WAB / PD: Misconducts of Mandates


There’s acknowledgment that the Ministry of Justice in Spain has endeavoured to be familiarly cohesive, it comes from the judicial directives from UK of yesteryear – they call it a legal mechanism to guarantee the right to receive trustworthy information.

Yes, it's quite a bold move, to extinguish falsehoods, cult idols and domestic hatred - good news as it coincides with Twitter putting a note to The White House readership, warning The President’s follower-ship of excessive terms against humanity - yes, we’re all in this kindergarten bubble and teacher has got her knitting needle out. If only such office of authority could oversee legal mechanisms in Blighty and not provide contradictory conclusions – the level of governance complacency is startling and it sits at the heart of the Political Declaration mandate agreed with the EU and UK in 10/19.


In retrospect, the correspondence of Michel Barnier to the European Commission in Brussels on 25/05/20 exacted their plan regardless of the extension issue, reassuring the EU27 they’ll do their utmost to reach an ambitious and balance partnership with the UK along the lines approved. This is quite a revelation duly as the Barnier hand has been revealed in how trade talks will manifest under the terms of the Political Declaration, many of political-gurus would ascertain that Barnier is referencing the framework of future relations to commence in 02/20 not the actual maneuverings of trade during the transitional period.


Long gone are the honesty and integrity that accompany hot or cold virtues - herewith, in the UK the disease of indifference is the currency and this contagion is consistent with Meyers’s Orwell biography; ‘Wintry Conscience of a Generation’ – which understands the condition of demoralising effects and the century old freezing point; totally ignoring the versatile capability in EU’s core philosophy and that, the European Union is proficient in trade deals with nations and yet UK has already got a history in folding on negotiating positions, namely 03/19 and 10/19. Hardly a credible balance of power, let alone a comprehension of what’s required for a Free Trade Agreement; if there was a morsel prospect in feathering a cap, it’ll be feathered by now. 


According to Shanker Singham the CEO of Competere the EU27 are anxious for an extension for trade negotiation in a view that the current timeline is ‘unfavourable to the UK’ – if the UK buy into this deception it’ll be a trap and a position the UK will struggle with, even though all parties want a Free Trade Agreement. Alas, Barnier didn’t refer to the future deal in his correspondence to the EU27 in May 2020; because the main priority is adhering to the Political Declaration, which portrays a Machiavellian approach; far beyond strategics and negotiating and it’s been snubbed by the UK media. Inadvertently, transcends into an area I’ve known about for quite a while, since the Mandate’s conception, both parties have to adhere to and recognise: [1] ‘Good will’ initiation measure in the Political Declaration Mandate and [2] the recently passed (WAB) ‘Immigration Bill 2020.’  Equating to an international trade stalemate, that’ll hinder the UK on the global stage indefinitely - overtly, this leads me to conclude that Singham’s ‘Competere’ is currently dispensable for there’s no trade law (s) to reconfigure in reality; instead political machinations suffice which has no bearing with EU / UK trade whatsoever.


What’s transgressed is the future points-based immigration system, the first step into delivering a non-specific system without detail or basis in regards to requirements to come to the UK as a worker, student or family member. In the EUWA (2018) rights ensure capable exercise of the power of clause [5] notably, the principle of the supremacy of EU Law --- altogether, ceases to be recognised and available in domestic law, until after the transitional period 12/20. Any laws passed, before the lapsed transitional period time-frame; namely ‘Immigration Bill 2020’ concerning EU citizens’ rights (being treated as non-EEA citizens) broadly speaking this is inconsistent with the EUWA (2018).


Another area of suspect in the Withdrawal Agreement is under Article 12 Non-discrimination: acting without prejudice to any special provision on grounds of nationality along the lines of Article 18 (TFEU) A Treaty Functioning of the European Union made active on 5/08, Article 18 clarifies the two party trading formality, although negotiation (could possibly) terminate when a discrimination on grounds of nationality via any partner aligned to UK nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the UK is blatant.


The breach of the PD Mandate, was instigated through the EUSS, this was made active 03/19 the same month the original TP was scheduled to run to embark on EU/UK trade relations – worth validating, there was no delay till 12/20 and EEA citizens were treated differently to UK citizens residing in the United Kingdom. Again, the EUSS deployment not only overrides the EUWA (2018) requirement of human rights to be observed it dissolves the basis of cooperation our core values and rights / shared values. In spirit, shared values have evaporated, notably all available to be read in Part [1] of the Political Declaration’s initial provisions.


Furthermore, the main principle of freedom of movement has ended, meaning free movement in the UK’s immigration bill engineers a substantial change across the statute book in both primary and secondary legislation, the idea a FTA will commence thereafter is a derangement in terms. At present, amendments will have to be introduced to the EUWA 2018 to keep the safety net of trade formality open. But all EU / UK Think Tanks know the poison too well in the veins of UK protectionism; indeed, the signs remain the same, even after the drop in currency valuation of the pound (GBP) in recent years, talks of an extension isn’t an option; alas, the clock is ticking.


In retrospect, the UK is immobile replicating Melville’s ‘Moby-Dick’ marooned on a beach, and claiming it’s all part of the plan, and the chances of this static strategy folding in the autumn is a dead cert. Regretfully, the UK benefited through the Emergency Support Instrument in recent months at the apex of the corona virus PPE shortage; ironically this was part of what the UK committed to in the 2018 Mandate, notably in the European Development Fund, see Article 148. Considering the UK are refuting the ESI bill the EU can deem this to be yet another breach of the WAB / PD Mandate. This is an unimaginable travesty of what was a great nation which was a beacon of international law, human rights and working standards. Now we’re wide open for a plethora of international litigation.
