean break! It can't come soon enough. 

COME AND SEE THE BUILDING CHAOS IN NUNEATON

You will also experience the resulting traffic chaos.  The building and traffic chaos are the  result of EU migration, let alone the increased waiting times for NHS operations.  A cities worth of people are coming to the UK every year from the EU.  This is unsustainable.

3 MILLION EU WORKERS IN THE UK - WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS?

If 2 million went back home that would equalise the number of EU workers living here and UK people (who are not necessarily workers) living an ALL the countries of the EU (which in itself is unfair, as there is no balance of people between the UK and each of the other countries).  What we have is an unregulated free for all, and the UK is the big loser.  Why!!!  Because if the 2 million EU workers left, we would immediately solve the housing crisis and the NHS funding crisis. So what do we need the EU workers for, if not to make money for a few people? 

NEGOTIATE A PRICE FIRST THEN RECEIVE WHAT IS HANDED OUT - CRAZY

They are children playing with fire.  These "negotiations" were ill-conceived from the start.

SHE SPEAKS WITH A FORKED TONGUE (50 BILLION+)

So this is negotiating is it?  

MADE IN BRITAIN (NOT CHINA, GERMANY, JAPAN OR ANYWHERE ELSE)

How I long to see that sign!  We need to get back to making things again, such as washing machines, cookers, fridges, radios, televisions, tractors, cars, cameras, computers, mobile phones, aircraft, ships, submarines, agricultural equipment and anything else, however small, that we buy as individuals or as a nation.  Successive Governments have watched idly as our industries have been destroyed.

SHE SAYS WE ARE LEAVING THE EU, BUT NOT LEAVING EUROPE

This is political double speak.  She has been a remainer all along and so has Hammond.  We are being led to destruction.  She dances to the EU's tune.   

DRAIN THE SWAMP

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

The Government talks about having an industrial strategy, when it doesn't have one. There is no-one in the Government capable of coming-up with a sound strategy.  We are being led into oblivion by a group of professional politicians who know nothing of industry.  They may be clever speakers, or good at arguing, but none of them has ever done a real job.  How many politicians are there who were scientists or engineers?  We are living on borrowed time.  When I see three women sitting together at the centre of PMQs, I have to wonder what has happened to the men?   MPs are diverted from their jobs and preoccupied with talk of sex, a sure sign of the decline of a nation.  Unless we see some radical changes in our Government, this country is doomed.  MPs live in a Westminster and London  bubble.  The Houses of Parliament should be turned into a history museum.  Parliament is a dog fight. It should be accommodated in a modern building where civilised discussion can occur.  Its location should be in the centre of the country.  Reality might set in.     

WOULD MRS MAY WANT THE ARMY SURROUNDING THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT?

Mrs May and the British Government are inconsistent.  On the one hand they and the EU support the Spanish Government's approach to the Catalan problem.  But what would they say if the Scots wanted another independence referendum?  From past records, the Government and the EU would oppose it.  What if the Scots went ahead with a referendum, regardless of the Government and the EU, and won a large majority in favour of independence?   Would she and the Government, with the EU's blessing, send the army to surround the Scottish Parliament building, sack all the members of the Scottish Parliament, and put in their own puppet replacements?   

Where is democracy today?  Biggest is not best.  Small is beautiful.      

THE CATALAN PARLIAMENT SAYS YES TO INDEPENDENCE - HOORAY!!!!

With increasing populations everywhere, many are feeling ignored, and calls for independence will come.  Congratulations to the Catalonians.  I wish them the very best.  Mrs May couldn't bring herself to do the same, like the mean-mouthed lot of the EU.  The behaviour of the king, and the prime minister of Spain is like that of the Spanish Inquisition.  

Scotland will hopefully follow the Catalonians.  

The prime minister condones spending more and more on London and ignores the areas to the north of it.   

WHICH LARGE EMPLOYERS??????

Come on, own up!!!!!  Which big employers are we supposed to take notice of?????  Who is seeking a transition deal that continues as though we had never left the EU?????  These are the wishes of traitors. 

THE EU HAS SCREWED-UP ANY NEGOTIATIONS FROM THE START

Today the BBC site showed a photograph of Merkel and Macron, each covering their mouths at the same time, with May in the middle, head bowed, apparently listening.  Whatever the reason these EU leaders had for covering their mouths, it looked as though May was being stitched-up.  The EU has dictated the order of negotiations from the start, and she has accepted their terms. The British should have stated what it wanted, at least as an opening position, including trade.  It should have refused to start negotiations under the conditions imposed by the EU.  No-one in their right mind would even begin to negotiate without an idea of what they were going to get.  A deal is not necessary.  Lawson and Redwood are right.  We could just go without a deal and trade under WTO rules.  After leaving and starting to trade under WTO rules, we could agree any other relations with the EU.   We would probably have to trade under WTO rules with other countries, not in the EU, in any case.    

WE NEED A WARTIME SPIRIT

It is clear that the EU is going to mess us about for as long as possible.  We will probably have to take knocks both before and after we come out of the EU.  But the British people can face adversity if they do the right thing. This means cutting loose from the monster that is the EU, negotiating with other countries outside of the EU, designing and building our own complete products once more, being more self-sufficient, with food for example.  The recent Bombardier experience is a good example of how our aircraft industry has become dependent on the fortunes of other countries. 

We have done it before we went into the EU and we can do it again when we come out of it. The  labour party should be pleased that it would release the potential of British workers.  We should never have been led into the EU in the first place.  Over the years I have seen hundreds of companies and good jobs go from the Midlands area as a consequence of the EU and its emphasis on globalism.  

The effect on the environment would be positive when we come out of the EU.  The reduction in transport would be considerable with fewer lorries and fewer ships from China having to come into the UK.    

NO INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY FROM LABOUR OR CONSERVATIVES

Both parties propose to spend money as though it really does grow on trees but they don't say how we are going to earn it.  Unless someone comes up with a strong industrial policy for Britain we are headed for poverty.  The bankers won't save us, Mark Carney won't save us (what a waste of time he is), and nor will the city.   

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET AN INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY?

All the talk about leaving the EU is a waste of breath, time and money.  We should leave the EU now.  The Government needs to lay out its strategy for business with a particular emphasis on support and promotion for manufacturing.  In short I am calling for a second indigenous industrial revolution, done better, with care for the environment and the individual.  Professor David Bailey is a wimp.  

ITS TIME TO TAKE A RUNNING JUMP

Are we going to allow ourselves to be dragged for ever through the gutter by the bureaucrats from the EU.  It certainly looks that way.  The time is right to take a running jump, while the going is good.  EIGHT  BILLION TO SUPPORT EU STAFF IS RIDICULOUS.  THE SIZE OF THE EU BUILDINGS HORRIFIES ME.  

WE NEED TO BE AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY

We must get back to how we were - an independent manufacturing country.  A country about which we could be proud, not dissimilar from Germany, making complete products.  I trust neither the city nor the Labour Party to save us.   I think that Boris may well have the leadership required. The other mealy-mouthed lot, you know, May and Hammond & company, don't have it.   

WHY AREN'T WE A MANUFACTURING COUNTRY?

Why is it that the experts that appear on the BBC Business program are knowledgeable about the global economy, while they ignore what is going on in the country?  The rest of the country doesn't want to know about the global economy.  Is it the London bubble effect?  They think they are masters of the world.  We will keep you informed about business they say.  Well why don't they get up off their backsides and go into the country and find out what business is like, and make this a feature of each day's programme. They should promote the manufacturing industries, particularly those firms who make things, and don't simply assemble from imported parts.  We need to get back to the time when we could manufacture everything in a product.   

WE SHOULD NATIONALISE TATA STEEL

The Government should nationalise TATA Steel before it is lost altogether to the German steel industry.  Will this be yet another of hundreds of factories or industries that successive Governments have let slip through their fingers?    

   

CARNEY - MR UNCERTAINTY!

Mr Carney has a worried frown.  Of course businesses and individuals feel uncertain about the future. The uncertainty weighs upon people, let alone the economy.  With an uncertain economic climate, we will see the flight of some businesses to other countries. But you don't have to be the Governor of the Bank of England to foresee that.  It seems that Mr Carney agrees with the Government, or rather Mr Hammond who is trying to rub the doom and gloom in.  While the uncertainty exists, for example if there is a transition period that extends the uncertainty, these trends will continue.  So it is better to get rid of the uncertainty, and get out of the EU now!!!  Mr Carney, why do you have to be so negative?  Are you really a Remainer?  Why can't you be more positive about Britain leaving the EU?  Do you want Brexit to work or not?  As you well know, uncertainty has a very positive side.   

HAMMOND DOESN'T WANT THE UK TO COMPETE WITH THE EU

This was about low taxes imposed on foreign companies wishing to invest in the UK. In a recent interview, Mr Hammond said: "I often hear it said that the UK is considering participating in unfair competition in regulation and tax" ... "That is neither our plan nor our vision for the future." So would the UK compete with the EU? The gutless Mr Hammond hasn't realised what business is all about. Yes it will compete. But not just for inward investment. Mr Hammond, we will compete with the EU, Germany included, and with any other country, for all business. Brexit will revitalise this country.
