CSM EDITORIAL For months now Brexiteers have been warning about motorways getting blocked and the real dangers associated with delaying Brexit. That No Deal was actually the easy way out for our ruling class. That their Project Fear would actually only come to pass if they were so stupid as to delay Brexit. Well, last night they were that stupid. This afternoon the M5 and … Continue reading And So It Begins
CSM EDITORIAL And so in the final week (or is it 19 days?) there were five choices: Vote for Mrs May’s Deal – Highly Unlikely. Revoke Article 50 – Civil War. A last-minute longer extension offered by the EU before the 29th March/12th April with conditions (likely financial and attached to either a second referendum or some other significant game-changer like a General Election to … Continue reading The Final Countdown
BY JAMIE FOSTER As Theresa May prepares to bring her contentious deal back before parliament for a third meaningful vote, presuming John Bercow gets over himself, members of the ERG have some serious questions to ask themselves. Do they back the deal this time round to ensure that Brexit is achieved or do they hold their nerve in the face of all the threats that … Continue reading Hold Your Nerve
BY JACK PEMBERTON Since 2010 I have worked with a bloke called Dave. We’re good friends and our families know each other well. We’d do anything for each other. But since the summer of 2016 Dave’s been a Remainer and I’ve been a Brexiteer. We’re still friends. Nothing’s changed. I still work with a bloke called Dave. We often wonder who are these actors who … Continue reading Defending Remainer Dave
CSM EDITORIAL So, the House of Commons is no longer representative of British voters. Many years of political apathy in Britain have allowed a bunch of careerists, amateurs and Marxists to steal the green benches. A Remain Parliament voted for itself last night and this will not be fast forgotten. The obvious route from here – after a delay to Brexit is called for today … Continue reading Gloves Off
BY JAMIE FOSTER Theresa May’s deal looks dead in the water after Geoffrey Cox the Attorney General gave his advice that the legal risk of being stuck indefinitely in the backstop remained unchanged despite new legal documents secured from Strasbourg. While there still stands to be a vote on the deal, the DUP has already said they will be rejecting the deal following Geoffrey Cox’s … Continue reading Vote May’s Deal Down
BY ALEXIA JAMES Watching those few who have hung around to try and overturn Brexit is a sport in itself. They are clinically insane. While the rest of us were enjoying our Friday evening in the real world at dinner parties, down the pub or snuggled up on the sofa watching a movie, the tinfoilers were busy having a Twitter meltdown about Arron Banks, the … Continue reading Watergate Codswallop
CSM EDITORIAL There seem to be a lot of smug Remainers back on the scene all of a sudden. Just when we Brexiteers thought they had been summarily dispatched – reducing them to a desperate rump of hideous nudity and Nando’s dinners – the anti-democrats are back on our TV screens and clogging our timelines. No doubt they are buoyed by Corbyn’s support for a … Continue reading The Orbán Quotient
BY PAUL NEWALL The First Amendment of the US constitution should be adored. Granted that when the original US constitution was written, it was fanciful and flawed. Slaves for instance were regarded as two thirds of a human being which wasn’t quite as racist as you might think being as there were as many white bond slaves in this era as there were black African … Continue reading Towards a British Constitution
