Me no likee Chinese mandarins

I often wonder what good comes out of all those huge international 'gabfests' apart from all the hot air inflating the egos of those concerned.  I suppose that the most one can say is that from time to time you get a glimpse of the reality behind the polite grimaces smiles of the international Great and Good (and the not so good, and the bad, and the downright evil).

For example, there were a couple of small incidents aimed at the Americans when Chinese officials suddenly erupted into shouty fury and insisting that 'this was their country!'  By the small things shall you know them!  The Communist Party of China is a massive, corrupt, self-perpetuating criminal mob with delusions of grandeur, not too dissimilar from Hitler's old gang.  I do understand that the Chinese nation has a history of 'cruel and unusual punishment' meted out to them over the centuries by other nations but they should also recognise that part of their former weakness arose from their own corrupt and useless leaders.  Also, they should recognise that perhaps the greatest single cruelty inflicted on them was from the 'beloved' Chairman Mao!

Anyway, it is now clear that there is an extreme element of nationalism rife throughout the Chinese government which will soon be seeking means to express itself, almost certainly beginning in the South China Sea.  It is a sobering thought that the next POTUS will either be an ignorant, loudmouthed buffoon or a sick, corrupt, old lady, both of whom are at risk of facing criminal indictments.  My advice to the American people - Oi! I heard that! - is that they should spend some time studying the pros and cons of the vice-presidential candidates!

Meanwhile, the rest of should consider laying in supplies!

Oh Lordy, when it comes to immigration, we hear May doesn't favour a points based system, and David Davis favours a work permits system, but May doesn't favour that either: -

"During her visit to China, she ruled out the introduction of an Australian-style points-based system for immigration policy as proposed by the Leave campaign, saying it was "not a silver bullet" to reduce the numbers coming to the UK.

But her spokeswoman poured cold water on suggestions that she has instead plumped for a work permit system which would require EU nationals to secure a job offer before coming to settle in the UK.
" - from this at 733am http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/07/theresa-may-brexit-confusion-jeremy-corbyn-pmqs-live/

What sort of immigration system dos she have in mind then?

Perhaps we could run a competition amongst the 52% of Brexiteers to decide on it?

Why am I reminded of the Python's "Summarize Proust competition"? ...

Sorry, the above should have been in the David Davis post.

Typical remainer!

The Chinese regard Obama as little more than a "houseboy". It really surprised me how well the Filipino president knew Obama. I guess our planet really is getting smaller. This doesn't even cover the "respect" Putin has for little Barry.

It seems Obama's "pivot" to Asia is more like bend over. Must be new yoga terms.

"Points based system" is nothing more than a convenient tough sounding sound bite used to keep the proles happy. Australia's immigration system is actually geared to attract settlers to move there and if the aim is to cut down on the volume of immigrants then their system - or anything like it - would be totally inappropriate to the UK as this article points out.

Work permits and hard Brexit look like the favourites in Billy "No Mates" Blighty's race to oblivion: -

The only glimmer of hope ...

JK, go tell Barney McGroo & Co their UK Sales Rep and Chief Quality Control Officer is all ready to get started!

I wonder which of the two, Trump of Clinton, would actually be mind t go for a Free Trade treaty with Blighty? Trump's got business interests in Blighty, but has opposition in his rhetoric. Hilary is luke warm to trade deals, but she's gotta trade with someone.

And for both, wouldn't Blighty make an ideal partner to give the bird to the Euros, while at the same time keeping close to them just offshore?

Perhaps not unexpectedly Loz, I recommend going with Trump.

And yep.
