Had the Conservatives in their 2015 GE manifesto promised to hold,if returned to office, an advisory only referendum on UK membership of the EU -history really would have turned out ...portentous crescendo of music... a bit different,but not much.

They chose,instead with full cross party parliamentary agreement to make the result of the Referendum binding.The itinerant Westminster careerist benchwarmers believed,even as they promulgated this measure, that the 23 June 2016 EU Referendum would come out in favour of Remain.The entirety of the metropolitan domiciled ruling elites ,the entire Oxbridge / Public School alumni that constitutes the MSM Commentariat - all knew for certain that the Electorate when asked to approve of the UK remaining  a servile satrapy of the EU,would give their supine consent at the ballot box,no problem.

Except of course, that they didn't. The majority of the Electorate chose instead to exercise their too often muted sovereign will by asking to be set free from the yoke of EU bondage and for the release of Great Britain from the serfdom of the 4th.German Reich.

And for the next two years,the metropolitan elites unleashed a continuous propaganda barrage of unmitigated class-hatred savagery toward ordinary working class people and all those who expressed even a modicum of traditional amiable, patriotism and had,in the elites' view made a mistake in voting Leave.

The Religious Reformation of the mid -16th .Century and then the Parliamentary v. Monarchical Absolutism engendered Civil War of the 1630s and 40s are probably the nearest comparable historical episodes to the present interminable constitutional imbroglio that has consumed almost the entirety of the UK polity in dissension,factionalism,mutual antipathy and unreason.

The Remain campaign has proven to be the more determined of the two.It has used the bigger lies,the greater misinformation and the more vituperative slanderous mis-characterisation of their opponents in the Leave side than has been the case vice versa.

Ultimately The Reformation ended up,in hindsight as a dog-eared,pretty much heavily adulterated theological compromise that fell far too short of being genuinely Protestant as envisaged by either Luther or Calvin and which would have made for a far better and purer modernity and Society. Equally the English Civil War period delivered far less than had  been aspired to by so many.Annual parliaments,universal male suffrage etc. Though many substantial reforms did actually occur,the monarchy was back by 1660.

And so we come to it...more portentous music....on June 12. Though he prattles on in his usual peremptory condescending Blairite metropolitan elitist manner -as if June 23 had never happened, leading EU shill Labour MP and Remainer Chuka Umunna ,said: "It is absolutely outrageous for the government to allocate just one day to a debate that promises to be crucial for the future of our country."

"This is a shameful attempt by the government to avoid difficult questions about the chaotic mess they've made of the Brexit negotiations."

And perhaps he's got a valid point.

The rest including the latest egregious faux-pas from Boris Johnson is simply theatre,another act in a pantomime slowly unwinding from the fabric or the reality of our everyday lives and concerns.

The People shall not forget this treasonable betrayal of their Sovereign will,neither shall they forgive those who carried out that betrayal.

Bring on the Schadenfreude,it's time.

Alzheimer's is a truly terrifying disease.

Its most egregious manifestation is in the manner it destroys a person's ability and capacity to remember. Paradoxically the disease wipes out memories of who a person talking to them is and the events of the previous day for example; but you might be able to recall perfectly an incident or event from decades ago as if it were current.

I only share this about Alzheimer's in order to get a handle on the not entirely dissimilar inability of the Labour Party to recall what earth shattering democratic event occurred on June 23 2016.

Though leading seditionist Labour antidemocratic hellions such as Starmer,Umunna,Corbett, Lammy,Creagh etc. all fail to recognise and acknowledge as equals those who they routinely verbally abuse when disparaging the 17.4 million fellow UK citizens who as the majority,voted for #brexit.

Gleaned from Guido Fawkes online ,

" Keir Starmer says the UK should leave open the option of staying in the single market and customs union. 18 months have passed since we voted to Leave and still Labour haven’t progressed from here. Labour’s position means continuing freedom of movement."   They conclude their snippet with the rather droll observation that-  " It is not Brexit"

The aforementioned quotation was uttered and recorded on December 5 2017. Perhaps in Keir Starmer's idiolect his painfully Humpty-Dumpty style usage of otiose terms such single-market,customs union,freedom of movement have some special nostalgic significance attached to the chimera of a world that ceased to exist for him on June 23 2016.

It's either that or he's just one of  many thoroughly malevolent,cynically manipulative,disingenuous metropolitan elitist demagogues who wish to ensure that the peoples of the UK never ever enjoy sovereign independence again.

Remoaner metropolitan elitists are nothing if not brazen and calculating beyond the bounds of cyncism.

Their latest wheeze is to announce as loudly and screechingly as possible from within the confines of their own straitjackets, the egregiously moronic supposition that Article 50 can be reversed and or withdrawn.

For the excessively pig ignorant and monumentally indifferent , this snippet gleaned from The Daily Telegraph:-

Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon gives any EU member the right to quit unilaterally, and outlines the procedure for doing so. It gives the leaving country two years to negotiate an exit deal and once it's set in motion it can't be stopped except by unanimous consent of all member states.

The putative auteur of this Bonapartist shyster-speak sits in the British House of Lords and goes under the moniker Lord Kerr.

(Wayne) Kerr's forthright criticism of the ailing May regime's pronouncements on EU withdrawal, as being lies certainly lit up an otherwise dull morning across the vast echo chamber of MSM and social media.

For all their many faults and failings, the minority Tory regime has not uttered any falsehoods regarding the implementation of Article 50.

What the harbinger of this latest twisted Remoaner psychodrama is actually saying is that the government of the United Kingdom must declare the EU Referendum held on June 23 2016,null and void.That's how you terminate the Article 50 proceedings.

Prominent Remain OCD sufferers,such as Chuka Umunna ,Keir Starmer and Mary Creagh will be getting themselves so excited they'll end up doing what they've been doing on the Voters in their constituencies except this time only their beds will be getting wet and someone'll have to fetch the Nurse.

I'm writing this blog post on May 16, that's 23 days shy of General Election Day here in the UK. And that is an awful lot of Mainstream Media ( MSM ) filler. The contrived controversies over minor variations in otiose and largely ephemeral policy differences between the respective contending major parties will, as is usual pass for what is and has been for generations now, political discourse. A phony significance is accorded to the ritualistic mummery of their manifesto launches. As if no-one could've possibly intuitively guessed at just what pretentious and unattainable gob-shitery would emerge from the various ideological orifices or how badly it would all just smell. I take a certain comfort from imagining just how much more febrile the atmosphere must have been like here in England during the Reformation or the Civil War. We could sure use some of that visceral,no holds barred genuinely contentious battle of ideas and clash of ideologies right now. Perhaps we have to make do with the lingering temper tantrums and threats to eject the few remaining toys from the Remoaner prams of the #brexit debate. Boring.

When the fire alarm goes off and you know that there isn't a fire it sets your expectations for the next time.And then the fire alarm goes off and there still isn't a fire. It's a faulty alarm system that no one responsible for its maintenance can be arsed to look at and try and correct whatever is wrong with it.And the fire alarm goes off..It's exasperating.  Chuka Umunna, whom some of the corporate MSM Commentariat reckon is a putative future leader of the Labour party is the faulty fire alarm. When the rest of the people of Great Britain woke up to the EU Referendum verdict on June 24 2016, 200+ Labour MPs with Umunna to the fore weren't best pleased. He and his fellow seditionist EU shills had recklessly wagered all their pathetic little Westminster political careers on the British people choosing to remain eternally servile to the EU and they had lost that wager. Nearly one year on and the Remain Campaign aka Remoaners are still in the midst of their mean little temper tantrum.This is infantile foot stomping on an epic scale.  BBC Radio 4's morning flagship news program this Saturday 13 May had Umunna sound his shrill fire alarm yet again. Umunna and 15 other truly metropolitan elitist seditionist EU shills seeking election as Labour MPs in 16 Greater London constituencies have openly castigated their own party leadership's agreed election manifesto stance on the #brexit negotiations!! Clearly repudiating every single statement they'd previously made as to their acceptance of the British People's verdict on leaving the EU is going some even for cynical  24/7 mendacious hypocrites such as Umunna & His Gang.

Should such matters have needed any further clarification,then matters have indeed been clarified. Stop Labour save #brexit.

Not that 200+ EU seditionist shills masquerading as #Labour MPs are anything new under the sun.

Book of Isaiah Ch.59 v.3-4

3...your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

4None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

AMEN.
