I know it's a twitter no no to make nazi comparisons. Are direct parallels ok? Remember Hitler suspended Parliament because it opposed the Will of the People?

Churchill is spinning

More ironic. More British leavers support this new fascism than Germans supported Hitler.

I never thought I'd say this. But if it's incitement to suggest that the one event where British people should take to the streets with pitchforks, its when the executive suspends Parliament.

Then sobeit. The BS (Boris sterm troupes) inevitably will come knocking as we chant...

Yoi may not realise the inauspicious company we keep, so let me play out the other historical suspensions of parliamentary sovereignty.
I'm afraid this list isn't short so I'll do the notable ones

Country: Reason for parliamentary suspension.

Yugoslavia: create dictatorship

Spain: create dictatorship
Romania: create dictatorship
Central African Republic: create emperor of Africa - dictatorship
Uganda: create autocracy
Phillipines: dictatorship
Chile, Uruguay, Niger, Pakistan, Mauritania, Grenenda, Ghana, Sudan, Chad, Congo, Thailand:
The same

There are another 20. You get the point.

Only two "western" democracies have ever done this. Germany under Hitler, Spain under Franco (questionable if either were western democracies at the time).

If you voted leave, and many did for good reason. Time to check the small print.

The sadness.

The crying shame.

Much like the Germans in the 1930s, far too few understand the point of this meme.

But far too many of those who do understand are content to run with it.

Time for us all to take back control of our Country from these shysters.

Oh i gather #stopthecoup is trending.

I understand why.

But this is not a coup. Its a deposition. A vote, on a loose manifesto had terms retroactively added by those with no mandate who then subsequently argued a mandate and then deposed those who objected.

Banaa Republic.
