I See Brexit Negotiations Have Begun.

On June 23rd 2016 (23/6/16) Britain voted to exit the European Union (EU) - The "Brexit."

Today (19/6/17) negotiations between Britain and the EU over the terms of Brexit have begun.

In between the Brexit vote and today low-ranking Members of Parliament (MP's) known as backbenchers and opposition MP's of particularly the Liberal Democrats (LibDems) and Labour parties have been extremely angry about Brexit. That's because it highlights to voters just how irrelevant and powerless they actually are.

Any negotiation is not so much about what you want as what the other - in this case 27 - parties are prepared to give you. In order to stand the best chance of being given what you want you have to start by being really clear amongst yourselves what it is you want.

In preparation for today's start of negotiations the UK called a General Election for June 8th 2017 (6/8/17). The objective was to give the governing Conservative Party a large majority in order to silence the more extreme Brexit voices and allow the UK to present a united front within Brexit negotiations.

On May 21st (21/5/17) this was all going well.

Then on May 22nd (22/5/17) an Islamist terrorist attack was carried out in the UK city of Manchester. Amongst other things this bombing was carried out to give the Labour Party a boost at the General Election. The Labour Party wasted no time in coordinating their campaign with the attackers.

On June 3rd (3/6/17) there was a second Islamist terror attack. This time a run-over attack in the London Bridge area of the UK capital London. Again this was carried out to give the Labour Party a boost at the General Election. Again Labour wasted no time in coordinating their campaign with the attackers.

The sad news is that the terror attacks and Labour's exploitation of them worked.

At the General Election a large swing in votes to the Labour Party meant the Conservatives lost their majority forcing them into an informal alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). This leaves the UK technically without a government and means that it's Brexit strategy is going to be determined by a group of people who don't believe in dinosaurs.

It turns out the Labour Party weren't finished there though. Over the night of Tuesday (13/6/17) into Wednesday (14/6/17) they set fire to the Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West housing estate in the Kensington area of London, the UK capital city.

The Grenfell Tower fire is full of little hooks to issues that may well come up in the Brexit negotiations. For example the issue of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change which the UK has signed as part of the EU. It also touches on the August 2011 riots. As I've said Britain doesn't want to turn the negotiations into a contest of who the EU like more, them or me.

The Labour Party have immediately used the Grenfell Tower fire to exert bottom up pressure on the government. The hope is this will combine with top down pressure from the EU as some of the issues raised by the fire come up in Brexit negotiations.

The Labour Party's hope is that the government will somehow become crushed by this pincer movement of pressure.

That will leave them unable to properly punish the Labour Party for its role in the fire. Going unpunished by the 2022 General Election Labour will have built a replacement to Grenfell Tower containing even more voters allowing the to secure the marginal 20 vote majority Parliamentary seat.

At around midnight this morning (19/6/17) there was another run-over terror attack. This time on the Seven Sisters Road close to the Finsbury Park Mosque in the Finsbury Park area of London.

The twist in this attack is that the victims seem to be seven Muslim Sisters will the attacker appears to be someone with an anti-Muslim agenda.

I'm sure it won't be long until someone mentions groups like the English Defence League (EDL) and the National Action group that splintered off from them. Due to its historical links to terrorist mastermind Abu Hamza al-Masri Finsbury Park Mosque has long served as a highly effective recruiting tool for groups of that type.

In an attempt to explain rather than justify British society has long functioned according to John Locke's concept of a Social Contract.

Even if they don't recognise the jargon all British citizens recognise the terms of the deal. We give the state some of our freedom and some of our money. In return the state protects its citizens.

When the social contract breaks down such as in a terrorist attack it is important that the state is seen to protect its citizens and punish the guilty. Otherwise the citizenry get scared and start taking matters into their own hands. Invariably they make a mess of this.

A prime example of this would be National Action member Zack Davies who attacked Dr Sarandev Bhambra with machete in a supermarket in Mold on January 14th 2015 (14/1/15). Davies claimed he carried out the attack to prevent a repeat of the May 22nd 2013 (22/5/13) Islamist attack on British Soldier Lee Rigby.

The thing is Dr Sarandev Bhambra isn't a Muslim. He's a Sikh. Not only are Sikhs not Muslims traditionally Sikhs and Muslims really do not like each other.

So Britain's opening gambit in the Brexit negotiations is the question of whether the Crown needs to do more to protect the British public from the Labour Party?

I would've thought that was a question the Crown could answer for itself without seeking international advice.

Edited at around 14:30 on 20/6/17 (UK date) to add;

More details have emerged of the man accused over Monday's (19/6/17) events at Finsbury Park Mosque. This is where things get interesting.

The man has been identified as Darren Osborne a 47 year old British/Singaporean dual national. A city state Singapore is surrounded on three sides by the Muslim Kingdom of Malaysia and the World's most populous Muslim nation of Indonesia on its fourth. Immediately prior to his arrest Osborne was living in Cardiff, Wales.

It has emerged that at that home in Wales Osborne has a number of Muslim friends and neighbours including Khadijh Sherazi and the clearly very devout western convert Saleem Naema. Due to the number of Mosques in Cardiff I strong suspect that a number of Osborne's Muslim friends worship at the Jalalia Mosque in Riverside.

Amongst people involved in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and associated groups Cardiff's Jalalia Mosque is well known. It has produced at least three ISIL fighters including most famously Reyaad Khan.

Reyaad Khan was killed in a British airstrike in ISIL's de facto capital of Raqqa in August 2015. This was controversial at the time because British forces did not have Parliamentary authority to operate within Syria. The British government justified its actions on the grounds that being an ISIL planner preparing imminent attacks within the UK the killing of Khan was justified under the doctrine of pre-emptive self-defence.

News of Reyaad Khan's death only became public when the Iman at the Jalalia Mosque announced it in a sermon praising Khan's Martyrdom.

So of the three attacks that have occurred in the UK in the past month the Finsbury Mosque attack is the only one that can be tied directly to a known ISIL attack planner.

If you have been following the wars in Syria and Iraq you would need no explanation of why ISIL and their associates would attack a Mosque. It's almost a daily event. However there reasons are really twofold;

Some Muslims and particularly Islamist terrorists place great importance on the ideology of Martyrdom. This means that they view the suffering of their own people as form of victory in itself. To see this in action you only need to look at the way groups like the Al Qaeda affiliated White Helmets pass around pictures of suffering children like Omar Daqneesh almost as a form of currency.

I would say they're appealing for the sympathy vote but the truth is the ideology runs even deeper then that.

This mentality was particularly on display during the 2014 Gaza war. At the risk of sounding like a Magen David Adom commercial it is frequently said that Palestinians value death in the same way that Israelis value life. Based on my experience I have say that sadly there is some truth to that.

Secondly it has long been a core part of Al Qaeda's ideology that has recently been adopted by ISIL to conduct attacks to destroy the space in which Muslims and non-Muslims coexist. The intention being to force Muslims and non-Muslims into their respective corners and radicalise them into a war against each other.

Launching a false flag attack on a Mosque allows ISIL to claim to western Muslims such as Reyaad Khan, Junaid Hussein and his convert wife Sally Jones that the so-called; "Crusader Nations" are against them. Therefore they had best join up and conduct attacks on behalf of ISIL and their associates.

This Islamist strategy has long been known about. In fact it's featured in the plot to the 2010 movie "Four Lions." There the roughly 50 year old convert to Islam keeps wanting to launch a false flag attack against a Mosque. His reasoning being that it will force mainstream Muslims to join what he considers Jihad.

Long term readers may remember that before the fight against ISIL and their associates began in 2014 I had to endure a seemingly annual Court appearance.

In 2013 this was to answer an accusation that I had criminally damaged property belonging to a Grenfell Tower style Labour Party affiliated housing association. Not only was I acquitted of this allegation the case was actually dismissed at Court because the prosecution were unable to produce sufficient evidence to even question my innocence. This type of prosecution is properly described as malicious.

In the six months while this case was dragging on between my arrest and final Court appearance Abu Qatada al-Filistini was finally deported to Jordan. Also it was frequently suggested the housing association had simply damaged their own property in the hope of blaming me. An example of a false flag attack.

In these discussions the frequently used euphemism was; "Bomb the Mosque" in reference to the movie Four Lions.
