‘So the first question to Mrs May, ‘What does Arlene Foster think about it?’ ‘Oh I don’t know; I haven’t spoken to her.’ I mean, it’s ridiculous.’ ibid. European dude
The Irish border backstop: it will haunt the negotiations to the very end. ibid.
The national political scene of course is a total joke … [Theresa May] The woman to obfuscate … Theresa May is clearly a total puppet of the corporatocracy … Jeremy Corbyn, after 35 years in the British parliament, still didn’t have the courage to stand up to his convictions of getting out of the EU. Ian R Crane, To Absurdity & Beyond, Youtube 30.50
This is the story of how something that was supposed to be gloriously simple turned out to be a nightmare. It’s a tale of ruthless power plays, secret offers and spectacular mistakes. At stake billions of pounds, our jobs, and the future of the United Kingdom itself. Britain’s Brexit Crisis, BBC 2019
EU leaders feared a populist tide. ibid.
Believing the EU was all about trade was a crucial early mistake. ibid.
Some thought the no-deal threat was crazy; others thought it was mad not to make the threat look real. ibid.
With time running out and the EU refusing to budge, Theresa May decided she had to sign up to what was on offer. She now needed parliament to back her. But first she needed her cabinet’s support. ibid.
‘For the UK I think it’s probably the worst deal in history.’ ibid. Farage
She survived but more than a third of her MPs voted against her. Theresa May now had to put her deal to a Commons’ vote. ibid.
Never have so many blameless people in this country been held in such contempt, or been subject to such vilification, by an elite. Rod Liddle
For almost two centuries the Conservative Party has shaped Britain. But today the Tories are in crisis. Today the most successful political party in the history of democracy is torn in pieces, gripped by the greatest national crisis since the Second World War. How did it come to this? Portillo: The Trouble with the Tories I, Channel 5 2019
I’ve watched appalled as my old party has all but destroyed itself. ibid.
Theresa May’s deal with Europe was rejected by a majority of 230: the largest government defeat in history. ibid.
A growing number of Tory MPs and their electorates now believed that being part of the European Union threatened our democratic institutions. ibid.
‘I think Cameron was almost driven mad by me.’ ibid. Farage
On 23rd January 2013 David Cameron made an announcement that would be momentous for the volatile Tory party and for the nation. ibid.
Margaret Thatcher had once been keen on the European idea. During her time as Tory leader, Mrs Thatcher journeyed from Europhile to Eurosceptic and took many of us with her. ibid.
The Referendum result destroyed David Cameron and his government, yet for many Conservatives this was the greatest moment ever – Independence Day. ibid.
This gathering of cunts does not represent the people who elected it. 400 Leave constituencies would be a landslide under voting protocols but the reverse is true.
They voted for a referendum.
They voted for Article 50.
The main parties had Leaving the EU in their manifestos.
They voted out May’s deal three times.
They seem to have made No-deal illegal, thus scuppering any chance of negotiation.
They don’t want an election despite Magic Grandpa calling for one constantly.
They won’t table no confidence as they don’t want an election even though there is now no majority government.
They have used the sainted Jo Cox as some sort of symbol to tar Johnson.
The Speaker is entirely biased against Brexit.
400 or so MPs have lined up with the Establishment, the City, Academia and diverse vested interests to deny the referendum result. They don’t want a deal… they want to stay in the EU.
There were terms for parliaments in days gone by – Long, short, Addled etc, but this is the Traitorous Parliament. is a cunt online 28 September 2019
There’s an old chestnut which asserts that ‘you can’t keep a good man down’. Sadly it appears that you can’t keep a cunt down either. Somebody’s kicked a stone over and allowed those shifty chancers John ‘The Grey Man’ Major and Anthony ‘Phony Tony’ Blair to slither out into the light again.
In a joint ‘Remoaning’ attack on the government, the Gruesome Twosome maintains that the United Kingdom Internal Trading Bill overrides certain ‘key aspects’ of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, including the protocol on Northern Ireland. Writing in The Sunday Times, they claim that ‘it is wrong in principle and dangerous in practice. It goes far beyond the impact on Ireland and negotiations for a trade deal, crucial though they are. It questions the very integrity of our nation’.
Mmm … principle? Integrity? A strange choice of words from the adulterous hypocrite ‘Mr Back to Basics’, the man who prorogued Parliament in 1997 to prevent debate on the expenses scandal, and who denied the people a say on the Maastricht Treaty. Good ol’ ‘Honest John’.
A strange choice of words from ‘Mr Dodgy Dossier’, the man who took the nation into what is widely regarded as an illegal war, and who many claim should be answering charges in front of a court in The Hague. Oh and let’s not forget those nudge-nudge peerages in return for cash to New Labour ‘nudge say no morwarh’ …
A strange choice of words from two weasels who’ve consistently argued against the will of the people with regard to the Brexit referendum, and who campaigned for a ‘People’s Vote’ because the referendum didn’t produce the outcome that they wanted, and indeed expected.
No, what’s irresponsible and dangerous is the persistent meddling and whining by a couple of yesterday’s men; two slippery has-beens who claim to accept that we’ve left the EU but who deep down want it to continue to hold dominion over us, because they sold their souls to Brussels long ago.
Well ‘cough’ ‘gentlemen’, you both had your day, so now you’re left to struggle constantly with coming to terms with your utter irrelevance. I don’t think many of us will look back on your contributions with much in the way fondness or gratitude. To quote from a classic Kern and Fields song, ‘you’re as cold as yesterday’s mashed potatoes’. Just shut up and fuck off already.
