Cowardly Corbyn crawls into a hole
SORRY to hark back to it, but it is hard to avoid if the democratic parliament of a country you love, were raised to revere, tears itself to pieces and descends into chaos. The question just repeats itself: what the hell is happening? Let me try to explain.
Forty months ago we had a truly national referendum. The question was clear: regarding our membership of the European Union, stay or leave? There were weeks of debate. For the losers to say now “We didn’t know about No Deal” proves them liars. All shades of opinion raced to the polls.
Today’s complainers were utterly delighted; it would be a national decision to last for a generation at least and they would win it. Then to their stunned amazement, chagrin and finally blind anger, they lost. The clear majority of the British people – not duped, not fooled, not hoodwinked, voted “Leave”. It was not rigged and a few attempts to reverse the decision on that ground have been thrown out by the courts. Then, quietly, invisibly, something weird happened. Though in every single previous referendum the disappointed losers have accepted the people’s decision, this time a deliberate conspiracy was formed to reverse it – by hook or by crook. In rage and spite, that conspiracy is coming to fruition – and may be a success.
Three things we have to be quite clear on. The diehard Remainers are masquerading behind figleaves. Delaying Brexit is a lie. The aim is its destruction. Hence the expulsion of 21 Tory renegades who pretended they were only voting for delay. No tears please. Boris Johnson had made plain the days of pretend loyalty are over. They came out in their true colours and
fired themselves. Second, the concern about No Deal is a second pretence. The facts are very clear. This country cannot accept the 585page so-called Settlement brought back by Theresa May. It is one long capitulation. Over in Brussels, Michel Barnier has made repeatedly plain he will not change one dot, comma, hyphen or syllable of it. So we British either accept unconditional surrender – or walk.
Third, the hysterical panic over the so-called disaster that No Deal would mean for Britain is a totally confected myth. It is being propagated in a highly fanatical and hugely-funded scare campaign.
All mention of the alternative, the highly practical World Trading Organisation which, with preparation, we could switch to in a month, is being swept under the carpet and more than half the media are going along with this.
In this miasma of lies, cowardice and treachery Jeremy Corbyn now stands out. Thirty seven times he has called for a general election. Now he is offered one and crawls into a hole. But we, the voters, have to have one. There are good young people out there – different views but brave and loyal to Old Blighty. They would be a credit to the green benches, and to democracy.
They should have a chance to replace the rabble that now clings to salary and privilege while offering nothing back, lying as they pretend to favour democracy. And we should have the chance to send the liars to oblivion.
