Remain hypocrisy has gone ballistic!
What happened to sweet Harry?
FINALLY, we got to properly see baby Archie’s beautiful face. Not here in Britain obviously but little Bubba, as Meghan calls him, was unmasked in South Africa where the couple are on a royal tour.
And it was all going pretty well until Harry started banging on about climate change and how he can’t get out of bed in the morning because he’s so worried about the state of the world.
Oh, do put a sock in it, Harry! First, if he’s so worried about the world, he needs to stop taking private planes. Second, all his whingeing and moaning about the planet doesn’t sit well on him because it’s hard to shake the feeling he doesn’t really understand what he’s saying but is just being Meghan’s (not very good) mouthpiece.
Harry really needs to knock all the worthy, woke stuff on the head and just be the lovely, sweet bloke who used to go round the world charming people. Because that IS his job. THIS year’s must-have Christmas toy is Scruff-a-Luvs My Real Rescue. Apparently it’s a “ball of fluff that’s a sad, abandoned pet and requires special human connection and a sprinkle of love”. Don’t we all… I’M VERY happy that Princess Beatrice is finally in love and engaged to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the handsome son of an Italian count who told her on Instagram this week: “You will never be alone – my love, my heart is your home.”
OK, he’s clearly besotted, Bea, but a word of advice – don’t ever wear a hat around him!
THIS WEEK I’ve been called a fascist, a Nazi, a bigot, a moron, an agitator and an ignorant old slapper. There was much more, but it’s too vile to share. Most of it came from Remainer trolls on social media because on a TV show I dared to say the Supreme Court’s decision that found Boris had unlawfully prorogued Parliament was wrong. I said it felt like a political decision, not a legal one, and I didn’t think it was right that the judiciary should interfere in parliamentary business.
And BOOM, a torrent of hate spewed forth because apparently my language was “dangerous and inflammatory” – this from hypocrites who’d used the most vile, threatening, dangerous language imaginable to abuse me. And as I was contemplating that irony I turned on the TV to see the twisted, spitting, hate-filled faces of our MPs screaming abuse at each other in the bear pit that is now the House of Commons.
Labour MP Paula Sherriff, who that day “liked” a tweet calling Tories fascists, invoked Jo Cox’s murder to berate Boris for using inflammatory words like betrayal (despite 17.4 million feeling betrayed) and Surrender Act when referring to the Brexit delay act. Call me stupid (as many have this week) but why is it inflammatory when it refers to Britain surrendering control to the EU?
Boris then made a terrible situation worse by calling what Sherriff had said humbug. Clearly he didn’t call Jo’s murder humbug but scoffed at the notion that words such as surrender and betrayal are responsible for MP’s death threats. But the Left twisted his words and disgracefully claimed he had. Either way he shouldn’t have said it.
But the Opposition can’t blame Boris for inflammatory language that is now the norm. Not when they’ve called him a Nazi, a racist and a dictator. Not when David Lammy says Brexiteers are worse than Nazis and John McDonnell spoke of lynching Tory minister Esther McVey and says he wished he’d assassinated Thatcher. Not when the Lib Dems’ Ed Davey calls for Boris to be decapitated and Jo Swinson lets her acolytes parade in Bollocks to Brexit T-shirts. Because compared with that filthy stuff surrender and betrayal sound tame.
It’s shameful for any MP to bring Jo’s name into the Brexit debate to score political points, especially when her husband Brendan has asked them not to. But our political classes have become deranged and lost all perspective.And people are despairing because it’s clear their votes no longer count and are in the hands of self-interested zealots pursuing their own agenda.
This parliament is now toxic and useless and the reason there’s mounting anger is because it’s jampacked with hypocrites who promised to honour the referendum result and have spent the last three years busting a gut to trash it.
AND WHILE there’s abuse and anger on both sides – none of which justifies death threats – I feel as a Leaver that Remainers think they’re perfectly justified in calling us thick bigots, extremists and fascists but if Leave MPs dare to call them traitors for working flat out to quash this country’s biggest ever democratic vote then that’s inflammatory talk that could cost lives.
It’s clear Remainers and the political elite don’t just want to stop Brexit, they want to silence and discredit anyone who backs it – as I discovered. But just as I won’t be bullied into silence, neither will the British people. Huge swathes saw the referendum as a chance for their voices to be heard and they won’t be silenced by the concocted hysteria of the Opposition.
