The Government and public must rise above the fear being stoked by the second-vote Remoaner campaign in its frenzy to stop Brexit
Just as our Government attempts to mitigate the disruption of No Deal, Remainer MPs are still trying to stop it
THE public and the Government must rise above the fear being stoked by the second-vote campaign in its frenzy to stop Brexit.
Doom-mongering propaganda is spewed out relentlessly (even as Britain is named the No1 country for business, in the latest global rankings).
Even Cabinet Minister Amber Rudd foolishly helps her brother’s “people’s vote” campaign by blurting out that a new referendum is “plausible” if Theresa May’s deal is rejected. No, Amber, it isn’t.
And now, just as our Government attempts to mitigate the disruption of No Deal — like the increasingly spooked EU and the Irish especially — Remainer MPs try to prevent it ever happening.
One lot systematically sabotaged our negotiating position. Others want to strip us of the power to decline the EU’s dodgy deal and get out. It is appalling.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt says derailing Brexit would be “dangerous for the fabric of democracy” and “disastrous” for the Tories. He’s right.
Some Tory Remainers seem past caring.
Sweet and sour
THE nanny state brigade won’t be satisfied until Mars bars are a ten-quid luxury and broccoli compulsory.
The Sun long ago warned that the fizzy drinks tax was a gateway to punitive levies on every other treat.
Sure enough, chief medical officer Sally Davies now wants taxes on chocolate, crisps, milkshakes, even coffee. She has no shame in bullying the lowest earners into changing lifestyles she disapproves of. “I am chief nanny,” she brags.
Tories should ignore Dame Sally’s snobby hectoring — and be champions of choice.
Holy idiotic
LABOUR’S sole requirement for new MPs nowadays is to worship Corbyn. Hence fruitloops like Fiona Onasanya.
Convicted of perverting justice over her speeding points, she idiotically compares herself to Christ.
“I, Fiona,” she says with impossible grandness, “sought to be the voice of change. This may now take a different path.” It may . . . all the way to prison.
Onasanya cannot cling to office.
She must do the decent thing: resign.

Rough justice
THE derisory sentence for millionaire killer John Broadhurst is sickening.
He battered lover Natalie Connolly, sprayed bleach in her face and left her bleeding and with 40 injuries.
Yet the CPS swallowed his claim it was a consensual “rough sex” game — even though Natalie was helplessly drunk . . . and never lived to tell her story.
Broadhurst got just three years, eight months in jail. He could be free in two.
