Farage has compounded my point about him being a dangerous demagogue with his next round of bile.
He's claiming that he'll lead a 100,000 strong march to the doors of The Supreme Court on the day of the Article 50 ruling.
It's to ensure that they get what they want, apparently.

In bad news for the slimy ****house, the CPS are considering accusations that the Leave campaign intentionally mislead voters.
The result would still be untouched, but individuals could face prosecution.
Seems rather unlikely though, as the bullshitters in The Commons would be terrified of the implications.

And who are UKIP supporters blaming for this latest turn of events?
According to The UKIP Society Facebook page, it's down to that old favourite, the Jews.

Anyone surprised? No, didn't think so.

It's called hypocrisy.

These are the same people who were crying about democracy when there was mere mention of a rerun of the referendum due to the blatant lies told by the leave campaign.

Now it suits them, they want to see the correct democratic process avoided altogether.

All they need to do is to have a vote in Parliament. The High Court case just said that they couldn't rely on some archaic power to circumvent that.

What are they afraid of?

The media calling them traitors and calling for the people to rise up, judging by the last few days.

I agree, Luke. What is she so afraid of? Why is she so keen to circumvent parliament?

As we don't know for sure, the assumption must be that it's something she knows that parliament will not buy.

She only has a very small majority and a half dozen of her own party voting against could see her plans defeated.

From the MPs that declared which way they were voting, it's 479 to 158 in favour of remain, apparently.
You can see what she's worried about.

Says a lot about UKIP supporters that they think Judaism and the judiciary are the same thing...

The 2016 US Presidential Election, otherwise known as the time the American people may as well have been asked if they’d prefer to be fisted by a grizzly bear or by a polar bear - it doesn’t matter which way you vote, either way you have a large wild animal with non-retractable claws with its paw wedged firmly inside a place where bears really shouldn’t be shoving their paws, and the only way to choose one over the other is rationalising that the grizzly’s paw will be more or less the same colour going in as it will be when it comes back out.

In your analogy, the choice literally seems that it will be made on the colour of the
bear fur and nothing else.
 
Isn't it wonderful how politicians keep us on the straight and narrow........? Mother said there would be days like this.
