Howling Paranoia, Simmering Fascism, and a Distinct Lack of Irony.



The howling paranoia demonstrated by Brexiteers, after the decision of three high court judges, that parliament must vote on triggering Article 50, is a textbook example of a nation in danger of being consumed by neo-fascism.

The irony that such grotesque levels of hate and paranoia are being incited against the so-called self-serving establishment elites, by such people as Rupert Murdoch (News International), Dacre and The Rothermeres (Editor and proprietors of the Daily Mail), the Barclay brothers (owners of the Telegraph), right-wing members of the Tory party, and Nigel Farage (leader of the right-wing United Kingdom Independence party), is beyond satire. These people are not anti-establishment or anti-elitist. They are the self-serving establishment! They are the self-serving elite!

Brexiteers moan about being patronised and portrayed as uneducated by those who voted to remain in the European Union, but when you have a situation where there are calls by Brexiteers, for Nigel Farage to be given a peerage and become a member of the House of Lords (the most establishment and elitist institution in Britain, apart from the Monarchy), when he has built his political career by attempting to portray himself as anti-establishment and anti-elitist, it’s laughable. And those Brexiteers who believe Farage should be made a Lord and cannot see him for the liar, fraud and fascist rabble rouser, that he is, deserve to be ridiculed and laughed at for their utter hypocrisy and stupidity.

When Brexiteers accuse anybody, who exercises their right to freedom of speech by constructively pointing out the negative aspects of leaving the European Union and, using facts and empirical evidence, point out how it could be to the detriment of many mainly poor people, of being treasonous, or traitors, then those Brexiteers can rightly expect to be treated with the disdain their attitudes deserve. Or when British judges, who are just doing their jobs by carrying out the letter of the law, are branded by a right-wing rag, masquerading as a newspaper, as ‘enemies of the people’, then expect that newspaper to be called out as the fascist supporting rag it is. Is that echoes of “hurrah for the Black shirts” I hear, emanating out of Wapping? It would appear that the dark clouds of fascism are yet again gathering above Britain.

Why are Brexiteers so afraid of democracy? I thought they voted leave so that British sovereign laws would be applied in British courts by British judges. Their wish has been granted, yet because a judgement hasn’t gone their way, the Brexiteers cry foul and scream victimhood. Again, if you act like paranoid, small-minded, infantile, ill-thinking, irrational hypocrites, then expect to be treated in that manner. I’ve known toddlers, who have been told they can’t have a biscuit until they’ve eaten all their dinner, to be more reasonable and to have a better grip on reality.

Why are Brexiteers always so angry and furious? Last time I looked, they won the referendum, yet Brexiteers seem to be in a constant state of rage. If we are not careful, the tragic murder of Jo Cox will not be an exception, but a normality. Already, as a nation, we are experiencing a massive increase in hate crimes. People attacking or killing others because of their skin colour, or because they speak with an accent or in a foreign tongue????? What has this country come to???? The people that perpetrated these crimes are racist scum and shame Britain.

There is a fault line developing in Britain which, if it is not addressed, will see Britain descend into an inferno of hate and neo-fascism. This inferno is being stoked by right-wing newspapers, radio presenters who are nothing more than talentless self-interested hate preachers, and opportunistic politicians. Their hate-filled ideologue is being poured into the ears of Brexiteers, many of whom are happy to listen and are willing foot soldiers for neo-fascism. When a Minister of the State, Sajid Javid, irresponsibly stokes the fires of discontent, by openly questioning the impartiality of the British justice system, you realise we are moving into dangerous times. Javid has shown himself to be just another opportunistic and populist politician. The way the Tory government are now parading themselves as zealous Brexiteers, you would be forgiven for forgetting that over two thirds of the party were avid Remainers. Javid came across as a budding Asian Oswald Mosley.

My message to Brexiteers is simple, Calm down. Crawl out of the dark and step into the light. Do not worry. Britain is leaving the European Union. Your wet dreams will come true. Parliament will vote in favour of triggering Article 50. If you can name me more than twenty Members of Parliament (excluding Scottish Nationalists), who will vote against the government, then I will show you a group of MP’s who are either standing down at the next General Election, are happy to commit political suicide, or represent a pro-remain constituency.

What Brexiteers will have to accept, is that we are a parliamentary democracy and we elect MP’s to represent us and to pass legislation on our behalf. They are charged with upholding the Constitution and working in the best interests of the nation, ‘the entire nation’. Britain is not a dictatorship ruled over by Chairman May and her Politburo of apparatchiks.

The sooner Brexiteers realise it is not all about them and it’s not all a massive conspiracy, then the sooner they can rid themselves of the giant persecution complex that appears to be weighing them down, and then hopefully their victimhood, and their hatred for anybody with an opposing view, will eventually subside.

It’s either a grown up and rational discussion about what’s best for the country, or bring on the Civil War.

Of course, if Brexiteers feel so strongly about the judgement and things don’t go their way in the Supreme Court, they could always take their case to the European Court of Human Rights.

The homophobic Daily Heil.

Part of the Daily Mail’s coverage of the High Court judgement involved the paper describing one of the judges as ‘openly gay’. This is possibly one of the most disgusting pieces of veiled homophobia I have seen printed for many a year.

Neo-Fascist Hate Trolls.

Below are some of the online comments made about Gina Miller, one of the people that brought the Brexit case to the High Court.

“someone kill her, put two behind her ear and dump her with the rubbish”.

“anybody want to sign up and rape her”.

“someone should stab the black b&*ch”

“who’s going to help me rape this b&*ch

“P&*S off back to that p&*s-pot banana republic you came from, b&*ch”.

These commenters are the willing foot soldiers of neo-fascism mentioned in the main article of this blog. Proof they are not a fabrication of my addled mind.
