Do you remember the fleeting moment when we hoped the Queen would refuse what was obviously a bogus request for prorogation? But no, she complied. The BBC is servile & compliant. The Supreme Court passed its test but just look at the flak it got & who directed it. What .. https://twitter.com/DavidJohnGlenn1/status/1198741054473814016

.. about the Conservative party? Why didn’t it split when Johnson took over? Just 20 or so lost or resigned the whip, with 300 obediently toeing the line & serving a corrupt administration bent on doing this country great harm.

Leadsom, Gove & ..

.. pulled their reprehensible stunt on the day of the PV march, a Reichstag fire moment. The Russian report is suppressed in yet another affront to public scrutiny. A rabid press barks its support.

How about the police? Can they be relied upon to be firm in upholding the law?

.. The dithering over electoral fraud & suspension of the Arcuri enquiry do not inspire confidence, nor does Dick’s acceptance of a damehood (and we know how Johnson regards the honours system, thanks to the Brexit loons). Nothing has been done about the prorogation either,..

.. an illegal operation IMO. That just leaves the army, whose senior ranks are drawn from the same social strata as Johnson & which has reason to be grateful to the Tories for protecting it from prosecutions for past misdeeds.

On the whole, a coup here is not that. ..

.. improbable. Return Johnson with a majority & we will likely see the curtailment of various rights & freedoms including:

• the right to strike
• erosion of human rights
• loss of employment protections
• reform of the Supreme Court,
..

..
• reduction of the powers of the House of Commons (already foreshadowed by Andrea Leadsom’s revealing recent complaint)
• repressive criminal justice (return of the death penalty ... ?)

and who knows what besides.

Steve Bannon, referencing the rise of ‘nationalism & ..

.. populism’ (= fascism), told us we have seen nothing yet. These are dangerous times. Which fork in the road will we take? We get to find out in just over two weeks.
