The Trump Family Brothel

       
                                 The Trump family brothel  being given a new lease on life.

                   The Canadian Park Service is designating the Arctic Restaurant in Bennet,B.C. an historic site and ramping it up as a tourist attraction.

Friedrech Drumpf's Arctic Hotel in the Yukon was open around the clock with “private boxes for ladies and parties,” according to an advertisement in the Dec.9,1899 edition of the Bennett Sun newspaper. The boxes typically included a bed and scale for weighing gold dust used to pay for “services,”

“I would advise respectable women traveling alone, or with an escort, to be careful in their selection of hotels at Bennett,” according to a letter penned by “The Pirate” in the Yukon Sun on April 17, 1900. For single men, the Arctic offered excellent accommodations but women should avoid it “as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex.”

This was the basis of the Trumpf family fortune[see earlier blogs] and the beginning of a great family tradition.

They must both be kvelling [very proud] in Heaven-where else?- as their offspring screws the IRS,his Partners,Contractors,Workers,the Press,the Banks and now his Base.

SUSPICIOUS SAUDIS SENSATIONALLY SAY SALMAN SENILE ; SPOILED SON SHINES SUPERFICIALLY

         
               Saudi King Salman makes 31 YEAR OLD son Mohammed first in line to the throne.

                                                          PREEMPTIVE COUP  ?
                                                      

                                Mohammed bin Salman currently Defense Minister and responsible for                                    

•                       World's third largest defence budget.Five times larger than Iran.
•                       Saudi Arabia's military fiasco in Yemen
•                       Failed strategy in Syria,funding Al Quaida linked militias against Assad.
•                       Confrontational stance to US Rapprochement with Iran 
•                       Diplomatic break with Quatar
•                       Trumpski's Sword Dance

   Apparently the Saudis failed to mention that the dance is part of a Bedouin Circumcision Ritual                                              
                                           and that he was guest of honour.
Actually the dance video http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/20/politics/trump-saudi-arabia-dance/  reminds me of dance I witnessed at the the Beltze Rebbe Schtible in Stamford Hill,North London --also part of  circumcision ritual but without the swords.
They had apparently been turned into ploughshares.  
                                                                                                                             
The Crown Prince Chairs:

• the government's main economic bodies 
•  the Board of Aramco  and
•  the Kingdom's Sovereign Wealth Funds

In these roles he has

•  Replaced the senior staff in nearly all economic area,
•  Fired the long standing minister of Energy and key force within Opec  
•  Launched "Vision 2030" designed within 15 years to transform the economy                          away from its dependence on oil.                                   and                                                    

                                                 introduced "austerity "measures

•            raising taxes,
•            cutting  government salaries
•            slashing the Saudi Welfare Budget.                                                                                                                                 

                                                   All Jolly Popular Locally                                                                                             

                                                              

 He is also responsible for the 2015 strategy of increased oil output to reduce prices in order to:

•             Hurt Iran                                                and the  
•             US fracking industry
•             Regain control of oil market as the swing producer.

                                  All this has worked out very well

• Costing  Saudi $100 billion a year
•  Beggaring African producers like Nigeria 
• Annoying Gulf Allies                                                        and 
• Losing control of the oil market !

                                   
                                                     OOPS

The Prince is Secretary General of the Royal Court and as such is the gatekeeper to his father.

The Regime has been a tight knit hereditary Wahhabist gerontocracy   since its founding in 1933.

This Young man has grasped the mandate for fundamental reform of the House of Saud.

Including reining in the Religious police and softening Saudi Sharia.
He is still there !

He has almost as much power as Jared Kushner : also 13.

They are the brothers they always wanted.
The older,Jared,with billions in debt.
The younger,Mohammad, with billions.

Next week the two plan to meet over drinks to finally solve the Israel/Palestine                         kerfuffle as a prelude to creating Middle East peace.
Then to the Maldives for some well earned R & R
  
         Though shall not LUST after your Brother's Wife--Holy book of Cyclops

King Cyclops has posted on Saudi,the Prince and Stability  7/8 times before.
His subjects have shown little interest.Thence comes......the oil price apocalypse 😰

Prince Mohammad announced in April last year the creation of a new $Trillion Wealth Fund and a public sale of 5% of Aramco..

The parlous state of the Kingdom's finances and the continued crash in oil prices meant that the fund could not be financed from taxes or oil revenues .

 He proposed listing a world wide IPO of ARAMCO.

This was widely/wildly applauded by the usual suspects:

                          Wall Street and London Investment Banks,Financial Advisers and Law Firms.

                    Always willing to work in their clients best interests.😈

The process has run into a few minor snags--[see the King's predictions on May 2016[.

The Prince and his advisers claimed a valuation of $20+ trillion for 100% of Aramco.

Making a 5% float worth $1 trillion-- needed for the new Wealth Fund--and for infrastructure--and Vision 30, and....

The market men licked their lips at the succulent fees 😏

However it seems recent leaks are designed to"lower expectations" to  $700-$1.1 Trillion range.
If the IPO ever happens expect that to drift down to $600-800  billion.

The organisation  representing professional investment funds etc in London have called on the London Stock Exchange to not make ANY exceptions to listing rules --minimum float,transparency on oil and financial reserves ,shareholder rights etc--to get the listing.

No such concerns from US Funds ,but then in the USA there are Laws and SEC Regulations and fear of 9/11 litigation.
The Saudi  security establishment is determined to maintain secrecy over level of Oil Reserves.
Retired Aramco executives  fear the strategic repercussions of revealing true operating cost,capex and revenues to their competitors,the markets and the Iranians.

                                     This should all work out very well

Despite not having the funding,the new Wealth Fund made its first investment in June 2016.

Under the direction of the youthful Uber Mench it bought a 5% stake in the unlisted,totally illiquid Uber ride hailing company.The fund paid the "princely" sum of  $3.5 billion valuing Uber at almost $70 billion,or 25% of the total Saudi stock market. Salman had become the Uber Prince.[see Cyclop's June 5, 2016 posting]  

                                                           Just in time 
         Before the exit from China [wonder if that was in the pitch book😈😈]
        Multiple lawsuits-                  patent abuse
                                                    sexual harassment,                                                                                                                   violation of Labour laws
                                                    short changing drivers,
                                                    trading without a licence
                                                    etc,etc

          And  before                   the forced departure of 20+ senior executives ,
                                               board resignations
                                              this week's forced exit of CEO,founder ,
                                             and principal shareholder Travis Kalanick..

The company is not public so hard to know  how much all this has reduced market value;       estimates run from 40-60% since the Saudi purchase.
                       
                               A Saudi one year loss loss of SAY $1.6-2 billion.

Still if it gets worse they can sell out the remaining $1-2 billion investment on the markets.
Oh,that's right the stock is not listed.Maybe Texas Pacific will help them out.
The Fund has yet to make a second investment.


On 10 January 2016, The Independent reported that "the BND, the German intelligence agency...portrayed Saudi defence minister and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman...as a political gambler who is destabilising the Arab world through proxy wars in Yemen and Syria "

                  Try to persuade CYCLOPS that this is not a preemptive coup.         
                                     Where will it all end?


ps.   This is the unofficial photo of Trumpski's arrival in Mecca
                                                                                                                 
       

Wilbur Ross,Russki Money .Mueller's MOB and the sixth innings

The King has managed to confuse himself.

I thought I had sent the email below  on  Friday morning..

Apparently not.

In addition it seems I mistakenly sent an old posting on Saudi Arabia from  early February to some readers.

No idea why --although it hindsight it seems I guessed right.

                                Those hoping for Trumpski's removal--impeach, impound or implode--

                                We are in the sixth innings.

                                So much quicker than I anticipated.

                                Democrats desperately trying to slow things down until October 2018.

                                Watch the Russki Money Trail.

                                Wilbur will Wail--and Squeal

                                "Prison at my age ?!?".

      Before you begin reading:  

I  have been made aware that my lengthy blogs overwhelm some of my older readers.

I have been asked to summarise my conclusions, predictions, apologies and falsehoods up front in the cover email.

And then provide my more passionate,diligent,devoted and pernickety readers the   Blogspot URL so that they can read the extended BS,logic and wisdom.

And enjoy the cartoons.

      

                                                           http://kingcyclops.blogspot.com/

                                                  I have begun to do this since the last Posting.

                                                    BREXITEERS CAN'T GET THEIR HARD ON

                                                            Responsive as always.

  ANYWAY:

            I have been doing a phone round the UK to get a feel for the current political chaos.

        During a conversation with a friend in London she asked what I thought would happen to Trumpski .

      

   I wonder whether British and other non US readers had noticed that the Special Counsel had brought on a team of financial  investigators and expanded his enquiries into all Trumpski associates financial dealings

  

 I banged on a bit about it all going back to Russki Money.

 Regular readers will know that I am always arguing that "it all going back to Russki money".

  I then remembered part of a Post from March.  Under the title "Am I reading a very bad John Le Carre Novel?"  --2nd March 2017.

 Wilbur Ross has not been much in the news.                  

                                                                                     HE WILL BE.

 FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MORE ON RUSSKI MONEY;

I reproduce below a  edited exerts from that post. for those interested in the  RUSSKI MONEY TRAIL :

"The Russian onion is only just beginning to unpeel 

[the King wants credit for not using the Russian  Matryoshka Doll metaphor]  .

 Banafort will go to prison not for treason but for tax evasion. 

 Flynn's gone . 

 Sessions next .

Carter Page plea deal

[at the time I forgot to include the boy wonder Jared Kushner or Ivanka's Azerbajani Adventure]

 After that a really serious one.     Bringing the money trail closer to Trumpf himself.

                                                

                                                                   

Secretary of Commerce billionaire Wilbur Ross is a partner with several Russian billionaire oligarchs in the Bank of Cyprus .    http://www.nationalmemo.com/ross-russian-connections/

Bona Fides:

[Regular readers will be aware that in his past the King has been the chairman of a Ukrainian bank......... and of an investment trust in Moscow.]

The Trust had to be restructured and sold as a result of the 1998 Ruski Financial crisis and bond default.

In 2006 the bank was sold to its  Ukrainian oligarch shareholder Rinat Akhematov.

Now the richest man in the Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinat_Akhmetov 

This oligarch along with Vlad the imPUTINer financially backed the despot Viktor Yanukovych who was run out of town by the Orange Revolution. Ultimately leading to the Russian invasion of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.               
                                        The King has some understanding of business practices in Russia/Ukraine.

So back to Wilbur:

• Ross is Vice Chair and a leading investor in the Bank of Cyprus,the largest bank on the Island.
• By coincidence Cyprus is well known as an offshore havens for illicit Russian finance.
• Since its bailout by the IMF and Cyprus government in 2014,Ross has been Vice Chairman.
• Alongside several Russians,one of whom is believed to be a Putin surrogate,he is a substantial investor.
• A major investor in that bank is a Russian mega-billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev.[more later].
• Ross and his team invested more than $1 billion in the troubled Bank .                                                                                                          
• Ross named a new chairman,Josef Ackerman,the disgraced chairman of Deutsche Bank. 
• On Ackerman's watch,Deutsche Bank paid $20 billion in fines and settlements..
• Including $650 million fine for laundering Russian money through Deutsche's offices in Moscow, New York and Cyprus.
• FCA in UK said bank  allowed unidentified customers to transfer $10bn from Russia in "manner  highly suggestive of financial crime”.
• Money moved via UK Deutsche to accounts,"including in Cyprus, Estonia, and Latvia".

Deutsche Bank is Trumpski’s largest KNOWN lender, it extended him more than $300 million,which remains outstanding.

Why Ross would appoint anyone with such a poor record of banking conduct,and why he worked with the Russian oligarchs, remains a" mystery".

• His fellow bank co-chair, Vladimir Strzhalkovsky was effectively appointed by Vladimir Putin.
•  The NY Times and Financial Times of London describe him as “a former KGB agent” and “long-time associate of Putin’s.”
• In February that year Ross paid $81 million to settle a lawsuit brought by shareholders that Ross breached his fiduciary duty when engineering the merger of two companies that he majority-owned..
• In August 2016,he reimbursed investors $11.8 million and paid a fine of $2.3 million to settle a Securities and Exchange Commission probe into the overcharging of fees by his investment company.
• To be fair he is also a major art collector and donor to think tanks and other charities.
• As is Rinat Akhematov.
• Neither of them is Jewish.
• This is important to Steve Bannon.

Ross is 80 years old and until the mid 2000's was apparently a registered Democrat.Bill Clinton appointed him to the board of the U.S.-Russia Investment Fund.

He only became a registered Republican in late 2016.

A year after he signed on to the Trumpf campaign,contributing  $200,000.

                            Ross has been associated with Trumpf since his early bankruptcies in the 90's.

Mar -a-Lago

• Dmitry Rybolovlev[see above] had the most expensive divorce in history
• Wife awarded $4.5 billion.
• He conspired to hide his money buying into foreign real estate.
• This included a $100 million estate in Florida.The seller---Donald Trump.

• Trumpf had bought the estate out of bankruptcy two years earlier,
• For $40 million in 2006
• A modest $60 million profit in 2008.
• Neither Trumpf nor Rybolovlev ever lived on the property nor spent money to refurbish  or upgrade.
• Rybolovlev has now torn down the buildings and is reported to be planning to parcel and sell off the land--probably at a very substantial loss.
• They claim they never met and the deal was handled by an intermediary.

                Unknown if Ross was this intermediary,but 

• He was co chair with Rybolovlev at the bank of Cyprus.
• He knew he was looking to hide his assets in real estate.
• He lived down the road from Trumpf at Mar-a-Lago
• He also knew that Trump needed an influx of cash to repay at debt to --who else 
• Deutsche Bank.

All this ties Wilbur Ross, Bank of Cyprus,Deutche Bank and Dmitry Rybolovlev to POTUS

                                  Why did NONE of this come up at the Wilbur Rosss Hearings?

                                      Beats Me.But the Democrats will get a second bite.

                                     Unless I learned nothing working in Ukraine and Moscow:

                             There is much more to come,so much more.

Wilbur has kept his head down since his confirmation in March.

But now Mueller's Mob is on the trail of Russki money.

Watch this space --and cable news

BREXITEERS CAN'T GET THEIR HARD ON

SHOCK,HORROR,AMAZEMENT:  POLLSTERS GOT IT WRONG !!
        The last published poll before the election gave MAYNOT a 7% lead over CORBLIMEY

                                                    IT"S A HUNG  PARLIAMENT

ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THAT BEFORE THE VOTE HE/SHE PREDICTED MAY'S JUNE DEBACLE IS A LIAR, A CHARLATAN,A SNAKE OIL SALESMAN ,WORKS FOR THE BBC OR IS ROYAL..

                      CYCLOPS BLOG POST EVE OF POLL:

"Given my recent track record why does anyone want my prognosis? 

If you must! 

                                        Goldilocks Scenario 

•  The Tories lose seats and there is a hung parliament.
•  Corbyn does little better or little worse than Milliband.
• The majority in Parliament---Labour+SNP+WELSH NATS +LIBDEMS +KENNETH CLARK --is against BREXIT :hard ,soft or sunny side up.
• MAY is dumped by the rabble-ie  the TORY PARTY.
• MERKEL  offers an olive branch to UK :join her in reforming the EU,resisting PUTIN and out lasting TRUMPF.
• Labour wakes up to realise that they could regain power if they chose a leader with any sense or appeal to its traditional constituency,the educated and the sane.Even the Jews.
• Labour dumps Corbyn.
• With the added bonus of no more TV appearances by Dianne Abbott 
  

        The Nation is Saved "

hmmm ?

Cocky Sod Old Cyclops !   

Was that a prediction or a"scenario"?  

Oh ye of little faith--go back two posts and judge for yourself.

See "UK General Election in One Week--June 1 Blog Post"for the King's reasoning wisdom words.

Anyway I used to be a politician[am now regally above all that] and take credit regardless.
NO POINT in rehearsing here again the analysis of MAY'S dreadful JUNE[sorry can't help the MAY/JUNE stuff the key board goes on automatic.]                            
Many pundits have gone over the same ground.The real issues are what does this mean and what is next.

But first a tip of the crown to Jezza and his campaign staff.
He really did play way above his abilities/expectations.

• She spoke boring platitudes to small uninterested audiences--very bad TV
• .His campaign rolled out large numbers of passionate supporters in Labour strongholds--very good TV
• He was animated,comfortable,tuned to his support and generous in his platitudes/promises.
• She wooden,brittle,obtuse and unforgivably shallow--on Brexit [her excuse for the election] social care and even terrorism.

                                  

• I guess Brexit does not now mean Brexit , 
• Hard has gone soft     
•  Enough is Enough is about her future.   

• IMPORTANTLY THE TEAM AT MOMENTUM really did an extraordinary job targeting,communicating with and turning out the largest YOOF vote in UK history.
• The turnout among those 18 to 24 estimated at 72 per cent compared to 43 per cent in 2015.
• Over a quarter of a million under 25 registered to vote on the last possible day.
• an  exit poll suggests turnout among under-35s rose by 12 points compared with 2015,
• The survey said nearly two-thirds of younger voters backed Labour, with Brexit being their main concern.
• The swing to Labour in seats where Remain won +55%  averaging seven points,
• Even among those 35 to 44 : Labour  50% Conservatives 30%                                                                                                                                      

Momentum probably added  10% to the Labour vote total.     We all really owe them.
Now if they could politely ask Jeremy to step aside in favour of a Labour leader who could actually win King cyclops will be forever in their debt.

              Could make King Cyclops a  believer--   in YOOF not JEZZA.
                                 http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-book-of-jeremy-corbyn/amp

   So what next ?  
Despite everything  this was a BREXIT Election.

It is now commonplace to assume MAY will be gone by the  Autumn.

By the time this is read it may be done.
 As I said last week 
  "The majority in Parliament---Labour+SNP+WELSH NATS +LIBDEMS +KENNETH CLARK --is against BREXIT :hard ,soft or sunny side up.

• Their time is coming--see early 2018,if not sooner.
• The Tories will engage in a bitter,but short, civil war and select a Remainer in all but name.
• The ultra Tory Brexiteers conduct  internal guerilla war.
• An olive branch will be proffered from MM [Merkel/Macron] .

                                                

• A very soft Brexit will be pursued to the point where it will be concluded that UK might as well stay.
• And help Reform
• All dressed up with the UK,FRANCE,GERMANY,ITALY and ANOTHER joining a HIGH LEVEL EUROPEAN STUDY of EU REFORM or whatever. 
• Seeing the lay of the land and following a further  six months of Corbyn leadership "success" in Parliament and on TV talk shows ,the party finally elects A.N.OTHER .
• He/She defeats a shamed ,broken ,divided Tory Party.
• If not, with Corbyn as leader, Labour is outflanked on "competence",Taxes,NATO etc.

                                          THE FAT LADY DOES NOT SING

      A friend has counselled his majesty that it is :        

 "doubtful that any other leader but Jeremy could win from here or could have brought us to this point" 

• He is in delusional mode.
• Corbyn certainly "exceeded expectations".
• However,the King judges. sorry, but A.N.OTHER. should have beaten MAY.
• Just as almost any other DEMOCRAT would have beaten TRUMPSKI.
• Jezza may or may not "retire " before the next election but
•  I am afraid ,he just LOST to Theresa MAY.
• He did better than anybody imagined --and I do mean anybody--
• against the worst  TORY CAMPAIGN/CANDIDATE since the Reform Act [1832].
• LABOUR won fewer seats and attracted a smaller share of the vote than the REACTIONARIES --even in SCOTLAND.
• DESPITE YOOF  small Labour  swing to Tories  in N.E.and N W. 
• Strong swing Tory to Labour in REMAIN seats : LONDON & S.E..

1. The Incompetent still beat the Incoherent.
2. Unless they go mad[ a real possibility] and select the CLOWN ,Jezza will lose again
3. FOURTH Labour loss in a row.
4. Labour civil war.
5.  Jeremy will be "safe"  until at least January if he can bring himself to embrace a form of remain--i.e. Party Policy.
6. He has earned his time in the sun but more because of her than him.    

• In the New Year let us see how a contest shapes up between  a "moderate" TORY with a BREXIT platform  so soft it is REMAIN ;  and
• A Seamus Milne poppet[that is spelled correctly] dissembling about staying in the CAPITALIST CLUB,
• While believing VLAD the PUTIN is misunderstood and hard done by  and
•  That its time to wind up NATO.

 There is no shame in compromising and standing down for the greater good.

                                             He cannot win --pace Boris [not Goodunov].

                                            RESPECT  or do I mean MOMENTUM


            ps if this is all wrong;
                                           MAY stays or the TORY Brexiteers elect one of their own.
                                           Besotted Labour sticks with Corbyn
                                           A continued pursuit of a HARD[ish]Brexit
                                           No MM olive branch.
                                           Collapsed negotiations
                                           Confused ,shambles at the exit

                                 Then we [the Labour Party]  will have effectively betrayed our people.
                                 Denied our Children
                         and Various other Apocalyptic Prophesies
                                 The UK will be poorer and much diminished

• A few office holders/seekers are grand standing on the issue.
• There is no way that the Republican controlled House will start the process, 
• much less 2/3rds of the Senate voting to Convict.
• Wiser Democratic Heads are delighted with the appointment of Special Counsel Mueller to look into all things Ruski.
• Investigation will take 12-15 months ,climaxing in time for the 2018 Congressional Elections.
• Perhaps a few indictments--Page/Manafort/Flynn along the way.Pour amuse bouche.
• No wonder future speaker Pelossi prefers patience.

UK General Election in One Week

   

  "Some UK election polls show huge Corbyn surge. What is going on?  "                                                                                                                                       Concerned Irishman                                        

"What with that and Jezza’s car crash interview, I think a blog is needed.But go for a long walk first."                                                                                            Duchess

"May Cratering "                                                                        Optimistic Labour Remainer   

According to some polling Theresa May may has blown a 27 point lead over Labour's  worst leader  in  history.The polls are showing Labour within the margin of error in the popular vote.

• Theresa May could lose 19 seats in the election, according to a new projection which predicts a hung parliament.
• Labour is closing the gap on the Tories 
• Theresa May gave a speech on Brexit today after missing the TV debate last night.
• Latest poll  – Conservative 42%, Labour 39%, Liberal Democrats 7% (YouGov).

                                                                                                                      Daily Express June 1 

Is this due to a sudden previously unsuspected genius within Corbyn that has ignited the hopes,passions and ambitions of working people up and down the land?   

                                           

Has his,and Dianne Abbott's,hidden charisma,vision,grasp of policy and fiscal wisdom been now revealed?

                                            Give his highness a break!

The extraordinary switch in electoral fortunes is entirely due to the Prime Minister running the worst election campaign since...... well ever! And boy does she have competition in that hall of shame ---Brown,Milliband,Clinton and that is just the last decade.

She took a 27 point lead against the least credible Labour candidate in history and assumed it was all over.

• First she was helped by the usual idiotic statements from Juncker and other EU "leaders",
• Then by rifts in the opposition,
• Stellar performances by Diane Abbott ,John McDonald and Jezza himself.
• McDonald the only one of the three who could take a stab at basic arithmetic or even remember the cheat sheets.
• But unfortunately no one liked what he was offering.

How do you take advantage of such an opponent?

Well first you refuse to participate in any debates or other face to face interactions--just in case it became clear how hapless the other side is.

You proceed to give the impression that you are above such things,apparently forgetting we are not electing a queen but a prime minister.

You over script and over choreograph your appearances.

As the debates approach you give the clear impression that the real reason for non participation is that you are bottling it.

You also completely ignore the concerns and anxieties of the electorate.

You insist on a hard Brexit when half the country wants to remain and most of the rest want to leave but are apprehensive about the details and consequences.

You round that off with the Manifesto policy from Hades.

A  DEMENTIA TAX.

To fall on those unfortunate enough to suffer but not asking those of us lucky enough to be spared,to contribute.The lottery from  the NASTY PARTY.

No sooner does she announce this ill thought out bombshell--heading for  the heart of her core constituency--than she backtracks and abandons in the face of the first sign of uproar.

                                 A true  Portrait in Courage . 

Well Cyclops what is going to happen?  

Given my recent track record why does anyone want my prognosis? 

If you must! 

                                          Goldilocks Scenario 

•  The Tories lose seats and there is a hung parliament.
•  Corbyn does little better or little worse than Milliband.
• The majority in Parliament---Labour+SNP+WELSH NATS +LIBDEMS +KENNETH CLARK --is against BREXIT :hard ,soft or sunny side up.
• MAY is dumped by the rabble-ie  the TORY PARTY.
• MERKEL  offers an olive branch to UK :join her in reforming the EU,resisting PUTIN and out lasting TRUMPF.
• Labour wakes up to realise that they could regain power if they chose a leader with any sense or appeal to its traditional constituency,the educated and the sane.Even the Jews.
• Labour dumps Corbyn.
• With the added bonus of no more TV appearances by Dianne Abbott 
  

                  

                                    The Nation is Saved

                               OTHER SCENARIO

• Despite the polls May triumphs with overall majority.
• Corbyn refuses to resign .
• Labour implodes.
• May proceeds with her clueless Brexit negotiations--based on fantasy,ignorance and small minded fear for her own position.
• She appoints Nigel FARAGE as ambassador to USA in order to get "closer" to TRUMPF.
• She continues to dream of a "New Atlantic Alliance" with Herr TRUMPF - - to be joined later by Narendra MODI and  DUTERTE of the Philipines.
• [Cyclops is aware that India is not on the Atlantic but is the British Foreign Office?]

                               THERESA MAY promises to   MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN

                                      Thus do great civilisations expire
