With a putative Prime Minister ready to push the parliamentary /constitutional button on  "Leave " and hordes of his own Tory party MPs ready to help Labour et al push the no-confidence button on him; the interminable " Mexican stand-off" on Brexit continues.

Herewith my original blog posted on July 18 2018 ( fahrenheit451:270 ) at a time when the current on -going Mexican Stand-off was just getting under way.

Rats in a sack.

Brexit might have already been consigned to constitutional oblivion by the metropolitan domiciled globalist ruling elites,but at least their paid-for political actors class are still managing to tear each other to shreds in what is supposed to be a staged re-enactment but is quite entertainingly going terribly wrong.
The under-rehearsed participants are actually believing themselves to be in a real world authentic constitutional political struggle,which of course from the audience /spectators’ point of view they are not,only seeming to be so for the sake of parliamentary verisimilitude.
A series of keenly contested highly disputatious votes was summarised by BBC ONline as:-

WHAT THE MPS VOTED ON

The amendments were “broadly in line” with government policy, which is why the government accepted them.
By 305 votes to 302 – with 14 Tories rebelling – MPs backed an amendment that prevents the UK from collecting taxes on behalf of the EU, unless the rest of the EU does the same for the UK.
Applying EU tariffs to products destined for the EU is part of Mrs May’s plan to avoid friction at UK borders after Brexit.
Another amendment, to ensure the UK is out of the EU’s VAT regime, was backed by 303 to 300, with a Tory rebellion of 11.
Three Labour MPs voted with the government.
The government won several other votes more comfortably, and the entire bill was then approved by the House of Commons by 318 to 285.

The Conservative/Labour duopoly itself, as entrenched defenders of the archaic FPTP which keeps them eternally as the two major parties,seems to be have been cast into existential doubt during the course of the parliamentary imbroglio of recent days. Leading Conservatives such as Dominic Grieve and Anna Soubry supported by leading Labour EU shills,openly advocate a government of national unity to replace the present ailing May minority regime.

Suffice it to say ” Schadenfreude ” ;at least for now.

Footnote:
And we now know what became of Anna Soubry and her fellow dissidents in the Tory and Labour parties and their abortive non-realignment of British party politics.

Here we go, again! Or almost. An emergency Commons debate on the topic of , however you wish to describe it, Aleppo. Called by the Tory MP Andrew Mitchell, the debate attracted the attendance of 70 MPs.  And as usual the cries of something needs to be done, has to be done resounded to the echo. Deja Vu has seldom been so much in evidence in the Commons.They debated Aleppo fairly recently and the same faux-concerns of our metropolitan-domiciled political class were thoroughly rehearsed for the cameras. An odd symmetry of Tories clinging onto the last vestiges of a grasp of global Realpolitik on the one hand waylayed by the strident / bellicose utterances of born-again Blairites whose lack of practical military /logistics knowledge was woefully in evidence. Clowns in Chief Johnson and Osborne did some desultory limp moral shroud waving by asserting that had parliament in 2013 opted for a military intervention of some kind or another at that time, Aleppo would not now be an issue. Don't ask; it wasn't supposed to make any sense whatsoever even at the time. Unless, of course the real intent behind all and any calls for any intervention in the Syrian Civil War is to goad Russia into a premature globalised conflict aka WW3. Surely not?

Louis Kasatkin @louiskasatkin Dec 13Indeed something needs to be done! now! but in relation to what and where,then there's the how.Let's make a list of issues "Andrew Mitchell"

The 48% ( for ease of reference ), that voted Remain on June 23rd. in the EU Referendum,have actively propagated the idea that those of the 52% who voted Leave are largely stupid,ignorant,uneducated,provincial ( almost exclusively Northern ) homophobic, islamophobic, racist, xenophobes. I'm only too happy to be identified as embodying all of those traits if, in the interests of balance and fairness, the 200 MPs of #LabourIn and their Remain Axis partners are equally happy to be pilloried for being the mendacious,antidemocratic,pro-sodomite,unborn child murdering,seditionist garbage that they in fact are. Which all in all doesn't get any of us anywhere. Then again it is the calculated intention of the #LabourIn Eurozealots to systematically de-legitimise, undermine and eventually overturn the verdict given by the Electorate on 23 June.  The Referendum was conducted at the behest of Parliament as a UK wide vote.The UK is a single,united political entity. No-one has ever argued that, for instance the losing parties in a UK General election call for the Secession of those constituencies which voted for them or that the consequences of the other party gaining a majority are to be ignored in all matters pertaining to their own constituencies or that even the result itself wasn't legitimate and therefore another corrective general Election had to be called immediately. And yet this is precisely what the " 48% " antidemocratic rabble have done and are continuing to do at every opportunity on every conceivable issue. The fantastically deluded SNP -led regional administration in Edinburgh has gone all out secessionist and has even tried and serially failed to engage with sovereign EU states in intergovernmental negotitations and have themselves sought for international diplomatic recognition. That is the measure thus far of their utter imbecility and hubris. In a former,kinder Age,the Sedition Act 1661 would have been antedote enough for such lamentable clowns. Then there's Northern Ireland and the antics of the former Kneecappers& Granny Shooters Association aka the Provos aka Sinn Gay Rights&Abortion Feinn. What the turf cutters and the marsbar friers have in common is that,yes as a geographical segment of the UK Polity as a whole, Scotland and Northern Ireland did record a localised pro-Remain majority. As did that other metastasising quasi-regional faux-entity Greater London. :-

24 Jun 2016 - Most London boroughs voted to remain in the EU - bucking the national trend. Across all 33 boroughs in the capital, 59.9% (2.26 million) voted in favour of remaining in the EU. ... Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Sutton, Havering and Hillingdon were the only areas to support Brexit.

To be precise.

Heck,they even staged a " London is Open " conference the other day just to let the EU-sympathising 48% Remain world know that mass islamophobic xenophobia hadn't shut London down. Run by the seditionist #LabourIn  Daesh apologist Mayor Sadiq Khan, the metropolitan Wannsee conference on how to eliminate the Brexit problem,had lots of academicians and metropolitan domiciled bien pensants reinventing the Queen's English to mean the opposite of what they thought and meant. Especially on the EU's fundamental principle of neoliberal freedom of movement for workers.  Here's one such classic caught on twitter on the day.

Need to be sensitive about language and discourse - integration loaded and need to be clear on social meaning& interpretation.

This is not going to end well at all, least of all for them.

A Presidential election is held in line with the nation's Constitution and a verdict is delivered by the Electorate in accordance with the provisions of electoral rules. So, what do " activists ", ideological agitators and hostile media commentators ( all who supported the losing candidate ) do in response ? Organise street protests that escalate into full blown rioting. Oh, and this from the likes of Daily Kos on social media :-

" Donald Trump has won the presidency after narrowly carrying a few states to put him above 270 electoral votes.

But according to the latest numbers, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. The game is rigged.

In other words, we have a similar situation as in 2000—where the candidate who more voters picked did not become president. It is unfair, undemocratic & we must eliminate the Electoral College.

Eliminating the Electoral College does not even require a constitutional amendment."

Undermine, subvert and seek to overthrow those processes and procedures that have heretofore been universally accepted as legitimate. Isn't that fascist? Aren't those carrying out all of this fascists?

The similarities between the events across many cities in the USA and the reactions in the UK to the EU Referendum verdict in favour of #Brexit are all too striking. Violent rioting aside for the moment, the political intent behind seeking to de-legitimise the Electorate's verdict on both sides of the Atlantic spring from the same intolerant,totalitarian ideological mindset. The stench of antidemocratic sedition is apparent for all to smell.

I launched this missive earlier today posting it to the Wakefield Express.It concerns the local Labour MP, Mary Creagh one of the 200 seditionist #LabourIn MPs,who is particularly woefully out of touch with her constituents,and a 2015 failed Labour leadership contender who couldn't get enough endorsements to get on the ballot,unlike J.Corbyn who eventually did.

Wakefield Editorial

Today at 10:50

Sir- You  might find this to be of local interest given the Express' Politically speaking column.I'm sure the Wakey electorate - with whom our MP has been shown to be wildly out of step and at odds with-would like to read a coherent and plausible explanation for this.

Yours sincerely,

Louis Kasatkin

This decision to appoint a crook to the Justice committee is one of parliament’s most shameful acts in recent years – and the Tories are the ones responsible…

Tory Whips Saved Vaz - Guido Fawkes

Tory Whips Saved Vaz - Guido Fawkes When 203 MPs voted for Keith Vaz to join the Justice select committee last night, everyone assumed Labour MPs ha...

On September 6,2016 the Labour supporting Mirror newspaper reported :-

Keith Vaz has resigned as chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee.

It comes after the Sunday Mirror revealed he had paid for sex with escorts in a flat he owns near his family home in London.

As chairman of the powerful Commons panel, Mr Vaz has publicly said he was “not convinced” that men who pay for sex should face prosecution.

But within weeks of a report from his committee, he himself paid money to escorts in a flat he owns near his family home in Edgware, North West London..

Clearly there is nothing further to be gained by expressing displeasure at the wantonly hubristic behaviour of the benchwarming rabble whose only response is to continually thumb their snouts up at the rest of us.
