Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Teaboy]

I am not sure whether to laugh or cry at the current situation. Not felt so powerless since the thatcher era. Have resorted to shouting at politicians on the telly in the morning ( all of them )

You should get yourself down to College Green and join in the fun.

Yeah but there is no access to TV, radios or the web in Police cells, so every cloud eh?

"God has work for Britain which could not be accomplished while shackled to Europe"

So much for the omnipotence of the Divine. Or does the EU have iron chariots?

i don't believe being a member of the labour party puts you on the left, nor even being a labour party activist.

Smokeandsteam apparently does though, and some of them are apparently saying silly shit on Twitter, so clearly that's the new subject for this thread

We are close to full circle among sections of the left now. If your politics lead you to defending Tory MP's like Soubry then you probably need to rethink them.

She’s a horrible austerity enabler for sure. But I don’t think this precludes being concerned that pretty extreme right wing people have the audacity to openly harass elected representatives and others on the street, esp post Jo Cox.

Maybe it’s other sections of the left that have gone full circle. The left used to be pretty keen on ensuring the streets were clear of that sort of politics. Do you now want to tolerate it? Are we supposed to applaud their efforts because they don’t like some people we don’t like? Holding a tiger by the tail if you are.

First they came for Anna Soubry...

Are you part of the left that opposed fascists and right wingers on the streets?

Is there a bar for commenting? What is your point?

Well if you aren't part of the anti fascist left, and are here defending a tory MP, how do you think this characterises you?

Further, given you tolerated the hard right and never opposed them surely you bear some responsibility for them roaming about now?

Hopefully in the future the 'left,' a 'left' will have the mass clout and lists that enable it to hunt down former 'elected representatives.'

hunting the former people will be very easy especially as so many of them have kindly listed their addresses in who's who

Bercow now suggesting that harassing MPs (including calling them Nazis, I guess) is 'a type of fascism'.

Where will it all end?

fascism, I expect.

 

[TopCat]

It has been a circus at College Green in the last few months and was bound to attract a few interested parties. Surprised Bone has not been down there. The right are going unchallenged but given the police have promised today to deal with infractions robustly, it will likely change.

The fella in that pic wearing the union jack around his neck was live streaming to some channel or other, it's his thing. Anyone know what channel?

I’m not defending a Tory MP. I defending people having concerns about who harassing her. I’ve certainly protested the far right many times, though admittedly from the shouty side of the street.

Do I? How have you arrived at that conclusion then?

You clearly don't see the myriad of problems that arise from elements on the left demanding the police are used to 'protect' Tory MP's. I can't say I'm surprised.

Is there a point to the 'new subject to the thread' bit of your comment or is it best ignored?

if these elements on the "left" are labour party members then it is no surprise that they are saying the police should protect tory mps.

the myriad of problems arising from this are all solely in your imagination.

I don't actually see elements on the left demanding the police are used to 'protect' Tory MP's, but then I'm not glued to twitter like you...
