From Democracy to Idiocracy
If you have never watched the comedy movie ‘IDIOCRACY’ then do so, at the moment that film is the crystal ball of the future or it certainly seems that way by what is happening in the UK at the moment, especially the Circus Show we call our Parliament. It is as if BREXIT has caused an epidemic of stupidity that goes from the man in the street to the highest echelons of power in the big house in London and it seems to be getting worse as each day goes by…
Our parliamentarians, you know those people who we elect to represent our best interests and make Britain look good in the world, well not anymore… They now seem intent on making Britain the laughing stock of the world and for once they are actually doing a good job at something. They actually held a vote in Parliament, albeit a non-binding vote but a vote none the less, to take a No Deal Brexit off the table. Anyone with any knowledge of the EU or Law looked on in bewilderment knowing full well that No Deal is the automatic default of Article 50 when the exit negotiations end and there has been no agreement made and the simple fact is, Parliament does not have the power to alter that and so the world looked on and laughed. Then parliament decides it is going to take control of Brexit and they voted on eight various options for Brexit and all eight got voted down, so the world laughed even louder. Then to top it all off Theresa May has parliament vote on changing the Withdrawal Act 2018 ‘Exit Day’ from March 29th to… Oh hang on we don’t know whether it will be April 12th or May 22nd so maybe the act will be changed to exit day = xx/xx/xxxx and by this stage the world was rolling on the floor, splitting its sides with laughter. Try saying the word ‘Incompetent’ in your head and not think of our UK Parliament.
Now Theresa May has gone begging once again with cap in hand to get a further extension to October 31st and the laughter has suddenly stopped as the world looks on in total disbelieve at what can only be described as total lunacy. All Britain wants from the EU is a mutually beneficial Trade deal after we have parted company and we cannot actually negotiate that until after we have left, it would breach the Lisbon Treaty to do otherwise. So there can only be one reason for continuously delaying ‘Exit Day’ and that is to keep us permanently in the EU, there simply is no other logical reason for doing it. It is certainly not the UK that is on a cliff edge if we leave on a WTO Brexit, it is the EU that is and so Theresa May is trying to save the EU at the expense of her own country and also her own party is just as much to blame because even though May and her cabinet are pursuing these unnecessary delays the rest of the Tory backbenchers seem to have no intention whatsoever of stopping her from selling this country out! But I suppose once the EU succeeds in becoming the superpower it is so desperate to be and has control of every aspect of the UK, our parliament will be redundant anyway! So maybe that is why they simply do not care?
108 times Theresa May categorically stated that Britain will leave the EU on March 29th 2019 and she lied 108 times on that point alone and then to further add to the stupidity of it all we have staunch Leave MP’s like Michael Fabricant MP, Jacob Rees Mogg MP, Boris Johnson MP and others all committing political HaraKiri by saying they would back May’s Deal which is not actually a deal at all, it is a change of treaty from the Lisbon Treaty to one that is far, far worse, even without the backstop. The deal is a change of one bad treaty for an even worse one and one that a country would normally sign after it has lost a war… Why would any right-minded person ever agree to that? We had John Bercrow MP (Speaker of the House) saying… “If there is no significant change in the deal it will not be allowed a third vote” and there has been no change whatsoever… Yet in true EU fashion, he has continuously allowed that Withdrawal Agreement to be voted on even though there have been no changes to it whatsoever! Is it really any wonder why we have become the laughing stock of the world?
There was actually one MP in parliament the other day (I can’t remember her name) but she actually believed that a poster stating ‘Death of Democracy” was a personal threat to MP’s and their staff… and that is someone we have making decisions for this country! Our Parliament has truly become a circus show of incompetent clowns filled with far too many who most certainly do not have the people or this county’s best interests at heart.
Then we have those uber intelligent Remainers, still deluding themselves that we are not going to leave the EU… A petition to revoke article 50 with over 6 million signatures on it and even though the government response has already responded to that petition stating… “This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.”, they are still deluding themselves it is going to be revoked and somehow totally oblivious to the fact that 16 million voted Remain in 2016, so if only 6 million now signed a petition, it actually means 10 million are no longer interested in Remaining in the EU but that will not stop them deluding themselves into thinking it proves they would win another EU Referendum. I strongly suspect the phrase, “As thick as a Remainer” will become commonplace in the UK after we have left the EU.
Mind you, being oblivious to things is quite a common trait among Remainers because for the past 43 years, the EU has decimated our manufacturing, Fishing, Energy and Agricultural industries and yet they think the EU is wonderful. The Lisbon Treaty clearly shows we have no influence on the EU’s ruling body the EU Commission (read Article 17(3) TEU and Article 245 TFEU) and yet they believe that we can influence reforms in the EU, even though Junker himself has stated there can be no democratic reform of the EU but I guess they think he doesn’t know what he is talking about. They also think that less than 200,000 turning out for the Peoples Vote March (#SoreLosersMarch) is over 1 million because that is what the media says even though it is physically impossible to fit 1 million people into that area. Once again scenes from IDIOCRACY come flashing to my mind and I wonder if, after Brexit, they will make March 29th ‘National Slap A Remainer Day’? Just to ensure they never forget just how stupid they have truly been. I suppose I should point out that is spoken in jest for those too thick to understand humour… you know who you are…
When 17.4 million people in the UK voted to Leave the EU it was not because they were brainwashed, confused or dysfunctional and simply believed the propaganda put out saying about how bad the EU was for Britain, after 43 years of being net contributors to that failed idealism is was blatantly obvious to anyone with an IQ greater than that of a brick, that the EU project was not working for Britain. For those that don’t know a net contributor is one that puts in more than they get out and that has always been the case for Britain as members of the EU and Leave voters knew exactly why they voted Leave! Many leave voters also knew that the EU is still evolving and certainly did not like what it would eventually become and also feared what it is likely to do, should it ever become a superpower with its own EU Army, undoubtedly filled by unwilling conscripts. I personally have no doubts if that happened than the EU would turn its attention to Russia and World War III will quickly follow but of course, Remainers have never once stopped to think of the consequences of a Germany controlled superpower, to them it’s all about a peaceful Europe all working together (cuckoo).. They need to take a good luck at peaceful Europe at the moment! As for those that do not believe that the EU is all about the betterment of Germany you only need to look at which country is doing the best out the EU, Germany even made £9 billion out of the Greek bailout…
Anyway, the other day Radio Sputnik called me for an interview in relation to all the current nonsense about Brexit and I was asked if things would have gone more smoothly had we had a Brexiteer PM… To which I responded, of course it would have because a Brexiteer PM would have looked at the whole situation properly and come to the obvious conclusion that there was no way that the EU could ever put forward or agree a mutually beneficial deal, even if it wanted to, because to do so would have only enticed 27 other member states to follow our lead in Brexit and that would undoubtedly mean the collapse of the EU. They needed to show that leaving the EU simply was not worth the hassle and I must say Parliament has done a mighty fine job of proving that point but a Brexiteer PM would have realised that the UK only wants a mutually beneficial trade agreement with the EU and as per the rules of the Lisbon Treaty the EU cannot actually negotiate a Trade Deal until after the UK has left the EU, so the two years of exit negotiations was simply a pointless exercise. They then could have said, let’s part as friends now and then sit down and sort out a good trade deal that works… Had that been done we would have been out of the EU 2 years ago and Britain would now have been flourishing outside the EU but still have been in a good relationship with the EU. Sadly though, now because of all the cluelessness and ‘IDIOCRACY’ of Parliament, that we have all had to endure for almost three years, I don’t think we will ever have a good relationship with the EU. So well done Parliament and Remainers, you have worked tirelessly together to completely screw things up for this great country and though you have succeeded in that, you have still failed to stop Brexit… Slow hand clap…
But fear not Brexiteers, it is not completely screwed up and once we leave the EU, providing it is not on the terms of May’s false deal, Britain will flourish once again and then we can all take great delight in ridiculing Remainers for years to come. The not so dumb Remainers will of course simply deny ever voting Reman and will no doubt take part in the ridiculing but the most prolific ones, the celebrities and MP’s like Anna Soubry will certainly be in for a lot of flak from so many and I have no doubts whatsoever that future historians will look back on these Brexit years in total bewilderment…
The Future is bright… the future is British…
As a footnote, I really should hold my hands up and admit I did get it wrong about May playing the smart game… I simply refused to accept that she really did not give a damn about this country or her own party but she has certainly proven that to be the case to me over the past few weeks. I actually feel sorry for those Tory candidates standing for election on May 2nd 2019 because the actions of the leader of the party they support has undoubtedly lessened their chances of success in those local elections. I am totally baffled as to how she is still Prime Minister and it is high time the backbenchers ousted her before she totally destroys their party!
As for the rest of our parliamentarians, quite a lot of them should simply hang their heads in shame and not even bother standing in the next General Election because they’ve done nothing to deserve peoples votes, all they have succeeded in doing is totally embarrassing this great country. One that used to be so highly respected, worldwide! They have insulted the intelligence of the British people and some like Yvette Cooper MP have totally gone against the wishes of their own constituents, deluding themselves that they know best, they so obviously do not and they have completely forgotten they were elected to represent the people! I sincerely hope people remember that when they go to the ballot boxes!
Once Brexit has happened and I assure you that it most certainly will, can we please just get on with getting Britain back to being a country that we call all be proud of?
