Snowflake liberal elite whinging about ‘populism’ can’t stand the idea they don’t know best… WE do
Populism is what every democratic nation believes in - and if liberal elites continue to respond as they currently are, they can expect more of it
THE buzzword of 2016 is “populism” – meaning the rebellion of the people against an arrogant, out-of-touch, self-serving elite.
Populism sounds like a very good thing, doesn’t it?
Populism sounds like the democratic will of the people in action. Populism sounds like what every free country believes in.
This is surely why our ancestors fought two world wars. Yet populism has become a dirty word.
Populism has become a term of abuse.
In fact, populism has become a euphemism for racist, uneducated thickos like you and me ignoring the advice of our over-educated betters and deciding we want things done differently.
It began with Brexit. 17.4million of us ignored the will of Cameron, Obama, Blair, Major and even the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats to vote to leave the corrupt, incompetent, job-destroying European Union.
That’s populism right there — many millions of ordinary men and women deciding that our masters have got things catastrophically wrong.
And they don’t like it.
So from the BBC to the Supreme Court, to the backbenches of Westminster, populism has come to mean the great unwashed coming to the incorrect decision.
In the corridors of power, where ordinary Brits are viewed with withering contempt, populism is seen as collective stupidity that must be opposed at every turn.
The liberal elite whine about populism when democracy does something they disagree with. And a lot of their opposition to populism is starting to seem dangerously undemocratic.
Even now, they dream of defying the will of the people. Tony Blair announces he will be forming an organisation to fight populism and that “Brexit can be stopped”. Ken Clarke dismisses the EU referendum as a mere “opinion poll”.
Eleven Supreme Court judges sit on their well-fed buttocks and blithely discuss leaving the EU as if what they think matters more than 17.4million voters.
Ed Miliband — whose constituents in Doncaster North backed Brexit by 69 per cent — wants to slam the emergency brakes on leaving the EU, demanding a full white paper even if it wrecks all chances of a successful negotiation with Brussels.
But how does that work, Ed? You are elected to represent the people of Doncaster North.
They have taken the decision to get this country out of the EU. Who are you to dismiss their votes?
And who is the liar Blair to vow to fight Brexit? Who is nicotine-stained old Ken Clarke to dismiss the referendum as an opinion poll?
Why do we need the Supreme Court judges when we were instructed that our decision was final?
WHY DO THEY KNOW BEST?
The liberal elite despises the way the world is going.
They resemble the leaders of the old Eastern Europe just as their Communist fiefdoms started to crumble with the Berlin Wall.
Like those long forgotten Communist leaders, those now shrieking about “populism” are on the wrong side of history.
Well, suck it up, snowflakes!
Because populism is going to be even bigger in 2017.
And all the democracy- denying, out-of-touch snobs need to explain one thing to all us thick populists.
What’s so clever about being unpopular?
- LABOUR slumped to fourth place in the Sleaford by- election. Who came third? The Monster Raving Loony Party?
End this Troubles witch hunt
AT a cost of millions of pounds and immeasurable human misery, as many as 1,000 former British troops who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles are to be investigated as potential murder or manslaughter suspects.
All killings by British troops during the Troubles are to be investigated by Northern Ireland’s Legacy Investigation Branch – paid for by you, the generous British taxpayer.
So will butchering terrorists also be under scrutiny? Will there be former members of the IRA now in their sixties and seventies who have to worry about being accused of murder or manslaughter?
You know the answer to that one, don’t you?
You can guess that the investigation into deaths of long ago will NOT include the victims of the IRA. Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, many terrorists were granted pardons for their unspeakable crimes.
PM Tony Blair also secretly handed out 156 “letters of comfort” to IRA suspects, telling them they had no need to fret their pointy little heads about ever being prosecuted.
This is not an honest investigation. It is a filthy witch-hunt.
This country made peace with men who would have danced on the graves of our children. Under the terms of the peace deal, their crimes were forgiven.
So why the hell are British troops not granted exactly the same treatment?
There is one law for the IRA and another law entirely for the British Army. And it bears no resemblance to justice.
Dozy Keira was spout of order
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY says her 18-month-old daughter swore when she heard that Donald Trump had won the US presidential election.
Keira excitedly told Jonathan Ross: “I brought her into bed and she’s watching television, completely silently and totally still for about four minutes and she rolls over on to her back and she closes her eyes and goes ‘f***’.”
So did the tiny mite favour Hillary Clinton or was she more of a Bernie Sanders supporter?
Keira doesn’t say, merely reporting that she was “very proud” of her little girl, whose political views miraculously echo those of Keira and all her smug, virtue-signalling class.
When will all these Rada luvvies stop flapping their sub-moronic cakeholes about politics?
Every time they spout on the subject we are reminded that someone else writes all their scripts.
- IT is deeply disturbing that Mick Jagger, 73, has had a baby with Melanie Hamrick, 29. How can this possibly work out well? She’s far too old for him.
Merk’s a berk to get tough on immigration so late
MEIN Gott! What a U-turn by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who now tells her Christian Democratic Union party that she wants to ban the burka in public.
It is a bit late for Frau Merkel to start talking tough on immigration when she threw open Germany’s borders to more than one million Muslim migrants in just one year, changing the fabric of German society for ever.
In a pathetic attempt to win back support from the anti-immigration Alternative For Germany party, Merkel says that “not all” of the million-plus newcomers will be permitted to stay if they are unwilling to integrate into German society.
Where will she send them to? Back to Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan? I think she might discover that violates their human rights.
Germany will get shot of their idiotic Chancellor within a year. But it is stuck with the effects of Merkel’s million-plus newcomers for ever.
- HILLARY CLINTON bleats about the evils of “fake news”.
I wonder if she means Bill Clinton stating: “I did not have sex with that woman!”
Robo romance? Not in love with the thought…
BANK of England Governor Mark Carney warns 15million Brits are going to lose their jobs to robots due to the “merciless technological revolution”.
It is already happening. At my local supermarket, a nice young man directed me to one of the automated checkouts “because it is quicker”. Doesn’t he realise he’s doing himself out of a job? Can’t he see that he’s collaborating with the enemy?
“I prefer human beings,” I told him and he looked at me with disbelief, as if I was resisting the inevitable future.
Where will it end?
David Levy, an expert in artificial intelligence, says that by 2050 “robots will have the capacity to fall in love with humans” while relationships expert Dr Helen Driscoll reckons that robots are going to become central to the sex industry.
You can’t fight the future.
More 3-in-One oil, darling?
- ACTRESS Sofia Vergara is being sued by her own frozen embryos – two contrary little madams named as Emma and Isabella in court papers.
They apparently “demand the right to life”, according to Sofia’s ex-boyfriend Nick Loeb.
I have heard of difficult offspring but this is ridiculous. They usually wait until they are teenagers before they are this hostile to their mother.
Tougher sentences for dangerous drivers
EVERY passing week brings another horror story on our roads.
A murderously careless driver. Innocent lives shattered. Unimaginable horror inflicted because of reckless driving.
Another young child robbed of her life.
And a pathetically soft jail sentence at the end of it all.
Next week it will be some other innocent family destroyed by some other fatally thoughtless driver.
Fletcher got a laughable 14-month jail sentence.
He will spend just one Christmas inside.
Those who loved Zena and Cidalia received a harsher sentence.
They get life.
- PRINCE Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle is seen wearing a necklace with their initials on.
And judging by the way Harry defied protocol by popping in to see Meghan in Canada on his way back from a royal tour of the Caribbean, she also has him wrapped around her little finger.
