Rees-Mogg and the AfD’s Alice Weidel have a lot in common – all of it nasty
The ERG supremo and the far-right German leader are nationalists linked by their hatred of the EU and much else

Alan Posener and Dick Cheney have a lot in common - all of it nasty
The former Maoist and the neocon former Vice President are irredeemable warmongers linked by their common stance on the Iraq war, their hatred of Russia and much else.
Ablenkende Relativierung.
"Gauland could never forgive the grocer’s daughter for destroying the Britain he admired, where people knew their place and a paternalistic old boys’ club presided over genteel decline. Modern Britain – a multicultural, multiracial, capitalist meritocracy – is everything Gauland doesn’t want Germany to become." Blödsinn, wie kann es eine Meritokratie sein, wenn Beobachter wie Pie zu recht beklagen, dass Leute bei der BBC aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe eingestellt werden? Gauland mag ein Tory sein, aber er ist ein deutscher Nationalist, kein britischer.
"Weidel is openly gay and lives with a Sri Lankan-born film producer and their two adopted sons in Switzerland, presumably for tax reasons." Nun, das ist Gossenjournalismus. Man muss Weidel nicht einmal mögen oder schätzen, um so eine Unterstellung ekelhaft zu finden.
Was für ein Scheißkerl Posener doch ist.

A shambles on which the sun never sets: how the world sees Brexit
Rapt observers around the globe are confused, amused and saddened by a crisis that has torn Britain’s reputation for stability to shreds
A New York Times columnist believes the UK “has gone mad”. How, asks a Russian TV host, can Britain fail so spectacularly “to correlate its capabilities with reality”? For Australia, it’s like “watching a loved grandparent in physical and mental decline”.
From China to Israel and Russia to Brazil, a world well beyond Europe is watching Britain’s Brexit bedlam with sorrow, bafflement and amusement – and, in those parts of the globe once told that Rule Britannia meant order, stability and shared long-term prosperity, not a little schadenfreude.
“If you can’t take a joke you shouldn’t come to London right now, because there is political farce everywhere,” wrote the New York Times commentator Thomas Friedman. “In truth, though, it’s not very funny. It’s actually tragic.”
Here was a country “determined to commit economic suicide but unable even to agree on how to kill itself”, led by “a ship of fools” unwilling to “compromise with one another and with reality”. The result was an “epic failure of political leadership”, Friedland said: scary stuff, but “you can’t fix stupid”.
Besides questioning the UK’s collective mental stability, US commentators have seen Brexit as the last act in Britain’s decline from imperial hubris to laughing stock – and rejoiced that there is at least one western nation more at sea than Trump’s America. ....

First Minister tells laughing Tories told to 'hang their heads in shame'
NICOLA Sturgeon told Tory MSPs to “hang their heads in shame” after they were heard laughing in Holyrood during a discussion about Brexit-related medicine shortages.
During First Minister’s Questions, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard asked Sturgeon for an update on the Scottish Government’s plans to stockpile six weeks’ worth of medicine, on top of normal stock levels, by the end of March to help mitigate the impact of a potential no-deal Brexit.
During his question, however, both Labour and SNP MSPs grew visibly frustrated by audible murmurings and laughter from the Tory benches.
The First Minister was not happy. “I couldn’t help but notice that while Richard Leonard was asking me that very important and serious question, the Conservative benches were laughing,” Sturgeon said. “This is not a laughing matter and every Conservative in this chamber and every Conservative across the country should be hanging their heads in shame at the fact that they have brought this country to the brink of crisis.”

If a long extension leaves us stuck in the EU we should be as difficult as possible. We could veto any increase in the budget, obstruct the putative EU army and block Mr Macron’s integrationist schemes.
1:43 AM - 5 Apr 2019
To that the first Minister of Scotland:
Nicola Sturgeon
@NicolaSturgeon
How strange - isn’t this the same guy who said the UK had no power to do any of these things in the EU and that’s why we had to leave.

Opinion: Amid the chaos of Brexit, Scotland is a beacon of sense in a sea of madness
As the parliament in Westminster continues its descent into anarchy you could be forgiven for thinking that British politics has reached a state of such utter dysfunction that it may never recover.
Thank God then for Scotland which - in an increasingly lunatic world - looks like it will emerge from the morass of Brexit with its dignity intact.
There is no denying that those most aggressively seeking Scottish independence have seized on Brexit as a powerful propaganda weapon to advance their cause.
While that is certainly true, it does a disservice to Nicola Sturgeon and her administration to suggest that advancing Scottish independence is the only reason that they have so vigorously fought to stop Brexit.
Though a majority of Scots voted against independence in 2014, when it came to the Brexit vote in 2016 the vast majority of Scottish voters - 62 per cent - said they wanted to stay in the EU.
Now as the UK prepares to drive off a cliff, in the most demented act of political self harm witnessed in Europe for decades, our Scottish neighbours are pleading with Europe not to abandon them in their hour of need.
Debate in Westminster has become a tragic farce but in Europe sense, logic and responsibility have generally prevailed in the face of British irrationality.
A striking example of this came in the EU chamber last week when Scottish National Party MEP Alyn Smith made an emotional rallying call to the European Parliament.
In what he said could be his last ever speech to the European Parliament, Smyth insisted that Scotland remains a European nation and he begged the lawmakers in Strasbourg to leave the door open to Scotland's return in the event that Nicola Sturgeon and her party can secure a vote for Scotland's independence from the UK.
"We celebrate international solidarity, we celebrate freedom of movement. If the European Union did not exist we would need to invent something like it and Scotland would like to be part of it," said Smyth to applause in the chamber.
"Cher colleagues, I'm not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home," he added.
It was a powerful, articulate contribution to a debate that, in Britain, has become more vicious and increasingly half-witted with every passing day.
If there were more politicians like Mr Smyth in Westminster then Europe might have been spared this abject mess.
The SNP's fight for Scottish independence still has a long way to go but recent polls have shown that more and more Scots believe Brexit will make Scotland's independence more likely.
Crucially 43 per cent of previously undecided Scots polled in the last week say that Brexit had made up their minds and that they now back independence.
Whatever about Westminster, there are interesting times ahead in Holyrood.

Article 50 extension: wouldn’t it be nice if just for once the PM acted in the national interest?
The government’s latest Brexit proposal is as deranged as anything it has put forward in the past three years
Wouldn’t it be nice if just for once, our prime minister acted in the national interest? If she asked something of the EU that was not motivated by devotion to her defeated red lines, short-term self-interest or terror of her backbenches?
Alas, not this time. On Friday Theresa May wrote her latest letter to European Council president Donald Tusk, requesting an extension to Article 50 for the second time. The deadline of 29th March, upon which May insisted more than a hundred times, may as well never have existed. Rather, she now insists on a new date, which is equally unrealistic, and which has already been rejected by the EU: 30th June. ....
The further we move towards Brexit, the profounder the cynicism becomes. May knows full well that it would be absurd to elect MEPs who will never claim their seats. She knows too that the EU will never accept such a request. But we long ago abandoned any pretence of being a serious country led by a serious government. Pragmatism is dead. Every decision May takes is designed only to nudge her premiership into the next day.
The prime minister should recognise that her deal has been comprehensively defeated, and that the EU will only now offer a long extension—and duly request one. But her MPs would rise up against her. And so she must nudge and wink her way out of her self-created national crisis, and ask the EU to do her dirty work. It must be they who demand the long extension she knows we need, and consequently also they who take responsibility for it. ...
Although the Brexit war seems interminable, the Brexit fundamentalists for now look defeated. They know they do not have the numbers to force no-deal, and that May has finally taken fright of the prospect. They also see the government negotiating with the Labour Party and issuing signs about a customs union, which is Jeremy Corbyn’s minimum requirement. Jacob Rees-Mogg was today reduced to issuing threats about obstructing EU legislation during any long extension—and thus revealed that the “sovereignty” he craved had never been lost.

Is cancelling Brexit the Prime Minister’s new default?
Is the de facto Brexit default now revoking Article 50 this week rather than a no-deal Brexit on 12 April?
I ask because the PM is now explicitly saying the choice is a binary one between some version of her negotiated deal and not leaving at all (that is what she said in her sofa chat on Sunday).
The point is that she has no power to prevent a no-deal Brexit on 12 April by delaying Brexit; for a delay, she needs the unanimous agreement of the EU's 27 leaders.
But she does have the unilateral power to prevent a no-deal by cancelling Brexit altogether, by revoking the Article 50 application to leave the EU.
So, have she and Whitehall, who are persuaded (rightly or wrongly) that no-deal on April 12 would be a catastrophe (especially for the integrity of UK), made a huge emotional leap to prepare for the political (if not economic) explosion of cancelling Brexit this week - in that there remains a serious risk that the EU will not grant the UK an extension or an extension on acceptable terms.
