The UK European elections are about to happen, and it couldn't be worse for the Tories.

I wrote the other day how Brexit was imploding the Tories. It turns out that the Tory collapse is picking up speed, all to the benefit of UK Labour.

A year ago I wrote "Politically the Tories have no plan at all, and when the clock stops on Brexit they will completely implode."
The clock is beginning to stop.

Growth

The world around me is greening. Trees are budding, blooming, and leafing. Last year's sugars stored in the roots return to the growing tips and are converted into green leaves - solar powered carbon fixers. Creating sugar from air and water is the nature of plant growth. The sugars are used to build more plant tissue as they reach for the sun. I guess we have to strive toward a goal ourselves to experience growth - the human equivalent of reaching for the sun. We could use more of the sensibility and sustainability of cyclic plant growth, relying on the sun and water for our power and energy. Perhaps we could grow to be a sane and functional society focused on the needs of people and the natural system rather than the cancerous growth of profit hungry war mongers in the US and around the world.

It seems to have taken forever, but the inescapable Brexit endgame is about to arrive.

I can totally understand both why Jeremy Corbyn was reluctant to agree to this, and why he eventually agreed. I have mixed feelings about it.

The global establishment has a formula for any and all popular movements and politicians that threaten the power and wealth of the ruling elite, and they use it a lot.

Is it even possible to oppose the status quo and not be 1) a foreign agent, 2) stupid, and 3) racist? I doubt if Jesus himself returned today, and he denounced the money-lenders, that he wouldn't be "outed" as a lazy, stupid, racist, Putin Puppet.

When Brexit narrowly passed, the neoliberal Blairites in the UK Labour Party were horrified. They demanded Jeremy Corbyn, whom they despise, immediately oppose the referendum that so many UK Labour members voted for. When he refused, the Labour Party divided.

Two months ago I wrote Brexit train wreck approaching.
Yesterday the first couple boxcars on the train derailed. You better cover your ears because this wreck is going to get loud.

Jeremy Corbyn’s personal approval rating has slumped, and the recent local elections were an indecisive wash.

Do you recall how just last year Britain was being overwhelmed by racism?
The mainstream news media, particularly the center-left leaning media, insisted that just one thing, and only one thing, could explain the Brexit vote.

We need to understand what the liberals already know but are unwilling to admit publicly; liberalism is in a deep crisis. The liberal wing of the ruling class has caught itself on the horns of a dilemma.

On the one hand, the Liberals serve the interests of capitalism, in that sense the shift from Keynesian Liberalism to Neoliberalism comes about due to the economic crisis following the demise of Keynesianism due to stagflation in the 1970s.

The international reactions to Trump's victory are very interesting.
