Anne Widdecombe's Amazing Speech

Today, Anne Widdecombe exercised her freedom of speech in the EU Parliament, only to be called "The Chief Clown of the Brexit Party", by communist failure Guy Verhofstadt.

Here is Annes speech where she explains how history has seen the oppressed people overcoming the oppressors with great examples given such as slavery overcoming their masters and peasantry overcoming feudal barrons. It's an accurate comparison and how countries became trapped within the block by the common currency and are now pushing for their own freedom.

I would have gone a lot further, and also explain how the Greeks, (who invented democracy in the first place), now struggle for their freedom from their unelected masters, as they are controlled by the enforced troika arrangements forced upon them by the EU diktat. Another example she could use is how Italy is denied its promises on delivering investment for its people, but are prevented from doing so by the EU unelected elite.

Then there is Hungary, forced to accept migrant quotas or have it's voting rights removed, again by the commission of elite bureaucrats, while bankrupt Spain gets their socialist nutcase appointed to the front bench.

I think Anne was being far too kind.

I've was just watching that before I came on here, She certainly told them a few home truths.
But expect a Backlash as soon as they get over the shock.

Re: Anne Widdecombe's Amazing Speech

I see that perpetual rentagob David Lammy* is spouting about this speech along with his left-wing cohorts claiming that the references to slavery are "disgusting" and "offensive". Must have hit a nerve because what she says is entirely true.

*Here's what the arsehole said in a Tweet

"It is impossible to explain how offensive and ahistorical it is for you to equate my ancestors tearing off their chains with your small-minded nationalist project. Shame on you. "

His ancestor's didn't `tear off` their chains, they were freed by the British who were then instrumental via the Royal Navy in halting the slave trade carried out by other countries.

Slavery happened before lammy was born. He seems to remember stuff that never happened to him.

I don't normally comment on the Brexit forum but by golly did she give it to them good and proper. Brilliant, bloody brilliant.

Re: Anne Widdecombe's Amazing Speech

I saw this on www.order-order.com

That's the way to do it!
It's obvious that polite discussion has got us nowhere
Theresa The Betrayer and the rest of our weak, inept, and treasonous MPs should take lessons from Anne

And yes, I'm sick opf hearing Sir David Lammy of Mastermind and others criticising Britain over slavery, but that's another subject

Also reported on order-order, The High Court rules that Boris's bus and it's claims about £350 million and the NHS were OK

I wonder if any of this made it to The Biased Broadcasting Corporation and other MSM; I don't watch their news any more than I need to
Certainly I haven't seen it reported on the couple of times I've watched today
