The irony shouldn’t be lost on us that many of the MPs now warning us that “Democracy is under threat” were the same MPs who for several years tried to stop the result of the EU referendum - one of the biggest democratic exercises in our history - being implemented.
@PaulEmbery Brexit was the biggest undemocratic exercise in british modern history. Govt pushed through brexit based on a wafer thin majority and a result sold on the basis of a pack of lies.
@PaulEmbery @MentalMackem45 Everyone on the leave side told us we would not leave the single market. Everyone. And yet we left it Did they disrespect the democratic vote too?
@PaulEmbery Brexit has completely shattered this country. If it had been sold honestly (it wasn’t as you know), and if it had delivered in even a tenth of its promises, we would not be where we are now. A project by liars that has delivered crap, and now most oppose it. Have some humility.
@PaulEmbery Brexit was the result of a proven, intensive campaign of misinformation to the general public. Perpetrated by those who own the media, and who work in the media. And that certainly includes yourself. It was not democratic. It was a dark money funded con job.
@PaulEmbery It shouldn't be lost on us, that they're worried about the end of the two party scam than they are about actual extremism. That's the only reason they're holding hands and shouting about shared values because they don't like how the ballot went.
@PaulEmbery Great post Paul, I completely lost faith in the whole system
@PaulEmbery A big non-binding opinion poll is not democracy. Parliament is, and always was, sovereign.
@PaulEmbery Could it have anything to do with their physical person and livelihood not being threatened then?
