\u201cI could tear this place (Parliament) down and bulldoze it into the river! These fools and knaves (MPs) are voting on things they don\u2019t even understand\u2026. I wouldn\u2019t vote for Theresa May\u2019s deal if they put a shotgun in my mouth.\u201d \u2014 MP Mark Francois, hardline Tory Brexiteer\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

INTRODUCTION<\/strong>
\nby Lasha Darkmoon<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
The\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em> is not responsible for the pictures, captions and title of this tightly condensed article. For this I accept full responsibility. This is my edited abridgement of two separate articles by Richard Littlejohn in the Daily Mail: <\/em>the first published on 15 March<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and the second two days ago<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>when the full impact of the Brexit betrayal of the British people by their Prime Minister had become more sickeningly clear.<\/h5>\n
The headlines in this morning\u2019s newspapers say it all.<\/h5>\n
Today is March 29, 2019, the day we were meant to leave the EU for good. We haven\u2019t. We\u2019re still stuck in the EU and likely to be stuck in it forever, if our anti-democratic MPs have their way. \u201cONE LAST CHANCE!\u201d<\/strong> the Daily Mail<\/em> cries. \u201cDARKEST HOUR FOR DEMOCRACY!\u201d<\/strong> the Daily Express<\/em> screams. \u201cTHE DAY OF RECKONING,\u201d<\/strong> the Daily Telegraph<\/em> howls.<\/h5>\n
The word \u201cBETRAYAL\u201d is heard everywhere, with the finger of blame pointed in one direction: at Prime Minister Theresa May. Reporter Allison Pearson writes in the Telegraph Commentary:\u00a0<\/em><\/h5>\n
From the moment Mrs May entered No 10, Brexit was in trouble. What May meant to be a great crossroads in the story of the United Kingdom has turned into a seven-circle roundabout of Hell. No champagne toast tonight. No three cheers for democracy. Not even half a cheer. Brexit, you were betrayed<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0\u2014 <\/strong>The Daily Telegraph<\/strong><\/em>, <\/strong>front page, 29 March 2019<\/h5>\n
These two articles by veteran Daily Mail<\/em> columnist Littlejohn are the most eloquent and outspoken articles the reader is likely to come across anywhere in the mainstream press concerning the treachery and duplicity of this walking catastrophe on designer heels known as Theresa May. I am as astonished, as I am delighted,\u00a0 to learn that the Daily Mail, <\/em>a staunch supporter of Mrs May, had the courage to publish this incendiary denunciation of the Prime Minister and her Brexit\u00a0 shenanigans. It will give solace to the 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit over two years ago and were betrayed by the most duplicitous prime minister in British history, bar one, Tony Blair. At least Mother Theresa, to her credit, wasn\u2019t a war criminal. She was just a cunning and consummate liar, a devious trickster, who was determined to wreck Brexit while pretending to deliver it.<\/h5>\n
Emotions run high in Britain today, with the word \u201cBrexit\u201d on everyone\u2019s lips. The country is indeed in a ferment, with many talking about revolution in pubs and on public transport, as the impotent masses tend to do when they are mad angry and would like to disembowel every MP in sight.\u00a0 I have even heard the word \u201cguillotine\u201d dropped into the conversation in connection with members of Parliament, certainly the most spineless and contemptible bunch of incompetents ever to attain office in this country: mercenary, two-faced, opportunistic,\u00a0 anti-democratic, backstabbing, treacherous, and, quite frankly, unfit to run a public lavatory let alone a country.<\/h5>\n
Two of the most ardent Brexiters, the raffish Boris Johnson and Etonian toff Jacob Rees-Mogg, have recently lost the respect of their fans when both did a sudden last minute volte-face<\/em> by backing the Prime Minister\u2019s fake Brexit deal, even though both are on record as saying it was an appalling deal and that it constituted a betrayal of the 17.4 million people who had voted for Brexit over 1000 days ago. Boris Johnson had called Mrs May\u2019s deal a \u201csuicide vest\u201d, yet here he was voting for it at the eleventh hour. How can you respect a man who votes for a suicide vest? And to think this engaging scoundrel could soon have his feet up on the dinner table at 10 Downing Street. As for the impeccable Mr Rees-Mogg, once seen as the nation\u2019s Sir Galahad and rescuer from darkness, he has been accused of \u201csucking up\u201d to Mrs May by suddenly voting for her pathetic deal after just telling us how pathetic it was. Not all battles, it seems, are won on the playing fields of Eton \u2014 not any more.<\/h5>\n
The only MPs to retain the respect of the 17.4 million Brits who voted for Brexit are a small group of anti-Brussels hardliners of the European Research Group (ERG), known as the \u201cSpartans\u201d. These stalwarts\u00a0 have stuck to their guns through thick and thin, unwavering in their integrity, unlike the cowardly ditherers and anti-democratic creeps who did the dirty on their own people, including in many cases their own constituents, by spitting openly in their faces and stabbing them in the back.\u00a0 This is what a privileged education often does for you. It encourages hubris, from which nemesis invariably follows.<\/h5>\n
A list of these malefactors needs to be drawn up and handed over to the next Dr Guillotine, if and when such a daunting official\u00a0 should be appointed by a new iron-fisted government. As a pacifist, I speak metaphorically of course, hoping it will never come to this.<\/h5>\n
Dark days lie ahead. Democracy is certainly dead in Britain. Stone dead.\u00a0 And Theresa May and her Parliament of knaves and fools have killed it. [LD]<\/h5>\n

PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY:<\/strong>
\nLIAR, TRAITOR, ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018Call me Judas Iscariot!\u2019<\/em><\/h3>\n

By <\/strong>RICHARD LITTLEJOHN<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n
The entire political class have taken leave of their senses. Both during the referendum campaign and since the result was announced, their behaviour has bordered on the clinically insane.<\/h5>\n

INSANE<\/h3>\n

For the past almost three years we\u2019ve been living in a Looking Glass World where, like Lewis Carroll\u2019s Humpty Dumpty, words mean whatever the politicians say they mean.<\/h5>\n
I\u2019ve run out of invective. The bile mine is exhausted. Fury has given way to resignation and despair. We can only watch this slow-motion car crash unfold with impotent frustration.<\/h5>\n
I suppose it was always on the cards that the Remain headbangers were never going to rest until they\u2019d halted Brexit altogether.<\/h5>\n
Be in no doubt that what we have witnessed is a coup against the people. There may not be tanks on the streets, but it\u2019s a coup all the same. A few hundred MPs have decided to defy the will of the 17,410,742 British citizens who voted to leave the EU. It was the largest number of people to have voted for anything in our proud history.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
But the majority of \u2018Hon members\u2019 have been determined to overturn the referendum result, despite repeatedly promising to \u2018respect\u2019 it. The electorate has been treated with undisguised contempt. If they get away with it \u2014 which they probably will \u2014 Britain will have ceased to be a proper democracy.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Any chance of securing a dignified exit from the EU was scuppered on Wednesday night, when MPs voted to take No Deal off the table.<\/h5>\n
What\u2019s the point of entering any kind of negotiation when your opponents know there\u2019s no chance of you walking away without a deal, no matter how derisory? About the same as agreeing to pay a\u00a0\u00a339 billion bill up front, I guess, without knowing what you\u2019re going to get in return. If you\u2019re not prepared to walk away empty-handed, you\u2019re going to get taken to the cleaners.<\/h5>\n
Promises to respect the referendum result turn out not to be worth the manifestos they are written on.<\/h5>\n
\u201cNo Deal is better than a bad deal,\u201d the Prime Minister assured us. Just another meaningless, insincere pledge.<\/h5>\n
\u201cBrexit means Brexit!\u201d she chanted.<\/h5>\n
Don\u2019t make me laugh.<\/h5>\n
\u201cWe will leave the EU on March 29, 2019!\u201d she swore.<\/h5>\n
In your dreams!<\/em><\/h5>\n

Betrayed<\/h3>\n

In the interests of gallantry, it is almost\u00a0de rigueur<\/em>\u00a0to acknowledge that the Prime Minister has worked hard, done her best in difficult circumstances.<\/h5>\n
But, as I wrote in July 2016 soon after the election, she was never up to the job. Nor was her heart in it. She capitulated to the EU\u2019s demands from the off, drove Leave campaigners from her Cabinet, and relied on unelected civil servants resolutely opposed to Brexit to construct her \u2018deal\u2019.<\/h5>\n
Worst of all, she deceived the British public, for which she deserves never to be forgiven. She\u2019s entitled to humiliate herself, but she\u2019s not entitled to humiliate her country.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
May is by no means the only culprit, though. The 17.4 million Leave voters have been comprehensively betrayed by an unholy, cross-party alliance of MPs, big business, the judiciary and most of the media.<\/h5>\n
Meanwhile, Tony Blair, a former Prime Minister, has been encouraging EU leaders to stand firm against Britain.<\/h5>\n
\u201cTraitor\u201d is a highly-charged word, but how else to describe an ex-PM conspiring with foreign powers to thwart the will of his own people? Maybe Blair still hankers to be President of Europe some day.<\/h5>\n
Ultimately, however, this is about much more than just Brexit. It\u2019s about whether we live in a functioning democracy. Right now, we don\u2019t.<\/h5>\n
Why bother with a second referendum or, even, a General Election? We\u2019ve had both in the past three years and the politicians have simply ignored promises they made at the time.<\/h5>\n
The referendum gave a clear instruction to Leave. At the election, 85 per cent of people voted for parties who promised to respect the referendum result.<\/h5>\n
Yet the overwhelming majority of MPs no longer feel it necessary to honour their manifesto commitments. Once inside the Westminster bubble, they think they can behave as they like, and to blazes with the people who pay their wages.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
This isn\u2019t representative government, it\u2019s revolution. Parliament has rebelled against the people.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Whatever happens now, our democracy is broken. Like Humpty Dumpty, it\u2019s going to be a hell of a job to put it back together again.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\u201cHa ha ha!
\nWe betrayed 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit!
\nF***\u00a0 DEMOCRACY!\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2014\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a7\u00a0 \u00a0\u2014<\/p>\n

If Theresa May had possessed a shred of decency,<\/strong> she should have resigned long ago. Her authority was shot to pieces after her disastrous, self-inflicted general election humiliation, which cost the Tories their majority and ensured that the enemies of Brexit would prevail.<\/h5>\n
She had a second chance to do the decent thing last July when it became apparent that her dismal, defeatist Chequers withdrawal agreement was a shoddy betrayal of her oft-parroted mantra: \u2018Brexit means Brexit.\u2019<\/h5>\n
Instead of respecting the views of those who spoke for the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU, she even threatened to confiscate the ministerial cars of Cabinet dissenters and make them walk home.<\/h5>\n

Vindictive<\/h3>\n

This wasn\u2019t the action of a strong, confident Prime Minister. It was a petty, vindictive attempt at intimidation, worthy of Richmal Crompton\u2019s spoilt brat, Violet Elizabeth Bott, from the Just William books.<\/h5>\n
If Theresa didn\u2019t get her way, she was going to scream and scream and scream until she was sick.<\/h5>\n
This was the real Mrs May: aloof, stubborn, convinced of her own self-righteousness, and contemptuous of others who begged to differ.<\/h5>\n
The idea that here was a woman who could unite the warring Conservative factions was palpable nonsense. She has always had a reputation for ignoring her colleagues, for treating them with lofty disdain.<\/h5>\n
At the Home Office and No. 10, she preferred to defer to her civil servants rather than engage with fellow MPs.<\/h5>\n
When David Davis was Brexit Secretary, she undermined him by ordering her favourite permanent secretary, Olly Robbins, a fanatical Remainer, to draw up a much softer, alternative withdrawal strategy.<\/h5>\n
Her bovine intransigence and constant interference forced both Davis and his successor, Dominic Raab, to resign, along with Leave campaign figurehead Boris Johnson.<\/h5>\n
To lose one prominent Brexiteer may be considered unfortunate, to lose three in quick succession looked like deliberate policy.<\/h5>\n
Regular readers will need no reminding that I\u2019ve never been a fan. Frankly, she\u2019s a pretty hopeless politician, serially over-promoted and with an unwarranted sense of entitlement. Her reputation as a conciliator, a safe pair of hands, is laughable.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Don\u2019t forget, when Tory chairman, she labelled her own party the \u2018nasty party\u2019, a toxic tag it took years to shed.<\/h5>\n
At the Home Office, she was responsible for the Windrush crisis, and scrapping the police\u2019s stop-and-search policy, which brought us the epidemic of knife crime currently claiming teenage lives not just in London but across the country.<\/h5>\n
She managed to convince herself that the main reason Leave won was because people had tired of unfettered immigration. She seems to have bought into the narrative of fellow Remainers, who hold, insultingly, that Brexit voters are all stupid racists who hate foreigners.<\/h5>\n
How little she understands the people she aspired to lead.<\/h5>\n
Immigration was certainly a factor, but overwhelmingly people wanted to be free of the shackles of a corrupt foreign bureaucracy, to stop paying Danegeld to Brussels, and to restore the sovereignty and independence of our proud nation.<\/h5>\n
It was this total lack of comprehension which informed her inept, Quisling-style approach to the withdrawal negotiations and allowed Jean-Claude Drunker and company to run rings round her.<\/h5>\n
Her \u2018Brexit means Brexit\u2019 and \u2018No deal is better than a bad deal\u2019 promises proved utterly worthless.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LIAR!\u00a0 LIAR!
\nKNICKERS\u00a0 ON\u00a0 FIRE!<\/h3>\n
While shedding Brexiteers from her Cabinet, she tacked ever closer to those determined to overturn the democratically expressed will of the British people.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
As we now know beyond argument, the vast majority of the political class have worked cynically to derail our departure and to keep us in perpetuity as prisoners of a sclerotic European superstate.<\/h5>\n
Perhaps all this could have been avoided if we\u2019d had a stronger Prime Minister, one who was determined to keep her word to respect the referendum result, and not a Remainer whose heart was never in Brexit from Day One.<\/h5>\n

Liar<\/h3>\n

You might not believe me, but this is a commentary I\u2019d rather not have written. Honestly, I\u2019d love to have been proven wrong about Mother Theresa.<\/h5>\n
If she\u2019d kept her promises, if she hadn\u2019t lied to the British people, if she\u2019d stood up to the EU and the wreckers of Continuity Remain, if she\u2019d delivered Brexit, I\u2019d have cheered her to the rafters.<\/h5>\n
But she hasn\u2019t.<\/h5>\n
Her deal isn\u2019t the deal 17.4 million people voted for by any stretch of the imagination. It\u2019s a travesty. Whoever comes next, will have the devil\u2019s own job trying to pick up the pieces.<\/h5>\n
Mrs May\u2019s legacy is to have presided over three wasted years of vacillation, obfuscation, cowardice, downright sabotage and the destruction of a once-proud democracy, where MPs used to feel honour-bound to represent the will of the people who paid their wages.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Even if many others share the blame for the dispiriting, depressing, debauched state of British politics, she was the Prime Minister and she must carry the can.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Theresa May, to her eternal disgrace, has turned Britain, one of the world\u2019s greatest economies and military powers, into an international laughing stock.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
She has broken Brexit. And now Brexit has broken her.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
