So apparently there are all these Remainers who are now Brexiteers after they saw how the EU treated Theresa May. In reality the EU leaders are just taking her for an idiot like everyone in Britain has been doing, but … Continue reading →
I mean, what? What was the actual complaint? Yes, the EU leaders didn’t really show her the sort of respect you’d expect in that sort of situation. But she’s not exactly getting the message that they’re not interested in Chequers … Continue reading →
It’s hard to believe that a lot of Brexiteers, and Remainers as well, who have previously been critical of May, have been singing her praises since she made her speech. The speech was pure theatre. May puts on these little … Continue reading →
What is Communism and hard-left socialism like? A lot of analogies have been made over the years, but in view of its stupendous death toll it can perhaps be best compared to a genetically-engineered virus which some scientists swear will … Continue reading →
