I am in despair for my country – because I believe we are possibly witnessing the death of democracy in this country. This is not just BINO (Brexit In Name Only) but DINO (Democracy In Name Only). - David Robertson, TheWeeFlea.com
Corbyn has not only sold out his own principles, he is prepared to sell out his country – for power.-- David Robertson, TheWeeFlea.com
John Bercow – One of the major factors of this Parliamentary mess is the smug, pompous, bullying speaker – Mr Bercow, who was quite happy to have a “Bollocks to Brexit” sticker on his car. He has done his utmost to undermine Brexit and to facilitate it being stopped and in so doing has compromised the neutrality of the role of Speaker of the House of Commons. The latest example is today when Bercow did not permit an amendment on preventing a second referendum – despite it being signed by 127 MPs from three different parties. He is using his position to further his own politics. And he is only able to stay in that position, because despite his bullying (especially to women) he is considered to be too valuable to ‘the cause’.- David Robertson, TheWeeFlea.com
The bottom line in this is that some 500 MPs out of 650 are Remainers whereas 2/3 of their constituencies voted Leave. They gave us a vote not expecting that we would vote ‘the wrong way’. Since then, egged on by almost the whole of the political, media, educational and arts establishments, they have been desperately hunting for a way to reverse our vote.

I was reading Chrysostom this morning on the importance of leaders having good characters. He argues that if they don’t know how to govern their own souls, how can they govern cities and nations? It’s the character of our leaders that is the major problem. A system is only as good as those who run it. Where are the men and women of integrity, courage, intelligence and humility who will lead our nations?- David Robertson, TheWeeFlea.com
