Oh, and Mr Johnson hasn't come to power using dubious illegal methods, hasn't tried to destroy an entire race and hasn't started a world war.
Give him time, he's only been PM for a couple of weeks. And given the British record for genocide and starting world wars, I'm sure he'll get to it directly.

In their heart of hearts, the Brits believe that Brexit will cut the Europeans off from civilization and humiliate them, or worse.

So shutting down Parliament in order to honour the democratic will of the people and stop anti-democratic Remainers from overturning it is bad, is it?
The f&cking hypocrisy of the Remainers is breathtaking here. They've spent months using all sorts of devious and undemocratic tricks to try and overturn a democratic decision and now here they are getting in a rage because Johnson is proroguing Parliament in order to deliver Brexit.
What's worse: using dirty tricks to overturn democracy or using dirty tricks to honour it?
A Prime Minister who has only become Prime Minister because a handful of people in his own party chose him and who has no mandate from the British voters, has just told the dynastic monarch to shut down the one democratic body that is answerable to the British voters, lest there be any objections to his dictates.

No democracy to be found there.

Yes that's why trump is in prison for russian collusion, after not being elected, then being impeached years ago so hitlary could take over, and that's also why epstien is still a weener Mr Buck.

I wonder who it was that told the UK Government to not do anything for the next 4 years, the Queen or the EU Bankers?

Nonsense. He just asked Her Maj to remind them them that Britain is not, in point of fact, a democracy, representative or otherwise.

Her Maj kindly agreed.

Nothing says "democracy" like an hereditary monarch dismissing the elected parliament.

Protesters accuse British prime minister of essentially staging a coup

The proroguing of Parliament happens every year in the UK. It's a normal course of events that has been happening for a thousand years, dating back to the Witan parliaments of the Anglo-Saxons.

In fact, Boris is merely ending the longest sitting of Parliament for 400 years. Each year for the last 400 years it has been prorogued way before now.

The only reason there is outrage over Boris doing, whereas normally nobody notices or cares when it happens, is because the Remainers think they can't now overturn democracy. We all that is the reason, and we all know Boris is doing it to DEFEND democracy.

And it was the Remainers themselves who were until now thinking of proroguing Parliament, and now here the anti-democratic Remainers are getting in a tizzy because Boris is doing it.

LIDDLE Parliament is working AGAINST the people so Boris Johnson is right to wave about the threat of proroguing

COMMENT
Rod Liddle

The Sun

THE Prime Minister is about to suspend Parliament to slash the chances of MPs stopping us leaving the European Union by October 31. By now, it’s probably the only way out of this impasse.

Parliament is heavily in favour of us remaining within the EU and NEVER leaving. And MPs have spent the past three years doing everything they possibly can to thwart the democratic will of the people.

As expressed in that referendum we had. You know, you remember the one. June 23, 2016.

Incredibly, the Opposition parties are denouncing Boris Johnson as “undemocratic” for this course of action.

God help us — if you ever wanted a definition of hypocrisy this is it. These are the MPs who have tried every trick in the book to keep us in the EU. They don’t give a damn what the public wants. And they call BoJo undemocratic! Bizarre.

They were all gathered together to make their fatuous Church House declaration. Insisting they will set up an alternative parliament if Boris prorogues parliament.

Fine, do it. Someone rent them a village hall somewhere in Rotherham. They can sit in it and bicker and make pompous pronouncements while we get on with our lives. And the Government gets on with delivering Brexit.

They’ve certainly made it harder for Boris to negotiate with Brussels by their selfish — and I say it again — undemocratic actions. But in the end they won’t matter.

Anyway, this barrel of jabbering monkeys can’t even agree with each other about anything. Magic Grandpa — Jeremy Corbyn — wasn’t there. We were told he had lots of meetings. Yeah, right. I didn’t know Hamas or the Cubans were in town.

But Labour wants Corbyn to be a caretaker Prime Minister after a vote of no confidence. Trouble for Grandpa is, nobody else does. The Lib Dems, led by Jo Swinson, want someone like Ken Clarke or Harriet Harman to be temporary Prime Minister. Two steadfast remainers — don’t forget, it’s not “No Deal” these people are against, it’s leaving full stop. Shoving a remainer such as Clarke in as Prime Minister would be, effectively, a coup.

The ludicrous Plaid Cymru will only back Labour’s plan if they promise to keep us in the EU. That’s against the wishes of the voters of . . . Wales.

The Greens wanted an alternative government comprised solely of women, because their mystical healing powers will be able to resolve the crisis. But no black people found a place in this government of theirs. It is becoming more and more evident that the Greens are loopy.

AGAINST THE PEOPLE

Boris Johnson is right to go on negotiating with the EU. He is also right to have taken a tough line with them. That’s what we should have done on Day One, June 24, 2016.

And he will be held to his word to deliver a full and proper exit from the EU by October 31 by Nigel Farage and his merry band in the Brexit Party.

Failure to do so will result in an annihilation of the Tory Party at a General Election.

What this all tells us is that Parliament no longer represents the people. It hasn’t done for a long while. But now at least it is clear. Parliament is working AGAINST the people. And it has been doing so undisguisedly for three years.

That’s why Boris is right to wave about the threat of proroguing Parliament. Leave John McDonnell, Swinson, Noggin The Nog and the rest of them to convene their traitors’ parliament.

With any luck, it won’t make an iota of difference. And then, at the next election, vote them all out.

All the Labour and Plaid MPs who represent leaver constituencies but don’t even pretend to honour their views. Get shot.

Nasty Guy

THE liberal Belgian politician Guy Verhofstadt is a strange-looking bloke.

Bit of a wrong ’un, in my book. If you saw him lurking outside a school you’d probably ring the Old Bill.

He’s also a nasty piece of work. When we voted to leave the European Union, this a***hole said: “Britain has shot itself in the foot. We intend to shoot you in the other one.”

So right away we should have known where we stood. Now Verhofstadt is whining about Boris Johnson’s intention not to pay the £39billion we supposedly owe the EU if we leave with no deal.

“Britain is better than that,” he said, pompously. Stuff it, Verhofstadt. There is a good case for saying we don’t owe a single penny to the EU.

And threaten us with no trade deal all you like – let’s see how the big European companies who send their exports to the UK like that idea.

Your days are numbered, Guy.

Count them.

Rod Liddle sure sounds like the crazy ass hat in the White House. "The political opposition are the enemies of the nation and they should be muzzled."
