Systems Theory 2
ukipdaily.com Weltanschauung and the System - UKIP Daily | UKIP News | UKIP Debate flyer [Ed: “Weltanschauung”: ‘worldview’, a concept fundamental to German philosophy (see wikipedia )] In my last article “A Bit of Systems Theory” we had a look at basic systems theory 101 and how it relates to our country’s systems, political, economic etc. We can carry on this analogy much further though, carry it on beyond the hard systems methods of models and prototypes used on a daily basis by engineers and systems analysts. We can carry this on into the nebulous and shadowy world of ‘Soft Systems,’ a world not fully understood by many and occupied most often by psychologists and academics. When we design, redesign or make changes to a system, we need to start with a Weltanschauung or world view. We’re looking for a mental construct of what exactly the system is, what it is designed to ac...
Systems Theory 1
An interesting piece by "Flyer" ukipdaily.com A Bit of Systems Theory - UKIP Daily | UKIP News | UKIP Debate flyer I find systems theory a fascinating subject, particularly the way that we conceptualise situations and arrive at solutions. Many years ago, I went aboard an ocean racing yacht with a famous skipper; I can’t even remember what we were doing. Looking into the heads, there were a row of the crew’s toothbrushes, all of the handles had been cut off to about half of their normal length to save weight. When you look at the few grams of weight saved by cutting off the handles of toothbrushes, it may seem insignificant. However, the only useful weight on a racing yacht is below the waterline. When the yacht has been stripped to a bare minimum, and every weight saving option carried out: where do you go from here? Well, if we consider the toothbrushes as part of a crew hygiene system or even just look at the heads, o...

COPYRIGHT DIRECTIVE This directive has now gone to Trilogue and if all three agree the burden of introduction and imposition will fall on EU Member countries. Blogs of this kind will be affected as well as internet 'big players', so if you value your freedom of speech and value the internet as it is; lobby your MP and keep on pressuring him or her so that when the debate comes to our parliament they all know our feelings.
LEGAL OPINION GIVEN TO THE CABINET RE: 'BACKSTOP' lawyersforbritain.org Legal Advice to the Cabinet on the Northern Irish "backstop" - Lawyers for Britain By Martin Howe QC The Attorney General’s advice to the Cabinet on the Northern Irish “backstop” has been in the news, with demands for it to be made public. Here, Martin Howe QC, Chairman of Lawyers for Britain, sets out his own advice to the Cabinet about what they need to consider if they are thinking of agreeing a backstop with the EU which is subject to a review mechanism. So this is the advice I would give the Cabinet. The current “backstop” is not legally binding First, the baseline of the legal advice is that the existing text about the “backstop” dating from the December 2017 so-called Phase 1 Agreement is not legally binding. This backstop text consists of two ambiguous, confusing and internally self-contradictory paragraphs in a Joint Report by the UK and E...
Brexit agreement
As the Canada plus FTA is on offer from the EU I wonder why the government is pursuing the damaged Checkers proposal? My understanding is that the Canada plus FTA is almost a proforma for agreements we would need to conclude with any other country, with whom we wished to have free trade arrangements. If anyone know why we should not use the Canadian version of an FTA please let me have details for this blog site.
