Watch Theresa May's resignation speech in full

Brexit Blues!


The British political landscape could be in for radical change following the European elections. Will the European Election results replicate themselves in the General Election? In the next Parliament will it be a Brexit Government opposed by a Liberal Democrat /Green/SNP Opposition? Is the downfall of Mrs May also the demise of Labour and Conservative Parties?  And how should we interpret her resignation tears?






Watching Mrs May's emotional resignation speech I was reminded of the lyrics of a popular Tommy Steele song from the '50's. It goes like this:


Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues 
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose 
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way 
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night 
'cause everythin's wrong, and nothin' ain't right 
Without you, you got me singin' the blues
The moon and stars no longer shine 
The dream is gone I thought was mine 
There's nothin' left for me to do 
But cry-y-y-y over you
Well, I never felt more like runnin' away 
But why should I go 'cause I couldn't stay 
Without you, you got me singin' the blues
Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues 
'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose 
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way 
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night 
'cause everythin's

Clearly Mrs May found her resignation speech outside No. 10 very emotional. At least she held out until the very last sentences. 

"I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honour of my life to hold,"  her voice breaking under the strain. "The second female Prime Minister but certainly not the  last. I do so with no ill-will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love." 

At this point she broke down completely and quickly turned tail to re-enter No. 10 to hide her tears from the cameras and press.

Emotional tears are, it is thought, an uniquely human characteristic. They are associated predominantly with the feelings of sadness and regret - although I once had a sister-in-law who frequently laughed until she cried, so the exact opposite can also be true! 

However it is pain, either physical or psychological, that usually makes people cry, triggered by sensation, memory or empathy - essential characteristics for the well-adjusted person. 

Children cry more than adults and women seem to cry more than men, but the socialising process discourages both from doing so, so that adults particularly in public, endeavour to control the tears from flowing. 

Sometimes however the natural processes overwhelm the socially induced inhibitions when tears and associated facial expressions are the consequence, as Mrs May and the rest of us discovered outside number 10.

She obviously found the thought of being forced to leave her important job and no doubt regret over her failed Brexit negotiations, overwhelming.

It is hard not to recall the rather similar circumstances surrounding the departure of the only other female PM to whom she referred, Margaret Thatcher, who left Downing Street in 1990 in tears, having also been forced out by her colleagues. 

In terms of 'straws that break the backs of camels', the Poll Tax was Mrs Thatcher's, whilst Brexit has been Mrs May's.

Both Mrs Thatcher and Mrs May cried in public when their term came to an end which is in contrast to the men who left the post and reacted differently. Post-war, Atlee, Churchill (twice), Eden, Macmillan, Hume, Wilson (twice), Heath, Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron all had their own idiosyncratic ways of dealing with the disappointment of leaving office, but none I think shed tears in public.

Tears are often considered a sign of weakness but they can also be a sign of empathetic strength. They can indicate that most precious human ability to sympathise with others in their distress or difficulty. Tragedy can evoke sadness and tears, as demonstrated by the extraordinary reaction to the death of Princess Diana. People of all ages and categories were seen to weep openly. It caught the mood of the whole nation, from which the Royal Family itself, seemed to be strangely detached.

We have recently witnessed how this important natural emotion can be manipulated for political purposes. It has become a feature of the mass demonstrations, either organised or spontaneous, that have followed apparent 'terrorist events' in 'Western' conurbations.

Following the Manchester alleged terrorist attack, the Independent headed up an article with: 

'There were young children crying their eyes out': Survivors of the Manchester bombing relive the horror of the attack. (See: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/manchester-terrorist-attack-what-happened-survivors-eyewitness-accounts-a7752326.html )  

Should this be filed under 'accurate reporting' or 'intentional emotional manipulation'? I'm not too sure.

Any images of genuine emotion immediately following that event are impossible to find. ( For a forensic examination of that suspicious incident see: http://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/2019/05/manchester-bombing-analysed.html )

However I did come across this one of Mrs May, this time fully in control of her emotions, writing a message for the book of condolence for the victims of the attack on Manchester Arena, at Manchester Town Hall. The image is meant to suggest a dignified but sympathetic Prime Minister, which it does. But the contrast with her resignation speech is too obvious to dwell on.


(Reuters)  

Neither Mrs May or Mrs Thatcher were noted for their empathy, or what is termed 'emotional intelligence', in fact both demonstrated their social awkwardness, partly no doubt by having to achieve as a woman, in what is still predominantly a masculine world. Is it that women can only succeed in politics, and possibly other professional arenas, if they ditch their feminine characteristics and ape male ones? Sad if true.

Yet paradoxically men can sometimes do better in the empathy stakes. Who can forget the contrast between Jeremy Corbyn and Mrs May following the Grenfell Tower disaster, captured in the following photograph? Or indeed Mrs May's social awkwardness and strategic miscalculation that was a contributing factor to the disasters of the General Election and Brexit negotiations. 

Doing a party shuffle at the Conservative Party conference only emphasied the defect. If you are not naturally 'cool', it is best not to pretend you are, thus proving you are not!

Few would question Mrs May's impressive intellectual powers, that enabled her to master her brief and recall endless factual details, skills she regularly employed in Parliament every Wednesday at least. But for social skills and 'emotional intelligence' she has been found sadly wanting. 

It is this more than anything, that has led to her political downfall. Her problem has been the Conservative Party problem. In the context of policy her promises of governing for all has appeared empty and illusory. 

Her time at the Home Office and No 10 has appeared cold, uncaring and more than a touch sinister. Some may think she was the nominee of the secret state, and has been the spokesperson of its policy. 

Brexit was run from the Cabinet Office which is now presided over by Sir Mark Sedwill who worked for her in the Home Office and was her personal choice for his present role without competition. For the first time ever, he combines the roles of Cabinet Secretary, Head of the Civil Service and National Security Adviser!

It is instructive to see that the leading competitor for her job, Boris Johnson, is perhaps her exact alter ego, and that he is seen as the only and last hope to rescue both a Brexit negotiation and the Conservative Party from the edge of irredeemable catastrophe.



Good tears: Queen moved to tears as she unveils memorial to 32 men from one regiment who have died in the last decade.
The Queen appears to wipe away a tear at a service for fallen soldiers

Where were her tears at Grenfell? Where were her tears or even concern at the murder of unarmed civilians in Gaza and the West Bank? Where were her tears for the starving of Yemen? Where her tears for the homeless of Britain or for those dying whilst being assessed for 'universal credit' or waiting for hospital treatment?

In the light of the above, we can only conclude that the emotion demonstrated outside No 10 Downing Street was essentially motivated by self-pity and regret. Effectively she felt sorry for herself in contrast with her concern for others.

We may arguably be all 'tarred with the same brush' but evenso, we might expect better from our Prime Minister. In such circumstances I might feel empathy for her loss of office but sadly cannot sympathise with it.
The 9/11 official narrative fails at EVERY level, yet Western Governments that must know it is a fabrication from top to bottom, stick with it and denigrate anyone who challenges it. What does this say about our Western Governments?

The the alleged pilot of UA 93, the plane that allegedly crashed at Shanksville,  amazingly leaving no evidence of plane or bodies on the ground, could not have been doing so, because he was speaking on the telephone to his girl friend in Germany - after the plane had allegedly taken off.

Facebook Censorship. To friends and contacts

To those used to hearing from me or expecting a reply on Facebook as Tim Veater (https://www.facebook.com/I have to apologise. I am unable to comment or reply to posts or personal messages, because whoever is responsible for such things at that organisation, has decided to block me for thirty days.

This is because they allege in one of my posts, I have broken their 'community standards'. It is not an isolated incident. It has occured twice previously.

In fact, it results from criticism I made of Israel on Israel-critical posts by others. More specifically, Israel's policy recently implemented, of shooting to kill or injure, unarmed civilians and of firing on unarmed fishermen in their boats, for fishing outside an arbitrarily imposed six mile fishing limit. 

Despite comparatively moderate language, this was considered a breach of its 'community standards'. In reality it is evidence that Face book censors criticism of Israel; that evil actions by that state, that would not be tolerated in any other, cannot be condemned on the Facebook platform without risk of exclusion. 

Quite contrary to its claim of allowing free speech, incidentally guaranteed by the American Constitution, it uses these and other devious methods to prevent well-deserved criticism of Israel.

How can this not be viewed as part of an international effort by western governments, implemented by the media giants, to impose a covert and pernicious system of censorship and mind control on its users and wider population, directed towards limiting criticism of the evil policy emanating from Israel and conversely supportive of world-wide Zionism?

Can anyone explain why, amazingly, no alleged Hamas 'rockets' were fired during the 'Eurovision' spectacular????? Suggestions have been made this was because the Israel Government bribed them. An alternative interpretation and explanation might be that 'Hamas' is actually controlled by Israel and used merely for propaganda purposes and to justify its unjustifiable bombing and killing.

Israel kills Gaza protesters as UN body condemns “unlawful” force



Gaza’s health ministry identified the Palestinians slain on Friday as 29-year-old Nidal Abd al-Karim Ahmad Shatat, shot in the chest, and 24-year-old Jihad Munir Khalid Harara, shot in the head.
Israel directly targeted medics and ambulances with gas grenades during Friday’s demonstrations, the ministry stated.
Around 190 Palestinians were injured during Friday’s protests, more than half of them by live fire, according toAl Mezan, a human rights group in Gaza. Two were critically injured, the health ministry said.
Four journalists were hit by tear gas canisters and live fire while covering the protests, according to Al Mezan.
Nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed during the Great March of Return mobilizations, including 41 children, two women, two journalists, three paramedics and eight persons with a disability, Al Mezan said.


The Israeli government continued to enforce severe and discriminatory restrictions on Palestinians’ human rights; restrict the movement of people and goods into and out of the Gaza Strip; and facilitate the unlawful transfer of Israeli citizens to settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces stationed on the Israeli side of the fences separating Gaza and Israel responded to demonstrations for Palestinian rights on the Gaza side with excessive lethal force. Between March 30 and November 19, security forces killed 189 Palestinian demonstrators, including 31 children and 3 medical workers, and wounded more than 5,800 with live fire. Demonstrators threw rocks and “Molotov cocktails,” used slingshots to hurl projectiles, and launched kites bearing incendiary materials, which caused significant property damage to nearby Israeli communities, and, in at least one instance, fired towards soldiers. Officers repeatedly fired on protesters who posed no imminent threat to life, pursuant to expansive open-fire orders from senior officials that contravene international human rights law standards. In May, the United Nations Human Rights Council set-up a commission of inquiry to investigate the events in Gaza, with a view to identifying those responsible, including in the chain of command, and ensuring accountability.
The Israeli army also launched intermittent air and artillery strikes in the Gaza Strip, killing 37 Palestinians between March 30 and November 19, including at least five civilians. Palestinian armed groups fired 1138 rockets and mortars indiscriminately toward Israel from Gaza as of November 13, according to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, a major increase over previous years, killing one person and injuring at least 40, including civilians.
IN FACT......

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Israel Defense Forces cut down the fishing zone for fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip in response to incendiary balloons sent from Gaza that sparked several fires in southern Israel.
The move appears to be retaliation for attacks by Gaza residents that causes at least six blazes in Israeli Gaza-border communities on Wednesday. Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services reported 11 fires in the region as Israel endures a heat wave.
Wednesday night’s decision, restricting the Gaza fishing zone to 10 nautical miles, came a day after the zone had been increased to 15 nautical miles. The zone has been as small as six nautical miles, and before the second intifada began in 2000 it was as large as 28 nautical miles.

Navy Opens Fire on Gaza Fishermen

Israeli naval forces opened fire at Palestinian fishermen, on Friday morning.
Locals reported that Israeli naval boats opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported, according to Ma’an.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas, if they approach the buffer zone, as authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for 10 years.

Lyon now. Berlin next?

Is there now a new policy of banning collected images of a 'terrorist' event on Google 'search'? Try as I may I could not find a still of the 'CNEWS' image in the following interview with a woman focused wholly on her upper torso excluding her face. She wears a t-shirt on which is printed in bold lettering 'BERLIN' plus other Russian(?) or other indecipherable wording.  The t-shirt also includes an image of what appears to be two elderly men kissing passionately. She also wears a necklace with an owl image on it. Can anyone make sense of it?

The T-shirt the witness is wearing for the interview:

The most-popular and oft-photographed mural of the East Side Gallery in Berlin is a close-up of two men kissing.
It is known as "The Kiss" or "Brother Kiss" and was first painted by Russian artist Dimitri Vrubel in 1990. This is the story behind the famous image. Eleven years later, Vrubel, saw "The Kiss" by Régis Bossu, is a Frenchman born in Verdun, in an old Paris Match and used it as a model for his painting on the remains of a section of the Berlin Wall. 
When Brezhnev finished his speech, East German President Erich Honnecker opened his arms to congratulate him with a big kiss, a normal ritual for socialist buddies. A dozen photographers opened a fire of flashes. Régis, standing in the back row, had his camera equipped with a 80-200 mm telephoto lens. He pressed the shutter release of his Nikon camera at the decisive moment and caught the embrace as a close-up on Kodak Tri-X black-and-white film.
The original photo was taken in 1979 to commemorate 30 years of the Soviet Pact, which is also 40 years ago. It is also thirty years since the Berlin wall came down. Any significance there?

Police have released this CCTV image of the man they want to speak to
French police have released an image of a bombing suspect after seven people were injured in a "low force" blast in Lyon.
An anti-terrorism investigation was launched after the attack at a Brioche Doree bakery at roughly 5.30pm local time (4.30pm BST).
Denis Broliquier, the mayor of Lyon's second district, told French media that a man was captured on surveillance cameras dropping a sack or suitcase before it exploded.
French police shared a photo on Twitter of a suspect wearing dark glasses, with his face covered while pushing a bicycle.
Mr Broliquier told BFMTV the suspect arrived minutes after the explosion, and added: "What I saw was a refrigerated cooler in the Brioche Doree, whose windows had been shattered. It was the windows... that superficially injured the people who were 1, 2 or 3 metres (yards) away."
He added: "But the fridge itself wasn't that damaged, which means the device had low force."
Mr Broliquier continued: "It's not the apocalypse... there's no danger. There's no risk."

So putting the pieces together we have an explosion in Lyon which is treated as a terrorist act. It happens just as Macron, who is under siege by Yellow Vesters, is being interviewed on You tube live. The blast, consisting of bolts is said to injure 13 people. There is no structural damage other than a small amount of broken glass on road. Witnesses confirm this. Meanwhile an headless/anonymous woman appears to dominate the interview. The focus is on her T-shirt although there is also less obvious symbolism. What are the themes? Berlin in capitals. German/Russian collusion. Homosexuality. A slogan in Russian. And a very discrete masonic symbol. Now tell me I'm imagining things but I would say that adds up to a pretty interesting package. Even a clue as to who might be the organisers and even where the next event may be.

Of course on the other hand, this may all be taken as supposition, conjecture and coincidence, with no substance whatsoever. 

Another small coincidence whilst we are at it:
