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.]
To be continued
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.
