Johnson’s Government

What a mess we are in.

There is an article in the Guardian showing how ‘Project Fear’ has become a reality.

Surely just saying it will all work out in the end will not cut it anymore.

Brexit, as I am sure it was designed to do, has split our country and I am not sure there is any way back. There are no winners and losers, we are all losers.

Apparently, "turbo charge preparations" is another one to put on the Brexit Bingo card.

Re 'undemocratic backstop'; Sajid Javid is in love with it. Do you think they are all being primed to hammer these phrases in the hope that we will believe them? Pathetic. What they don't seem to realise is that they come across as fools, not as serious politicians.

We must not forget 'the will of the people'!

Yes I do agree that if it is constantly pointed out at every opportunity, the voters may begin to understand at how they are being manipulated.

"Project Fear", as a way of dismissing well informed warnings of the dire consequences of leaving the union, particularly from experts, was another overused, but successful catchphrase, which was first used in 2014 by the SNP.

I think that constantly using a phrase, especially one as vacuously meaningless as this one, 'normalises' it in many people's eyes. It has two Leavers' hate words in it, 'undemocratic' and 'backstop'. Who cares what it 'means'?

Yes, I am sure they're being primed. There's been a spike in searches for it on Google. Apparently, it started on Monday. Raab appears to have been the first, but it's now appearing in official government documentation. I think somebody's been reading Goebbel's handbook.

The word "democracy" itself has been misused so much over the last three years that it's become meaningless as a concept.

Exactly, Maizie, people don't care. It's like saying "cultural Marxist" (whatever that's supposed to mean). People automatically go "boo hiss" and feel revulsion.

How about the 'undemocratic proroguing of parliament' [which it is....]

Am I the only one who think that Raab looks, acts, talks, sneers like Alan B'Stard, played so wonderfully by the late Rik Mayall? Will try and find a clip and post it on here

Here it is, you can skip the ad at the beginning.

oh yes- but he seems a bit more competent and convincing (Alan B'Stard that is)

When you think Dominic Raab couldn’t get more stupid- this is a recent tweet of his

I think he may need a mental capacity assessment.

Oh no, is this our foreign secretary speaking? Truly shocking.

This Tory idiot seems hell-bent on breaking up our two most precious Unions.

just so out of order and provocative!

And then he goes on, and other Tories, about how precious the Union is

I think they’ve gone completely mad. The lunatics really are running the asylum now.

This is the same Raab who, as Brexit prefect, didn't realise just how busy Dover to Calais route is. Bloody hell, the man is a fool

He didn’t even know where Dover is.
