Another day – Day 1002 – in the Brexit psychodrama and
more turmoil. There are deep suspicions that the latest move – ExtensionGate –
is intended to precipitate a destabilised Parliament into forcing a general
election, or a form of coup. Deep conspiracy indeed, yet given the open
hostility towards any notion of independence, not so far-fetched as to be disregarded
altogether. In the background you can almost hear the collective groan of
Leavers as they see what is a clear ploy to deny their celebration.
Then there’s the petition to revoke Article 50. Remainers
were thumping the air yesterday as it rapidly passed the two million signatures
mark, while some prominent leavers insisted it was being infiltrated by foreign
powers, Russian bots or the simplicity of casting multiple votes by the use of
different email addresses. But of course there is a far simpler explanation and
it is possibly at the heart of why Brexit has been the ugly and embarrassing spectacle
it has.
Remainers are happy in the right sort of company. Among them are the kind
of people who rejoice in the type of ‘diversity’ that brings misery to the communities
on which it is thrust. I can’t be only one to have noticed that pretty much every
day now the BBC and others broadcast the islamic call to prayer as a preface to
any news stories about any islamic issue. We are becoming habituated to hearing ‘Allah’s snack bar’ no longer as
prelude to slaughter but as a plea for peace and understanding. New Zealand is
suddenly looking like Iran, forty years ago this year, during the Ayatollah’s Terror.
The media, politics, the organs of state are flush with
the kind of bien pensant goodies who
love a bit of politically acceptable acquiescence to the demands of cultures
different from our own. It makes them good people and they love being part of the herd,with all the other good people. No wonder they were so shocked in June 2016. In their world
nobody would even dream of leaving an even bigger club of even lovelier people with
only kindness in their heart. Why, only deviants could be averse to sharing the
joy.
So, when it comes to protesting ‘austerity’, NHS funding,
climate change and Brexit, there is a ready network of the very best of people
who will come together and the call to gather will spread far and wide across
social and mainstream media, whose lever-pullers are a part of the same group.
Stick up an opinion poll in the Guardian, the [not] Independent, Buzzfeed,
Facebook, Twitter et al and of course it returns the ‘right’ result. The result
they knew it would – you gorgeous, wonderful, lovely, kind, caring saints.
But where are the voices of dissent? They have been
largely silenced; from Gordon Brown’s ‘bigoted woman’ to those who agree with
everything Nigel Farage says, the message from the media, from the government
and more recently from the police and judiciary, is that your opinion is
verboten, practically a crime. As a result you don’t possess an acceptable group identity, which
means when you look around for support you see bowed heads, mumbling quietly,
mostly to themselves. No wonder the referendum was such a shock to the system.
The will to leave is there. The numbers are not only
still there, but I suspect, growing. Many who wanted to leave probably didn’t
vote because the media told them that remain would win. If we did have a second
(actually third) referendum there is a chance the leave majority would
increase; it’s a risk remainers really don’t want to take. But Parliament hasn’t
had the balls to do what their electors want them to do, so the EU has stepped
in to tell them how to proceed with remaining – get rid of May and put up a
puppet.
But it won’t solve any problems. Brussels unveiled has a
far uglier face than its worshippers imagined and Brexit averted would be a
victory for the globalists, so the opposition will not simply fade. The Champagne
– or, rather, the English sparkling wine – may stay on ice for another few
weeks, months... or even years, but the fight for Brexit will continue.
So depressingly true. I admire your optimism and do feel that eventually the Orwellian EU will fall. When and what cost however is likely to be horrific.
ReplyDeleteI'd be very happy to see a civil war on British soil, if that's what it takes, followed by European war we can be a spectator of.
DeleteMay is a terrible negotiator. If she was selling her car and I agreed to buy it, providing she continued to pay the road tax, insurance, servicing and repair costs, she'd probably go along with it. In fact, she has, only the car is British Sovereignty.
