Overtly open operators II...


Following on from the previous post: 'Why May put Huawei before security', by Bruce Newsome writing at Conservative Woman:
"Here is where the Huawei scandal links back to a larger scandal of machinations to favour the EU over the US, to favour macro-economic vanity over national security, to favour authoritarianism over democracy.
Huawei is already embedded in Britain’s elite..." [...]
..."So there you have the full sordid web of anti-American interests, inter-personal backstabbing, civil service authoritarianism, weak premiership, and economic corruption that make this government put Huawei before security. May’s government is sacrificing national security, the special relationship, and Brexit in favour of Chinese money and EU integration."
A worrying trend in all this is that the UK's unaccountable civil servants - mainly rabid EUphiles are being given far too much power and can pretty much do as they please: Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill being the latest example leading to the sacking of Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson over the leak of the National Security Council’s decision re Huawei. Sedwill actually sits on the same NSC so that decision stinks too! Treason May is enabling this abuse of power to the nth degree, we saw it re the Chequers debacle, the Withdrawal agreement itself, various other sackings (the Priti Patel ousting too) which entirely coincidentally see pro-Brexit ministers replaced with Remain stooges.

Update: Mark Wallace's take is well worth a read: "Risking our security. Risking our alliances. Opening our infrastructure up to China is a risk too far."

May and those she is allowing to run this country still have still some answering to do regarding the FISA scandal. She has chosen the wrong side and still keeps making it worse, I hope PDJT makes her pay dearly.
