I think there is a lot of dangerous language from the right particularly from extreme Brexiteers in orgs like Leave means Leave. I don't however think the PM has been guilty of that and I don't think there is an issue with a term like 'surrender' which is and has been used countless times in numerous different contexts

Well I disagree.

The word surrender means giving up or giving in.

When you apply that to a document and call it a surrender document/ bill.
You accuse all who supported is as cowards.

Johnson using the word surrender in that way is to fuel his presentation of dangerous division.
In that, ' more pro EU MPs against the people'.

When the vast majority DO wish to leave but ensure a deal.

All those MPs could make life easier for themselves in even their careers, by accepting even a no deal scenario.

They know the probable horrors and black uncertainty of a no deal.
So really have risked their political careers.

Far from surrending or being cowardly, they are the ones fighting for better.
Than just settling for the worst.

Johnson knows calling it a surrender bill, knows some extreme voters will look on all but him and his supporters, as cowards and betraying the people.

Which can have dangerously explosive results against those NOT supporting his stance.
Especially in the toxic political climate we are now in.

If you can't really see that, then really MTVN you absolutely surprise me.
