Together with, as we also predicted, the giant commercial benefits for the person, relatives and associates of Donald Trump, the impending conclusion of the war in Ukraine, on the terms that some of us had predicted from the start, is not going down well with one Fred Thomas, who is apparently a Labour MP, and who has tweeted this libel.
That he is yet another close friend of Ivor Caplin is yet another reason why not even his having unseated Johnny Mercer can make Thomas an attractive character. Rather than say nothing, as the real thing do, he does that "nudge nudge, wink wink, I could tell you but I'd have to kill you" routine about his military service, which is always the sign of a Walter Mitty. In 2001, Jeremy Corbyn led a protest against Vladimir Putin in London. In 2008, Corbyn accused Putin of rigging elections. In 2010, Corbyn called for Putin's assets in Britain to be frozen. In 2012, Corbyn called for a Magnitsky Act. In 2013, he called for a bar on the Russian Arms Corps. In 2016, as Leader of the Opposition, he accused Putin of war crimes in Syria. And in 2022, Corbyn condemned the invasion of Ukraine. Please, please, please, let him and Nigel Farage both sue this Thomas person at the same time. It would be customary to say that it would take a heart of stone not to laugh. But I famously have a heart of stone, and I am already laughing my head off.
In recent days, the Blairites have lost both the Supreme Court, and the Equality and Human Right Commission. In recent hours, those who would have welcomed Renaud Camus have been confronted with the question of how Britain could be incapable of controlling its borders if it could deny him entry, while those who had imposed that ban have been confronted with the fact that it would have been impossible without Brexit. And in the coming months, many who had opposed Bovaer, and many who were crowing at the ban on bringing back meat or dairy products from the EU, will have to explain why they welcomed a situation in which, "The product labels aren't going to make it clear that you are eating American chlorinated chicken or hormone beef, or GM crops, or products grown with UK-banned pesticides, or dyed with UK-banned colourings that might make your kids hyper." It would be customary to say that it would take a heart of stone not to laugh. But I famously have a heart of stone, and I am laughing my head off.
Have Two sitting Members of Parliament ever sued a Third sitting MP?
ReplyDeleteNot two, that I can recall. But Rupert Lowe is already suing Nigel Farage and Lee Anderson. And Corbyn is already suing Farage.
DeleteThe ECHR delivered the antisemitism scam for the Blairites but this week they lost it.
ReplyDeleteGeorge talked about "full fart milk not low fart milk" during the Bovaer controversy so the Workers Party is sound across all the food safety issues.
On both points, quite so.
DeleteAnd then there is the question of halal meat. Chlorinated chicken and hormone beef, but not that? Kosher meat, which Muslims are permitted to eat when halal meat was not available, but not that? The latter point will split the Far Right, and no doubt already does. But if you were not of the Far Right, what then?
Thomas was nine years old in 2001, still in school in 2008, left school in 2010. He needs to be taught a lesson.
ReplyDeleteGood and hard.
