THE TAKEOVER OF THE UK - BY 'THE BAD GUYS'



Is the UK Conservative Party allowing British assets to be sold to the 'bad guys'?

Under the David Cameron Conservative government, "the UK's cutting-edge smart-chip company Arm Holdings was sold to Japan's Softbank for £25billion.

"The new owners immediately arranged to sell the highly profitable Pacific part of the business to China, spiriting away valuable patents and expertise to Beijing. 

"Another 25 per cent of Arm ended up in the hands of Saudi Arabia."

In the lead up to the UK general election, Boris Johnson's advisers met Yuri Geller in Israel.

In Boris Johnson's Britain, "overseas buyers seeking to swoop on the UK's superior intellectual property, patents and R&D will be licking their lips at the prospect of acquiring assets on the cheap and without effective challenge."

The billionaires who like to have their yachts in the Caribbean at Christmas include Roman Abramovich, Russian billionaire Victor Rashnikov, music mogul David Geffen, Russian oil tycoon Evgeny Shvidler, and fashion mogul Bernard Arnault, who owns Louis Vuitton.

Recently Louis Vuitton bought the British company Belmond. (Belmond | Luxury Hotels, Trains, River Cruises and Safaris)


22 Dec 2019 - "Last week saw the Pound to US Dollar exchange rate plummet in reaction to a combination of factors, most vital being a sudden revival of no-deal Brexit fears."

Outlook For Pound To Dollar Exchange Rate

In 1984, Boris Johnson arrived  in Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi as a volunteer.
Boris stayed with the Alec Collins family, a UK family from Leeds that had made aliyah in 1957.

Boris Johnson's government has approved the £4bn takeover, by US private equity firm Advent International, of the UK defence and aerospace company Cobham.

'Cobham, which employs 10,000 people, is known for pioneering technology enabling the mid-air refuelling of planes.

'The firm, based in Wimborne, Dorset, also makes electronic warfare systems and communications for military vehicles.'

Lady Nadine Cobham, the widow of Sir Michael Cobham, told the Mail on Sunday, she would not accept Advent's assurances about its plans. "I don't think it would be worth the paper it's written on," she said.

Boris Johnson is an American citizen and is descended from a rabbi.

There is a belief that he may allow the sale of some of the following UK companies to American companies -

BP

Prudential

Tesco

HSBC Holdings

Aviva

Legal & General

Vodafone

GlaxoSmithKline

Centrica

Barclays

Lloyds Bank

Compass Group

BT

Rolls Royce

BAE Systems

Is Britain being looted by foreigners and their friends?

Cadbury's chief executive, the American Todd Stitzer, is expected to be given cash and shares worth £12m, after Cadbury's sale to Kraft." (£2m a day cost of Cadbury deal – plus £12m for the boss)

Cadbury's chairman Roger Carr Carr has been paid £390,000 a year for his part-time job at Cadbury. (When Roger met Irene: the Hyde Park handshake that sold Cadbury)

Carr, as chairman of Chubb, oversaw the sale of the locks business to a Swedish company.

As chairman of Thames Water, Carr agreed its £4bn sale to German group RWE.

Carr works as an adviser to US private equity giant Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

The American Kohlberg Kravis Roberts bought the UK chemists Alliance Boots, which has now gone downhill.

British companies are disappearing fast.

The Glazers, American Jews, bought Manchester United.

The UK military now seems to be owned by the Pentagon, which is a close friend of Israel.

Much of the UK media appears to be foreign owned.

Even Britain's so called United Kingdom Independence Party, seems to be owned by Israel. (aangirfan: UKIP is Israel's best friend )


Who owns the British police and security services?

Some of the UK companies taken over by foreigners:

BELMOND RAILWAYS - DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY



Reopening a Dumfries to Stranraer railway is one of a string of options still on the table for the future of transport in south west Scotland.

Draft proposals have been published and are now out for consultation.



South West Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway, would be an ideal area for luxury rail travel of the sort provided by the Belmond Royal Scotsman elsewhere in Scotland.

Belmond.com | Belmond Royal Scotsman 



Dumfries and Galloway.

Think about a Belmond rail journey with:

Live ceilidhs, 
A visit to a distillery, 
An observation car, 
Visits to castles and gardens,
An on-board spa, 
Fresh Scottish cuisine 
And outdoor pursuits.


Dumfries and Galloway's Lost Railways

Currently, there is a rail link between Glasgow and Stranraer.

Currently there is a rail link between Glasgow and Dumfries.

Currently there is a rail link between London and Dumfries (via Carlisle).

It has been suggested that the rail link between Dumfries and Stranraer should be restored.



Until more rail links are restored, Belmond could use luxury coaches for trips to such places as:

Drumlanrig Palace,
Logan Botanic Garden,
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation,
The Peter Pan linked Moat Brae house,

Drumlanrig palace, in Dumfries and Galloway.

AND Broughton House and Garden,
Robert Burns house,
And the Cairnholy neolithic tombs.

...

In John Buchan's Thirty Nine Steps, Richard Hannay headed by rail from London to Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway.

John Buchan loved Dumfries and Galloway.



The reopening of the Dumfries- Stranraer railway would allow a company such as Belmond to provide luxury train travel, and luxury hotels, to wealthy tourists from around the world.

Train journeys in Europe
Train journeys in Great Britain
Train journeys in Ireland
Train journeys in Scotland

Reopen the Dumfries- Stranraer railway

Above, we see Knockinaam Lodge, near Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway.

Sir Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower held secret meetings at Knockinaam Lodge.

Knockinaam Lodge inspired John Buchan while he was writing The 39 Steps.


Dumfries and Galloway attracts many cyclists.
