Normally, I am just very grateful to Mr. Rod Liddle, the sage of 'Speccieland', for making me snigger, or chuckle, or laugh my head off but today he produced from me one long series of snorts of derision. He is, of course, 'a very naughty boy' who has the colossal impudence to hold up for ridicule sundry, er, distinguished 'Remainers' by reminding them of their own words. Take for example - oh go on, take him, please - the deeply dim (well, he was in 'Her Maj's Rock Ape' regiment), Paddy (Pantsdown) Ashdown who said this loud and clear before the referendum:
I will forgive no one who does not respect the sovereign voice of the British people once it has spoken. Whether it is a majority of 1 per cent or 20 per cent, when the British people have spoken, you do what they command. Either you believe in democracy or you don’t.
Or there is the less than delightful Ms. Anna Soubry MP who in 2015, before the referendum, said:
We are trusting the British people. We will go to the people, and let the people decide whether or not to stay within the EU.
Alas, after the wretched 'irredeemables' actually decided, she admitted that though she had been, or pretended to be, fully in favour of a referendum it was:
... only because I thought we would win. Obviously, I wouldn’t have if I thought we would lose.
Then there is old John 'Four-eyes' Major who proclaimed sternly:
There will not be another referendum on Europe. This is it.
Now he has thrown himself - and what remains of his pathetic reputation - behind the Remainer campaign agitating for a second referendum.
Of course, this ragbag collection of lying liars are supported by that 'king of liars', Tony Blair, and his sleazy, slimy, former assistant-perp, Peter Mandelson, a man who was disgraced, not once but twice, whilst acting as a minister of the Crown, and whom you would be well advised to count your fingers after shaking hands with him!
In the famous words of the late, great Terry Thomas, "What an absolute shower!"
Don't forget that the remainers also count among their number a collection of clueless celebrity tossers like Eddie Izzard, Bob Geldof, Tracy Emin, and David Beckham.
