These MPs, Civil Servants, and public figures all tried to cancel the referendum result of (so called) BREXIT despite the votes being counted and all legal paths were followed correctly. Predictably the voters for Yes (leave the political block that has become the EU) were branded 'Racists', 'Xenophobes' (and other racial slurs) as well as being labelled 'Stupid', 'Didn't know what they were voting for', 'shouldn't have been allowed to vote', etc.

Below are some quotes from those that stand out as they most extreme insults, slurs, and basically childish outcry's from those on the opposite side.

When Boris Johnson announced his resignation as an MP ahead of the Privileges Committee recommending a vindictive 90-day suspension for allegedly lying to Parliament, the former Prime Minister voiced many Brexiteer concerns in his statement.

He said "I am not alone in thinking that there is a witch hunt under way, to take revenge for Brexit and ultimately to reverse the 2016 referendum result."

"My removal is the necessary first step, and I believe there has been a concerted attempt to bring it about."

In many ways, it sums up the allegations made around the other nine issues in this article as well as others we have not covered including tax investigations of leading Leave supporters.

But ever since former Speaker John Bercow gave latitude to Remainers in the Commons to try to thwart Brexit there has been a strong sense that the Parliamentary procedures have been 'weaponised' against Brexiteers and Leaving the EU.

Some have asked why MP Chris Bryant has not been asked to explain his allegations about Russian money to Farage before the committee which he normally chairs.

But there were other examples as well.

One particularly blatant one was the failure to declare interests properly.

Former Tory "Brexit Spartan" MP Andrew Bridgen, now of the Reclaim Party, received a two-day suspension after being referred to the Standards Committee for failing to mention in eight emails that he had received a trip to Ghana even though it was in his Register of Interests.

Yet the same Standards Commissioner Kathryn Stone did not even bother to refer Keir Starmer or fellow Labour Remainer David Lammy for failing to mention significant pecuniary interests in their Register of Interests at all.

The treatment of the cases did not seem equal, although that did not help Bridgen in his appeal.

Below are some quotes from those that stand out as they most extreme insults, slurs, and basically childish outcry's from those on the opposite side.

John Longworth, the former head of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said europhiles were being "disingenuous" with their claims that people did not understand quitting the EU would also mean leaving the single market. The influential business figure highlighted four unequivocal comments from the most senior campaigners on both sides of the argument which made it "absolutely clear" that would be the case.

His remarks came as new Lib Dem MP Sarah Olney sparked outrage by insisting there should be a second referendum because people did not know what they were voting for. The newly-installed Richmond Park representative had to be humiliatingly pulled from a car crash radio interview when she was quizzed about the claim and failed to answer even the most basic questions about the EU.

And firmly rebutting her claim today, Mr Longworth highlighted four crystal clear statements - two from Remainers David Cameron and George Osborne, and two from Brexiteers Nigel Farage and Michael Gove - confirming Brexit meant leaving the single market.

David Cameron, June 12 "The British public would be voting, if we Leave, to leave the EU and leave the Single Market."

George Osborne, June 8 "We'd be out of the Single Market, that’s the reality, Britain would be quitting, quitting the Single Market."

Michael Gove, May 8 "We should be outside the Single Market."

Nigel Farage, February 22 "I don't want to be part of the European Single Market, I want Britain to leave the European Union, be an independent country and trade with the world".

Mr Longworth, who was controversially ousted from his post at the BCC after declaring for Brexit, said Remoaners should now "accept the verdict of the British people".

He said "Remain and Leave campaigners were absolutely clear before the referendum that Leave meant leaving the Single Market".

"They were right. Leaving the Single Market is the only way we can take back control of our laws, our borders and our money."

"And any attempt by 'Remain' to now claim you didn't know what you were voting for is entirely disingenuous."

"We urge those who supported Remain not to seek to delay, obstruct or dilute the Brexit process – but to accept the verdict of the British people and embrace the huge opportunities on the horizon for a free and independent United Kingdom."

The idea that Brexit was the result of a Russia-based conspiracy rather than the majority of British voters deciding they had had enough of the EU still lingers among the political and business elites.

It essentially has its origins in the idea that the Remainers could not understand why their economic arguments and Project Fear approach to the referendum had been rejected at the ballot box.

The two prevailing theories were people in the UK were "stupid and racist", and that Russia had tricked everyone with the help of people like Nigel Farage, Aaron Banks and Andy Wigmore.

Strangely enough, the same explanation was used by US Democrats to explain the victory of Donald Trump in 2016.

Neither were true but the conspiracy was fuelled by articles in the Guardian (extensively quoted in the Commons) in which Banks and Wigmore had to resort to the courts to clear their names.

Meanwhile, Labour Remainer MP Chris Bryant used Parliamentary privilege to claim that Farage had received £500,000 from Russia.

He did that in the Commons because he did not have to provide evidence of the claim and would be protected from being sued, but we now know that the unsubstantiated allegation was also used as a reason to cancel Farage's Coutt's bank account.



Outcome:

Bryant, despite his completely fake, malicious and libellous claims against the three MPs, currently sits as the 'Chair' of the Commons Committee on Standards, and has done since May 2020.

Peter Bone appeared on TalkRADIO where he was asked for his opinions following Labour MP Chris Bryant retweeting a photoshopped image which suggested the empty shop shelves were because of Brexiteers which also called them "Thick Twats". Bryant was widely condemned online for "insulting" his voters and constituents who may have voted for Brexit considering his seat voted to leave. Mr Bone took up arms against the story and said Bryant and people on the other side of the political argument had to resort to insults as they could not argue against their opponents.

Bryant is the MP for Rhondda Cynon Taf which voted 53.7 percent in favour of Brexit.

The MP retweeted an image from columnist Tim Walker which showed mocked-up signs in a supermarket blaming Brexit for the empty shelves.

Mr Bone appeared on TalkRADIO and fought back against the Brexit attack.

He told the programme "If you can't win the argument you attack the person, instead of playing the ball - you play that player."

"And I think Chris Bryant, who was a huge fan of remaining in the EU, loves the EU."

"He's lost the argument, Brexit has proved to be a success."

"The fact that we had the vaccination programme is because we weren't in the European Medical Agency."

"So he can't win the argument so he attacks the players and I think on reflection Chris Bryant will probably think that was a bit of a silly remark and he should really apologise for it."

After the outcry of sharing the image, Bryant removed the retweet and apologised.

He said "My profound apologies, I hadn't spotted the appalling language and removed by RT, again I apologise."

But radio host Patrick Christys pointed out the MP did not apologise for offending or attacking people who voted for Brexit.

Mr Bone continued "I don't agree with Chris Bryant on his policies and I just think when you do that you show that you've lost the argument.

"Chris should be fair-minded and say he shouldn't have said that, he's insulting more than half the country.

"It's just not what you should do as a politician, you should argue about the policy, you shouldn't argue about the people, it's just a silly thing to say."
