  'Corporate wellfare'-Someone comes out, seemingly concern about the environment. However, when you close exermine, you find that he has tons of electric vehicles and solar panels he want to sell! So he wants to creat s monopoly in the market! Yet he begun by telling us that 'the problem is greed and persuits of profits'
  
  I did noticed such kind of 'conflicts of interests' in such seemingly benevolent persuits (which you seem to call it 'wokery' lol!). Someone is running a charity system, an orphanage etc. You are forgiven if you think that he is a good person! Actually he is racking in billions of money from uncritical donners and lieing about how he uses the money!

  🎓 Ivy, I was once an idealistic type, when a teenager and cared (still do) very much for the environment. But I learned to temper that with realism, over time and experience. I have no problem with true ideals, which are perceptions as to what could/may be so. Often in practice, ideals fall short of established reality, as they can become single mindedly focused upon particular outcomes and yet, sacrifice human needs, values and interests, on the alter of "progress."
  
  For example, forcing the people to replace their gas boilers and cars with very expensive alternatives. Short of viable alternatives, changes should not be rammed into place by draconian policies. Recently, we have seen many shortcomings with solar panels and wind turbines, failing to deliver...
  
  You are an intelligent woman, no doubt and I will personally place you in the realist camp. In no way are you a fanatic, maybe more unicorn... 🦄😀Your ideals are probably a form of classical liberalism, based on personal perceptions and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I share many values with classical liberals and note how the left in general have been hijacked, especially since 2016....Now the left has established a pro-corporatism, mainly because many institutions have become influenced, or controlled, by such people: Those who feel entitled to over-rule the public, even if unelected. The woke. These idealists are fanatics and are being used by the elites, globally. They are authoritarians. They also have no compassion for people in general. We see these unelected types in the EU Commission, or the UK's House of Lords, or the UN, WHO, etc...They feel entitled to dictate direction and if unpopular, that is just too bad, as they know best....😒
  
  This is the difference between a classical liberal and an outright communist.
  
  See these fanatics at work disrupting UK motorists. They are bullies and not in any way liberal.....It is piracy on the highway. 🏴‍☠️ They seem to hate a functioning society...They want to punish motorists, in this example...They could protest outside Parliament, but instead deliberately target motorists conducting commerce, or private travel...Ordinary people living their lives. They have even delayed an ambulance...🚑

  I’ve always been a starry eyed idealist 🤩
  
  More the well meaning tree hugger type who never would have guessed that innocent idealism would get hijacked by Eurocrats with questionable agendas.
  
  But since I’ve seen it, it cannot be unseen.

  Well I wish the Hungarians and Poles god speed, in their problem resolutions, with the EU...
  
  Yes, Russia will always beat the EU, as they are self-confident realists and not subject to starry eyed idealism, as they once were, under communism...Albeit, then, Russia controlled much of eastern Europe..
  
  Russia also possesses vast amounts of natural resources, that many EU nations require...Energy being the main factor.
  
  The Russian Federation is very different to the old Soviet Union and certainly far more logical, more pragmatic. Moreover, not ruffled by the false accusations levelled. If Brussels ever think that an "EU army" can take on the Russians I hope they remove that error from their thinking, immediately...It would be a bloodbath for the EU and let's hope those foolish PESCO enthusiasts leave NATO, before they try that one...😆
  
  I'm sure Poland and Hungary can also learn to view EU accusations as falsehoods, based upon federalist idealism and propaganda only, without facts to back...
  
  We in the UK have also learned these lessons...lol😆

  It’s interesting that the EU first tried to demonize Russia, which didn’t work. Now they are actively demonizing the governments of Poland and Hungary. MSM even tells us who the “real democrats” and “extreme right wing nationalists” are in those countries. Whenever that happens I pay attention 😄
  
  I already read about Brussels wanting to sanction Poland for preferring national sovereignty over EU submission.
  
  On the other hand there are many Poles living in western countries who can expect the sympathy and support of their EU skeptical friends 🥳

  Lord Frost made a magnificent speech in Lisbon, addressed to the EU and challenging the current dis-functional NI Protocol.....Article 16 may be reluctantly invoked, if the EU maintains it's stubborn approach to Northern Ireland.

  Actually Ivy I'd love to see Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Czech republic, leave the EU and form their own "Visegrád Union.." A union of sovereign nations, not dictated to from a corrupt centre...I believe this could be based upon the existing Visegrád Group of four...
  
  Master Rakoczi is working with his disciples in those countries, to forge such a breakaway group...Some of them are upon the 3rd ray, like myself, others upon the 7th ray, like himself...Albeit, he builds upon the historical Congress of Visegrád, 1335, which was not established during his tenure, as predating his role, as Regent of Europe, by centuries...Yet empowered anew it is.....It took trade and influence away from the central powers of the 14th century and will again. Let us all bless the success...🙏

  Yet another bi-lateral FTA (free trade agreement) struck by the UK....We have completed what the EU had failed to accomplish....A trade agreement with NEW ZEALAND.....We are certainly chalking them up, with so many countries, since Brexit......Soon the CPTPP with be completed. Talks are going very well, especially considering the fact that so many CPTPP members already have good relations with the UK...
  See the UK/NZ vid below:
  
  
  "Von der Leyen depressed! The UK just took £2.3 billion from the EU when it won the deal with New Zealand.
  
  International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said BRITAIN had finally completed a trade deal worth more than £2.3 billion a year. Previously, New Zealand had intended to cooperate with Brussels, but the EU was knocked out by the UK.
  
  The Minister held talks with her New Zealand counterpart, a bilateral trade agreement was signed with a value of £2.3 billion.
  
  Taking over from Liz Truss in the trading meeting following Boris Johnson's Cabinet reshuffle in September, Ms Trevelyan sought to continue the work of her predecessor and unleash the full power of the UK after the Brexit victory.
  
  After talks this morning, the Commerce Minister said the two sides had reached an agreement." end quote.

  Good contributions, my friends....Yes, the EU is a modern day version of the Holy Roman Empire, with similar disdain for sovereign nations and individuals...Committed to a one-size-fits-all series of policies, hammering small round pegs, into very square holes...This modern Popery, is Wokery, a guiding principle for tyrants, 21st century style.......😆 Disdain for the nation and national traditions, is very much a left-leaning sentiment.
  Frankly, our east European friends suffered under Soviet communism for decades and don't want a repeat historical performance, under the revised banner of Euro-federalism...Lest it be the misfortune of escaping the frying pan, but into the fire...
  
  And just as in the 16th century, Britain having freed herself, through divorce, now watches the decline of continental Europe, especially the French, from the vaster perspectives of global trade routes, seas and oceans....and growing friendships, beyond Europe.....
  
  Ahhh...!! It's like old times and previous lives...😄

  It is good that this conflict is now happening within European countries. Perhaps this will help define clearly what it means for other countries to 'meddle with internal affairs of a country' or to 'go against the sovereignty of another country'. Does the issue of independence of judiciary, for instance, an 'internal affair' of an individual country? How about 'democracy'? How about 'human rights'? All these are often used as excuses for 'foreigners' to 'interfere' and even 'colonize' other countries! They must clearly define 'internal affair' and explain why those issues categorized as 'internal affairs' are thus categorized.
  
  This isn't the first time EU is accused of 'interfering with internal affairs of a country'. It is only the first time such a country is a member of EU itself.
