What are some harsh life lessons the corporate world taught you?

The prostitution of economic ownership to the highest bidder has to all intent and purposes made Eunuchs of many of our Governments.

The harshest and most important for me has been that Corporate Globalisation is a threat to Nation State Economic Sovereignty.

The prostitution of economic ownership to the highest bidder has to all intent and purposes made Eunuchs of many of our Governments.

Global ownership of the movement of investment funds by powerful self-interested domineering groups who decide the how and when of Politics and Policy has created digit Labour that can be made non-existent at the press of a keyboard button.

I do not blame the Corporate. I blame the Government(s) for being weak, ineffective, intellectually challenged and lazy.

Instead of working to create dynamic vibrancy within their own economic systems they have sat back and watched the Globalization coup take over their countries.

I know I live in Australia. We were bought and sold a long time ago.

What is the most important thing you have done?

It is ‘standing up to the monolithic power of a Government(s)’. I have had to stand firm in the face of extreme abuse of power by UK and Australian Government Agencies who condemned my right to write of the World as I saw and see it.

It is ‘standing up to the monolithic power of a Government(s)’. I have had to stand firm in the face of extreme abuse of power by UK and Australian Government Agencies who condemned my right to write of the World as I saw and see it.

It is not easy to do so when you are alone with no help. Governments are ruthless and completely non-transparent and even more so when they are able to bully a person who only has his self-respect and belief in himself as protection.

The ‘contortion of circumstance’ they manufactured in an attempt to silence me was an Oscar deserving ‘Alice in Wonderland’.

Being threatened with the possibility of being put into a mental institution when there is nothing wrong with you is an absolute derogation of human rights by a system designed to scare you into silence.

I survived – and I have a letter confirming from a senior UK NHS doctor that there is nothing wrong with my mental health.

By attempting to silence me they have exposed their hypocrisy and total lack of accountability – that will change. That is what I have learned from their absolute failure in attempting to me stop me writing that they ‘must be held to account’. They are not as they believe they have become ‘God on Earth’.

It is important to me because one day I will face those Government(s) in a court of law.

On that day Government(s) will be taught a lesson. That lesson will be ‘There is only one legal system and it applies equally to all of us – including Prime Ministers and Presidents’.

How unpopular is Theresa May?

I have no time for selfish politics and Rees-Mogg and Johnson play their egos as if they were a tune that PM May and the people of the UK have to dance to.

I do not think PM May is unpopular in that everybody knows PM May was given the most difficult Prime Minster-ship since WW2.

PM May’s policies may be disliked but as a person most I am sure would say PM May has the tenacity of Sir Winston Churchill and the bloody-mindedness of Baroness Thatcher.

I admire PM May for taking the job on and for attempting to steer through the muddy waters of Brexit without floundering on the various rocks of Johnson, Junkers and Rees-Mogg.

If they had worked with PM May instead of lurking in the shadows with daggers drawn to stab PM May in the back wherever possible then PM May might have have produced a better draft agreement.

I have no time for selfish politics and Rees-Mogg and Johnson play their egos as if they were a tune that PM May and the people of the UK have to dance to.

As for Junkers he cannot be trusted as all he wants is his name on the Federation of Europe nameplate and the U.K to be on its knees so others will not follow suit.

I am not a fan of PM May because PM May has studiously ignored all my ideas and writing for a better World – but PM May has a backbone and that is to be admired.

How much longer can Theresa May survive?

There is a danger that a second referendum may still be on the cards even after the U.K leaves the E.U which is why it is so important to chart the future.

https://www.quora.com/profile/Desmond-Last

Brexit is too important to the future of the United Kingdom for any one person to ‘upset the apple cart’ with a leadership bid for Prime Minister. PM May has steered the U.K negotiations through some very troubled waters after Davis and Fox let down the people of the U.K by underestimating the resolve of the E.U to ensure that the E.U remains at 27 Member States and not less.

PM May will be left alone until the deal is done. Then in typical British Fashion after all the sleepless nights and long hours PM May has had to endure she will be knifed in the back and sacked.

That is unless PM May is able to chart the future of the UK with a clear and accountable Economic Strategy and not more ‘ Pounds in Peru’ Speeches and the like.

When in April the UK leaves the E.U it will be alone. A new Economic Union is in the best interests of the U.K. With whom? Well those outside of the E.U need leadership and direction if they are to combat the growing Junckers E.U State monolith. If P.M May is able to promote such a union then PM May will likely stay as PM May.

There is a danger that a second referendum may still be on the cards even after the U.K leaves the E.U which is why it is so important to chart the future.

PM May also has other challenges to her tenure as Prime Minister on the Horizon which may yet cause her to resign – the rising crime rate in the U.K needs to addressed – you cannot have two legal systems; one for those who are allowed to commit crime and one for those who are not – without inviting widespread Civil unrest.

Either way PM May will be in Number 10 for a little while longer.

Do you think Theresa May is a “Strong and stable” leader as she so often claims?

Stable yes but strong I am not so sure.

https://www.quora.com/profile/Desmond-Last

Stable yes but strong I am not so sure. PM May has completely underestimated the EU. There is no way the UK is going to get a good deal – because if the UK does then others may want the same.

May was too trusting of the EU. They have lead PM May down a blind alley. They were never going to do anything other than give it hard to the U.K.

Me I would put up the hard border to Ireland, stop all free movement, put 50 per cent tariffs on all German, Italian and French cars, do a deal with the U.S and tell the E.U that if they want hardball they can have it.

PM May has been far too trusting so ‘strong’ is not a description I would use. PM May has also allowed crime to soar out of control.

However, PM May has the best interests of the UK at heart as I have. I would rather have PM May then Corbyn. Nobody knows who Corbyn really is and for the Military that could be a problem.

What did you think of Theresa May’s speech at the 2018 conservative conference?

PM May said during her speech “to obey the law even when you disagree with it” . Not a very deep Philosophical statement until you start thinking about it.

https://www.quora.com/profile/Desmond-Last

It was ok. That’s about it. PM May is out on a limb so much of the focus was on home-grown problems. There were a couple of interesting comments made by PM May that point towards a possible Philosophy emerging but PM May is not really a Philosophy type person more a ‘can do today not tomorrow’ type of person. By that I mean that PM does not have a Sword to bear for any great movement of the People more a ‘what is today’s problem’ and how can we fix it.

PM May said during her speech “to obey the law even when you disagree with it” . Not a very deep Philosophical statement until you start thinking about it.

I do not know what it is intended to mean but I do know where this statement is leading to. Our Governments are about to enter a period of very widespread civil unrest. It is does not matter what you think about Climate Change now as it is a fact that the climate is becoming more extreme. Never mind the skeptics and the Climate Change experts the weather is beginning to effect economies. That is a fact all will agree on. It is also beginning to move vast amounts of people. It will not get better it will only get worse. PM May also has to deal with 65,000,000 on a small island. The pressures of a large population are beginning to tell in the UK – and they will get worse. That statement encapsulates our future – the law will be more in our faces as daily the factors which cause civil disruption increase.

PM May may have not meant it to mean that which I have described but PM May certainly has the Law very much the top of the Government’s’ Agenda.

The other statement that PM May made was also very revealing. PM May thanked ‘Big Business’ for improving the lives of workers.

This is the same ‘Big Business’ who have done nothing about Climate Change, who employ workers on zero hours contracts, whose CEO’s award themselves huge payouts – even if the company is laying off workers, who take tax credits to employ unskilled migrant labour and who send UK taxpayers research funds overseas and export UK Jobs to China and Asia.

PM May has now devolved Social Justice to ‘Big Business’ which is a common UK GOV theme – nothing is their responsibility. That way they cannot be blamed for anything. Which is why they are so keen to ensure Councils get all the ratepayers funds – so they can blame the Councils for lack of Public Funding.

‘However, PM May is doing ok when you benchmark PM May against the likes of Australian Prime Minister’s Turnbull and Morrison – who have no idea whatsoever about economics and continue to rely on the resources sector to pay for their vanity schemes and projects.

PM May needs a grand plan not a daily job list. Nevertheless ‘better a May today than a Corbyn tomorrow’.

Why am I ignored by Theresa May but not by President Trump?

Why is it that when I write to Theresa May I get no response. Even when I wrote about the way my 88 year old Mum was treated in a Care Home – Zero. But when I write to President Trump the White House responds.

Why is it that when I write to Theresa May I get no response. Even when I wrote about the way my 88 year old Mum was treated in a Care Home – Zero. But when I write to President Trump the White House responds.

 

From the White House on Behalf of President Trump. From 10 Downing Street – The silence is deafening.

What is the importance of young people in your country developing a sense of national belonging, patriotism and pride? How would these values help the development of your nation?

Weak and ineffective leadership. Corruption. Social division. A weakness in enforcing Law and Order. A hypocrisy of intervention in wars which kill children. An acceptance of homelessness. A tolerance of absolute Poverty and a World Political System that devours the democracy of the people as if their human rights did not exist.

This is my answer to the Question which is on Quora.

There can be no other example of National Pride than that which can be placed within the reach of Young People by those who set themselves up as their Peers. It leads the way for young people to set for themselves the achievements and possibilities that their Nation can make possible for them.

Yet, what do they have as examples? Weak and ineffective leadership. Corruption. Social division. A weakness in enforcing Law and Order. A hypocrisy of intervention in wars which kill children. An acceptance of homelessness. A tolerance of absolute Poverty and a World Political System that devours the democracy of the people as if their human rights did not exist.

Our World Leaders are weak, ineffective, decisive and support corruption as if it were the New Black.

Even President Trump has failed to act on stopping the cancerous growth of Evil by Global Groups who peddle filth drugs and trafficking as if it were worthy of no more than a Parking Ticket.

The Youth of today need to demand an end to corruption and seek leadership that will achieve a World where ‘Crime does not Pay’.

Unfortunately, here in the UK a weak Tory Government and and ineffective Theresa May allow crime to run rampant as if it were not their responsibility.

Cutting Police and Health resources, allowing ‘Out of Control’ cyber-hacking and acting too little too late for widely-known sexual harassment of women in Parliament is not setting young people an example of National Pride.

Neither is ensuring they are not part of a developing European Culture by peddling Brexit as the new Nirvana when in fact it will become the UK’s worst ever Economic Disaster.

A sense of National Pride for young people is vital in seeking to maximise the Social and Economic benefits of a Nation and for preventing youth crime.
