For political gain yes, it massively backfired, but at least he wasn't actively throwing the country under a bus for personal financial gain.

Scum? I understand they were shouting 'Nazi Scum' - absolutely abhorrent and symbolic of the completely fraught relations in the UK at the moment.

Yes very odd that she was called a 'Nazi' by the pro Brexit mob. Normally one wouldn't expect that jibe to come from the far right & those who drape themselves in Union Jack flags.

Perhaps they lack self awareness

At least one of the faces in the group screaming at her was a member of the South East Infidels which is a neo nazi group.

 

Not the brightest, this lot! 🙄

UK and European officials discussing delay to Brexit

I don't know if anyone saw the C4 drama about the Brexit campaign but it did a good job of explaining how 'the undecided' were specifically targetted and sold snake oil by a well funded group of cranks and extremists.

 

It really did give the lie to the idea that the disenfranchised rose up to 'take back control' when in fact many were simply targetted by tailored facebook news and invites to competitions to harvest data about them.

 

The programme also suggested that the Brexit campaign was a 'test bed' by US data analysis companies for 'the big one' ie. the electoon of Trump later in the year.

It's  MPs like Anna Soubry who have contempt for democracy who  are to blame for the fraught relations in the UK at the moment.  However two wrongs don't make a right and Anna Soubry should not have been harassed in that way by the yobs.  I don't want to see the UK turned into the new Zimbabwe where their people are cheated out of democracy but that is exactly what Anna Soubry is seeking to do.

‘Cheated out of democracy’ my word, no wonder you support Brexit, you haven’t got the foggiest what ‘democracy’ means if you think an elected official can’t have an opinion...

It is because I understand democracy why after 23rd June 2016, I support Brexit.  Yes, Anna Soubry is an elected official and just like people, who are no elected officials she had her chance to express her opinion at the ballot box on 23rd June 2016.  I expect elected officials especially those who are members of parliament, who voted overwhelmingly to give the UK people the EU referendum vote to respect the decision the democratic UK people made in that vote.  Anna Soubry doesn't respect the democratic EU referendum vote and in my opinion no longer deserves to be a member of parliament or deserves to stand again for any elected position.
