    Theresa May is the worst PM for decades but yet she is safe as houses. Mainly because the opposition is even worse. One may ponder is it even possible for any UK-government to be worse than the current lot but apparently that is the case.

    British politics is changing beyond recognition. Brexit is destroying the Tories while Labour is falling apart as many MPs are fed up with the commie-Corbyn who also sympathises terrorists.

    Just think about poverty and crime in the USA. Now think again if abortion was banned in all of the USA what do you think would poverty and crime be so bad that today's real situation would even be ideal?

    Hungary can propose something like that because there are hardly any third-world immigrants in that country. T Their problem isnt immigration but emigration as hundreds of thousands have moved to the west. 50 years of communism which destroyed their economy like elsewhere in Eastern-Europe ended 30 years ago and those countries still arent on their feet. That is all you need to know about communism.

    If you look at the map of the world you should realise that nobody just turns up in Canada by chance unless they hate the USA or can swim thousands of miles and accidentally end up on the shores of Canada. Similar here in Finland as we receive these refugees fleeing from war-torn countries escaping persecution. Somehow it is never mentioned in our media that it is impossible to enter Finland without passing through several perfectly safe countries.

    If Brexit is delayed that could cause a dilemma as to how to deal with the upcoming EU-elections.

    I know this is a tongue-in-cheek-thread but on a serious note Russia allowed the Baltic States to restore their independence but did not return Karelia to Finland. They should have. Similarly, the reasons dont exist any longer why the act of Union between England and Scotland was signed in 1707. Scotland should secede.

    One way to attack a country is to create a fifth column in that country. As the famous Chinese warlord Sun Tzu said thousands of years ago that the cleverest form of warfare is that when your enemy doesnt realise that he is at war with you. Still valid today.

    Ross Perot was some sort of a protest-candidate in 1992 and to a lesser extent in 1996. Somewhat telling that a protest-candidate was a multi-millionaire.

    How do all those Haitians end up in Canada? I can understand that Mexicans and Central-Americans enter the USA by secretly crossing the border, climbing over some wall or fence. However, outside of the USA you can only enter Canada illegally by rowing or swimming there.

    Theresa May didn't win the confidence-votes within her party at first and then in parliament at large because anyone would think she is the best person for PM. It's only because nobody in the Tories wants her job. Jeremy Corbyn, on the other hand, wants her job very badly and he is doing his best to trigger an election. May is lucky to have Corbyn as her main-opposer. If there was Tony Blair in his heyday he would chew this Tory-government apart.

    Both the USA and Canada are artificial countries. However, the USA has the excuse of being the economic and military super-power of the world. If the USA disintegrated and every state became an Independent country it would be very unlikely that any of those states would single-handedly become a world super-power.

    I often wonder if the Spanish-speaking countries of South-America had formed some Estados Unidos De America Del Sur instead of there being several different countries would that one big country be better off than the present different countries. Reversely, if all the Canadian provinces were different countries would most of them be better off compared to what is now? After all, nine Canadian provinces are geographically larger than France, the geographically largest country in Western-Europe.

    When Norway voted against joining the EU there were similar demands that there should be a hard border between Sweden/Finland and Norway even though the Nordic countries has been a passport-free zone since the 1950's. It is quite touching how concerned the EU is about its borders. I just wish the same concern applied to illegal immigration across the Mediterranean so that the illegal immigrants wouldnt be towed to Europe instead of back to where they started their perilous journeys.

    Theresa May has united the country at least on one way. Namely, just about everyone thinks she is completely useless as PM.

    Brexit is a two-way street. Namely, even if it turns out to be a mistake for the Brits it also hurts what is left of the EU. Losing a big major member-state is huge defeat for the EU too. On the other hand, Brexit is a relief for the most ardent federalists within the EU as the most recalcitrant member-state is leaving there is less opposition to the idea of a European super-state.

    A British work-mate of mine is very nervous about how Brexit is going to affect his life in Finland. He has to go through some bureacratic procedures and may even have to apply for a residence-permit. Fair enough if those rules applied to everyone but somehow people from the MENA-countries have no bureacratic problems whatsoever.

    Both main parties are split in the middle regarding Brexit. Another example how the traditional party-division is outdated. Corbyn is also pro-Brexit but he is using this present turmoil as an opportunity to catapult him to power.
  19. -TSS-
    Simple maths really. Those who oppose Brexit oppose any deal because they dont want Brexit. Those who want Brexit dont want a crap deal. Hence the offered deal was rejected in parliament. May's days are numbered. Actually, all these European Ms, Merkel. Macron and May, are political corpses. At least Merkel had her powerful moments, which cant be said of the other two Ms.

    I guess the promise not to lead the party into the next election was the price May had to pay not to be thrown out immediately.

    If and when Theresa May loses the Brexit-vote in Parliament she will cling on as PM but only because there is no obvious successor within the Tories. However, she will be a lame duck.

    Next Tuesday is the moment of truth unless May chickens out again and further postpones the vote. The Brits are in an unenviable position regarding their politicians. Their PM is indecisive and weak while the alternative is an unelectable communist.

    Yes, many of those people are unbearable hypocrites. Here in Finland we have one female-politician, a socialist(surprise), who goes on constantly about how the climate-change is the biggest challenge of our lifetime and we must do everything to stop it. Once the same politician posted on her instagramm-account pictures of her holiday in the Mediterranean. People rightly asked her how did she get there. Did she row there or did she even swim all the way over there.

    In a country like Finland, and I suspect that in Canada too, if you live in a house which has central-heating your carbon footprint is already higher than that of several people in countries of the so-called developing countries. If you turn on the light in your heated house your carbon footprint grows again. If you have a car that really increases your carbon footprint. If you take a foteign holiday especially by flying there your carbon footprint grows exponentially. We keep on being reminded of this all the time by people who simultaneosly are worried about ageing population and labour-shortage(hahah!) and as a solution propose more immigration.
  25. -TSS-
    If you believe in man-made climate change then in order to be logical you surely must be opposed to mass-immigration from low carbon footprint countries to high carbon footprint countries such as Finland or Canada. We are told that the carbon footprint of an average Finn is more than 10 times that of a person from the so-called development countries.
