'Hundreds of protesters have descended on Downing Street to "defy Tory rule" after Boris Johnson's election victory. 
A heavy police presence was seen close to the Cenotaph in Whitehall, which was cordoned off as clashes broke out.

However, people on social media questioned the protests, with one person writing: "I didn't vote blue, but why are
people protesting saying 'Boris Out' less than a day after polling closed?
"Protest against the electorate. They kept him there. You only respect democracy if you get the result you want?"

Another wrote: "Interesting that there is a 'Stop Boris' protest happening in London at the moment. 
"It seems there is an element of the socialist movement that doesn't subscribe to democracy unless it suits them."...'

Well! That bit just strengthens my comparison of Johnson to Trump - it's probably more than just sharing a hairdresser! They're calling for his "removal" before the ink is even dry on the ballots, just as they did over here with Trump. It's an eerily strong reaction which indicates to me that these men are very dangerous indeed to the Socialist Agenda, and the Socialists are losing their minds and melting down before they even see their precious Socialism swirling down the drain into the cesspool it belongs in!

Yeah, the pundits in the media have names for this style of governance, but it involves a feeling of self-reliance and
a steadfastness against anyone wanting to take right to pursue of what you deem appropriate for yourself, your family
and community.

It used be called 'Being Normal'.
..........................................................

I noticed this on the BBC web-page and thought that since the title was 'General election 2019: How Labour's 'red wall' turned blue',
it would possibly explain to the reader why so many working-class communities around the the UK voted for the Conservative Party
instead of a political group that originated from the lower strata of general society.

Apart from the information of which Labour-held electoral seats were lost, the BBC offered a weak-assed, milk-toast reason of why
the British public chose Boris Johnson and his party. For some odd reason, the BBC has always favoured the classic rhetoric of the
Labour Party about diversity and multiculturalism.

Yet, if you're Jewish and a member of Jeremy Corbyn's political gang, it's not all sweetness and Eloi-biscuits for breakfast.
Which in itself is strange, Jon Lansman -a big noise in the Momentum organisation and ran Corbyn's 2019 campaign is Jewish!
Hell, if you adhered to the old Right-wing side of politics, you still wouldn't be welcome in this hate-filled, champagne-socialist
assemblage of upper-middle-class young people who see everyone as racists and bigots.

But the BBC won't tell you that.



Quote:'Nastiness and hostility'
Some blamed Brexit, others Jeremy Corbyn.

Phil Wilson, who stood for Labour in Mr Blair's old constituency of Sedgefield in County Durham, said the Labour leader went
down "like a lead balloon" with voters on the doorstep. "For Labour leadership to blame Brexit for the result is mendacious
nonsense.
Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was a bigger problem. To say otherwise is delusional," he tweeted.

One of Mr Corbyn's closest allies - the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone - said it "looked like the end" for the Labour leader,
and he would probably "have to resign". But Labour chairman Ian Lavery, who retained his Wansbeck seat in Northumberland by 814
votes, said the party had suffered a lot of "hostility", "resentment" and "nastiness" because of its position on Brexit.

"People feel let down, that's the reality of it," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, citing Labour's support for a second EU
referendum having previously said it would accept the result of the first.
"We lost trust and we cannot as a party continue to promise one thing and do another."

Losing her Don Valley seat in South Yorkshire, Caroline Flint - never a fan of Mr Corbyn and Leave supporter - blamed Mr Corbyn's
leadership and Remain-backing MPs for the party's performance.
The former Labour minister's former seat has existed since 1918 and had never before had a Conservative MP.

She claimed she had been "fighting on" two fronts; the first being voters not wanting to support Mr Corbyn as Prime Minister and the
second of Labour "being more like a 'stop Brexit' Remain party."...'
BBC:

No mention of Corbyn's Marxist beliefs or his affinity for terrorist leaders. Not a comment on how the Trotskyist cult 'Momentum'
-a far-Left group of activists within the labour Party, worked to clear a path for... shall we say, those of a different persuasion to
Zionism.

If a country has embraced capitalism and looks to improving the standards of its citizens through trade and acquiring businesses to
employ those citizens, then surely for the majority -and with a little self-responsibility, a fair lifestyle can be achieved.

But for Corbyn's crew, they wanted total fairness that involved taking wealth from the rich and handing it to those they deemed not as
well-off. They believed over-taxing the rich would be a way of punishing those who showed enterprise and in their envy-filled hearts,
they saw the Jewish communities of the UK as the true guardians of that wealth.

Momentum hate winners and losers and they convinced their party-leader that their style off communism could be sold to the British
public... as long as it was worded correctly.

But they never checked history.


RE: The UK's Brexit Referendum. - Wallfire - 12-14-2019

People need to study what communism/socialism is all about. Its not about the people, its about a very small amount of people getting power and oppressing all others.

There's talk that the two so-called 'assassins' were in the UK to pick up papers pertaining to
the 'Russian Collusion' fiasco and the Skripals situation was merely a shiny ball of distraction.

There may have been supernatural influences in assisting the Conservative Party getting over the winning line.
May have been -that is.


Quote:Uri Geller branded 'spoon nonce' on Twitter after claiming he helped Johnson win.

'Uri Geller has been branded a "spoon nonce" on social media after claiming he was partly responsible for Boris
Johnson winning last week's General Election.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6824]

The British-Israeli illusionist and psychic, 72, said on Twitter that he had met with the Conservative leader's team in
the run-up to the polls. He claimed he had given the PM a spoon belonging to Israel's former Prime Minister Golda Meir.

Geller then said this spoon had been "energised with positive energy" in order to stop Jeremy Corbyn winning.
On Monday morning he tweeted: "Met with #borisjohnson's team, gave @BorisJohnson a spoon which belonged to
Golda Meir.

"I energised this spoon with #PositiveEnergy as part of my strategy with the #mindpower of the #UK public to ensure
that #JeremyCorbyn did NOT end up as #primeminister!"
His tweet sparked mockery on social media, with many casting doubt on Geller's supposed psychic abilities.

Stephen Robinson replied: "Your career is built on lies, just like Boris you spoon nonce."
"Okay but spoon nonce is my favourite thing of the day," one Twitter user wrote in response.
Another user wrote: "F*** off and take your spoons with you, nonce."...'

Sheesh, culterists... they're everywhere, man.


Quote:It is not the first time the illusionist has purported to use his psychic powers to interfere in politics.
In March this year, Geller claimed he would "telepathically stop Brexit" in a bizarre warning to then-Prime Minister
Theresa May.

Penning an open letter to the PM, the paranormal spoon-bender said he "psychically" felt very strongly that the
"British people do not want Brexit". In the bizarre note, he also claimed to "love" May and said he had predicted
she would become Prime Minister when she joined him for a ceremony at his house several years ago.

Geller, who lives in May's Maidenhead constituency, wrote that he had shown her Winston Churchill's spoon on his
Cadillac, and asked her to touch it...'

Aye, I've heard  about men like this.

Quote:In January, he also said he would use his "telepathic powers" to stop Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.
While in April, Geller claimed he was responsible for leaky pipes at the Houses of Parliament.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=6825]

Provided with spoons, he was unable to bend any of them after not being able to touch them beforehand.
In 1997, Geller placed "energy-infused crystals" at Exeter City FC's St James Park home to help them win a crucial
game. But - in signs which may or may not be ominous for Boris Johnson - the Second Division team lost 5-1...'

RE: The UK's Brexit Referendum. - Wallfire - 02-01-2020

Now the people of the UK have to face a very big problem. There have been so many bad things happing within the society that have been blamed on "rules from the EU". Now they have to face the fact that most of the Evil is coming from inside, not from some where else.
PC and extreme LGBT, laws, how the laws are implemented. In short the people have to face just how much damage the left/socialist have done, and do the people of the UK have the balls to change and fight back.

It is the LGBT or WTF ever they are called controlling the Media and Social Media and you are a Criminal to them if you Do Not Agree With Them.
You are NOT Allowed the Voice Your Opinion If It Is Different From Their Opinion. 
They have their people in place in jobs with the local governments just so they can change laws to fit their agenda.
They have local law enforcement under their control to Harass anyone voicing their own opinions about them.
They have people working that just read and monitor old Tweets and Social Media Posts.
They Are Dangerous To All Straight Men and Women and want to see us all in their Reeducation Camps.

The Hate Crime Was Having A Opinion the Differs From Theirs.

It falls into the same category of why the Police were lazy in solving the sex-grooming gangs.
They prefer politically 'safer' zones to oppress and of course, it's more leaning on controlling
those who -they believe, don't fall into the area of being vulnerable.
Namely, white straight men.

It's all about having sex with children, all of it. It's just a long road that has to be travelled carefully.
Why do you think they have transvestites reading to school children and explaining that touching
themselves when they feel low is okay? Why do you think shaving pubic hair is promoted?

Confusion of oneself is the key and that's why anyone who rebukes the narrative is treated as a
criminal.


RE: The UK's Brexit Referendum. - BIAD - 02-01-2020

For many in the UK, I think this guy says it all in regards of the European Union.


By RUPERT LOWE.

Quote:Good riddance to an outdated protectionist racket, says (newly jobless!) MEP Rupert Lowe.

'At 11pm last night I, and millions of others, raised a glass to the United Kingdom finally leaving the
European Union and becoming an independent, sovereign state once again.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=7098]

For me, it was the culmination of more than 20 years of hard work that began fighting alongside
Sir Jimmy Goldsmith to keep the pound and finished with Nigel Farage battling to deliver Brexit
through his work with UKIP and the inspired formation of the Brexit Party.

We successfully saved the pound and, with a couple of important caveats, we will have a Brexit that
was worth fighting for. Boris Johnson’s deal is not perfect, Barnier and Macron’s backing should
ring alarm bells for any Brexiteer!

However, Nigel and the Brexit Party extracted a promise from Boris that the transition period would
not be extended and our final destination would be one of freedom and independence.
Before I was elected as an MEP, my opinion of the European Union was that it was a sclerotic,
authoritarian nightmare that only served to drag the UK down.

After 7 months in office, I can confirm that I was far too kind - it is an outdated protectionist racket.
Over my 45 years in business, from football clubs to farming, stockbroking to health centres, I have
never encountered such waste and corruption.

As a member of the Budget Committee in the European Parliament, I frequently pointed out the
hypocrisy and extravagant excess only to be met with insults and sneers.
I wouldn’t trust any of them to run a tuck shop never mind a multi-billion budget.

Tens of millions of Brits work hard, long hours and pay their taxes expecting to see better schools,
roads and hospitals. For too long we have sent hundreds of millions of pounds a week to these
self-indulgent eurocrats who splurge the money on vanity projects and EU propaganda.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=7099]

Since Boris Johnson’s election win the mood in Parliament has shifted from smug entitlement to
genuine panic. The Brits and the Germans have financed this project for decades and now the
cash cow is leaving they do not know what to do.

We are one of the biggest economies in the world; they are not dealing with Greenland now, the
only country to leave before. Any businessperson worth their salt will tell you if you are losing such
a huge income stream that cuts have to be made.

Nevertheless, the answer in Brussels is the same as always- more Europe and more money.
For many in the Parliament they are in a state of Brexit denial. Our vote to leave the European Union
was a devastating blow to their mission but the euro-federalists will not accept any criticism.

Outside the Parliament, they recently installed figures of Ostriches with their heads in the sand;
you have to admire the humour and awareness of the sculptor!

For all of their insults and abuse the Parliament will be a worse place without Nigel and the Brits.
We bring good humour, pragmatism and a sense of humility that the place will sorely lack without us.

There are brave MEPs left fighting the establishment, Carles Puigdemont the Catalan separatist,
Eurosceptic colleagues from Italy, Croatia, France etc, but unfortunately their numbers aren’t great
enough yet to effect real change.

Make no mistake however; this project is destined to fail. Centrally planned, bureaucratic super
states always do. The best thing that we can do now is to make a stonking success of Brexit and
show EU member states that another way is possible.

When they finally decide to regain their own freedom and independence, they will always have a
friend and ally in the United Kingdom.
We might be leaving the EU, but we are very much part of Europe!...'

RE: The UK's Brexit Referendum. - BIAD - 02-02-2020

And the bad-blood goes on....
tinysure


Quote:Mean-spirited Remainers continue to deepen division in Britain with hashtag THICK

'Remainers have branded Leave voters "thick" for choosing to leave the European Union, deliberately spreading hate
and deepening the divisions which they continually blame Brexit for.

Thousands mocked Brexit-backing Britons for their “embarrassing celebrations” last night and
the hashtag ‘thick’ began trending on Twitter. The insulting hashtag first emerged after videos
circulated of Brexiteers outlining why they voted to Leave the European Union.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=7100]

One woman was heavily mocked for mistakenly saying “our courts will have the right to say what
goes on - instead of Germany”, when the European Court of Justice is based in Luxembourg.
But the trending hashtag soon spiralled into a barrage of ugly insults aimed at Leave Voters,
which will do nothing to aid the national divide Remainers accuse Brexit of triggering.

Last night the BBC aired several interviews with Britons celebrating Brexit Day and one clip, of two women attending the
bash at Parliament Square, started to be widely shared on social media. The video, of east Londoners Stacey and Tracey,
showed the pair explaining why they were so happy Britain was leaving the EU on Friday night.

The clip was then shared on Twitter under #thick, as people mocked the two women for their “brainless response” as one
woman mistakenly said the European Court was based in Germany. One person wrote: “Ok so Brussels is in Germany now.
There should be a law against #thick people voting and ruining a whole country!...'

If you didn't know what the ladies were actually stating, you should take a look in the mirror and reappraise your accusation.
This is why Brexit occurred, the pompous attitude of the middle-class believing that only they knew what was best for the
unwashed minions that worked for a living and shouldn't be heard.
Gosh, fancy that...? the servants downstairs having an opinion... who'd have thought it!
tinylaughing

Quote:'...“Can’t wait for all these people to realise how f****d they will be next year while the rich Brexiteers laugh at them.
YOU WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM BREXIT.”

Ironically the arrogant Twitter user was also wrong, as the European Court is based in Luxembourg.
Other videos of Leave voters soon emerged under the hashtag, as people continued to mock their pro-Brexit comments...'

Well, anyone can make a mistake... or is that just another example of privilege?
tinylaughing


Quote:'...One person said: “So many clips circulating of Brexiteers outlining why they left and why they’re happy. #thick is the perfect 
word to describe them. “At least it finally puts to bed the North-South argument. Clearly Northerners are the epitome of brainless.”
Another person said: “Not as dismayed as I am to see the embarrassing celebrations from people who cannot even explain the
benefits of Brexit. #thick”

A third wrote: “Looking at some of the videos of the belters in London interviewed on TV last night celebrating Brexit, it’s no surprise
that #thick is trending. “I’m not sure that there should be an automatic right to vote.” But #thick soon turned into a wider attack against
Brexiteers, as people began to use the hashtag to mock those celebrating Britain’s withdrawal from the EU last night.

One person wrote: “People partying last night like it’s 1776 and you just freed yourselves from an Imperialistic nation bent on
controlling every aspect of your lives through taxation and unjust laws. #thick”
Another person said: “These kinda people shouldn’t be anywhere near a pen , especially when it comes to voting #thick.”

One person wrote: “As previously stated I’m not generally into the name calling thing but if you voted LEAVE for immigration reasons
when we already had control over most of our immigration then you are #thick.”

But many were furious at the comments and urged people to stop using such offensive language.
One person urged Remainers to “embrace democracy”, and wrote: “The fact #thick is trending is only a reminder as to why Brexit
succeeded in 2016. “Normal people are sick of being put down by pretentious, metropolitan left-liberals who see their opinion as
the only smart or valid viewpoint, and treat those who disagree as idiots.”

Helen Barnard, of The Joseph Rowntree Foundation, said:
[Image: attachment.php?aid=7102]


Piers Morgan even weighed in on the debate and said: 
[Image: attachment.php?aid=7101]


He added: "So #thick is trending, driven by Remoaners who think they’re so much smarter than the 17.4m people who voted for Brexit.
"If you’re all so f******g smart, how did you get beaten by a bunch of thickos?"
Another person agreed and wrote: “The fact #thick is trending, in response to Brexit, is indicative of why Remain lost the referendum in
the first place.”...'

Quote:Maldives rejoins Commonwealth after evidence of reforms.

'Nation quit in 2016 after being threatened with suspension over its human rights record.
Maldives has rejoined the Commonwealth, bringing the total number of nations in the global organisation to 54, it has
been announced.
The change came into effect at one minute past midnight on 1 February – just over an hour after the UK left the EU.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=7103]

The republic quit the Commonwealth in 2016 after being threatened with suspension over its human rights record and
lack of progress on democratic reform. President Ibrahim “Ibu” Mohamed Solih, a campaigner for democracy during
decades of autocratic rule who was elected in 2018, promised change and swiftly applied to rejoin.

The island nation has been readmitted after showing evidence of functioning democratic processes and popular support
for being part of the family of nations. Patricia Scotland, the Commonwealth secretary general, said: “I warmly congratulate
Maldives on its successful application. We are delighted to welcome the country and its people back to the Commonwealth.

“The reform process under way in Maldives aligns with the values and principles of the Commonwealth and we encourage
the nation to continue on this path. Commonwealth members were pleased to note these developments and are happy once
again to count Maldives as a member of the family. Together we will support Maldives to realise its ambitions.”

Lady Scotland consulted the other Commonwealth nations, who all had to agree to Maldives’ readmission for it to go ahead.
The Indian Ocean archipelago – home to about 500,000 people – is formed of nearly 1,200 islands, most of them uninhabited.
It is known for its sandy white beaches and luxury tourist resorts.

During his election campaign, Solih vowed to promote human rights and, since his surprise win, political prisoners have been
freed and exiled opposition figures have returned to the islands. Within months of taking power, he wrote to the secretary general
expressing interest in rejoining the Commonwealth, before making an official application.

Solih said: “Today is a happy day for Maldivians as we return to the family of Commonwealth nations.
As a young democracy, the Commonwealth’s foundational values of the promotion of democracy, human rights, good governance,
multilateralism and world peace remain relevant to us more than ever.

“We gratefully acknowledge the support and help of the Commonwealth to the Maldivian democratic movement, and we look
forward to the support of fellow member states to ensure the long-term entrenchment of these values in our society.”

The country faced an assessment including two site visits and consultations, in accordance with the rules and procedures agreed
by the Commonwealth heads of government in Kampala in 2007.

In 2016, the Maldives government quit the global body under former president Abdulla Yameen, saying it had been treated “unjustly
and unfairly”. The country had been threatened with sanctions including suspension if it failed to show progress in leading democratic
governance issues, including the prompt release of political leaders and misuse of anti-terrorism legislation.

Yameen, who was elected in 2013, was accused of a crackdown on political rivals, courts and the media. But he was replaced by
opposition leader Solih after a shock election result in 2018. The islands, which became a multi-party democracy in 2008 after
decades of autocratic rule, had been in political turmoil since its first democratically elected president, Mohamed Nasheed,
announced his resignation in 2012, after a mutiny by the police and weeks of demonstrations against his order to arrest a senior
judge. He later said he was forced out in a coup.

All member countries of the Commonwealth must subscribe to the values and principles of the Commonwealth charter, including a
commitment to the development of free and democratic societies and the promotion of peace and prosperity.
Maldives, which last joined the Commonwealth in 1982, will now be part of the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in
Kigali, Rwanda, in June.
The Queen is the symbolic head of the Commonwealth, and more than 2.4 billion citizens make up the voluntary association...'
