Well remember the nasty narrative that was spun about Brown supposedly refusing to leave? I have no idea what Cameron and co might do in that situation, their sense of entitlement is so ingrained. Do we have a special constitutional bailiffs team?
Call me ultra-pessimistic or ultra-cynical (or both, more likely) but I have this strange feeling that we might need one.
But at least I've been wrong about such apocalyptic predictions in the past.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - although the system should prevent them from hanging on, as it usually does, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some sort of emergency was declared/invented (terrorist threat?) that Cameron would use as the reason why he should stay for a bit....
There is no question in my mind now that these people are fascists. They have all the characteristics. I was watching a film last night called Bunker in which Anthony Hopkins played Hitler in his last days - although it's not accurate, I was struck anew by the way an entire nation was bamboozled into letting horrific things happen.
Cameron and his henchmen aren't even bothering to pretend any more. We've had nearly 5 years of clever-clever manipulation of words and obfuscation, and IDS with his denials of the obvious stood out - now they're all like him. Cameron and Osborne and the blatant lying when they got back from the EU, May and Gove attempting to subvert Parliamentary procedure, they're all at it.
I've said thousands of times in the past few years that we are being lied to on a massive scale - they were careful about it for a while but the gloves are off now. This week, the G has had an article from OGRFG, the hideous Zahawi, and now Beaker - all lies and very very obvious propaganda designed to convince us that they have our best interests at heart.
This is how it starts - convince the people that some among them are a bit different, then convince them that those people cost a lot of money and aren't like the good guys. Then marginalise them, cut off their support (personal as well as financial), make them work for their pittance, remove their services, all the while pretending that they are the source for all our troubles.
Next - pretend there is a clear and present danger, indulge in warlike rhetoric, encourage people to think they are hardworking plucky little souls with the machinery of government supporting them, and demonise the enemy within whilst whipping up hatred of all things foreign and making out that only "we" can save the nation from it all.
And if all that doesn't work, suppress protest and claim that it's necessary to keep the nation safe from its enemies. Fascism.
