If there is a leadership challenge I'm fully supporting Sajid Javid.
The thought of Gove or Johnson becoming PM of this country gives me shivers. |

How i hate being right about everything.... brexit was a backdoor to right wing fascism, as proffered here by, of course.... the times!
Know what I see coming now?... A new BUF. https://www.indy100.com/article/mela...ave-eu-8439161 In The greater Britain, Mosley’s plan for achieving a fascist state was remarkably orthodox. Mosley believed violent revolution should be avoided, and his visit to Italy further confirmed this belief. Nicolson paraphrased Mussolini’s advice to Mosley as a warning “not to try the military stunt in England.” 165 Instead, Mosley’s approach to gaining power emphasized “loyalty to the crown.” 166 He wanted to achieve fascism by the simple method of gaining a parliamentary majority at election.167 With this accomplished, “government will be drastically altered by the legal constitutional means to which we adhere, in order to provide the effective instruments of government and of action which modern problems demand.”168 Mosley explicitly indicated that his movement would work through the current political system. These alterations included a retooling of the present House of Commons. Mosley believed that the inherent fault with the present Parliamentary system lay in the nature of the electoral system. Instead of judging candidates on their ability to lead or their technical expertise, constituents voted for those who demonstrated “assiduity in opening local charity bazaars,” or “lung power at street corners.”169 Representatives therefore focused on achieving success in the political game. As such, they often did not possess the effective technical knowledge needed to make policy decisions. In a “vastly technical age,” Mosley believed that this old system of politics was unworkable. Mosley demonstrated his “loyalty to the Crown” by restoring part of the King’s traditional powers. 185 Mosley hoped to assuage popular fear that a fascist state would lead to a tyrannical regime. To combat this fear, his system entailed a powerful executive Minister still beholden to the approval of the people and the King. He thus illustrated that a fascist government fixated on economic growth need not be a despotic one. To achieve this growth, Mosley advocated for the necessity of the “corporate state.” He borrowed this concept from Italian fascism. The Italian Corporate system or “Corporativismo” mostly allowed for private industry, but intervened in the interest of the state when necessary. From 1932-1934, Mosley‟s movement grew steadily. However, in the early months of 1934 the BUF enjoyed a significant leap in membership. This increase was largely due to the public endorsement of the BUF by Lord Rothermere. A well-known conservative newspaper baron with fascist leanings, Rothermere threw the full support of his newspaper the Daily Mail behind the BUF On January 8, 1934 Rothermere published an article in the Daily Mail entitled “Hurrah for the Blackshirts!” praising Mosley‟s movement.219 A few weeks later, he wrote another article defending the BUF from accusations that Mosley aimed for a “system of rulership by means of steel whips and concentration camps.”220 In the same article, he also attacked critics of the BUF as “tired alarmists” and “panic mongers.”221 Rothermere’s continued support did much to legitimize the movement, and membership skyrocketed. The London Police “Special Branch,” responsible for monitoring underground political activities, reported on May 25 that “the leaders of the Communist Party have definitely decided that something spectacular must be carried out by members of the organization against the fascists at Olympia.”236 The plan was for the anti-fascists to locate themselves in pockets throughout the crowd. Following Mosley‟s introduction, they would trade off chanting slogans in a pre-determined order. Other disruptors were to attempt to cut the lighting cables at a particular moment.237 To disguise themselves and spread confusion, Communist Party members planned to wear black shirts.238 During Mosley‟s speech, groups of interrupters continually shouted such slogans as “Fascism Means Murder: Down with Mosley” until they were removed.239 As soon as one group was removed, another would take up the chant. This type of interruption continued for a whole hour, while Mosley spoke in fits and starts. Eventually, the stewards succeeded in removing enough objectors to allow the speech to continue uninterrupted. All told, the Blackshirts forcibly removed about thirty protesters.240 Still, Mosley managed to complete the speech. Outside of the Olympia, the police arrested 21 anti-fascist protesters for various charges of obstruction, public disturbance and refusing to cooperate.241 That night, Mosley appeared on the BBC to discuss the events at Olympia. Joining him was Gerald Barry, the editor of the News Chronicle, who had been present at the speech. On the broadcast, Mosley claimed that the Communists had come with the intent to “shout down free speech.” Armed with weapons, these disruptors resisted ejection violently. Mosley asked the audience “Now I put it to you, to your sense of fair play: would you have handled these Reds very gently?- when you had seen your men kicked in the stomach and slashed with razors, and your women with their faces streaming in blood?” Gerald Barry, in contrast, denied seeing any weapons, but testified to seeing interrupters “being struck on the head, in the stomach, and all over the body with complete absence of restraint.” The BUF responded in the press by claiming “Socialists, Communists and Jews openly organised not only to attack the meetings but to close the streets of London by violence https://depts.washington.edu/chid/in...sh_Fascism.pdf

Yes Kizzy
its the Riddle that is endless. Those Fascists are nothing to do with many of us, of course The EU will not allow Pick and Mix. (stated from day one) So the PM needs to go out there, herself. And stay overnight there As for The WTO getting out of the EU everyone is saying she will not have the numbers to approve it ,in a vote. The Media is saying the 120 page white paper is due in 2 days , Thursday. but it might be on Monday , now ? Last edited by arista; 10-07-2018 at 12:28 PM. |

Theresa May is either being sold down the river, or she is selling us down the river, either way, I reckon she is finished.
