A surprisingly shrewd move on the part of Mrs. May in deciding to lift the pay increase embargo on state employees beginning with the police and the prison warders. Those two sectors are likely to be urgently required over the next year as the new Marxist Labour party and their trade union cohorts kick off an a campaign of civil unrest. Bring it on, I say, because the sooner the country sees and feels the chaos and the violence and the extreme danger posed by these latter-day revolutionaries, the better! With 'thickoe' hypocrites like 'Len the Donkey' McCluskey, the boss of the Unite union who earns around £150k a year paid for by his, er, impoverished members who also loaned him £400k to buy a central London flat, then gradually truth will out! Just today this particular numpty has boasted that his stand against the cruel Tory government puts him in the same class as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Ghandi - yeeeees, quite!
Already, The Mail has been digging into some of the other agitators, like the disgusting John McDonnell MP and, God help us (and them), deputy leader of the Labour Party. Leo McKinstry writes:
This is a man who, in the past, has talked of ‘honouring’ IRA terrorists and of ‘garrotting’ a government minister. He once said he’d like to travel back in time and kill Margaret Thatcher — although he later apologised for the comment. More recently, he said Grenfell Tower fire victims were ‘murdered by political decisions’.
Most disturbingly, like the worst kind of totalitarian radical, he loathes the concept of democracy, preferring governance by a revolutionary cadre.
McDonnell does not hide his true feelings having already proclaimed his desire to 'honour' IRA terrorists and, according to The Mail, only four years ago he was reported as saying this:
‘Parliamentary democracy doesn’t work for us, elections aren’t working for us,’ he declared, adding that ‘we want to bring down the Government by whatever mechanism we have’. The weapons of this insurgency, he explained, could include mass demonstration and strikes ‘to bring this country to a standstill’.
Well, bring it on, I say, because there is nothing like mass insurrection and violence to demonstrate - I use that word advisedly! - the true nature of the new Marxist Labour Party. Of course, they will be supported by the usual village idiots but an enormous number of what Lefties sneeringly refer to as the petit bourgeois will cling to Mrs. May's skirts and the new Marxist Labour Party will face a massive defeat at the hands of that very democracy they detest and fear.
The Left on camera never looks good. I noticed the labor movement in France was up to its 'take to the streets' Bolshevic agitprop this week. Until France breaks this power lock they have on their economy, high unemployment will remain. As for Britain and this new Marxist Labor movement...since those clowns like the streets so well, may the authorities find them there and leave them there. Face down.

As Home Secretary May had harsh words for and discontinued funding of the Police Federation. One might suspect an attempt to overcome disenchantment and bolster her own popularity.

Well on the one hand the unions are a shadow of their former selves. On the other May is not Maggie, not close.
So I predict less excitement than was witnessed in the '70s and early '80s

Corby and the Unions are like rabid dogs snapping and snarling to slip the 40 year leash. They have half a century of pent-up lefty authoritarianism to vent on May and her skirt-lingers.
You just unleashed with your June 23rd 2016 vote.
Venezuela will look good by comparison.
The Gaffer seems to relish the prospect. And Pat's in denial.
There is something intrinsically peculiar about the Brexit camp and its mix of motivations. "It's just a flesh wound" type denial, mixed with self-flagellation. Where is it, ah yes ...

This is what it will look like when The Left returns. Mind your brains:

And now Farage threatens terrorism against the EU ...

"the forces of popularism and extremism that Juncker intends to destroy can only grow. My concern is that if there is no valid democratic outlet these frustrations will show themselves in other ways."
Reminds me of Sinn Fein from the 1970's. "We don't condone violence, but we find it understandable."
Peculiar bunch these Brexiteers, but one gets the impression we've seen them all before.

And funny how Farage spent decades arguing that an indirectly chosen executive was a travesty of democracy, and as soon as Junk-the-Drunk proposes an elected executive it's deemed "a power grab"!

Junker also proposes funding for pro-EU political parties, but not for parties deemed unacceptable. Very democratic.
