MOBILISE TO DEFEND BREXIT!
Jeremy Corbyn has endorsed a plot by left-wing supporters
to occupy the Palace of Westminster and “shut down the streets” to
protest Boris Johnson’s decision to temporarily suspend Parliament
ahead of the Brexit deadline.
Laura Parker, National Co-ordinator for the Momentum group
which acts as Mr Corbyn’s vanguard within the Labour Party, warned
that “thousands of us… will join an occupation of Parliament and block
the roads before we let Johnson close the doors on democracy,”
claiming that the Prime Minister was “stealing our democracy so he can
sell off our NHS to big US corporations in a no-deal, Trump first
Brexit.” If the video below is anything to go by, this gentle
middle-class coup will give us a few laughs.
President Donald Trump defended his decision to golf on the
Labor Day weekend, after the Mayor of increasingly crime-stricken Brit
capital London Sadiq Khan criticized the president.
“The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadique Kahn [sic], was
bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday,” Trump
wrote. “Many [politicians] exercise for hours, or travel for weeks.
Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive).” Khan's feud
with Trump is nothing more than small-man syndrome. Under his watch
London has become dangerous, especially for women. His time in office
has been a disaster for the people of London, and that is a fact!
The suicide rate has risen across the UK for the first time
in five years, with men still three times more likely than women to
take their own lives.
The country saw its first increase since 2013, with 6,507
suicides recorded in 2018 compared to the year before when 5,821
people took their own lives, a rise of 11.8 per cent. It is not just
the young who are experiencing increasing negativity about the state
of their existence, with a 2017 survey revealing that three-quarters
of older people feel lonely, prompting the British government to
appoint a so-called Minister for Loneliness to direct state-funded
programmes in an attempt to correct the care deficit in 21st-century
British society. This is the result of a society that deems
masculinity to be inherently "toxic", and that socially castrates its
men. They'll never admit that, of course.
A London Assembly member, Caroline Russell, was arrested at
an anti-Brexit protest today in London.
The Green Party has tweeted to say Ms Russell was defending
“hard-won rights”, they also retweeted a number of messages about the
arrests. In a statement, the Co-leader of the Green Party of England
and Wales, Sian Berry, said: “Earlier today, I was speaking at the
main rally of the Defend Our Democracy protest. The right to block
traffic is a hard-won right? Such an absurd statement could only be
made by a Green Party Politician!
The Royal Navy warship HMS Montrose has faced 115 confrontations
with Iranian forces in the Gulf since the start of July, according to
new figures just released.
The hostile watercraft have tried to “intimidate” the Type 23
frigate and sent aggressive radio messages as it sought to discharge
its duties escorting maritime trade through the disputed waters of the
Strait of Hormuz. And while the Royal Navy patrols far off seas, our
own channel is wide open as thousands illegally sail in, flouting our
laws. Maybe they are all doctors and engineers and they will work
wonders for our economy; that is what the left tells us, after all.
Somehow, I doubt the veracity of their claims!
Yours sincerely
Robin Tilbrook
