Intolerant Undemocrats say ‘boll**ks’ to the folks within the identify of ‘liberalism’ and ‘democracy’
The Liberal Democrats convention in Bournemouth has proven us the place ‘liberalism’ is right now, and it’s a reasonably darkish place. When you’ve got the improper (i.e. unenlightened) views, the occasion which preaches ‘tolerance’ won’t tolerate you.
Britain in 2019 presents a topsy-turvy political panorama straight out of a Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy Opera. ‘Conservatives’ who don’t preserve something. ‘Luxurious communists’ who oppose communism. And Liberal Democrats who aren’t very liberal, or very democratic.
The Lib Dem convention needed to be seen to be believed – and even then it was scarcely plausible.
First, there was the occasion’s resolution to cancel Brexit, with out even a second referendum.
In saying ‘Boll**ks’ to Brexit, and pledging to scrap Article 50 on their ‘first day in energy’ – if that ever occurs – the Lib Dems are successfully saying ‘Boll**ks’ to the 17.four million individuals who, rightly or wrongly, voted to depart the European Union in 2016, a big proportion of whom had been working class and/or aged.
The coverage may maybe have been mitigated by a transparent assertion that the occasion understood the rationale why folks voted for Brexit. However no. Get together sources even confirmed to the Every day Mirror that the Lib Dems would ignore the results of any second referendum if Depart gained once more. So, it actually doesn’t matter what number of time Britons specific their need to depart the EU, the Lib Dems will simply ignore it. All within the identify of ‘liberalism’ and ‘democracy.’

You see, the Lib Dems know significantly better than the 70 p.c of over 55s in courses ‘D’ and ‘E,’ and the 60 p.c of the unemployed who voted Depart. They’re terribly superior. And that’s the massive drawback with fashionable ‘liberalism.’ It insists that you could have the ‘proper’ attitudes, or else you don’t have any say by any means. Whether or not it’s bombing Libya again to the Stone Age, imposing austerity, or making an attempt to implement a really ‘politically appropriate’ mind-numbing cultural conformity, militant liberalism (and I’m not simply referring to the Lib Dems right here) has turn into as excessive an ideology as these which it routinely assaults. Repeat after me: Within the identify of ‘tolerance’ something we don’t approve of won’t be tolerated.
The Lib Dems have welcomed into the fold various right-wing defectors from the Tories and Labour who share its extraordinarily slender and oh-so-superior worldview. Step ahead to the rostrum one Chuka Umunna, a person who’s been in additional events this calendar 12 months than Kate Moss. Chuka began the 12 months as a semi-detached, uber-Blairite Labour MP. He then resigned in February to type the ‘Unbiased Group.’ That was renamed to Change UK, however in June, there was one other change as Chuka left Change UK to turn into an unbiased. He then modified once more, and joined the Lib Dems. And it’s nonetheless solely September!
On the convention this week, Umunna made a speech on international coverage that would have been scripted by the outdated neocon war-hawk John Bolton. Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn was denounced as an ‘apologist’ for the Russian authorities. The Lib Dems are terribly anti-racist, however attacking Russia is just not solely acceptable, it’s de rigueur.
Umunna, a former ‘Labour Buddy of Israel,’ additionally claimed – with none sense of irony – that Corbyn ‘can’t be a champion of liberalism.’ If that’s certainly true, it will solely make one like Corbyn extra. As a result of which first rate individual would want to be referred to as a ‘champion of liberalism’ in 2019, seeing what ‘liberalism’ means right now?
It’s not simply in Britain the place ‘liberals’ are as much as no good. Belgium, too, appears badly troubled. The Lib Dem convention in Bournemouth welcomed Man Verhofstadt, the MEP who joined Donald Trump (whom he had beforehand criticized), in recognizing Juan Guaido because the ‘solely legitimately elected consultant of the Venezuelan folks’ earlier this 12 months. In true fashionable ‘liberal’ virtue-signaling vogue, he posed on Twitter with a flag declaring Guaido Presidente.
.@jguaido is the one legitimately elected lead consultant of the Venezuelan folks & @FedericaMog ought to recognise him as such!
.@jguaido es el único líder representante del pueblo venezolano elegido legítimamente y @FedericaMog ¡debería reconocerlo como tal! #Venezuela pic.twitter.com/gTSTvCGeuI

It most likely by no means occurred to him that as a Belgian he had zero proper to declare who was or who wasn’t the legit ruler of Venezuela – in the identical means a Venezuelan politician would haven’t any proper to declare who was or wasn’t the legit ruler of Belgium. However European ‘liberals’ suppose they’ve the proper to anoint leaders around the globe. Vanity doesn’t are available to it.
This week in Bournemouth, Verhofstadt talked of empires. “The world of tomorrow is a world of empires, wherein we Europeans and also you British can solely defend your pursuits, your lifestyle, by doing it collectively in a European framework and a European Union,” he enthused.

It’s all fairly ironic as a result of we had been advised that Depart supporters had been the empire nostalgists. It seems Europe’s chief Remainer is sort of a fanboy too. However it’s tremendous as a result of he needs an ‘empire of the nice,’ run little doubt by individuals who put on T-shirts which say ‘Boll**ks’ to issues they don’t like. OK, yah?
Simply once you thought issues couldn’t get any extra Orwellian, they did. The Lib Dem chief Jo Swinson, having made thousands and thousands of Britons very offended by her occasion saying ‘Boll**ks’ to them, and pledging to defeat ‘populism’ (i.e. democracy), stated she would put ‘happiness’ on the coronary heart of her occasion’s agenda and would even think about appointing a ‘happiness minister.’
If there’s one factor that will actually make us glad, Ms Swinson, it’s the crushing defeat of intolerant, undemocratic, and really sanctimonious fashionable ‘liberalism.’
