And right on cue, a district judge has ruled Boris has to go to court to face a charge of "misconduct in public office" over the 350 million a week on the bus. What impeccable timing. The establishment really are pulling out the stops, you have to hand it to them.
Yes. Political interference from judges; an executive, legislature and civil service determined to defy the public's democratic choice and a supine state broadcaster slavishly broadcasting naked propaganda to support them.
Presumably this is the benign centre we should be trying to support?
Agree 100%.
It also worries me Tory MPs talking of a pact with Farrage. There have been times before when the normal centre-right party thought they could use a right-wing populist by getting him into power in the belief that they could control him once in office. Didn't always work out that well.
If the Tory party simply becomes the party of hard-Brexit English nationalism with a fück business* attitude then it will die long term. The age at which one is more likely to vote Tory has already risen from 47 to 51. The young will never forgive a hard Brexit. The party could be toast.
If my lads had a sensible, centre-left leader we'd be cleaning up. As it stands, we risk destroying an economy and turning the country into a gulag.
We're fücked.
*And this is how screwed we are. We have a lefty like me worried that neither of the major parties are sufficiently pro-business.
The trouble is of course that many political leaders "blatantly lied to the public" to influence that referendum. George Osborne promised a punishment budget. David Cameron promised to stay whatever the result. Blimey, HM Government sent a glossy propaganda booklet through everyone's door (which we all paid for) promising to honour the result of the referendum. Should they all be prosecuted? If not, why just Bozza?
