David Cameron Resigns As British Prime Minister, Theresa May Is Appointed The New PM And Boris Johnson Foreign Minister

British Prime Minister, David Cameron, today handed in his resignation. The fallout from the Brexit vote to leave the European Union, which was the opposite of what he campaigned for, resulted in his resignation. Me personally, I would not have resigned. But to each his own. Theresa May, the former Foreign Minister (Home Secretary), is now the Prime Minister of Britain. She is the second female Prime Minister in British history. Two weeks ago, before this rounded out and May was the only one left standing to be the new Prime Minister, I tweeted on Twitter that she reminds me of Margaret Thatcher (see tweet at end of article).

May has appointed former London mayor, Boris Johnson, the new Foreign Minister. Whether you agree with May's political views, it is best that political parties in Britain work together for the good of the country.  Cameron's primary mistake was the joint press conference with President Barack Obama, who basically threatened the British public stating do what I say in this vote or I will financially punish Britain by pushing the nation "to the back of the queue" in trade deals. It was an odious comment to make and was ill-received.

People behind the leave campaign in Britain credit Obama with getting the vote through to leave the European Union, which is the exact opposite of what the president demanded the British people do. Obama repeatedly abused the "special relationship" between Britain and America, in conduct other modern American presidents simply did not do. An international visit from Obama has proven political poison to several world heads of state, who ended up leaving shortly after or being voted out. Hence the Politico article "Politico: How The World Fell Out Of Love With Obama."

I am not of the belief Britain has cause to panic over Brexit. If you needlessly give off fear and panic, people will pick up on that and act accordingly regarding investments and trade. I know London quite well. I also know some of the home counties in England. Britain is a stable, civil place with a lot going for it. There are many financial opportunities available in Britain, which is a large, prosperous nation with a strong economy. London, the nation's centerpiece, is a beautiful, bustling city that is a center of commerce and entertainment for many all over the world. 

 

 
My tweet two weeks ago regarding Theresa May reminding me of Britain's first female prime minister Margaret Thatcher
 

Hold your heads up and be determined in your resolve to succeed and grow as a nation. Stop apologizing for being British in trying to fit in more with Europe. And for the record, there's nothing wrong with European, it is great as well. Each nation should be unreservedly proud of their country. There's nothing wrong with being proud of where you come from.

British And American Journalists Call President Obama A ‘Hypocrite’ For Meddling In Brexit

U.S. President Barack Obama

Journalists in Britain and America are slamming U.S. President, Barack Obama, labeling him a hypocrite, for going to London, England and interfering in Brexit. Britain is contemplating leaving the European Union (EU), a move endorsed by the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, but opposed by the prime minister, David Cameron. This potential departure is known as Brexit. 

Obama imperialistically began meddling in the issue, prompting over two dozen British lawmakers in Parliament to sign a petition demanding he stay out of it. The British public has not taken kindly to Obama’s meddling either, as a host of comments reflecting their displeasure at him wading into the issue and telling people what to do, has been posted on numerous websites’ feedback sections. 

Obama then flew to London last week and publicly claimed it is up to the British voters to make the decision on whether to stay in the European Unopm. Then, for over 25-minutes rambled on during a press conference as to why Britain must not leave the European Union. Obama also issued threats against Britain regarding delaying a trade deal 10-years if they leave the European Union. Reporters who were present immediately chastised Obama for meddling in Brexit once again. 

U.S. President Barack Obama and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron

Last week Boris Johnson accused Obama of being anti-British, as he is half Kenyan and has been raised by his father, the late Barack Obama Sr., to resent the nation due to the days of colonialism. Some gasped at the suggestion by Johnson, but it’s not exactly a secret. I wrote about it a month ago as well. Some accused Johnson of “dog whistle racism” but I am black and stated the same thing a month ago, as Obama has engaged in actions that are not in the best interests of the British people.

There are books and articles that discuss Obama’s disdain for Britain due to the hatred his anti-colonialism, Kenyan father engrained in him. Obama’s grandfather had been arrested and tortured under British rule in Kenya, for engaging in actions against the ruling government and due to that Obama was trained to hate Britain. 

As mentioned previously on the site, in what was taken from mainstream press reports, when Obama took office in 2009, he was barely able to contain his contempt for Britain, rudely removing the Churchill bust from the White House’s oval office and according to well publicized reports, sending it back, though it was a gift to America from the British people. 

Obama has been trying to make Britain pay for what happened to his grandfather, which is irrational. Modern Britons have nothing to do with it. To want innocent people punished for the sins of one’s ancestors is wrong.

Obama shamelessly wades into Brexit row and uses WORLD WAR TWO to say UK should STAY in EU

PUBLISHED: 03:00, Fri, Apr 22, 2016 | UPDATED: 17:52, Fri, Apr 22, 2016 - BRAZEN Barack Obama has controversially used the sacrifice of the Allies soldiers during the Second World War as a “breathtaking” tool to argue to remain in the European Union (EU). The US President waded into the heated EU referendum debate on his arrival in Britain last night for a brief visit including talks with David Cameron and a lunch with the Queen. 

The pro-EU supporter faced a stiff backlash from Brexit campaigners who told him to "butt out" of the debate he is quickly making “deeply anti-democratic”. Mr Obama highlighted the special relationship between his country and the UK "forged as we spilled blood together on the battlefield". Barack Obama said the sacrifice of his country’s soldiers during the Second World War meant America has a stake in the referendum debate. 

The emotional appeal invoked the spectre of the battlefield and described how the EU was formed from "the ashes of war to sustain a prosperous peace". Boris Johnson slammed the comments by the US president. He said the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans in the battles to liberate Europe against Nazi Germany showed the strength of the ties between the transatlantic continents. 

Writing in the Telegraph he said: "I will say, with the candour of a friend, that the outcome of your decision is a matter of deep interest to the United States. "The tens of thousands of Americans who rest in Europe's cemeteries are a silent testament to just how intertwined our prosperity and security truly are. And the path you choose now will echo in the prospects of today's generation of Americans as well."

Brexit hypocrite: Remember when Obama accused Netanyahu of meddling in America’s affairs?

Posted at 9:33 am on April 23, 2016 - As President Obama stirs controversy across the Atlantic by threatening Great Britain if the British people vote to divorce themselves from the European Union, it’s instructive to look back at the president’s reaction when a foreign leader came here to America to voice his concerns over one of his policies. Last night the president warned that the UK would be left “at the back of the queue” on trade deals if they went forward with the Brexit initiative slated for a June 23rd referendum. 

The rather undiplomatic threat was met with derision by those in Britian supporting the exit plan: Justice Minister Dominic Raab led an angry backlash against Mr Obama as the Leave campaign tried to shift the emphasis to immigration. He said: “This is really about a lame duck US president about to move off the stage doing an old British friend a favour. I have got no doubt that future US trade negotiators are going to look to other opportunities – I think the British will be first in the queue, not at the back of the queue.”

Hypocrite Obama needs to mind his own business

PUBLISHED: 00:01, Mon, Apr 18, 2016 - Yesterday Chris Grayling hit out at Barack Obama’s support for Britain’s EU membership saying that the US president “doesn’t understand” the nature of our relationship with Brussels. What is certain is that America would never accept the strictures currently placed upon Britain as a condition of our membership. America is a country that jealously guards its own sovereignty. 

Indeed, presidents have in the past refused to sign a number of international treaties because of a real or perceived threat to their nation’s right to govern itself. The idea that Mr Obama would put up with an arrangement that enforced open borders with Mexico, gave a court in Canada jurisdiction over the US and allowed foreign bureaucrats to override American laws is absurd.

The Obama Administration Plans To Give The NSA The Ability To Spy On Americans And Global Citizens To Greater Degrees For Illegal Reasons

Obama's attitude clearly is: the law doesn't apply to me
  

The Obama Administration plans to give the National Security Agency the ability to spy on Americans and global citizens to greater degrees than they are already doing, in criminal violation of the law. The NSA will be able to share illegally obtained wiretap contents, hacked computer and email data, among other things, with any government entity it chooses. Obama will use it to further spy on personal, political and corporate rivals he deems enemies and use the data to harm people and their financial interests, for daring to defy or speak out against him (pay attention Apple and company).  

Obama is already using the IRS to terrorize his perceived enemies, such as preachers (James Dobson, among others who spoke out against ObamaCare), politicians (Ben Carson, Donald Trump) and businessmen (the conservative billionaires the Koch Brothers regarding their financial interests, among others). Obama is also actively spying on British Prime Minister David Cameron, London mayor Boris Johnson and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, among others.

All this spying is for political and economic reasons and has nothing to do with keeping America safe, as falsely claimed by the Obama Administration. These acts are violating the rights and privacy of Americans and global citizens, with no legal authority to do so. The Obama Administration also has no international jurisdiction and is criminally breaking international law in spying on foreign citizens and corporations via illegal wiretaps, hacking, GPS tracking, bank account scanning and physical surveillance. It is very unbecoming.

Privacy Advocates Blast Plan to Expand NSA Data Sharing

Feb 29, 2016 1:04 PM PT -  The Obama administration plans to increase the amount of private communications the National Security Agency can share with other government agencies without first adding privacy protections, according to a report published last week in The New York Times.

The plan would ease restrictions on the amount of intercepted email and telephone intelligence the NSA gathers, including bulk collection of satellite communications, phone data between foreigners, and messages from overseas that U.S. allies provide, according to the report, which cited unnamed officials familiar with the deliberations.

The move represents a major expansion of surveillance and data sharing authority and has been a longstanding concern of privacy groups, according to Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "There are significant privacy implications that EPIC will examine in detail," he told the E-Commerce Times. The data subject to the expansion includes system-of-record notices, such as individuals of interest in foreign intelligence or counterintelligence activity...(http://www.technewsworld.com)

British Government Addressing Affordable Housing Requests In London

British Prime Minister, David Cameron and the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson

Real estate in London, England has experienced a massive boom. Houses that were worth $500,000 15-years ago are now worth $1,000,000 and higher. There are properties that were worth $1,000,000 15-years-ago that are now being sold for upwards of $10,000,000 in London towns such as Hampstead, Holland Park and Chelsea.

The sharp increase in the value of London real estate has made purchasing a flat or house in the capital difficult for the newer generation of the working class, who are in their 20s and 30s. To address the problem, the British government has been building new affordable housing in London, which are mostly flats.

Based on what I have seen, Finsbury Park and Holloway in North London still has affordable housing (flats). Places such as Enfield (near Essex) in the East End and Croydon, which is just outside of South London in Surrey are affordable as well. One can get more space for one’s money in Surrey, that is relatively close to London.

This brings me to my point. At the end of the day, if one can’t afford central London, there are nice places in the lovely adjoining home counties with great transportation that still provides easy access to the capital for work and or recreational activities.

David Cameron and Boris Johnson

British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced he will not seek a third term in office as political head of state (The Queen is the sovereign head of state). Cameron made some tough decisions while in office, that some may not have agreed with, but it benefited Britain. Cameron made necessary budget cuts that have helped to turn Britain’s fortunes around. The nation is now posting positive economic growth, after the devastating 2008 financial crisis that began on Wall Street.

A popular conservative frontrunner for Prime Minister is London Mayor, Boris Johnson. When I was in London in 2012, I saw a gathering featuring him on Victoria Street and the public treated him like a rock star. People connected with the sometimes goofy, well educated politician. As goofy as he can be at times, Johnson has implemented a number of successful programs regarding transportation, recycling and housing.

Mayor Of London Boris Johnson Declines Paralympian Hannah Cockroft's Request To Spend A Day In A Wheelchair

Hannah Cockroft

British Paralympian gold medalist Hannah Cockroft challenged London Mayor, Boris Johnson, to spend a day in a wheelchair, to help understand the difficulties disabled people go through when taking public transport. Johnson politely declined her request, but expressed his willingness to work with the disabled to upgrade the London tube system.

Johnson is a brilliant man, but he's had a few little mishaps that became a source of national humor. Maneuvering a wheelchair all day is not easy and if Johnson were to accidentally crash into something or fall out of the chair, the press and public would have a field day and the true message of the exercise would inadvertently be lost. Hey, even Einstein had his clumsy moments. May I remind Hannah (LOL):

Off topic for a minute, the chicks certainly like him:

Having said that (LOL) Johnson is a good sport and an innovative mayor, who is set to move up the ranks

I've taken the tubes many times. They are very efficient and cover a significant amount of ground. I found it to be the best in the world. However, as the tubes were built in the early 1900s, elevator and wheelchair access were not incorporated into the system.

 There are select stations with elevator access, but all tubes stations do not currently have this feature. Retrofitting would be a solution. It would take time and money, but with some inventiveness it could work. Some stations have two or more small offices. One could be retrofitted for elevator access, provided it lines up with the platform at a strategic location. Small structures could be added to stations, as an addition at each, housing an elevator and touch pass outlet. As stated above, it would take money, time and planning, but it can be done.

Boris declines challenge by Paralympian to spend day in a wheelchair

Last updated Fri 3 Oct 2014 - Boris Johnson declines a challenge by Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft to spend a day in a wheelchair. She claims wheelchair access is so bad on the tube he would not be able to get to all of his appointments...

"The Mayor thanks Hannah for her passionate efforts to highlight the challenges wheelchair users face using public transport and will ask TfL to work with her to gain further understanding of the issues she raises.

He is very aware of the difficulties that are posed by our 150 year-old Tube network and that the picture for disabled people travelling in the capital is far from perfect.

London has one of the most accessible transport networks in the world, but delivering continued improvements is a key priority for the Mayor.

– Mayor of London"

The British Economy Is Now 'Bigger Than Any Time In History'

David Cameron

The British economy has rebounded in leaps and bounds, after the financial crisis of 2008. A report in the London Evening Standard stated, “Britain’s economy is bigger than at any point in its history after a 0.8 per cent surge in growth finally lifted GDP above its pre-financial crisis peak. The achievement was hailed as "a major milestone" by Chancellor George Osborne and officially brings to an end the most prolonged slump on record.” 

Prime Minister David Cameron enacted cuts (the Judiciary Report advocated years ago) that were unpopular among some, but the British economy has experienced a turnaround. It would also be beneficial if Britain returned to its factory roots, producing more products on the level it did decades ago. 

Another report online stated London has overtaken New York as the top investment hub. Throughout the crisis, the British currency, the pound, stood strong and the housing market appreciated in value, particularly London, where home prices have reached new heights. 

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has undertaken an initiative to build more housing in the capital to accommodate the demand. Some preservationists are against the plan. However, it is a practical one, as the demand has far exceeded what is currently available. There have also been new calls to expand impressive Heathrow Airport, the behemoth hub that has already undergone expansion to meet the demand.

London Mayor Urges Papers To Come Forward In Phone Hacking And Wiretapping Scandal

London Mayor Boris Johnson

The Mayor of London, England, Boris Johnson, is urging all involved in the disgraceful phone hacking and wiretapping scandal to come forward, as he believes some are keeping silent about their involvement in the crimes. Thus far, several employees of Rupert Murdoch's News International have been arrested for hacking into and wiretapping the mobile phones of high profile and connected people in politics and the entertainment industry.

Johnson is correct in stating others involved in wrongdoing in said scandal remain at large. I know for a fact the Sun Newspaper UK and Daily Mail UK have heavily employed these criminal tactics and unrepentantly so. There are also people at Fox News and the TMZ website in America, who are also involved in the very same criminal misconduct.

Rupert Murdoch: your business is my business!

It was reveal this week, former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was urged to cancel a formal inquiry into the matter, by his Cabinet Secretary, Sir Gus O'Donnell, fearing the political fallout at the polls (Gordon Brown phone-hacking inquiry halted by civil service). It wasn't a good idea, as they began spying on the government to greater degrees, compromising national security.

Call for UK media to come clean on phone hacking

April 12, 2011 - Speaking on Sky News, the Mr. Johnson said he did not believe News International was the only group to use such tactics. ''I would like to see the entire newspaper industry, what we used to call Fleet Street, and indeed the media generally, have a general truth and reconciliation commission about all this.

''I think all the editors and all the proprietors should come forward, put their hands up, say whether they know of any of their reporters or employees who may or may not have been engaged in these practices which have now been exposed at the News of the World. I think that would be a very healthy development.''
