John Cleese skewers Auntie Beeb, the UK and Emily Maitlis

Posted on by

Further, John Cleese is leaving the UK and heading for the Caribbean. He’s fed up with the United Kingdom and doesn’t mind saying so.

Interviewer Emily Maitlis tried to convince Mr Cleese that the BBC conducts “robust news reporting” — “come on Maitlis, pull yourself together” — but, well, it would appear that the trust level of the UK media as compared to the rest of the EU countries is dead last out of 33. Turkey beats the UK for trusted media. Cleese objects to what he terms the “lying and the triviality.” In essence: Fake News.

“Least trusted does not necessarily mean not true,” Maitlis countered.

Cleese also pointed out something amazing: Monty Python is more popular in the US than it is in England. Cleese suggests that is because Python would overshadow what passes for current “comedy” in the UK which is, uh, no comedy. Thanks, PC Leftists.

Cue Jerry Seinfeld and the PC Police in the United States.

The sad state of affairs that Cleese admitted? In all of 2018 he’s only been in the UK for two weeks.

I find myself, essentially, in the camp of John Cleese these days. We are older, well off, and don’t mind saying what we’ve been thinking and holding back for years because, frankly, we are at the point in our lives where we couldn’t care less what anyone thinks of us. I’m not here to impress people any more. People are here to impress me.

Truly, that is quite liberating.

Live long enough to try it.

Article 50 triggered: Brexit truly begins

Posted on by

As opposed to all of the forces aligned against the very concept of Brexit itself by most every monied and arrogantly-assumptive elitist in Europe, a very critical step to the UK removing itself from the European Union begins.

From the Australian.com:

Brexit trigger approved as UK parliament approves Article 50

Parliament has given its approval for Prime Minister Theresa May to start Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, even as Scotland signalled its opposition by announcing plans for a fresh independence vote.

The House of Lords rejected a last-ditch attempt to amend a bill empowering Mrs May to begin Brexit, paving the way for it to become law as early as Tuesday.

Let me be blunt: this exists as a dagger to the heart of the Caucasoid GOWPs extant throughout the European Union whose life revolves only but about the One World Barbecue.

Just as Chuck Schumer is currently weakening America in order to provide more power to the Demorats by refusing to approve the final cabinet positions and appointments of President Trump, the Caucasoid GOWPs of the EU have done their level best to weaken Europe by trying to obstruct Brexit with all their might. Both are maliciously destructive, purposefully so.

The prime minister could then trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty at any time, starting two years of talks that will end with Britain becoming the first country to leave the bloc.

Mrs May’s spokesman sought to play down speculation that she would send her notification letter to the European Council on Tuesday, when the bill is expected to receive royal assent from the Queen.

But if independence is the issue, so it is “locally.”

But the prospect of an imminent start to Brexit was enough to push the nationalist devolved government in Scotland into calling for a new independence referendum.

For those ignorant of geography or history, let’s not forget that England is on an island, and so is Ireland. Scotland exists on the northern portion of the island. I apologize if I insult the older readers amongst us, but newer readers have no idea what is the United Kingdom.

For his service to country and courage in the face of overwhelming odds, Nigel Farage should be knighted.

Steve Hilton, former Senior Advisor to David Cameron, proposed a series of questions to be considered for roughly every bill or movement in any government:

  • Should the federal government be involved in this at all?
  • Is it a function of government and is it really necessary?
  • Should we be doing this at the federal level?
  • Power and accountability should be placed in the hands of persons in local communities in terms of decision-making, not larger government

Additionally, I would — as the Bloviating Zeppelin for the US — add these critical questions and qualifiers:

  • Is it Constitutional?
  • Is it fiscally prudent?
  • How will it be funded?
  • Does it add to the deficit?
  • Does it reduce or enhance freedoms?
  • Does it enhance or diminish US sovereignty and power?

I can guarantee you this: the instigation for Brexit revolves around the perceived and actual loss of control forced upon the EU client states by Brussels and, to an equal or greater degree, by Angela Merkel’s insistence that the EU be overwhelmed by Muslims who have no intention of assimilation whatsoever.

  • Borders
  • Language
  • Culture

You couldn’t see this coming, could you, elitists?

No. Because they couldn’t understand that, after a period of time, the proles, the serfs, the groundlings, the commoners — they sometimes come to their senses.

When they do, they are not pleased.

EU doubles down: Brussels wants a dictatorship

Posted on by

Brexit Many RanguagesBecause everyone thinks they can “do” Socialism better than the last guy.

Not like Obaka isn’t trying.

Obama Dictatorship SupremeJust ask Lenin or Stalin or Chavez or Castro or Mao or Maduro.  There’s a lot to be said for a diktat.  It simplifies a lot of things.  “Streamlining,” you might say.

Why don’t we just let British media explain things right off the bat?

From the UKExpress:

European SUPERSTATE to be unveiled: EU nations ‘to be morphed into one’ post-Brexit

by Nick Gutteridge

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged today.

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”. 

Right.

An ultimatum because those in favor of REMAIN cheated and, despite that, lost at the polls.  Their first thought — following the shock of it all — was to nullify the vote.  They didn’t get their way.  That can’t happen.  They are Leftists.  The proles, the groundlings, the serfs, the pawns, the unwashed, the uneducated, they must obey.  “Too many ignorant people in the UK.  We need to push their votes aside and do what we, the parliament, know is best for those brain-dead Britons who voted for Brexit.”

In other words: to hell with you dimwit voters.

Brexit Londoner NOT AncientBecause, after all, those persons silly enough to vote for Brexit were clearly uneducated.

Brexit Leftist EducationOr perhaps they consisted of those who were actually thinking human beings and respected the right of cultures and countries to exist on their own?

Nah.  Racist, sexist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Elitist, anti-Socialist, anti-Globalist, anti-Leftist.

But — oh my — it so gets better:

Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees. 

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland – a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism – after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info. 

Listen:

Under the radical proposals, EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels. 

Turning all power over to Brussels, Belgium.  Repeat: all.  Sufficiently onerous for you yet?

But others see the Brexit vote as an opportunity to push ahead with the European elite’s long-cherished dream of creating a United States of Europe.

Spain’s foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has called for “more Europe” whilst Italy’s finance minister, Carlo Padoan, is advocating a common budget for the eurozone states. 

Precisely.  A “United States of Europe” where they can finally put their boot-heels to that upstart US child.

Finally:

And Emmanuel Macron, France’s economy minister, wants to go even further and set up a common eurozone treasury which would oversee the permanent transfer of funds from wealthier northern Europe to shore up Mediterranean economies. 

There; the cat is out of the bag.  Euro Elitists want that forced transfer of wealth from the “greedy, evil Big States like Germany” to the poor needy states like Greece — who make execrable decisions, grant little if any input to the kitty, but want to take as much as possible from the central till.

You know it by the name of Socialism.

And it is unsustainable.  Just peek at Venezuela.

Let me say this again, Euro Elitist Leftists: people voted to opt out of the EU because Britons saw their country disintegrating before their very eyes.  They saw their culture — and make no mistake, the British indeed have a clear and lengthy culture — crumbling outside their doors.  They saw their values and mores being overshadowed by everyone and everything un-British.

Then they said: enough.

Brexit SwexitOverall, bad news for the European Union:

The EU should regard the referendum result as a wake-up call. Discontent with how the bloc operates isn’t restricted to Britain. A survey of more than 10,000 voters across Europe published by the Pew Research Center earlier this month showed rising dissatisfaction. The proportion of French respondents with a favorable view of the EU, for example, slumped to 38 percent from 69 percent in 2004; in Spain the deterioration was to 47 percent from 80 percent.

P.S.
If the Brits have “Brexit,” then how about Departugal?  Italeave?  Fruckoff?  Czechout?  Oustria?  Finish?  Slovlong?  Latervia?  Byegium?  Leaving only Germlonely?

By the way, two excellent articles on the Brexit here and here.

UK Leftists CHEAT on Brexit, then want to dismiss results

Posted on by

Brexit Queen BacksTrue to form with Leftists the globe over, first they cheated at the Brexit vote and, now, not having gotten their way, simply want to dismiss the vote altogether.

Perfect.

Why vote?  Why waste your time, when the Leftist Elitist Ruling Class will do as it pleases with little pushback from media?

First, the cheating, from BreitbartUK:

Brexit CHEATERS3M+ ‘Remain’ Petition Uses ‘Script’ To ‘Fake’ Signatures: 25,000 From North Korea, 2,800 From Uninhabitable Antarctic

by Raheem Kassam

Questions are being raised as to the true number of UK citizens signing a petition to urge another European Union membership referendum as evidence emerged that activists are encouraging foreign signatories. Some critics claim that a “bot” or “script” is being used to automatically generate names and signatories.

As of early Sunday afternoon, over 3.1 million signatures had been registered on the petition named: “EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum” which calls for the “Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.”

But an analysis of the data on the petition shows that at least 6 per cent of the signatories, or nearly 200,000 are from foreign countries. While foreign-based UK nationals are allowed to sign UK petitions, some believe that many of these are fraudulent given that Remain activists are handing out post codes online in order to elicit more signatures from abroad.

When abject cheating happened to fail, an outright overturning of the people’s vote is next up from the Leftist Playbook.  FoxNews.com writes:

Brexit remorse? UK lawmaker calls for Parliament to ignore EU referendum

The aftershocks of Thursday’s referendum on British membership in the European Union continued to reverberate Saturday with one lawmaker saying Parliament should overturn the result.

Voters in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar opted to leave the 28-nation bloc by the relatively narrow margin of 1.2 million votes out of more than 33 million cast. The result revealed deep regional and generational divides in the United Kingdom, with young voters, London and Scotland overwhelmingly voting “Remain.” By contrast, older voters, the rest of England and Wales voted “Leave” by similary large margins.

It initially appeared that many voters quickly developed buyer’s remorse after the vote, with more than 2 million people apparently signing an online petition calling for a second referendum to be held. But it was revealed Sunday that many of those signatures were faked, with hackers from Anonymous and the online community 4 Chan likely responsible, Heat Street reported.

See the first article, above.

What to do, then?  Ignore it all.  Tear it down.  “Too many ignorant people in the UK.  We need to push their votes aside and do what we, the parliament, know is best for those brain-dead Britons who voted for Brexit.”

Once again, Leftists insisting they know better than anyone else what is better for you, including you.

If they cheat and can’t win, then wish to cancel the results in any event, I have but one question:

Why make a pretense, Leftists?  Why should the populace be allowed to vote at all?

As far as you’re concerned, you’d simply prefer to rule by diktat.
