At least the fascists are being stopped somewhere

Excellent news. The would-be Mussolini, Salvini has massively overplayed his hand and been slapped down.

[Axholme Lion]

Yes, Boris has stopped them from overturning the will of the people by ignoring the referendum result.

[SydneyRover]

Have just spent a few hours in the Resistance museum in Amsterdam bst and it's a timely reminder of how it can all go wrong very quickly and how propaganda played a large part in undermining the will of the people.

How much of the UK press is centre right or just plain right?

[Glyn_Wigley]

Yes, Boris has stopped them from overturning the will of the people by ignoring the referendum result.

And he's done it by ignoring the will of people when they spoke one year after the referendum.

Was that the election where 80% of those who voted placed there support behind parties who at the time were pro Brexit?

[foxbat]

still waiting to hear how I will be better off by leaving the EU !

[Donnywolf]

Select a comfy chair

Buy War and Peace and the Complete Works of William Shakespeare both in the Icelandic language

Teach yourself Icelandic

Read all the above and then .....

.... still nobody will be able to tell you anything positive

[SydneyRover]

Funnnnnnnny

[BillyStubbsTears]

Here's one.

We'll have taken back control from the demagogues who run the EU and we'll have given power back to our Parli...

...oh, odd on.

[BigH]

Yes, Boris has stopped them from overturning the will of the people by ignoring the referendum result.

You know, at times like this, I find myself going back to the question that was actually asked in the 2016 referendum, namely:

Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?

Note the lack of mention of timing, invocation of Article 50, a General Election, extended prorogation of parliament, taking heed of the ERG, creation of a Brexit Party, prospective recession, Johnson as PM, Cummings as PM lead advisor...I could go on.

All of these things are the result of certain individuals/groups with vested interests hijacking the outcome of the answer to that question for their own ends. And all in the supposed name of 'the will of the people'. Really?

Think about it; who's ****ing whom?

No, the election where 0% of those who voted placed their support behind a party who wanted to sideline Parliament.

Indeed it is , it's like a breath of fresh air . This may serve as a reminder to Doris Johnson that if you over-reach you can lose. Salvini was playing poker with a far stronger hand than Johnson ; who has stirred up a hornet's nest that should be his undoing very shortly . He is up againdt the usually benign but increasingly angry  British people -  even amongst the "will  of the people " .
Now Italy have to get there house in order , Brexit should have been an opportunity  for the Italians .

Talking of would-be fascists, I see Cummings has been floating another genius idea today.

If Parliament forces Johnson to go to Brussels to ask for an extension to A50, they'll ask Viktor Orban from Hungary to veto it.

That's right. The UK Govt will ask a foreign quasi-fascist autocrat who has destroyed the freedom of the judiciary and press in his own country, to block the will of the UK Parliament.

This Taking Back Control is REALLY weird isn't it?

[SydneyRover]

It's getting very weird all those countries we laughed and made jokes about with their tin-pot governments, will we yet see boris riding a horse shirtless (or shitless even) parading his manliness to swooning crowds.

Cuming's reminds me of

Orban is a top man in my book.

[foxbat]

really ?  is he before or after Hitler ?

[Sprotyrover]

Fascist isn't that somebody with extreme Anti Semitic views?

[Ldr]

No that's an anti semite mate

[glosterred]

I thought, watching the news, a fascist is anyone who doesn’t agree with they’re view, especially on BREXIT. As it seems the remoaners scream it at anyone who wants to leave!

[Ldr]

It's become fashionable

[Ldr]

Momentum have made mob mentality the norm

[BillyStubbsTears]

No Glos. It's someone with a far right stance who unpicks democracy and plays to nationalistic prejudice. Orban fits the bill perfectly.

[Bentley Bullet]

What about left-wing fascists?

[Bentley Bullet]

Those unanswered questions are building up, Billy lad!

[Axholme Lion]

What about left-wing fascists?

Didn't you know the left are all Angels?

[Axholme Lion]

really ?  is he before or after Hitler ?

Not quite up with Enver Hoxha.

[bobjimwilly]

show me 1 incident of left wing f

What about left-wing fascists?

there's no such thing. buy a dictionary, read a book or something.

[Tarkovsky_Mikluzhkin]

If the Nazis are socialists does that mean North Korea (The Democratic People's Republic of Korea) are a Democracy.

[Sprotyrover]

So I looked it up Fascists are believers in a well run Authoritarian State. Communists believe in the state being run by Collectives not dissimilar from momentum!

[Sprotyrover]

Racists are just Racist.
