TO REMOANERS
(Too good an opportunity to miss a rework of the Bob Dylan ballad "To Ramona")
Remoaners, dull droners, like fleas that just buzz in your ears
With whingeing and bleating and sobbing and crocodile tears
They won’t take no note of
The will of the voters
Insisting that they still know best
Despite democratically
And quite emphatically
Failing the ballot box test.
Remainers, complainers, it’s time you should wind in your necks
Although it’s unlikely you’ll do the right thing, one suspects
Your case was thought feeble
When put to the people
They opted to leave the EU
There’s no use defying
Decry- or denying
The popular will as you do.
Remoaners are owners of wisdom electorates lack
But voters decided it’s time to take sovereignty back
You campaigned to vote “Stay”
But didn’t get your way
That’s tough! We’ve settle our choice
Now you may not like it
If so – on yer bike!
It’s the sound of democracy’s voice.

Harry makes some historical points about parliamentary
sovereignty. It was the bone-headed intransigence of
Charles 1 to be an "absolute" monarch that led to the
Civil War and his defeat. However, even Cromwell was
obliged to face the corruption and self-interest in
the subsequent parliamentary set-up, even dismissing
it is robust terms. Those self-serving 17th century MPs
have had their equivalent in more modern times among
those who chose to go along with the great deceit and
dissembling that presumed EU primacy over the mandate
entrusted to them by a largely unaware and trusting electorate who were thereafter consistently led to think
it was a "done deal" and not to be denied. I may be
old-fashioned in my values but that smacks of a word
well known, with its exponents readily dispatched in other days.
As for the Restoration, with its return - to huge public approbation - of Charles the Second to the throne, that
set the tone for what has followed as a widely admired
and successful compromise between the centuries-old system of monarchy and the public desire for accountability. The English have displayed something
of a gift for such things down the years.
As for the Lib Dems and the likes of Tim Fearon, in
another life they would have probably been engineering
plots, in alliance with their European cronies, against Elizabeth the First!! Today, they are a busted flush.
