Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament faces challenges
So if the people are all for brexit… why the need to stifle the opposition ? yea that is how democracy works
@struthsayer huh? David cameron and george osborne sent out leaflets stating clearly a vote to leave meant leaving single market and customs union, and should a deal not be reach in to the 2 yrs following we would have to leave on w.t.o.
That was sent to EVERY household in the UK :/
@WTF Again? no no. Im a son of a migrant. No migrant concerns.
My issue is with a huge over arching right wing centralised power hierarchy with little independent oversight or direct accountabiliy to the people who chose the typical right wing policies of starvation level austerity levels on the poorest nations to ensure the richest got their interest payments
@jammy dodger voting does not work
@Juanito G That’s basically what the Electoral College is. The 2016 Presidential election is the most recent example of this in action. If you recall, Hillary was voted in by the people by over 3 million votes, but due to the antiquated Electoral college and Russia efforts, the outcome didn’t align with the American peoples choice.
@Jeremy Backup i get the comparison but i dont agree 100%.
I would agree that the elctoral college system is bad and not the most democratic. But that does not excuse the EU being an overarching power structure…does it?
The electoral college is more comparable to the first past the post system in britain, where number of consituencies won determines who wins rather than votes – so a small rural village of 1000 likely to be conservative get a seat whereby a town of 10,000 also only get one seat
Boris looks like Donald after a wind storm
After nuking a hurricane
I hate the man but I’ve got to hand it to Putin. He has the western allies taking themselves apart. RUSSIA WINS.
Russia is a 3rd world country. A frozen Africa. The mongol collonies that their collaborant Moscow got in hands because of break up of the Mongol Empire.
@Antony Stringfellow – Seems you hit a nerve by pointing out Aleksandr Dugin. I’ll make a point of hunting down Foundations of Geopolitics’ in English.
@Flavius Stilicho Hopefully you want to study up on the enemy. Neo-fascism is sweeping across Europe, and the leadership of what SHOULD be bastions of democracy, the USA and the UK, are fanning the flames. This is FAR more dangerous than anybody realizes. Like a lit match in an Amazon rain forest.
@Solving Politics i think you mean fox. CNN is about facts. I know its facts you don’t want to hear but facts nonetheless
@Kermit T. Frog how dangerous is a lit match in a RAINforest exactly? You know the fires currently happening is because of clear-cut efforts and not human error?
Inez Qtaish is writing” I have never made no false claims, not even false accusations.
*Welcome to Trump 2.0 – good luck, England*
NixLou no we fucking didn’t, we voted to leave via no deal. Nowhere did is ever say no deal so stop fucking talking for other people. In fact, Raab, Johnson, Gove, Farage AND rees Mogg ALL said no deal would never be a possibility. Rees Mogg actually said that we could get a 2nd referendum to see if we wanted a deal, no deal or remain when it came to leaving.
NixLou the vote was literally determined to be unlawful. House of Commons briefing paper 07212 section 6 – “if a referendum has the ability to significantly change the lives of U.K. citizens, such as an EU membership referendum, it would require a supermajority”. The vote was unlawful…
On top of the fact that it has been proven that leave.eu used illegal sources AND amounts of funding, used Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ to create – wat the U.K. Court has classed as – personalised propaganda from data stolen from Facebook. In fact, Dominic Cummings admitted it, he even admitted Brexit was a bad idea, and that he ONLY did it to break politics (since he believes that’s the only way to fix politics). The ONLY reason it WASNT nullified is that it wasn’t legally binding so it couldn’t ever be nullified.
On top of all of the false promises made, the fact that Brexit was voted for due to MANY different conflicting reasons that cannot ever ALL be satisfied.
@NixLou well pretty much everything borris said is being proven to be false or are you burying you’re head in the sand.also not a remainer so stop making assumptions now why don’t ya.
@BlueChild2022 boom👍
@NixLou But the vote was based on a bunch of misinformation and lies coming from Boris, hence the 3 year battle from the people of the UK in trying to stop Brexit once they realized they were mislead. Now the only way Boris can defy the people, is to shut down Parliament.
Boris looks like the Trump brother that nobody talks about.
And he has a Russian name.. Makes one think… 😂
He may have appeared in this video “We are Germany” .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMQkV5cTuoY
tRump and Johnson #Dumb and Dumber!
It’s telling that many in the UK are referring to Boris as ‘The UK Trump’.
They are not dumb. They are putin’s stooges and know exactly what they are doing. Both are caught by balls by Putin, who figured how to plant puppets into the great democracies.
If you have not seen it, we’re entering perhaps 200-300 years for dark age where autocrats and oligarhs will take over.
D H dumber and DUMBEST! 🤣.
Jeremy Backup perfect description.
Rob Wright Sadly, ….I must agree. 😔
Momentum, Labour grassroot is going to blockade the streets. Great! Send the hongkies soldiers over. That would be a fun day
If Trump and Ed Sheeran had a kid…
Boris Johnson would be their kid.
Wow, that is a good one! I see what u see
If Trump and Johnson had a kid, it would be Ed Sheeran?
Win, win for Putin.
Great another Trump ruining the world good luck my friends over the pond
America got orange , UK got a lemon both crazy
The U.K saw the U.S jump head first into the dark abyss of madness and stupidity and decided, “Sure why not.”
Actually no. different system. He just needed a majority of his party members. The rest of us knew what a lying piece of crap he is.
I don’t understand how people fall for empty right wing paroles. Did’nt we learn from History 80 years ago?! I only see right wing assholes talking badly about others, thereby getting the focus away from their own mistakes. And people still fall for it.
Also – for example – the same people who don’t want immigrants in their country, are the same people complaining about economical recession. If people are not able to connect a topic to another, then we deserve to extinct ourselves. Average humans have less IQ than a bee (sorry little bees, didn’t want to insult you).
I live in the EU and I have experienced discussions with and between both parties. The EU says that the UK is trying to blackmail them. The UK says that the EU is trying to blackmail them. Both parties mostly seemed dellusional. One UK-guy once said “With a no deal brexit, we won’t pay 40 billions to the EU. That’s how they are going to financially collapse.” … ok … It’s just absolutely crazy. Well … what are we supposed to do?!
WWI destabilzed the british empire
WWII destabilized the british empire even more.
Brexit … is it going to be the final fall of the empire? With Scots, welsh and Irish trying to break out?! We will see, by leaning back and eating popcorn.
Johnson’s economical “idea” seems like nothing more than some kind of upgraded thatcherism. Thatcherism … we hopefully know how bad it was for the british economy.
@jaime delgado Well, no body who matters
@Kidy Fiddler except we aren’t being genocided. You are just so fucking scared
Trump / Johnson / Bolsonaro = The Three Stooges!
But they are not funny, they are dangerous.
Trump/Johnson/Bolsonaro/Duterte – the four horsemen
Obviously, people with crazy hair should not run a country..!
Brexit = horrible recession for the UK. Hope it was worth it!
he even looks a little like Trump, but minus all of the Big Mac’s and lard…
I hope England is happy… They got their very own British Trump to destroy their country too… I think it’s safe to say the whole world is gone to 💩…
It’s been over 100 yrs… Time to fix your dentistry problem in the UK….
This dude faces many challenges most are mental.
