Brexit - Hypocritical Vaudeville Acts
Who are they and what are they like ? let's find out
What we have here is a cast of drawling, trouser-flapping, expostulating oddities. harrumphing hypocrites, plutocratic class warriors, rip off merchants and the blithely bogus pieties that make up the official wing of the Conservative party - In short a basket case of double dealers.
Here is a list of just some of the people who have torched their principles, joined Johnson’s bandwagon and accepted both prorogation and a likely no-deal Brexit.
Nicky Morgan said she would refuse to serve in any government led by Johnson and that prorogation was “clearly a mad suggestion”.
You cannot say you are going to take back control … and then go: ‘Or, by the way, we are just going to shut parliament down for a couple of months, so we are just going to drift out on a no deal’,”
Now Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in the Johnson cabinet. A woman who cracks the whip of insincerity with a smile
Amber Rudd said that a no-deal Brexit would cause ‘generational damage to the economy’ and that prorogation would be “outrageous”.
“The idea of leaving the EU to take back more control into parliament and to consider the idea of closing parliament to do that is the most extraordinary idea I’ve ever heard,” she said.
Now Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in the Johnson government but,but on the road to Damascus she saw a dimming light and resigned
Jo Johnson the PM’s brother, said that a no-deal Brexit would “inflict untold damage on our nation”. Now Minister of State for Education who recently caught his brother by the goolies and decided it was time to go
Sajid Javid said that prorogation would be “trashing democracy” and “the work of a dictator”. Now Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Bojo administration - now appears to support dictatorships and trashing democracy! Javid a master of nothingness, pretence and posturing
Michael ‘The Backstabber’ Gove, now chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was also against suspending parliament, told the BBC’s Andrew Marr show: “I think it will be wrong for many reasons. I think it would not be true to the best traditions of British democracy.
“We didn’t vote to leave without a deal. That wasn’t the message of the campaign I helped to lead.” Gove expertise lies in the department of codology and deception that is apparent to one and all
Andrea Leadsom
Asked in July if she would go along with a plan to suspend parliament to ensure a no-deal Brexit, Leadsom, a leading supporter of Boris Johnson, and now the business secretary, said: “No I don’t believe I would and I don’t believe it would happen.”
Matt Hancock
Matt Hancock, said the idea of suspending parliament “goes against everything those men who waded onto those beaches fought & died for – and I will not have it”.
Hancock wrote to parliament parliament on 6 June, saying that “England is the mother of all parliaments – respected as such around the free world”.
“To suspend Parliament explicitly to pursue a course of action against its wishes is not a serious policy of a prime minister in the 21st Century,” the letter said.
Now Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and I suspect had little respect for the men who fought and died - A leading member of the false virtue society
Liz Truss
The international trade secretary and longtime Johnson defender told the BBC’s Emily Maitlis in June that the idea of suspending parliament was an “archaic manoeuvre” that Johnson had already ruled out. “He wants to bring parliament with him,” she said. She was asked: “He’s definitely ruling out proroguing or suspending parliament, is that right?” Her answer was: “That’s right.” now liz how many rights make a wrong ? A leading light of the empty talk wing of the party
Dominic Cummings best known as instigator of that infamous £350m slogan on the Leave campaign bus, was held to be in contempt of Parliament after he refused to appear before a select committee investigating the spread of fake news during the EU referendum. Now he is the unelected and unaccountable – but all-powerful – senior adviser of an unelected Prime Minister. A devotee of the Pharisaism doctrine of Cummings
Jacob Rees Mogg - Is rewarded by Johnson by being appointed as Leader of the House of Commons.despite having rebelled against the Tory whip almost 100 times in nine years.
Some previous form
May I congratulate the Prime Minister(Teresa May) on winning the confidence of the Conservatives in this House last week and assure her that she, therefore, commands my confidence too.
I am a loyal Conservative and that requires me to support the prime minister and I'll do so enthusiastically and this isn't hedging about, she is our leader and I will support her.
just one week after she won the confidence vote.
She clearly doesn't have the confidence of the House of Commons and she should make way for someone who does.
She ought to go and see the Queen urgently and resign.
Rees-Mogg is against abortion in all circumstances, stating: "life begins at the point of conception.
In October 2017 it was reported that Somerset Capital Management, of which Rees-Mogg was a partner, had invested £5m in a company that produces and markets pills designed to treat stomach ulcers but widely used in illegal abortions in Indonesia. Rees-Mogg defended the investment by arguing that the company in question "obeys Indonesian law so it's a legitimate investment and there's no hypocrisy
Rees-Mogg firm moves his funds to Dublin
In 2018 Somerset Capital opened an investment fund in Dublin. The new business prospectus listed Brexit as one of the risks, as it could cause "considerable uncertainty". Rees-Mogg, a partner of the business who does not make investment decisions, defended the move, stating: "The decision to launch the fund was nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.
JRM is a strong runner in the ace of hypocrites stakes
Bojo the Truth Slayer
Bojo’s casual relationship with the truth
1.Fired from The Times for inventing a quote
Within months of starting a job at Times, which he got through family connections, he was sacked.
In his first front page story, he invented a quote from an academic. The academic, who happened to be Johnson’s own godfather, complained.
Instead of apologising then, Johnson wrote a further story saying the “mystery had deepened”.
He was sacked by the Times but, through knowing its editor from Oxford, got a job at the Telegraph.
2. When he was sacked from the Tory front bench for lying about an affair.
Johnson denied having an affair with journalist Petronella Wyatt, saying: “I have not had an affair with Petronella. It is complete balderdash.”
However, Wyatt and her mother said the affair did happen and she had to have an abortion as a result.
A spin doctor to the then Tory leader Michael Howard decided Johnson had lied to them and sacked him from his role as party vice chair and shadow arts minister.
3. When he said the UK gives £350m a week to the EU
During the referendum campaign, Johnson was repeatedly pictured with a bus saying that the UK gave the EU £350m a week.
When an ITV reporter told him it wasn’t true, he repeatedly said that it was.
According to the UK Statistics Authority, this figure should be £289m a week and, more importantly, it doesn’t include what the EU gives the UK.
Nevertheless, Johnson continued to repeat the lie at least until 2017. The chair of the UK statistics authority wrote a public letter to him accusing him of a “clear misuse of official statistics”.
4. When he lied about Turkey joining the EU
Johnson was on the core group of the campaign committee of Vote Leave. A common Vote Leave campaign poster said “Turkey (population 76m) is joining the EU”.
Johnson himself wrote to Cameron to say: “The public will draw the reasonable conclusion that the only way to avoid having common borders with Turkey is to vote leave and take back control on 23 June,”
While there has been talk of Turkey joining the EU for decades, according to Full Fact, it is very unlikely to join any time soon.
As an EU member, the UK would have been able to veto Turkish membership if it ever did get close to joining.
5. When he lied about the EU’s kipper regulations
At the final Tory leadership hustings, he said “Brussels bureaucrats” rules meant kippers must be sent with a plastic ice pillow, thus increasing costs.
According to Full Fact, this is “incorrect”. The temperature requirement is a UK one.
6. When he promoted fracking
Johnson claimed: “There have been 125,000 fracks in the US, and not a single complaint to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).”
Full Fact say: “This is just not true. The EPA is currently examining the impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources.
7. During the recent G7 meeting in Biarritz the No 10 press team issued a statement saying ‘the claim that the Government is considering proroguing parliament in September in order to stop MPs debating Brexit is entirely false’. Four days later, Johnson announced the prorogation
8. Bojo – voted against his own government a few months ago – greeted a rebellion of Conservative grandees by expelling all of them, throwing his party into turmoil - talk about double standards
9. He calls the backstop "anti-democratic" but is simultaneously willing to subvert the UK parliament in order to deliver Brexit on October 31 yet managed to previously vote for the Withdrawal Agreement.
Brexiter: Jim Ratcliffe, UK’s richest man, plans tax exile in Monaco
The Sunday Times disclosed that the prominent Brexiteer, who built up the chemicals giant Ineos, has been working with the accountant PwC on the tax avoidance plan. This would see him and senior executives Andy Currie and John Reece legally share between £1bn and £10bn tax-free, depriving the Treasury of between £400m and £4bn.
Brexiteer:John Redwood MP andChief Global Strategist for Charles Stanley.
John Redwood, advises investors to remove their money from the United Kingdom.
The same man honourably voted against equal gay rights. He bravely voted against equality/human rights. He chivalrously voted against rights of EU nationals living in the UK. He nobly voted for cuts in welfare benefits...he gallantly voted against spending public money to create jobs for young unemployed people, he heroically voted for mass surveillance, he kindly voted against measures to prevent climate change, he graciously voted against the hunting ban…

Brexiter: Nigel Lawson seeks French residency
Brexiter: Sir James Dyson in the Sun in August ‘let’s be bold and show a spirit of independence, enterprise, and optimism in regards to Brexit’
Dyson had chosen to take £16 million of taxpayers’ money for the development of a new electric car out of the country for development.
This is the man who’s constantly talked up Brexit and then upped sticks and left for Singapore
Betting against their political views
Brexiteers: Crispin Odey, and Marshall Wace,Sir Paul Marshall
Of Odey Asset Management, have declared short positions against consumer-exposed companies
The hedge fund run by Odey, one of the most outspoken of the Brexit-backing hedge fund managers, holds a short position in Intu
In total, his hedge fund, with headquarters in Mayfair, has taken out £436m worth of declared short positions against British companies, of which nearly £150m are consumer-facing entities.
Odey, who made an estimated £220m overnight in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote, said he was betting against sterling to fall as far as $1.21 against the US dollar. So far the pound’s low point this year was just below $1.27. Odey also had short positions on UK government bonds
Brexiteer: Marshall Wace, one of the UK’s largest hedge funds
holds declarable short positions equivalent to just under £1.4bn – more than any other investor in Britain.
Marshall Wace has also bulked up its Dublin operations, where it has received fund management licences, as a protection against the risk of being prevented from servicing EU clients after Brexit.
Brexiteer :Jeremy Hosking, one of the co-founders of the Marathon hedge fund who now runs Hosking Partners, invests in company stocks around the world. Hosking donated more than £1.5m to Brexit-related organisations, including Vote Leave.
Brexit’s mass exodus
The exodus
Figures show that 73 members have changed party affiliation – including becoming independent or joining a new party – since Theresa May was elected with a minority government in 2017. Phillip Lee, the pro-remain MP for Bracknell, crossed the floor of the House of Commons to join the Lib Dems on Tuesday. The seven MPs who left the Labour party to form an Independent Group owing to concerns about anti-Semitism in the party and Brexit are also included within the figures, as is Chuka Ummuna’s switch from Change UK to independent and then to Liberal Democrat.
Well now you get the picture of what this is all about
