the story in the link below, you can call it 'cultural Marxism' or idiocy or 'the rot' but it is clear that Boris wishes to be seen trying to stop the rot.

One for the common man but don't celebrate too soon the Supreme Court will have the final say. Harry Miller: Police probe into 'transphobic' tweets unlawful Been following that case for a while now. Pleased he won because he has put a lot on the line for this. The most sinister part was this... He was told he had not committed a crime, but it would be recorded as a non-crime "hate incident". I believe the actual box that this was ticked against was called 'Crime-Non Crime.' And in the original call from the Police to him he was told to 'check his thinking'. A couple of interesting interviews about this out there but the implications were frightening including this 'non-crime' being disclosed in any future vetting checks for a variety of professions.

Well, Cummings is coming for the Supreme Court as well. Those who want to keep their jobs will do well to reflect upon the history of free speech that this country enjoys and reject the New Labour and May free speech restrictions. I suspect that Johnson will be consigning them to the dustbin where they belong. Don't you just love an 80 seat majority. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Feb 2020 1.26pm)

It's quite something when opponents of the EU start suggesting it is authoritarian! The EU has been resisting growing authoritarianism in several EU states and no doubt would be doing so here, if we were still members. To accuse the EU of being authoritarian is to totally misunderstand the way it operates. Any authority it has has been delegated to it by the agreement of the members, who remain in control.

What do you suggest? That we return the Court of final appeal to the Law Laws as it was before the Supreme Court was created? The reason it was established was to create some distance between the place where the laws were enacted and those who had to apply them. To go back would be a retrograde step. I hear that some in government want their select committee to "interview" all prospective new appointees to the Court. This would be a disastrous move as it potentially brings us closer to politicising the judiciary. The last thing we should aim for is a situation similar to the USA where legal judgements often depend more on politics than on an objective analysis of the law.

I've no idea what kind of LSD they are smoking in Cornwall nowadays but it's far stronger than normal. It's like the UK, Greece, Spain, the lost referendums in multiple countries and unrest in the EU just passes this guy by as though it's a dream. The EU commission isn't elected democratically and it a cabal of technocrats forced onto the continent...... and governments don't give their peoples the chance to leave.....and when a constitution forces a vote and they vote to leave they tell them to vote again. Only the UK ignored people like him and finally....after a second election and a year late....broke away from this authoritarian centralised Corporatocracy.

I have never taken any kind of drug in my life but I am wondering if a dense fog of nonsense has settled over the Fens which is making the truth hard to see. Of course the EU Commission isn't voted in democratically. That anyone thinks that it ought to be just demonstrates how far removed they are from reality and how poorly they understand the way the EU functions. It's this type of deliberate misrepresentation which has resulted in us getting into this mess. Such people will not either be forgotten or forgiven. The Commission are effectively civil servants. They aren't forced on anybody. They are appointed and controlled by the member states. It doesn't make laws. It makes proposals which are then passed by the member states and the EU parliament, which is elected. That national governments hold referendums, and then decide how to respond to them, is entirely their own responsibility. The Commission are not involved.

Stop stating the facts when you can talk in half truths and gossip. Even better; just regurgitate stuff off of Vloggers on YouTube or Infowars or Breitbart and present it confidently as fact.

Can i present this confidently as fact ? The British people emphatically rejected your mate Jeremy corbyn. And the other people living in the country...those who voted for him , well they got reminded just who won the brexit vote. So stop being such a sore loser and take your medicine. London voted remain cos London lost all its Londoners. Edited by PalazioVecchio (15 Feb 2020 10.27am)
