THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

Boris Johnson Would Resign If He Had An Ounce Of Decency

Boris Johnson would resign if he had a measure of decorum, decency, sincerity or honesty in that body of his, as would Jacob Rees-Mogg who bowed to the Queen and then lied to her face.

And indeed Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings, the self-styled genius who acts like a buffoon, a bit like Boris Johnson actually but indeed the whole lot who contrived to break the law and draw the monarchy into politics should go – Quickly.

Proroguing Parliament illegally wasn’t Boris Johnson threatening to break the law, he did break the law because judgments don’t come more incriminating than the Supreme Court’s unanimous 11-judge searing conclusion.

And the adversaries of the people here are the heedless Boris Johnson and a Tory government of Brextremist extremists trampling over democracy. Shadowed by their deranged pursuit of power and delivery of an idiotic do or die Halloween hatred, Boris Johnson is a victim of his own vicious dishonesty, inadequacy and vanity.

And his brother Jo Johnson isn’t alone in not trusting the Prime Minister and the Queen is probably wishing she could lock her fourteenth Prime Minister in the Tower and throw away the key.

Either Boris Johnson resigns and becomes the shortest Premier in antiquity or the Old Etonian incompetent endeavours to bluff his way forward. Either way, his reputation will never recover and should he humiliatingly attempt to cling to No 10, the people’s judgment at a General Election will be unmerciful.

It’s now time for a General Election, let the voters choose who they want to lead the United Kingdom and it’s a sad day for the Brexidopes when the most important court in the land says that the recent protestations against democracy were wrong.

And I bet no one will admit to being wrong in their support of Boris Johnson’s illegal activities and lies but I’m sure that some will even offer lengthy rebuttals against the highest court in the land and let’s not forget, and highlight their ego, superficiality and unreasonable unwillingness to accept that they’re sheep being driven by predators.

At the end of the day Boris Johnson lost the biggest court case in UK political history, he further lost 21 Members of Parliament, he lost his majority and he lost every vote in Parliament as Prime Minister. He lost two wives, and his self-respect, will he lose his job? Well, that wouldn’t shock anyone, but then it’s not a first for him.

Boris Johnson is of course, bad enough and he has too many skeletons in his closet and he has made the United Kindom look ridiculous but then name an honest politician.

And Boris Johnson may have said that he would abide by the decision, but he also disagreed with it but the problem with that because of his position as Prime Minister he’s encouraging people to disagree with the judicial system and that can only lead to disrespect for it and also the feeling that people will believe that they should violate the law.

The problem is, Members of Parliament have wilfully prevented the referendum decision and endeavoured to make a binary vote somehow conditional (deal), and introduced a new law to stop No Deal exit and made it difficult to obtain an agreeable settlement through complicity with the EU.

This will promote a complete distrust in the law and chaos is normally what follows and the law is never impartial, it’s supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, yet you have to establish your innocence in court, but it’s hilarious how the bankers get away with it all but then, the law only serves the elite.

And watching all the Tory trolls floundering is pretty entertaining and they no that no matter how many tales they write or whatever ridiculous games of semantics they play Boris Johnson is finished. The Tories will turn on him and he’ll be finished, but that’s only becoming for a man who used the Queen for his own vile intentions.

HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND

Obviously, the world has gone absolutely insane and pondering about it, I’m actually feeling submerged in a world gone mad and I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling down about the plight of the world right now.

In truth, the world has already caved in but in fact, decay has been spreading for decades especially when you read in the papers that a five-year-old autistic boy has been listed as a sex offender for embracing one classmate and kissing another on the cheek.

The parents are devastated, and rightly so because this boys teacher accused him of sexual activities at East Ridge Elementary in Tennessee and now they claim that they’ve been informed that their son will be identified as a sex predator and will have this on his record permanently.

His guardian said she had received a telephone call from his school near the start of September that made her sick to her stomach.

First of all, she actually didn’t understand what was going on, after all, this is a five-year-old boy, he’s just a child and his life hasn’t even begun yet. The teacher of the boy called his guardian and said that they needed to have a conversation about his boundaries and not only that, the teacher further accused the boy of sexual activities.

This little boy now has a record for life and for those that don’t understand how autism works, you would think that this little boy was simply acting out or being rebellious, but that’s not the situation here – this little boy is Autistic.

The little boy’s guardian spoke to him and said that he couldn’t hug other children but he just asked: “Why?” and his guardian told him that it wasn’t allowed.

To bring something like this against a child is contemptible, this boy has special needs and he actually doesn’t realise what he’s done wrong but what do you do when your 5-year-old child is being labelled a sexual predator and accused of sexual harassment by the school system?

It was disclosed that it would go on his record for the remainder of his life that he’s now a sex offender but how can this be? This child is autistic and he understands and functions quite differently than any other normal 5 year old.

And who do you turn to for advice when the school won’t even listen to the child’s doctor when he explains the child’s problems in his knowledge of simple things such as boundaries and his guardian said the school claimed to have talked with the boy on many prior occasions.

Tim Hensley of Hamilton County Department of Education said that school employees were expected to raise concerns about children to the Department of Child Services but it’s up to the DCS to decide if those reports are acted on by DCS and what form those actions may take.

The little boy’s guardian has now verified that he’s now been moved to a different class with a different teacher and that he’s getting special educational services which of course, he should have been getting before this ludicrous indictment and obviously someone has gone totally barmy, there are simply no words for it.

But has anyone noticed the twist in this? When children bully or beat up other children, schools normally play it down or deny it ever occurred and some children are killing themselves due to this kind of activity, but when a teacher makes a huge deal of a child hugging another and kissing another on the cheek, he gets called a sexual predator.

But putting autism aside, a five-year-old hugging someone and kissing someone on the cheek is not sexual harassment and this is utterly ludicrous that he’s now been labelled as a predator for life but then this is the absurdity and insanity of the world now.

It’s shameful and nasty and now we have all these prudes and all this insane social engineering nonsense they bring with them.

A child wants to become a transgender child and that’s fine, he doesn’t even have to tell you about it and social services, schools and doctors will bend over to support it, but then you have this child and all the purity that he holds, hugs and kisses another pupil and he’s penalised for it.

The world has officially gone insane and you simply can’t comprehend the level of absurdity that the authorities must have sunk to, in order to come to such a ludicrous decision as this.

The worst part is that we seem to now have such inadequate, inexperienced people educating children, particularly when these children are mentally challenged but honestly, these teachers shouldn’t even be entrusted with a lemonade stand, let alone in charge of a child’s education and well-being.

And labelling a five-year-old autistic boy as anything should make one question the maturity level and lack of empathy this teacher demonstrated and this is totally unacceptable and it’s tragic that seemingly most teachers in the United States have absolutely no clue on how to manage a child with autism.

This should be part of their schooling when they go to college to become a teacher because children with autism are being mainstreamed into regular classroom settings, sometimes with the support of an aid and I’m sorry, but a hug or a kiss on the cheek, which is probably how this child is shown affection at home does NOT mean that this little boy is a sexual predator.

The World has gone mad…

And I would be overwhelmed if I was this poor child’s guardian because this little boy is going to face enough prejudices in life with his autism without being stigmatised as a Sex Offender and soon you won’t be able to shake hands with someone without being accused of harassment.

This is a travesty and I feel like I’ve woken up in a parallel universe today because when I was a kid, doctors and nurses were a normal past time for us, what is the world coming to when you can’t even hug your classmates?

When I was a kid I can remember playing kiss chase in the playground, I would cuddle and kiss my classmates on the cheek, sometimes even on the mouth and it’s scary to imagine that I might have been a Sex Offender all of my life and never realised it – lock me up, I must be a monster!

This world is going to purgatory in a hand cart, roll on the next destruction of the human race.

The world’s gone insane all to satisfy the impulses and beliefs of a few half-witted folks, whose every utterance is to make headline news and we need to get rid of all this socialist liberal drivel. A 5-year-old doesn’t even know what sex is, so how can this be intended to be harried by someone?

It was said that this little boy shouldn’t be hugging or kissing children, so who should this five-year-old be hugging then, maybe some disgusting paedo in the park? This must be some kind of sick hoax.

And the fact that he’s just five years old and only hugged and kissed on the cheek only shows that he’s just behaving like an innocent loving little boy, would they rather that he behaved like a thug, or would they prefer that he slapped and bit his classmates?

Sex Offender, what baloney, this little boy’s innocent in the ways of sex. This was just a sign of affection, it’s not like he grabbed his teacher, bent her over and gave her one up the keister but we’re happy to let adults off with murder, molestation and violence but then we’re thrilled at the thought of putting a 5-year-old on the sex register.

Boris Johnson Says It Would Be A Moral Hazard

Boris Johnson lashed out at Thomas Cook bosses as the troubled holiday firm fell into administration and even though the Prime Minister promised to rescue holidaymakers who were confronted with being stranded across the globe in what’s thought to be the biggest ever peacetime repatriation of British citizens.

But one way or another the state was going to have to step in and quite rightly so but even so, it was a pretty stressful situation and in a stern message to the firm’s management, Boris Johnson stated that one was forced to ponder on whether the directors of these companies were properly incentivised to sort such matters out and visibly discouraged with the unfolding situation, and Boris Johnson indicated that there would be no government bailout for the world’s oldest holiday firm.

And he verified that the firm had asked a £150 million government bailout to keep it from sinking into bankruptcy and clearly that’s a lot of taxpayers money and sets up a moral hazard in the case of such future commercial problems that companies encounter and he said that we need to look at ways in which tour operatives can protect themselves from such insolvencies in the future.

And clearly, the methods that we have in position to guarantee that businesses like Thomas Cook don’t end up coming to the taxpayer for assistance.

People were warned that a vote for Brexit would see firms collapse and people would lose their jobs and this is just the latest example, caused by the drowning pound. Of course, Tories and Leavers refuse to see the connection.

Of course the pound sinking was happening way before the referendum and Thomas Cook was in crisis way before that but of course, Brexit isn’t helping the situation and what a strange idiom Boris used “moral hazard,” and it must be a moral hazard that keeps Boris Johnson in office.

Of course, Thomas Cook employees will walk away with diddly squat and won’t it cost more to bring everyone home than it would have to bail the firm out? But then if they were bailed out, who in their right mind would book a holiday with them after what’s happened?

And if our government did bail them out, should we then bail out every large company that’s in threat of going under? But we should feel for those whose holidays have been overshadowed or lost by what’s now happened but it’s only a holiday, what about those 22,000 plus whose livelihoods are now lost? This is the real tragedy when companies go under big or small it’s the workforce that bears the brunt of it.

And come hell or high water, the aviation authority will get all these people on holiday home, not Boris Johnson and for customers who booked their holiday with Thomas Cook or one of its Group companies, Thomas Cooks Plc has stopped trading and ABTA’s immediate plan is to assist customers to understand what actions they need to take if they’re currently away on holiday or if they have booked travel arrangements with the company.

Thomas Cook Group Plc operated several businesses that sold holidays and other travel arrangements, including five companies that are ABTA Members:

Thomas Cook Retail Limited – ABTA W8361, J8601 & ATOL 0020
Thomas Cook Tour Operations Limited – ABTA V6896 & ATOL 1179
TCCT Retail Limited – ABTA Y6564, L8164 & ATOL 10585
Future Travel Limited – ABTA W6370, G856X & ATOL 5704
Freedom Travel Group Limited – ABTA W6417, G8381 & ATOL 6042

The Group further included an airline business which isn’t a member of ABTA but the vast preponderance of holidaymaker’s arrangements are covered through various kinds of financial protection and the majority of flight packages are covered by ATOL plus a smaller volume are packaged without flights and accommodation which is covered by ABTA.

Flights booked directly with Thomas Cook airlines are not covered by ATOL or ABTA so customers would have to contact their card issuer.

There are a number of different companies involved, with varying types of arrangements and what customers should do will depend on whether they’re currently away or have a forward booking, who they booked with, and what they booked.

Customers who are currently overseas on a flight package holiday will be financially protected under the ATOL scheme and should contact the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) who will advise on return flight arrangements and customers who are currently overseas on a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight are protected by ABTA and should continue their holiday as normal.

Customers who are currently overseas and staying in accommodation booked through Thomas Cook Tour Operations are financially protected by ABTA and should continue their holiday as normal but customers who are currently overseas and have booked a flight directly with the Thomas Cook Airline, or who have booked accommodation via Thomas Cook Retail with a third party, for example, Expedia are not financially protected.

For flights, they should contact the CAA in the first instance and for accommodation, they should contact the company specified on the travel documents and if you’ve booked a package holiday through a Thomas Cook Group retail company, but that holiday is provided by another travel company, then people should contact the travel company to check that the arrangements will proceed as normal.

Customers who have booked a Thomas Cook package holiday or accommodation through a Thomas Cook Group retail company (Thomas Cook, TCCT Retail Limited, Future Travel Limited or Freedom Travel Group Limited) these holidays will not go ahead, and you’ll be entitled to a refund.

If you’ve booked a Thomas Cook package holiday through another travel company, you should contact that company to discuss alternatives which may include re-booking or making alternative arrangements but if you’ve booked flights from Thomas Cook Airlines Limited, these are not covered by ATOL or ABTA protection, so people will need to pursue a claim through their card issuer.

Of course, if it was a bank and Boris Johnson and his pampered mates stood to lose money, he would have skipped right in and bailed them out but the problem with helping out Thomas Cook is that it’s not the responsibility of government, the problem lies heavily with the top management of Thomas Cook.

Companies like this don’t suddenly go bust, their management would have known about this for months, yet took a blatant couldn’t care less approach towards it and of course, we understand the argument about the moral hazards of bailing private companies out with taxpayers money, but, this is just another example of Boris Johnson’s questionable perception of morals.

Especially when there were tensions and uncertainties of the developing Brexit debacle for companies like Thomas Cook. With added costs throughout their sector and problems in planning without knowing what the deal was going to be or when.

But then if parliament can stump up the funds for the Royals, banks like RBS and the buildings of parliament to be renovated at hundreds of millions of pounds then why not save the jobs of thousands of people and one of the best holiday and flight firms in the world?

Abolishing Private Schools

Labour is thinking about abolishing private schools official party policy at its yearly conference in Brighton and the move, which comes from grassroots members, doesn’t have official backing but the party has revealed they will back close tax loopholes to level the playing field.

And in a rousing address, the Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner said that there very first budget will immediately close the tax loopholes used by elite private schools, and use that money to better the lives of all children.

But the “abolish-Eton” motion goes much further, arguing that private institutions are to be stripped of their charitable status and their assets redistributed across the state sector. It further wants to restrict university admissions for private school students to the same proportion as that of a wider population and John McDonnell threw his weight behind the campaign stating that independent schools, no longer need to exist.

And in her address, Angela Rayner set out Labour’s wide-ranging proposals for education reformation and she said a revamped Sure Start Plus programme would assist children, and a new National Education Service would give free nursery education for all two, three, and four-year-olds. She also promised to end the spiralling price of school uniforms.

She stated that parents are pushed into debt with children in clothes that usually don’t fit, and the Tories failing for four years to keep their promise to act and she said that Labour would set up a price cap to prevent the embarrassment of children priced out of school.

Jeremy Corbyn has defended Labours plans to scrap schools inspectorate Ofsted and the Labour leader said the Ofsted process created absolutely huge levels of stress for staff and pupils and under the Opposition’s plans, that is being set out at the Labour conference in Brighton, and a two-phase inspection system would be introduced.

Schools and education providers would be subject to regular health checks by local government, and more in-depth inspections led by Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMIs), full time, trained inspectors.

The HMIs would carry out inspections in response to concerns resulting from the regular health checks or those raised by parents, teachers and governors, rather than being done randomly and Jeremy Corbyn suggested the new system would be a more frequent form of supportive investigation.

But Schools Minister Nick Gibb announced the move would prevent parents having the most fundamental information and Labour said the system would ensure parents get in-depth and reliable information that they need about schools while decreasing stress for teachers.

What parents actually want is an education system that leaves no child behind and gets the best out of everyone and you don’t achieve the best by intimidating people and we’re losing nearly as many teachers as we’re hiring every year because of the levels of pressure they’re under.

Labour has already vowed to scrap formal primary school examinations, known as Sats, to alleviate stress. It would also introduce a new statutory definition of a school, and crack-down on an estimated 500 illegal schools which fall outside the current inspection system.

In too many cases, Ofsted’s judgements and grades reflect the affluence of a school’s intake and the social class of its pupils, not the performance of the school and school performance is far too important and complex to be simmered down to an over-simplified single grade, reducing all schools to one of four levels.

The current system is unfit for purpose, so the next Labour government will eliminate Ofsted and restore it with a policy that will give parents good and in-depth information that they need about schools but Ms Abbott stated that we should abolish private schools even though this overcritical Labour MP sent her own son to a private school, but isn’t this conveying the wrong message to the UK people?

And in 2014 the Independent Schools Council requested a report to highlight the impact that independent schools have on the British economy. The report estimated that independent schools support an £11.7 billion contribution to gross value added (GVA) in Britain.

This figure is reached by summing the saving to the taxpayer by not having to provide school places to 620,000 pupils, the value of employment generated by the independent schools, the tax revenue produced, directly or indirectly, by the independent sector, and the financial donation of their alumni and what are the Labour MPs going to do with their children if they can’t go to private schools? Her children would have to go to school with us peasants and not only her children, but other MPs children but then Animal Farm does represent them quite well.

So, will Labour MPs teach their children at home? Because it seems that they’re allergic to state schools when it comes to education.

Boris Johnson Confronted At Hospital By Furious Dad

Boris Johnson was confronted at a hospital by an angry dad who told the Prime Minister that the NHS is being destroyed and that his own daughter had nearly died the day before.

Omar Salem managed to blindside the Prime Minister and said that he was in La La Land as the Prime Minister was visiting a London Hospital to see the reality of public services under his leadership.

The dad told Boris Johnson that it took his baby daughter two hours to be treated at Whipps Cross University Hospital in Leytonstone, East London, and Boris Johnson certainly needs to get a handle of what’s going on with our NHS, and really? Would our Prime Minister really want this for his own children?

The hospital’s chief executive did later acknowledge that there had been temporary staff shortages on the ward, created by an unforeseen emergency in one section of the hospital.

Evidently, Mr Salem confronted the flustered Boris Johnson, although he doesn’t look very flustered to me, in fact, he looks pretty nonchalant to me as Mr Salem informed the Prime Minister that it was just not acceptable and that the ward was not safe for children.

Mr Salem told the Prime Minister that the NHS had been destroyed, but let’s face it, old Boris does look like he went to the hospital for a press opportunity, and if he didn’t want one, well, he’s definitely got one now and in other photos from the same visit Boris Johnson performed well for the cameras pouring out tea with NHS workers, but maybe he should stop loafing about and get some real work done instead of taking the opportunity for a press release.

Boris Johnson has been a Member of Parliament, Mayor of London, Cabinet Minister and now Prime Minister, and all this has happened while the NHS was being neglected, just like Mr Salem’s daughter had been and rather than having drips of money for press events he should get on with properly supporting the NHS so that patients can get the care they so justly deserve, where there are sufficient staffing and good working conditions and so that concerned parents can have some peace of mind.

This situation is not comfortable for anybody and it’s a frank discussion politician’s and the public need to have and should be a pretty significant issue in any future election because we need to have some clear and important solutions on how to solve this predicament and Boris if you can’t do it, then for Pete’s sake, simply surrender gracefully!

Why can’t Boris Johnson just be straight with people? But instead he simply makes false statements on the NHS as he likes but he can’t hide from the truth, or from patients and the Tories have plunged the health service into crisis through the years of cuts and privatisation and the Prime Minister shouldn’t be permitted to escape from the consequences this has had for patient care.

But later Boris Johnson stated that he was happy that Mr Salem had confronted him because he’s been Prime Minister for 57 days and that a part of his job was to communicate with people on the ground and listen to what they tell him about the big problems.

Nevertheless, Mr Salem wasn’t the latest and most calamitous, there has been a series of people confronting Boris Johnson in recent weeks.

Of course, at the moment the NHS is not fit for purpose, but should we really lay the onus at the feet of Boris Johnson because the NHS has been sinking for years under various governments, where it’s been poorly run with too many chiefs and not enough Indians, and far too much wastage and no central buying, so Boris, instead of wasting all that time on Brexit, why don’t you just concentrate on what’s the most important thing, our NHS!

We’re Making Progress For Brexit Deal

Boris Johnson doesn’t want to elaborate to the progress that they’re making but he did say that they’re making progress, and he said that what they need to do, so that people need to understand, well, there’s nothing treating the people of the United Kingdom like 6-year-olds, is there?

Anyhow, he proceeded to say that they need to obtain a way whereby the United Kingdom can come out of the EU and actually be able to do things differently, and not remain under the control of the EU in terms of laws and trade policy, which is the problem with the current arrangement.

And that we want to come out in such a way as to protect Ireland, and to make certain there isn’t a hard border of any sort in Northern Ireland, and to make sure they protect the Good Friday peace process.

Now the Tories believe they can do that and they think they can find a way forward. They believe they can solve that problem, and Boris Johnson believes they’re making some headway.

We heard Jean-Claude Juncker state that he doesn’t have any emotional attachment to the backstop, now Boris Johnson believes that is progress because they weren’t saying that a month ago but that it’s vital that whatever happens that we must prepare for a no-deal.

And he figures that we will be ready, and they will get set for no-deal on October 31.

Boris Johnson believes they can find a way forward, but why doesn’t he know the way forward because it’s more bluff albeit delivered without bluster this time.

We the people need to hear him say that he has a way forward because he continues to say that he believes he can find a way forward but does he? And we all know that Boris Johnson is great at meaningless chatter.

Clearly, before the referendum, the Tories hadn’t considered all the implications and they wanted to sell a dream, but as of yet, it’s not become a reality. Perhaps he should simply resign and hand it over to someone who could do the job much better? Because Boris will be held accountable for saying those words when the proverbial crap hits the fan.

Boris Johnson doesn’t care, he simply acts for bankers and hedge funds set to rake in 4.3 billion by gambling on the pound and UK economy tumbling through a no-deal. He doesn’t want a deal because he knows where his bread is buttered and it’s not with the common people.

And Boris Johnson is stalling because little or no progress is being made, so he keeps giving out obscure statements without any substance or detail and so that any deal that might be struck, he will be hailed the all-conquering hero.

Caffe Nero Refuses To Give Water

A Caffe Nero coffee shop has put itself in the middle of a PR nightmare after declining to give water to a blind man’s guide dog, and in a move that seemed rather harsh, and somewhat unhelpful to all parties involved, 40-year-old Oliver Gibbons dog Sydney was denied a drink at the coffee shop in Exmouth, Devon.

Sydney had been hard at work guiding Oliver Gibbons around the seaside town, but when they stopped for a drink, he was told to jog on. The coffee chain is now reviewing the situation and the chain have said that it’s not the company’s policy to refuse to give a bowl of water to a blind man’s guide dog.

But they simply said no and wandered off. It was a really warm day, and Oliver’s guide dog had been working hard and Oliver and his friend Helen Fox who helps him in his everyday life had just taken him off the harness for a free run.

And they were taken aback because any dog should be allowed a drink, especially as he’s a working dog but Caffe Nero said that they’re aware of the incident and are in the process of examining precisely what happened, and they also said that they absolutely comply with the legislation on access for guide dogs in all stores.

But, the whole thing hasn’t gone down well with the public and it’s really disheartening that the workers in this Caffe Nero made a decision to refuse giving water to this gentleman’s guide dog on such a hot day, and it’s disappointing that this level of customer service fell lower than anticipated from a national chain.

And Service dogs are always by their handler’s side and provide a valuable life-changing service, so it would be great if businesses could cater to their needs, as well as that of their owners, and this is quite shameful, particularly in the heat, and knowing that dogs have no sweat glands to help cool them down, and surely if they were so neurotic about using a bowl for the dog, then they could have easily have given the unfortunate dog a drink in one of those disposable cups, there is definitely no excuse.

And being disabled definitely trumps health and safety, and it’s understandable that health and safety might mean that dogs are not permitted (inside the establishment), but outside this dog required water, and it’s not like the poor dog was taking anything for granted, but it did mean that Sydney was being victimised against, and this coffee shop should be ashamed of themselves.

Perhaps the workers there were just not informed enough on laws regarding disabled people and they simply needed educating? But then health and safety against providing a water bowl, are you serious because I’m sure there are a lot more germs and bacteria swimming about in all those cups and mugs used by the general public.

And surely with some common sense and good hygiene, it wouldn’t be difficult to provide a fresh drinking container for a customers dog, particularly a working animal.

Boris Johnson Chickens Out Of Own Press Conference

Boris Johnson failed to turn up at his own press conference rather than face clamorous anti-Brexit demonstrators, so Xavier Bettel, the country’s leader, went ahead and talked to the press without the British Prime Minister, standing next to an abandoned podium as he vehemently reprimanded him.

And he criticised the UK’s incompetence to proffer fresh proposals to break the Brexit deadlock and he said that the timer was ticking and that Boris Johnson should quit talking and act.

Boris Johnson had been to Luxembourg to meet with the country’s leader and also with Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president, for the first time face-to-face but following enduring deafening boos and insults on the way in from assembled demonstrators, Boris Johnson walked out without doing his promised appearance in front of the media but a source said that he would rather do a clip in private with broadcasters away from the assembled public and press.

Demonstrating is a right in a democracy and it’s additionally necessary to be able to exchange and listen to one another but when the country’s leader was asked about Boris Johnson’s openness to breaking the law to deliver Brexit, he said that such a move from the government wouldn’t happen in Luxembourg.

Boris Johnson did ask for the press conference to be moved inside away from the public, but that the request had been rejected by the Luxembourgish government and Downing Street took the view that the Prime Minister wouldn’t be able to be heard well above the demonstrations and what’s the point of a press conference if the press can’t hear you?

However, Luxembourg government officials said that there was no room inside large enough to move the press conference and they added that Downing Street had suggested picking only a few handpicked journalists to come inside, but that the hosts had refused this on the grounds that it would have been unfair.

Talking to reporters without Boris Johnson, Mr Bettel suggested that there had been no progress from the meeting and that he knew that the UK government was unhappy with the Withdrawal Agreement as it stood and that’s why he thought it was important to speak to Prime Minister Boris Johnson to get proposals because they need more than just words.

An earlier meeting between Boris Johnson and Mr Juncker also ended without progress on the subject of the Irish backstop and President Juncker stated that it was the UK’s responsibility to come forth with legally operational solutions that are harmonious with the Withdrawal Agreement.

President Juncker emphasised the Commission’s continued compliance and openness to explore whether such proposals meet the objectiveness of the backstop but such proposals have not yet been made.

The demonstrators who frightened away Boris Johnson were essentially British nationals living in Luxembourg as about 200 people chanted noisily in the square outside the Luxembourg government headquarters, segregated from the location of the press conference by a large iron barrier and gate.

They held placards with slogans such as “Stop Brexit” and “we are not your bargaining chips” and while they waited for Boris Johnson they listened to the EU anthem “Ode to Joy” which was being pumped from a portable speaker system and chanted “stop the coup”.

And Boris Johnson later said in a private clip to broadcasters that he didn’t believe it would have been fair to the Prime Minister of Luxembourg for him to attend because there was clearly going to be a lot of noise and many of his points might have been drowned out but the protestors were however quiet for Mr Bettel, and in fact, cheered him when he came out.

Boris Johnson was quickly reprimanded by opposition politicians for the decision to skip the press conference and Boris Johnson is proving to be such a liar that he probably promised himself that he would turn up at the press conference and it just confirms that he has nothing to say so bypasses the scrutiny.

He can’t seem to give any responses to his hollow promises so chooses to hide and it’s just chicken promises from a chicken Prime Minister but the Prime Minister has faced numerous anti-Brexit protestors at a number of public appearances around the United Kingdom in the past few weeks, comically dubbed by critics a “Boos Cruise” and he’s been accused of embarrassing the country in front of Luxembourg.

And it’s now obvious that Boris Johnson’s bluster and swagger is now nothing more than hot air and it’s clear that Boris Johnson has no solutions to the backstop and no intention of getting a deal but he’s determined to pull us out of the EU, at whatever price and the image of the deserted podium in front of the Union Jack says it all, Boris Johnson is embarrassing Britain on the worlds stage and Mr Bettel’s decision to conduct the press conference without the Prime Minister was dismissed as being a stunt.

And it’s been said that the Prime Minister and his crew are working day in and day out to deliver a deal for Britain and that there’s no time for foolish stunts and Boris the Bulk might still be annoyed but still he had to go and hide for a bit from a few yelling expats in the least dangerous place in the world.

Poor Boris couldn’t even stand up to a few scary demonstrators and now most people will only see Boris Johnson whose a person who doesn’t have the stomach to do a press conference and he’s now actually confirming that he doesn’t have a backbone. So, who’s “the big girl’s blouse now?”

Brexit: Legal Loophole

Boris Johnson could circumvent a law preventing him from delivering a no-deal Brexit by utilising a major loophole in the legislation because there’s a flaw in the so-called Benn Act which was enacted by parliament earlier this month, that could force MPs opposed to a no-deal to take countermeasures.

The loophole means that the prime minister would be able to legally take Britain out of the EU without a deal even if MPs had voted for an agreement and under the terms of the Benn Act, Boris Johnson must ask the EU for a further delay to Brexit if MPs have not approved an exit deal by 19 October.

Under the terms of the Benn Act, Mr Johnson must request the EU for a further delay to Brexit if MPs have not accepted an exit deal by 19 October and if a deal is approved, the duty to request an extension would be overridden.

Nonetheless, there is no legal duty on the government to actually implement the terms of the deal, even if MPs have approved it, so Boris Johnson could therefore just decline to bring forward the Withdrawal Bill, which is required to implement the deal in law.

In that situation, MPs would have approved a deal but it would not have been formally approved in law, meaning the United Kingdom would leave the EU on 31 October without a deal in position.

The suggestion provoked speculation that Boris Johnson could tell Eurosceptic Tory MPs in the European Research Group (ERG) to vote for a deal while secretly declaring that he would not implement it and the 2018 EU Withdrawal Act sets out additional obligations that the government must reach before a deal can be completely approved, including a new law implementing the agreement.

Summing it up, if the Commons supports the withdrawal agreement but these further obligations are not settled before 31 October 2019, then two results follow. First, the Benn Act will not apply to require the Prime Minister to request an extension from the EU. And, second, we will leave with No Deal.

So, imagine the Prime Minister says secretly to the ERG ‘support my withdrawal agreement and I will deliver no-deal.’ In those circumstances, with the assistance of some Labour MPs, the Commons might support even Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement.

The Prime Minister would, therefore, have avoided the obligation in the Benn Act to request an extension and could deliver no-deal and it follows reports that Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s top adviser, has told government aides that ministers could prorogue parliament again in October if the Supreme Court, which will hear an appeal this week, rules that the initial suspension was illegal.

And it’s thought that Boris Johnson could suspend parliament again once MPs had voted in support of a Brexit deal, thereby circumventing the Benn Act, therefore denying his opponents the chance to pass further legislation blocking a no-deal.

The loophole has been discussed with MPs and they’ve been compelled to take countermeasures. This should include refusing to vote for any Brexit deal before 19 October, and those who want the Withdrawal Agreement should refuse on the grounds that, by voting for it, they may well be delivering a no-deal.

Boris Johnson would then be required to ask for a Brexit continuation until 31 January, giving loads of time for the withdrawal agreement to be approved and completely approved, if MPs consented to it but passing a deal which relies on votes from the Tories who have been stripped of the whip and the duo and or a fair number of Labour MPs who back a deal.

Nevertheless, if there’s a scent of underhand dealing like this, obviously Labour isn’t going to support it and it’s likely the whip-less Tories won’t either and if the deal makes different arrangments for Northern Ireland then the rest of the United Kingdom, it’s also possible to put off the DUP and perhaps the ERG consider Boris Johnson enough of a liar not to trust him to keep his word and go without a deal but whichever way he turns, this despicable Prime Minister has no support for his derangement.

Girl, 10, Forced To Marry A 22-Year-Old Man

This is a case that has prompted sweeping condemnation as the girl seemed to be smiling, evidently oblivious of what was actually happening and the authorities have now moved to annul the marriage and press charges against the adults concerned.

But this has highlighted the situation of hundreds of thousands of girls who are forced into marriage in Iran and countless other parts of the globe and it heart-breaking to see the joy in the face of the child bride because it confirms she simply didn’t realise what was happening around her and it practically looked like she was playing a game with the boy next door.

The phrase child marriage is a dressy language that hides how nasty this practice is and the right title for this should be child rape.

The legal age of marriage in Iran is 13 for a girl and 15 for a boy, according to the country’s understanding of Sharia Law. Nevertheless, marriages can still be carried out at a younger age with the permission of the father or paternal grandfather and with consent from the court judge.

And since March of last year, there have been 43,000 weddings in Iran where the bride was aged 10-15 years old but campaigners say the actual figures are higher as girls from larger and more disadvantaged families, particularly in rural regions, are exchanged in return for money or goods and according to Amnesty International, some 17 per cent of girls in Iran are married before they’re 18 years old.

Girls are usually expected to live with their husbands and Iranian law allows men to engage in sexual behaviour with their wife, regardless of her age, without her permission, in other words, men are permitted to rape their child wives.

But the Iranian Parliament is now said to be contemplating moves to increase legal marriage age, even though they refused a similar move in December of last year and Amnesty International has called on Parliament to equalise the marriage age between girls and boys and take all required steps to ensure that women enter and remain in marriage on the basis of their free choice and the move is getting support in the Iranian Parliament, particularly with female politicians leading the charge.

And transforming culture along with the laws in confronting child marriage is a path that must be taken as similar reports surfaced in Iran earlier this year of an 11-year-old girl who was forced to marry a man four times her age, who then repeatedly raped her.

But under Iran’s Civil Code, men have the right to two permanent wives in polygamous marriages and as many wives as they want in temporary marriages but child marriages are damaging to girls and women and are a form of brutality against them.
