Why delay on Brexit may hurt Britain

The Brexit dialogue was unfortunately hijacked by bigots like Nigel Farage. That does not mean there was no serious reason for why 17 million people voted for Brexit. Now the process has been hijacked by people who did not vote for it and may not understand the undercurrents. Britain is now dilly dallying over the matter largely delayed by a prime minister that did not vote for it. The longer the process is delayed, the more likely the market will lose confidence on the country's ability to stand firm after Europe. This will have adverse effects on the economy and as usual only the ordinary people will suffer the consequences.

Trump

I respect Trump for building himself a fortune. I knew he was racist when he spearheaded the attack on Obamas citizenship. He has run his campaign by saying outrageous and offensive things and ended up getting free press coverage for many months. He has played to pockets of sentiments and clinched the Republican Party ticket without a single clear path to what he's going to do. Trump is the evidence that the world is broken. A liar who entertains and has become a strong contender for the White House. The whole world is watching America allowing this clown to run for the highest office in the land. If Somehow he wins in November, then I know without a shadow of a doubt the reign of America as a superpower has come to an end and that the process of judgment may have begun. One thing stands clear for me, that he has stood to. this point shows me America is in serious trouble no matter who wins in November.

My take on the Burkini row

Im all for human rights and  a strong advocate as well. what many may not have realised about the Burkini row is that its not necessarily human right or women power. Its a continuation of the battles of two ideologies that is behind every war in the world. One that believes you have the right to choose for yourself and another that imposes choices on people. Whenever people see a Muslim woman all decked up in Hijab and all, they see repression and that is what this is about.My take on all of these?, since the west gives permission for freedom, they are going to have to live with many they have allowed into their system, all traditions included as long as it does not break any laws.That is the Achilles heels of democracy.

Syrian conflict explained in a few lines

1. America meddled in a domestic problem.
2. America started funding dissidents who bore arms against the government.
3. Syrian government responded with excessive force.
4. America involved the allies accusing the government of genocide.
5. America was trying to replicate what was done in Iraq and Libya.
6. They did not count on the governments support from Russia and Iran.
7. It became a lawless zone and some of the Rebels armed by America soon started ISIS.
8. ISIS raised money by selling oil cheaply to countries like Turkey.
9. Turkey looked the other way as long as ISIS was killing their enemies, the Kurds.
10. Russia and Iran stepped up their support for the government and so America was forced to step up support for the Kurds as many of they rebels they had supported were largely ineffective or had become ISIS.
11. More bloodbaths and the government started to make gains on the war front.
12. Embarrassed America and some allies forced to ask for peace.
13. Turkey seeing the gains the Kurds have made decided to enter into the mix in Syria by fighting their enemies and preventing them setting up a homeland in Northern Syria.
14. Turkey has been emboldened by recent fake coup that has given the premise to decimate opposition and has signed agreement with Russia and Israel so as to operate unopposed in Syria.
15. When you see those people bombed in Aleppo. Remember  that was the city where dissension was hatched. Thank you
