Scargill Calls for the Left to Oppose Remain MPs
You must log in or register to see images

Former leader of the National Union of Mineworkers, Arthur Scargill, has called on all socialists to oppose any Labour MPs wanting to stay in the European Union. Good old traditional Labour…
Scargill proffered his Brexit call to arms at a meeting of the left-wing Brexit Group, Leave Fight Transform (LeFT), saying “every single MP who wants us to go back into Europe should be opposed… that is my view, as a socialist, as a Marxist”.
Scargill went even further, criticising his former comrade, Jeremy Corbyn, for his Brexit u-turn from opposing the Lisbon Treaty to now creating a pro-EU Labour Party that is “indistinguishable from the 21 MPs who have left the Tory Party”. This will be an easy point for Boris to score at the next PMQs…

Now we’re clear why Parliament objected to prorogation.
They had Urgent Questions on hate words.
Keep it up dickheads.
34 days to go.

Very early. After all, great effort was expended to reopen Parliament so they could something something oversight something something scrutiny
 
There is a slight semantic difference in that ''unlawfull'' means either not authorized or that there is no existing law which allows the action - whereas ''breaking the law'' means knowingly going against an existing law. Essentially they are the same thing ie. not living according to the law. In either case Bojo still believes he is above such matters of detail - or worse he does not acknowledge the separation of powers essential to any democracy.
If there is no existing law which allows the action, ergo there is also no law which prohibits the action, so how can he have broken a law which doesn’t exist, and no they are clearly not the same thing, because if they were it wouldn’t be unlawful it would be breaking the law.
Nice try old chap, but in essence you’ve proved yourself to be wrong .
 
For ****'s sake Kiwi, give it a rest.

Posting all your usual cut and paste right wing propaganda doesn't change the fact that, whilst there may be many examples of people of the left saying things they shouldn't have, it is not in the same league as what we are seeing from this deeply nasty Johnson Tory party. This is a government deliberately carrying out a campaign of hateful incendiary language with the express purpose of inciting animosity and exacerbating division. Violence will surely follow and Johnson will have blood on his hands.

In Kiwis defence he tends to post left wing stuff as well occasionally.
