Rest In Peace--Maybe



  HRH has finally summoned the energy and calm to comment on the three existential threats         facing the land of his birth.


  •                  The death of the Labour Party
  •                  The end of Tottenham's dream of winning its first  senior league title in                             nearly sixty years
  •                   The collapse of Brexit and the birth of the "Peoples' Poll II". 

Labour
This will not be a maudlin post about Cyclops 55+ years in the party; nor a tear shed to the       memory of my fathers life long commitment to DEMOCRATIC socialism and the BUND.
A commitment for which he served prison time in Fascist Poland and Bolshevic Russia.
Cyclops never paid a tiny fraction of such a price.

Readers may remember vintage posts extolling The British Labour Party as the natural home of the immigrant Jewish proletariat since its 1900 foundation  as the Labour Representation Committee. 
Throughout its history a decent,democratic and Anti Bolshevic party.

No longer; the infantile Leninists have taken over.There are no "Revolutionary Conditions" and their fantasies will not triumph.
But they have killed the Labour Party leaving Britain bereft of a credible progressive political force.

If Luciana Berger and the gang of seven,eight,nine   or whatever by the time you read this see no way to save the party;and have been driven out by the bullies,zealots and anti Semites,then who is Cyclops to argue.

HRH laughed at friends who  proudly or reluctantly announced they were voting for Corbyn at least once " because the Blairites needed to put in their place or somehow admonished for  not being 'radical enough' ". Some,but not all ,were fashionably and shallowly  virtue signalling.

Cyclops gets no satisfaction in being right about Corbyn and his coterie and is certainly not laughing now.


Tottenham Hotspur
    What a week end. Tottenham get Harry Kane back he scores and they lose to B๐Ÿ˜’rnley!!
    The Palace was of course dreaming at the thought that Pochetino could finally get his first trophy---the Big One.
    Cyclop's pro Argentine football bias has been in full flow๐Ÿ˜.
    The Argies do lousy governance but great football  ๐Ÿ˜˜

   To add salt to the wound Liverpool drop two points at Man U and Arsenal win ๐Ÿ˜’ at Soton.
   A win at Burnley would have left Spurs 3 points behind Liverpool,2 behind Man,city and 10 ahead     of Arsenal.
  They are scheduled to play all THREE in the run in.
   Win those and they were in with more than a shout.
   Losing to Burnley screws that---probably๐Ÿ˜ˆ

For the record Poch old chap,what have we been repeatedly telling you about Aurier--he cannot defend.and can barely cross a ball.
And 20 year old Foyth may a world class centre back of the future ---but not yet.
He is regularly out of position and gets muscled by the big boys.

Looks like we need to be lucky and City very unlucky.Liverpool will come second๐Ÿ‘ฝ
That just leaves the Champions League for Spurs to win this season.✌

Brexit
Have not written much about the Brexit fiasco in recent weeks despite all the parliamentary Sturm undt Drung.
Because that's what it is.๐Ÿ’ฅ
Cyclops has consistently predicted that the FAT LADY will not sing  and the furthest the UK will go is to BRINO.
And BRINO ,only if Parliament fails to find its courage to vote for a second referendum.

See no reason to alter that prediction.
The total failure of the Brexiteers to show a convincing path to a workable trade regime allied to no sign of a"return of sovereignty" of the British parliament points to a second referendum as the only way out of the mess.

The "people" got Britain into this ,they will now be given the task of getting us out---that is in the EU
How confusing๐Ÿ˜–

  • The so called May deal is simply worse than the situation ex ante.
  • On Trade:all the EU regs and constraints but 
  • no say in reforming them or 
  • the common agriculture policy etc etc.
  • No more regional development grants 
  • back of the queue for science money etc
  • As to immigration -in or out -UK policy is more open to immigration of one kind or another than much of the EU.
  • Very hard to ignore history or reality.


Never mind the people will set us straight.
Funny how both Rees Mogg and Jezza believe in the total wisdom of the masses--as interpreted by them of course.
Rees Mogg as one born to rule and the other as the vanguard ...

Almost wrote intellectual vanguard ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„ LOL
