Parliament is working AGAINST the people so Boris Johnson is right to wave about the threat of proroguing
THE Prime Minister is about to suspend Parliament to slash the chances of MPs stopping us leaving the European Union by October 31. By now, it’s probably the only way out of this impasse.
Parliament is heavily in favour of us remaining within the EU and NEVER leaving. And MPs have spent the past three years doing everything they possibly can to thwart the democratic will of the people.
As expressed in that referendum we had. You know, you remember the one. June 23, 2016.
Incredibly, the Opposition parties are denouncing Boris Johnson as “undemocratic” for this course of action.
God help us — if you ever wanted a definition of hypocrisy this is it. These are the MPs who have tried every trick in the book to keep us in the EU. They don’t give a damn what the public wants. And they call BoJo undemocratic! Bizarre.
They were all gathered together to make their fatuous Church House declaration. Insisting they will set up an alternative parliament if Boris prorogues parliament.
Fine, do it. Someone rent them a village hall somewhere in Rotherham. They can sit in it and bicker and make pompous pronouncements while we get on with our lives. And the Government gets on with delivering Brexit.
They’ve certainly made it harder for Boris to negotiate with Brussels by their selfish — and I say it again — undemocratic actions. But in the end they won’t matter.
Anyway, this barrel of jabbering monkeys can’t even agree with each other about anything. Magic Grandpa — Jeremy Corbyn — wasn’t there. We were told he had lots of meetings. Yeah, right. I didn’t know Hamas or the Cubans were in town.
But Labour wants Corbyn to be a caretaker Prime Minister after a vote of no confidence. Trouble for Grandpa is, nobody else does. The Lib Dems, led by Jo Swinson, want someone like Ken Clarke or Harriet Harman to be temporary Prime Minister. Two steadfast remainers — don’t forget, it’s not “No Deal” these people are against, it’s leaving full stop. Shoving a remainer such as Clarke in as Prime Minister would be, effectively, a coup.
The ludicrous Plaid Cymru will only back Labour’s plan if they promise to keep us in the EU. That’s against the wishes of the voters of . . . Wales.
The Greens wanted an alternative government comprised solely of women, because their mystical healing powers will be able to resolve the crisis. But no black people found a place in this government of theirs. It is becoming more and more evident that the Greens are loopy.
AGAINST THE PEOPLE
Boris Johnson is right to go on negotiating with the EU. He is also right to have taken a tough line with them. That’s what we should have done on Day One, June 24, 2016.
And he will be held to his word to deliver a full and proper exit from the EU by October 31 by Nigel Farage and his merry band in the Brexit Party.
Failure to do so will result in an annihilation of the Tory Party at a General Election.
What this all tells us is that Parliament no longer represents the people. It hasn’t done for a long while. But now at least it is clear. Parliament is working AGAINST the people. And it has been doing so undisguisedly for three years.
That’s why Boris is right to wave about the threat of proroguing Parliament. Leave John McDonnell, Swinson, Noggin The Nog and the rest of them to convene their traitors’ parliament.
With any luck, it won’t make an iota of difference. And then, at the next election, vote them all out.
All the Labour and Plaid MPs who represent leaver constituencies but don’t even pretend to honour their views. Get shot.
Nasty Guy
THE liberal Belgian politician Guy Verhofstadt is a strange-looking bloke.
Bit of a wrong ’un, in my book. If you saw him lurking outside a school you’d probably ring the Old Bill.
He’s also a nasty piece of work. When we voted to leave the European Union, this a***hole said: “Britain has shot itself in the foot. We intend to shoot you in the other one.”
So right away we should have known where we stood. Now Verhofstadt is whining about Boris Johnson’s intention not to pay the £39billion we supposedly owe the EU if we leave with no deal.
“Britain is better than that,” he said, pompously. Stuff it, Verhofstadt. There is a good case for saying we don’t owe a single penny to the EU.
And threaten us with no trade deal all you like – let’s see how the big European companies who send their exports to the UK like that idea.
Your days are numbered, Guy.
Count them.
Escape reality. . . and bin Bake Off
NICOLA Townsend became frustrated with her elderly and frail dad, Terry.
So she killed him by chucking a TV remote control at his head. And therefore became the first ever person to be convicted of manslaughter by channel zapper.
I will be the second, if anyone tries to put on the Great British Bake Off while I’m in the room.
I realise everyone else is terribly excited. But why on earth would anyone be interested in watching a bunch of drongos try to bake a cake? Here are a few other possible reality shows which, when they’re made, I will not watch.
CELEBRITY IRONING: Joey Essex and Maria Fowler watch people even less famous than them try to iron a shirt.
THE GREAT BRITISH SOUP CHALLENGE: Ant and Dec host an evening of enormous fun as a series of nonentities from former Big Brother shows try to eat a bowl of oxtail soup without spilling any down their fronts.
THURSDAY NIGHT IS BIN NIGHT: Watch Helen Flanagan, pictured, try to beat Kym Marsh at putting items of household waste into the correct bin bags. Hosted by Jacob Rees-Mogg.
DEAD GOGGLEBOX: Is it the plug or the receiver? Or have you just not tuned it in properly? Simon Cowell watches former Apprentice contenders try to work out why their television isn’t working.
CELEBRITY S**T ISLAND: Calum Best, Charlotte Crosby, Mark Wright and Gemma Collins are marooned on an island with 40 well-fed dogs and an unlimited supply of black poo bags. Winner is the contestant who collects the most dog excrement.
Let's be tough
SOME 40,000 failed asylum seekers are still living in the UK.
This is because nobody can be a***d to kick them out.
The Government doesn’t want to be seen as being “hard” on illegal immigrants.
I don’t know why not. Most people in this country would quite like it if they were – y’know – a little bit tougher.
Imagine how much money this is costing the country.
Not one of us yet, Sir
RESPECT, then, to Prince William and Kate for taking a cheapo flight costing only about £350 for the entire family.
That puts his bro, Harry, and ginger’s grandstanding wife Meghan to shame. I think Meghan books a private plane every time she gets her toenails done.
However, Wills and Kate were driven on to the tarmac in a limo, from where they got straight on the plane. Kind of “Speedy Boarding Ultra”.
And I bet they didn’t have to wait THAT long for their cheese and ham toastie plus a kid’s box from the trolley.
You’re getting there, guys, but there’s still a way to go before you’re a true pleb.
ChavAir
PARENT Of The Week is the nice lady from Liverpool who was escorted off an easyJet flight by the police for, er, disruptive behaviour.
In particular, she screamed at one of her kids: “Stop it or I’ll break yer f***ing legs.”
I don’t know what the child had been doing.
I do sometimes wonder if we should form a new airline, ChavAir, so people like this lady can travel abroad without antagonising the rest of us.
Racist Enid
THERE will be no 50p coin celebrating the work of children’s author Enid Blyton. That’s because a committee decided she should be banned for her “sexist, homophobic and racist” views.
Blyton gave pleasure to untold millions. She probably helped millions more learn how to read. But everything, these days, is rendered null and void because of the greatest crime of all, racism.
We live in an increasingly absurd and intolerant country.
Dead and Bury-ed
POOR Bury have become the first league side to be expelled during a season.
They were bought by a businessman for a quid. The debts are still racking up. More will follow unless the English Football League gets its act together.
The Financial Fair Play rules were brought in to stop this sort of thing happening. But the rules are flouted time and again by clubs desperate for success. And the punishments are either slow in coming or absent altogether.
Owners think they can get away with it and so they endanger their clubs by overspending. The EFL needs to toughen up a bit. Preferably before another historic club goes out of business.
Blaze blame
THE raging fires in the Amazon rainforest are a global catastrophe. It is heartbreaking to watch millions of square miles of pristine forest go up in smoke. But the international response to this tragedy has been hampered by one thing.
most read in opinion
Liberal Western politicians, such as the idiotic French President Emmanuel Macron, loathe Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro. They hate him because he is a populist. Or, in their words, a “fascist”. Everyone who doesn’t agree with them is a “fascist”. And they cannot resist insulting the bloke – and blaming him for the inferno.
It is a stupid and counterproductive reaction. I even heard one idiot on the BBC PM programme blame the fires on the worldwide spread of nationalism.
You stupid pillock. If you want to help the situation, stop abusing Bolsonaro. And stop trying to shoehorn your own political agenda into the crisis.
