BY TIM DAWSON “Bollocks to Brexit!” they screamed. “Bollocks to Brexit!” This was less a conference, more a collective breakdown. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, with sandals and vegan salads. For three days, the Liberal (not that they’re liberal) Democrats (not that they’re democrats) tore up Bournemouth – and democracy. Their headline act was Guy Verhofstadt. Verhofstadt, as readers will know, is a deluded … Continue reading The Real Lib Dem Führer
BY ALEXIA JAMES We knew before the “Liberal Democrat” conference started that a vote for the Lib Dems was a vote that allowed Corbyn to sneak into power and wreck Britain. Today, after they have voted as a party to Revoke Article 50, we now know that a vote for the Lib Dems is a vote to throw away our nation state – a vote … Continue reading Yellow Peril
CSM EDITORIAL The greatest tangible threat to Britain is a Corbyn Government – whether for a few days or many years – as the Corbynites are self-confessed Marxists who want nothing less than a revolution. When Rod Liddle was just starting out as a journalist when Robert Mugabe took power, back in 1980, he asked his predecessor, Ian Smith, how he thought Mugabe would manage … Continue reading Circumventing Threats
BY DAVID EYLES What happens if Boris Johnson gets to an election pre-Brexit without a pact with the Brexit Party? Or succumbs to agreeing a reheated May withdrawal agreement with the EU? Taking Cornwall as a microcosm, there are six Tory MP’s whose seats would be up for grabs with majorities ranging from 312 to over 17,000: The above model shows what happens with a … Continue reading Boris’ Tightrope
BY NIGEL RAFFERTY Continuity Remain and the unrepresentative parliament has reached new heights of annoyance. Their ridiculous attempts to delay Brexit make even puny, little countries look from abroad at us and giggle. The idiots dressed in blue and yellow singing pathetic ditties in the streets can’t even sing in tune. Pro-Europe commentators are shabby dimwits or war criminals. The tiresome bias of newscasters grinds. … Continue reading Get Out of Our Way
CSM EDITORIAL So Momentum is calling for hundreds of thousands of people to occupy and blockade our towns and cities, while “peacefully engaging” to restore democracy. Meanwhile the ex-BBC Newsnight journalist Paul Mason is calling for a storming of Downing Street this weekend, as one does. Sir Philip Pullman said in a tweet that he thinks of “rope” and “the nearest lamp-post” when he hears … Continue reading While Others Lose their Heads
BY SEAN FLYNN “The next two months for Ireland will be gruelling – and unforgettable” writes Keith Duggan in the Irish Times. The Republic of Ireland faces meltdown after October 31st if the UK leaves the EU on WTO terms. Ireland faces food and medicine shortages and 110,000 job losses if there’s a No Deal Brexit, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar warned on August 1st. Meanwhile the … Continue reading Boris’ Feet
CSM EDITORIAL So, some Remainer has leaked the dossier known as Operation Yellowhammer which warns of food and medicine shortages in a no-deal exit. Cabinet minister Michael Gove said it outlined a “worst-case scenario”, that the cross-government study was old and that Brexit planning had accelerated since Boris Johnson became prime minister. The warnings in the report are not actually that scary. Project Fear seems … Continue reading Yellows Leak Yellowhammer
BY CHARLES SULLIVAN There are certain moments in political campaigns when you know the side not seeking publicity has developed unstoppable and winning momentum. In the post-vote People’s Vote campaign, one such moment was the arrival of EU Supergirl, Madeleina Kay – she personified the whining, out-of-tune position of Continuity Remainers and helped turn Remainers away from the Continuity remain cause. Another was the rise … Continue reading Wooferendum
