BOJO. The end.

That ones very easy to answer Sinkov.
We're not.

Hmmm, a Political Scientist Dr Lawrence Britt wrote an article about Fascism, he listed it's 14 characteristics, I was surprised to find a worrying number applied, in varying degrees, to the LibDems.

1)"Powerful and Continuing Nationalism."
"constant use of slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays."

Not the nation state in this case but the EU Superstate. Every news broadcast sees a forest of EU flags in the background, EU painted faces, EU T shirts, some tw@t playing a glockenspiel.

2)"Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights".

You can't really show more disdain for someone's rights than to tell him his democratic vote is worthless, will be ignored and overturned.

3)"Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause".

All those racist, right-wing, bigoted Little Englanders, better make a stand against those eh, not to mention all those over 50s, voting selfishly to deny the younger generations their rightful future in the EU.

4)"Controlled Mass Media."
"Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation"

The LibDems were enthusiastic supporters of the obnoxious Hacked Off campaign and Leveson, a blatant attempt to muzzle our free press and put it under statutory regulation, even to the extent of having the likes of Coogan and Grant speaking at LibDem conferences.

5)"Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses."

Project Fear, scare the voting public ****less with a pack of lies about what fate will befall them if they vote to leave the EU.

6)"Corporate Power is Protected."
"The industrial and business aristocracy often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite."

The EU in a nutshell. How do you think those unelected Commissioners who run the EU get those sinecures, we don't vote for them, we don't elect them.

7)"Rampant Cronyism and Corruption.
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability."

19 MPs, of whom only 12 were elected as LibDems, have any of the others offered themselves for re-election, have they feck, they're in Parliament under false pretences, they're corrupt. 90 odd LibDem peers in the House of Lords, how did so many get there ? Rampant Cronyism, that's how.

It's not quite Meatloaf's two out of three ain't bad, but not far short, you're getting there 59. 7/14, you're halfway to Fascism, not a Party I would want to be associated with.
