And the media are making a big deal out of St George's Day - which usually, as far as I know, passes almost entirely without notice - and all because Flagshagger Keith felt the need to bore us with his EngNat rhetoric at the weekend.
Prick. #UKPolitics#GweriniaethCymru#ScottishIndependence#Think32#DisunitedKingdom
If anyone makes a fuss about it, tell them it is the day celebrating the National Saint of the country of Georgia. Which, technically, he also is. The #Flagshaggers and #EnglishNationalists hate that. Something that is a key difference between #English Nats and Scottish and Welsh nationalists in the UK. The former just can't share.
#EnglishNationalists are at a loss why their boosterish 'team GB' 'worldbeating' 'global Britain' 'buy British' rah rah rah schtick works with barely-numerate tabloid readers, but fails dismally with hard-nosed fund managers & international investors, who recognise Sunak-brand merchant bankers' marketing guff for what it is, & are staying away, leaving the FTSE flat. Eject the Johnsonian booster gang, & just maybe, some of the damage to market confidence they have wrought will begin to unwind.
Such has been the political violence visited on the 16 mill #Remain voters by #EnglishNationalists (& on Northern Irish & Scottish explicit democratic dissent in particular), there's no way back to the status quo ante without a national 'truth & reconciliation' phase, for which a #BrexitInquiry is essential.
Brits need to learn firsthand from key witnesses, notably civil servants, about what went on behind closed doors, with key players at Vote Leave, the National Broadcaster & others summonsed.
"After Wednesday's ruling, Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson said Britain should "ignore the laws" and "just put the planes in the air now and send them to Rwanda", PA Media reported [CNN website].
By "ignore the laws" Anderthal evidently means "ignore the Supreme Court".
Another outspoken expression of contempt by a senior #Tory spokesman for the #Rule of Law in the UK. The #EnglishNationalists think that because they were elected, they are omnipotent & can do what they like.
Some of you don't come from a family where "Is the political situation bad enough for us to flee the country?" is a regular topic of dinner conversation and it shows.
#Truss was Lord Chancellor when the Daily Mail & The Daily Telegraph both published front pages vilifying Judges, whose decisions on the power of a Prime Minister to exercise 'crown prerogative' their editors & proprietors disagreed with. Publication of the photographs was an attempt to browbeat our Judiciary, to subject the individuals to public opprobium, & in my view in the circumstances of the day an implicit incitement to violence against the person of the judges.
#Johnson 's contempt for his own recently signed treaty obligation under the Northern Ireland Protocol; #Braverman 's contempt for Britain's obligations under The Refugee Conventions, and latterly, #Sunak 's silence over the prohibition under international law against collective punishment of civilians. Right wingers now clamour for resiling from the ECHR. We have been lead by these unprincipled #EnglishNationalists into a void. Without the #RuleofLaw there is only anarchy. Vote them out.
In Russia, the regime has silenced theatres, directors & playwrights critical of Putin & his war, by withdrawing state contribution to funding. In the UK the #EnglishNationalists achieved a similar outcome following the Brexit referendum by threats to BBC funding. Now they deploy the same tactics against charities critical of ministers. Silencing critics because politicians are unable to answer them, is fascism. English Nationalists in power display their true nature.
