As
Marx said, history does have the ... A Very
British
Coup revolved around a conspiracy by the
military, the media, big business and M15...
RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: So
this is what a very British coup looks like
SOME
of you will recall the novel
A Very British Coup,
subsequently
made into an award-winning television series
on Channel 4.
It was
written by Labour MP Chris Mullin, published
in 1982, and revolved around a conspiracy by
the
MILITARY-THE MEDIA-BIG BUSINESS-M15
to
bring down a Left-wing government.
At the
time, the plot was entirely credible, since
Britain was riven by strikes and revolution
was in the air. I read the book as a young
labour and industrial correspondent, and it
made sense to me.
The Bennites were
in the ascendancy, Margaret Thatcher was
horribly unpopular and it looked as if the
wizened Hampstead Leftie Michael Foot-Worzel
Gummidge, as Private Eye dubbed him-would be
our next Prime Minister.
Mullin's assumptions
were based on hard fact. In the
Seventies there had been well-founded
reports about the Establishment plot to
depose Labour's Harold Wilson.
In some
quarters, there were even rumblings of a
military coup.
A couple of years ago,
when the un reconstructed Bennite Jeremy
Corbyn became leader, Mullen talked about
writing a sequel. He imagined the Funny
People orchestrating a putsch to thwart a
democratically elected Corbyn government.
Trouble is, history has a habit of not
working out as you expect. Although, as Marx
said, history does have the capacity to
repeat itself, first as tragedy, then as
farce. That's where we are right now. Except
tragedy and farce are running in tandem.
WE are in the middle of
A VERY BRITISH COUP
but not as
Mullin predicted. What we're seeing is an
elaborate, well-financed and coordinated
plot to overturn as extreme Left-wing Prime
Minister
BUT
the
democratically expressed will of the British
people.
It's being
mounted by the Government of the day, aided
and abetted by Big Business and the Civil
Service.
[A repeat
of 1970's-again by a supposed Conservative
Government.]
THIS
is A Very BRITISH
Coup, only written by
Lewis Carroll not Chris
Mullin. In our new
Looking Glass World,
words mean-as Humpty
Dumpty declared-whatever
they want them to mean.
Thus the dwindling band of
MPs sticking uo for the
17.4 MILLION who voted
LEAVE
are
condemned as plotters and rebels
Those, including Theresa
May, who are doing everything in their power
to
PREVENT
BRITAIN LEAVING THE EU
and becoming once again a
PROUD SOVEREIGN NATION
are hailed
absurdedly as true patriots
As I've said often enough,
just because your paranoid, it doesn't mean
they're not out to get you.
About the only thing upon
which I've ever agreed with Ken Livingstone
- apart from cheap Tube fares - was when he
wrote a book called
If Voting Changed Anything
They'd Abolish it. The Establishment seems
hell-bent on proving
him
Right
over Brexit .
[The EDP
has over decades seen much evidence of this
very fact and though continually bringing
evidence to the surface nobody appears to be
interested whether it is lack of Bobbies
-on-the beat - Health Service in
crisis-Pot-holes-closed Police
Stations...Britons on worst State Pensions
in the Europe-even Portugal is marginally
more. And a bloated -wasteful and grotesque
so-called FOREIGN AID which even some
regimes as recipients have requested to be
stopped .
I told you the day
after the referendum that the fix was
already in . Now they're on the final
furlongs
We're being informed, in
no uncertain fashion that
OUR VOTES
ARE WORTHLESS
that they
don't count.
WE'RE TOO IGNORANT, TOO
UNEDUCATED, TOO RACIST
To be taken seriously.
Politicians who try to square the circle are
vilified.
One minute Dominic Raab,
who attempted to make a go of being Brexit
Secretary, is a principled pragmatic
operator of the highest praise.
The next, when he is
forced to resign because Mother Theresa has
deliberately undermined his position and
then lied about it, he's dismissed as a
disloyal traitor. And If I hear anyone else
demanding a second
'People's
Vote'
I'll scream.
All they want to do is
reverse the referendum result or give us
three options so they can split the
LEAVE VOTE
To be honest, I can't take
much more of this patronising guff. The
Beeb's idea of discerning commentators these
days seems to extend no further than
'Baroness' Shameless Chuckabutty, Potty
Toynbee and Mad Alastair Campbell, the
author of the dodgy dossier which took into
an
ILLEGAL
WAR IN IRAQ.
As I
believe I may have observed before. Campbell
is the only bloke I know with a certificate
to prove he's sane.
And
don't get me started on
the CBI which throughout
my career has been wrong
about everything from
joining the euro to the
Thatcher reforms. The
CBI speaks only for
monopolistic,
multinational megacorps,
not the small-to-medium
businesses which are the
backbone of our economy
and always get the rough
end of the
pineapple from Brussels
- even though they don't
sell so much as a brass
washer outside British
borders.
Twenty-five-odd years ago,
covering a CBI conference in Glasgow, I
watched the chairman of Dunlop taking the
stage wearing a kilt and waving a Union
Jack, as part of an I'm Backing Britain
campaign. The following week he sold the
company to the Japanese.
These are the same people
bnow claiming to have British interests at
the heart of their determination to
KEEP US SHACKLED TO
THE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC EU
The
final straw came when the arrogant Amber
Rudd was restored to Government over the
weekend and immediately demanded loyalty and
unity around Mrs May's 'deal'. Her
commitment to 'loyalty' hasn't stopped her
trashing Cabinet colleagues in the past.
This
fanatically pro-EU women who oozes an
inter-galactic sense of entitledment
from every pore, is the sister of the PR
spiv Roland Rudd, who is paid a small
fortune to run
PROJECT
FEAR
on
behalf of his well-healed clients.
Just
imagine if one of Boris's siblings was
cashing in on
BREXIT.
The calls from Remainers
for the police to investigate would be
deafening. By Sunday, I'd had enough and
reached the point where I came over all Tom
Robinson.
I've given
up reading the papers,
I've given
up watching TV.
LOOK,
I repeat, for those of you who missed it the
first time round, even tungsten-tipped hard
Brexiteers like me accept there will have to
be some concessions if we're going to escape
from the EU straitjacket.
And I do
think the prospect of a Marxist Corbynista
government is too horrible to contemplate.
But I also believe its
1992 all over again. This is Mother
Theresa's
BLACK WEDNESDAY
MOMENT
WHATEVER
HAPPENS NEXT
THE TORIES
ARE SHOT TO PIECES.
All trust and
confidence in them has drained away and
we're looking at a Labour government by
default whenever the next election is called
Most of the 17.4 million who
believe they have been betrayed will simply
stay at home, or drift back to Labour.
Democracy will be the ultimate casualty of
this shabby debacle.
The
pathetic defeatest dog's breakfast of an
agreement
which
Mother Theresa is trying to force down our
throats isn't worthy of the description
'deal'.
It is a
monstrous capitulation and will be etched on
her political gravestone, even if she does
manage to get it, or a version thereof,
through Parliament.
Where do
we go from here?
I haven't
a clue.
But at
least we now know exactly
what a
Very
British Coup
LOOKS
LIKE.
