Our regular corespondent, Terry Field of England, France and Florida, seems to have taken a lead from the Romantic poet Samuel Coleridge in this epistle, perhaps having awaken from a restless sleep to pin the following vision of what yet could be.
Understanding Mr. Field's vision does require an extensive knowledge of British and European politics and history. And a willingness to let one's imagination float a bit under what, a 'Pleasure Dome'?- GNH
Let’s be
chipper about Brexit. It COULD all work out well !!! by Terry Field
The dream of
success goes something like this.
The
mechanisms for leaving the European Union have been prepared in advance with
care and cool deliberation by highly talented political operatives. It is
probable that there will be a declaration of a general election on the day in
October that offers an election date of 1st November.
In the count-down to that election, there will be no Brexit
intervention by the government. None. The clock will tick down, since it was
set in motion by the May Government and ratified by parliament. In the interval
of 25 days between declaration and election, only the clock will act, The
Johnston Junta – for elected by 100,000 unrepresentative Antiquities, makes it
just that – is driven by a considered response long ago structured by the very
talented Mr. Cummings and a small number of others. Most of them in Trumpies in
Washington.
There will be attempts to stop this. In the courts. In the
Parliament. Perhaps involving the functioning of the monarch.
BUT
If this process is stopped half way through the election
period ending on the 1st November, then the entire body of the
Brexit Party, the present Conservative Party voters, a proportion of the Labour
vote, and the DUPers will all vote to reinstate the exit process. And they will
all vote within the framework of and directly for the ruling Conservative
Party.
No other choice offers the prospect of effective exercise of power.
The Greens, the
communist party aka The Labour Party, the assorted lost folk of the ‘no-particular
party but I am ever-so Politically Correct’ voters will fragment into their
little tribes, and proceed to wipe each other out in the election – this is a
first past the post system. Ruthless and effective in dumping the duds and
no-hopers. Only focused strength and tactical voting will win. And the Tories
have that in their grasp. Farage will be the only one voting Brexit Party.
Johnston will walk it.
Then, here will be a real choice, and it will be his to make.
At that point he needs nobody at all. He dumps Dominic
Cummings; he has served his purpose.
Does he need no-deal? Not
at all. The election is his. He commands the stage like a colossus.
But then, even though Britain is weaker than America, that
slow moving behemoth wakes up to the fact that Perfidious Albion HAS NOT LEFT
YET!. It was stopped by the heroic opposition of left-leaning Tories in the
last parliament.
Britain therefore still functions in the EU, as the process
was stopped, by order of the courts and by Parliament taking control of the
agenda in the last moment and executing legislation via its control of the business of the house. The naïve folk who
stopped it thought they were thwarting
Johnston, but they were in fact giving him electoral success and the future. Johnston did not try to stop them. He was secretly banking on it.
In a flash,
they won him the election, smashed the Brexit Party, neutered Lib Dems,
marginalized the communists aka The Corbyn Labour Party.
Now, in
early November, he is a man with infinite possibilities.
He has a
comfortable majority. He is clear of the flatheads from the DUP. He sees an
eviscerated Labour Party before him on the opposite benches. He sees a bunch
of- as ever- infinitely malleable Lib-Dems – gushing rage and impotence – and
the odd Green from the never-never-land of Brighton and Hove. The ERG simmer
and bubble, but his parliamentary majority of the fully corrupted consign them
to insignificance.
In America,
the Plan cobbled together by Trump and the man he thought he could control,
Johnston, for smashing The EU via the British trojan Horse has entirely unraveled.
Britain – those perfidious swine – they have NOT LEFT!! And they show no sign
of so doing.
Johnston, being an Oxford Educated classicist, read Cisero
and the fate of Catilina – he knows JUST how fast things can change. And when
he sees an American ‘friend’, arrive from Washington, he well knows the
short sword is there to one day open his political viscera when his guard is
down. And leaving the EU is not just dropping one’s guard to America, it is
helping them point their sword at the British jugular and pulling the blade to
the national neck for them.
When compared to the United States, outside the EU Britain
has in real effect the fire power of Zimbabwe on a bad day now. He thought of
that when the American mustachioed lunatic Bolton (a man who makes Herman Kahn
look cuddly) visited offering ‘sector by sector’ deals in the twinkling of an
eye – just as long as the UK dumps its entire foreign policy and inserts the
Foreign Office into a cobwebbed annex of the State Department.
Now the fully empowered and totally unencumbered Johnston
looks benignly on Brussels, and EVERY Tory MP short of the headbanging ERG
needs HIM in another five years’ time!!! He is electoral gold. He is their
pimp. They will do what he wants, where he wants it, when he wants it. He OWNS
the Tory Party.
They – the Tory MPs - all know the moment of nationalistic madness has passed. Farage has left the country and taken up a roll in Mississippi running a radio station called Darkbart. The Tory ranks now all look to five years’ time and a re-run of the gravy train.
Below Nigel Farage, a Brexit leader
They will follow Johnston ANYWHERE!!!
Even up and into the Berlaymont Building and never leave
it!!!!!! Oh those Crepes Suzette!!!
SO NOW the real agenda begins. Europe is stuffed. Deflating
and shrinking, very fearful, assaulted by both America and China, full of race
competition violence, full of mutual suspicion, trying to form a European Army
but incapable of forming a brigade, with NO direction, run now by a clearly
somewhat deranged blond female German failed political nonentity with a nice
line in power-haircuts and hordes of children by NO political sense at all.
Thus now Johnston then approaches his real target. NOT
powerful, always-dangerous Washington keen on using Britain to smash the rival
EU; no, he approaches both Russia and Brussels via Berlin at the same time to
forge the only rational European structure and one that should have been done
LONG ago. Meanwhile Germany and Russia have taken about all they plan to from
Trump. They are open to offers. Any offers. And Johnston has the offer of the millennium
for them. Which they accept as though it is Christmas. Which, happily, it
actually is.
He invites Europe – in reality Germany (The Frogs always do
what they are told) - to reconstruct its democracy with looser outer ties to
the stragglers – the lazy latins and the dreamer British. BUT he also invites
Russia in. IT oozes raw materials, space, brains and many good Germans there
since the 18th century pretending to really be Russian. Germany
wanted to do this for decades, but it had and has NO political legitimacy to
propose this. IT thought Britain opposed it, as indeed it did, before America went
away and Trump cut the mooring line for the British once ‘unsinkable aircraft
carrier’. Germany of course also risked American anger with French rage were it
to openly contemplate Russia as a part of the European scene.
Yet now all has changed.
America is gone to Trump Heaven, China is run by a new
Stalin-like figure, and Johnston is free to re-forge the European Great Game.
He alone can do so. He can bring ALL the parties together in the European
continent including Russia – now to be fully together and unified in a grand
bargain. Remember; Britain has NOT left the EU yet. France sits in the corner
steaming. China is mad as hell with Russia at this unanticipated development,,
but in one bound Russia is now free of both the fear of China in the Pacific
east; and it can relax entirely about America.
Johnston has
recreated 1913 all over again.
Only now
with a love fest between Russia and Germany that will endure and grow.
The REAL
Europe, of Britain, Russia, Germany fully co-operative - are
united as was always the dream and ALL others are out of the picture.
The United States is where it was before the First World War. Nowhere at all. Just very big, isolated and self- obsessed. It really has become a nowhere in the new Johnston-designed now. It can buddy up to Japan, suffer from the Yellow Peril for all of eternity, but the action – the real action - is once again in the full and complete Europe. The vitality of 19th century Europe is here once more. The concentration of synergies commands the world.
Britain of
course will then have returned to be itself. A political free-radical, doing
its own thing. There is no transaction charge in the capital markets in London.
It sails free and vigorous to endless commercial opportunity. In a flash,
across Europe, socialism, the infection of the 19th century injected
into the twentieth, is now dead, buried, and gone. Germany and Russia command Poland far more profitably than they did when they tried it with tanks and
there is no mess to clean up. Indeed, there has never been a better time to
live anywhere between the Rhine and Moscow.
And
Johnston, the lightweight, reviled liar, cheat, leaver-of-wife
man-we-love-to-hate, has changed the world entirely.
And with no
help at all from Dominic Cummings. who now passes his time in an asylum in
Surrey, where through the haze of drugs he wonders just what happened to his
version of reality. - Terry Field
