FAR RIGHT A DANGER
TO foist a third and possibly fourth vote on 650 MPs while denying 47million people a second referendum is grotesque hypocrisy from a Prime Minister for the few not the many.
Time is running out for incompetent Theresa May and with Parliament paralysed, Brexit isn’t happening a week on Friday.
Yet I’ll be honest and admit I don’t know what happens after that or even later this week when unpredictable events shape the country’s destiny for decades to come.
Nobody does – including May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, as well as our neighbours.
The stumbling PM and Tory hardline Brextremists/DUP reactionaries have gifted the EU unprecedented momentary power over Britain.
We could be in Europe for another three months or two years.
We might stay for ever
FIGURE of the Day: £100billion. The value of 87,000 homes in England and Wales owned by anonymous companies registered in tax havens. What are they hiding? or be POLICE warning that far-right terrorists pose a greater threat than jihadis in parts of Britain is a wake up call after the New Zealand massacre.
Cabinet Office analysis is frighteningly grounded when Neo-Nazi Thomas Mair assassinated Labour MP Jo
Cox and radicalised Darren Osborne murdered elderly Makram Ali outside London’s Finsbury Park mosque.
Killer Osborne, admired by Christchurch’s white supremacist terror suspect Brenton Tarrant, studied the poisonous ravings of frequently jailed far-right extremist criminal yob Stephen Yaxley-Lennon who uses a “Tommy Robinson” football hooligan alias. Tory politicians kamikazes crashing out without a deal. May is hoping sufficient revolting Tories, DUP fundamentalists and Labour faint-hearts swallow their pride and principles to finally endorse her twice-rejected plan tomorrow.
Irrelevance and insularity for a poorer and weaker Britain, and other workers’ jobs, are a price these charlatans are shamefully prepared to pay for an easier life.
My preference is for a People’s Vote and sections of the media can’t escape accusations of crocodile tears when inflammatory attacks on Muslims fuel far-right prejudice.
Boris Johnson’s “bank robber”sneering at women in burkas or Zac Goldsmith’s unforgivable “terrorists are its friends” slur against Labour after Sadiq Khan became London Mayor contribute to one-in-three people, and half of Tories and EU Leavers, thinking Islam is a threat to the British way of life.
Unless we stand united in Britain, the Islamophobes, white supremacists and Neo-Nazis are likely to kill again here. Far-right terrorists and jihadis are a deadly twin threat. MASSACRE Brenton Tarrant to let us, the electorate, be judge and jury on the real choice after the lies of three years ago under a previous Prime Minister in an earlier Parliament. Democracy is the answer to Westminster’s deadlock but Brextremists justifiably suspect the £350million-a-week question in 2019 would result in a decision to remain in Europe. Corbyn is supporting a another referendum – though keeping open the door to vote leave – as proposed by Labour MPs Phil Wilson and Peter Kyle.
But the signs are the House of Commons doesn’t want a second poll. So Groundhog May is sticking to her mulish game of Brexit blackmail. National interest is buried by the self-interest of an enfeebled Tory leader determined it is her way or no way. When history is written, it will be harsh on May.
But blame won’t be hers alone Britain blunders into Brexit.
THERESA May
» boasting mine safety “has improved greatly” since the explosion 40 years ago that killed 10 pitmen at Golborne colliery, near Wigan, overlooked a salient fact. Nobody could die today because the Tories shut all the pits, Thatcher closing Golborne in 1989. Ban flying and there’d be no more plane crashes.
PRIVATE contractor Interserve
» teetering so soon after Carillion’s collapse triggered persuasive calls from unions Unite, Unison and GMB for public services to be delivered publicly. Nationalising £2.1billion of deals, protecting 45,000 jobs and ensuring schools and hospitals are cleaned and built is a no-brainer. It’s also why Tories ideologically obsessed with private profits won’t do it. if
