Absolute belter Mr North. Trump doing exactly what he was elected to do and those slimey bastards in power both here and in Brussels despise him for it. We can get out of this mess but it's going to take a leader with honesty and grit. Do we have the time to wait ?.

Absolutely spot on. Great article and covered everything I can think of. Let’s pray for a miracle and that it comes in the form of a steely and determined leader and party who will put us first and not renege on their promises.

This is why I come on here and say its important to follow what's happening in America.

Even if it is to just learn from their mistakes.

The tragedy for European Civilisation (I'm including Britain) is we haven't been strong/ brave enough to build an alternative 'power block' or brake away from the Global American Empire and do things differently in our own intrests.

By any rational analysis the 'globalisation' agenda has NOT worked for the West and has simply empowered the global elite and benefited those that oppose the Christian West.

While the UK awaits a Trump like PM, which sadly Farage will never be, the people must realise, as in Iran, that if they want change they are going to have to demand it and reform of our governance and democracy is an essential part as laid out here by work done back in 2012.

Our politicians should be our servants and not our Masters.

This largely ignores the fact that Europe's decline is mostly down to American "soft power". Also it's really weird to see English Nationalists praising Trump for his strong man image while not being aware of the realpolitik behind this, Trump is pushing American hegemony to it's end

European Civilisation got captured by the Global American Empire in 1945 and never broke free.

General de Gaulle understood this decades ago.

A good book going into the American economic/ Corporate strangle hold on Britain is Vessel State by Angus Hanton.

American influence has been prevelant throughout UK and Europe for almost 100 years, through neoliberal policy the US has had a massive influence on how Europe has been shaped. It's easy to say "This politician is responsible for this policy decision" but when US finance is pushing that decision forward then they too have a responsibility.

Trump may be doing what he's been elected to do, but it's going to come at a cost. Take what happened in Venezuela, the tactics were straight out of the US regime change playbook, but things such as the Chinese investment in Venezuela and the fact that China owns billions in US Treasury bonds is being largely ignored. This is going to be another shambles

So the world would be a better place if Russia and China continued their expansion, as they have in Africa, to the likes of Venezuela and Greenland?

It appears you are basically anti the USA and especially Trump so which Super Power do you favour becoming dominate??

I do find it of concern that so many of our companies are owned by the USA, but if the alternative is to have them owned by Russia/China then the USA is the best option.

1. No. And no one is suggesting that.

2. Yes I am anti-USA, and if you're English so should you be, because there's no good reason for US based private finance companies owning care homes here in the UK. We have been hollowed out and are being used like a sock puppet

So I can only assume you wish to see a world where the three or four Superpowers mind their own businesses?

Well as Jordan Peterson would say " Good luck with that!"

As for American, or for that matter any foreign investment in the UK, are you seriously suggesting we shouldn't have any?

It would appear you desire a world divorced from geopolitical realities.

Assumptions are your problem, not mine

No idea who Jordan Peterson is

No that's not what I'm saying, but it doesn't make sense to have foreign entities running crucial services and infrastructure and is a sign of our capitulation.

Again, assumptions are on you, not me

You can be concerned about the US ownership of UK businesses without being anti-USA.

100% correct. We need to brake away from the Global American Empire as much as possible. Its the Americanization of Britain that's destroying it.

Trump has just put 50% tariffs on German steel. Is a tiny example of the power dynamics

Excellent analysis, perhaps you could share it to your MP, who is also mine? Time for our leaders to pick a side.
