Not sure these 2,000 assorted anti-democracy protesters can trump the 17.4 million Brits that actually voted to leave in the referendum?

Protesters who for 3 years have been trying to overturn a democratic decision made by our citizens, themselves carrying banners stating "defend democracy, surely you can see the irony in that. And mar

Have a look at their banners. They protest against Boris and Cummings shutting down parliament. Do you think it's ok that Boris shuts down parliament for so long at such a critical time? Wha

Remoaners, or more correctly, traitors of the worst kind. Utterly despicable.

Here again the accusation of those who support Remain being traitors.

 

Have a word with yourself.

There are many reasons I support Remain, and you are correct, much reading and keeping what I have read in my head plays a significant part in why I do support Remain.

So what is the M.P’s job?

Currently, observing the internal workings of Cummings' backside and saying whatever he tells him to and only what he tells him to say (the most important part).

It is not treasonous to exercise democratic rights or to peacefully express opposition to Government

policy.

 

I’m not sure at all on what basis you assert ‘the populace wishes’, the Nation is deeply divided on Brexit, the existence of that division is hard evidence of that support for Brexit is not universally ‘the populace will’, not by a very long way.

Oddly enough the same applies to the Remainers too.

 

I voted to Leave yet many Remainers accuse me and many other Leavers as stupid, uneducated, not knowing what I was voting for, irresponsible and many other epithets to numerous to mention. They say that when I have thought about it deeply and for long enough, I will come to my senses and become a Remainer.

 

Not a hope in hell will that ever happen to me.

 

For more than 3 years now I have watched Teresa May make a determined effort to thwart my wishes and that of over some 17 million voters and screw up the one thing she became PM to do, and that was Brexit and take the UK out of the EU. She of course was and still a remainer and despite all her promises she lied. There is no other word for it.

 

At the next GE I would like to see TM and Philip tossed unceremoniously out on their ear and not promoted to the HoL. 

 

This is the very definition of a straw man argument.

I am not discussing your feelings on Brexit. I'm not discussing how you feel slighted about those nasty Remainers talking down to you and calling you stupid and uneducated. That's obviously your own issues that you can handle however you want.

The topic in question is explained in the title of the news piece - Thousands protest British PM Johnson's move to suspend parliament. 

I am not arguing the validity of Brexit; I'm arguing why BoJo thinks it's ok to bypass our parliamentary democracy (you know, the one we've had going for centuries) to push through a no-deal Brexit. I'm also arguing how you Brexit fans who are so keen on democracy (you know, the referendum was binding - respect our democratic choice blah, blah) can now sit and defend him when he is literally undermining the very pillars of the UK's democracy. I get that you are frustrated. I get that you are losing patience. I get that you are unhappy with MP's and parliament, but that doesn't give anyone the right to steamroll over our parliamentary democracy in favour of what was an advisory referendum (please don't all start screaming about this; legally it was advisory no matter what Cameron said).

In your haste to get what you all want you are all literally throwing the baby out with the bath water and not even noticing there was a baby in there in the first place. 

If Brexit is to happen it cannot be at the cost of destroying our parliamentary democracy. That's MY point.

Hard Brexiteers only interest is no-deal. Everything else is dishonest fig-leaf.

Remainer disinformation is considerably larger and is appropriately known as Giant Rhubarb.

Looking at the pictures of the  'thousands' out and about vainly clinging to the hope of a second referendum demanding democracy, it's the dog days of the English summer which has been a rather pleasant one for a change. Thus they are out in their t-shirts and string tops and other summer finery while they can. The Brits don't need much of an excuse really.

 

Now If the weather was absolute rubbish as it typically is at this time of year, the blighters would be all at home, moaning about the weather and gurning for their elected stuffed shirts to just 'get on with it'.

Ah, childish baiting.

 

True, but we would like to hear some details of this German bird.

 

In my youth I had a 2 week romance with a German girl who was holidaying on the I-O-W. Twice my size, built like the Bizmark but very attractive, blonde and all that, and a complete nympho. I just couldn't keep up with her. OK, now I've kissed and told, it's your turn.

You have the lovely Gina Millar, we have the smart and intelligent Dominic Cummings, I reckon we got the best of the deal.

I know which one I'd rather spend an evening with and it ain't the bald midget. Sorry, no swaps.

Sometimes it needs to be repeated as MPs and Remainers tend to ignore people like this guy or just dismiss him out of hand.
