The guy's wetting his pants with excitement; he's only read one book & he thinks he's Lenin reincarnate.

Breitfarts again!

Utter nonsense as usual. It’s like Viz for fascists.

I did open this link knowing it will make them money. But in future I am going to ignore any brietfart links.

This is Breitfart so it goes without saying the story is old.

She was not calling for the Palace of Westminster to be invaded which would be illegal. She was talking about occupying the area.
// “Today we’re going to contact all Momentum supporters and encourage them to protest, occupy and blockade on Saturday.

“Our message to Johnson is this: if you steal our democracy, we’ll shut down the streets.” //

So the protest she was talking about was YESTERDAY and no building was stormed.

Ha ha ha Steal democracy ha ha ha.

That’s the domain of remain.

It isn't recorded only on Breitbart;

Yes, the Daily Express tells lies as well.

Corbyn said MPs (not just Labour ones) should join the protests about Proroguing.
Momentum had a protest in Westminster yesterday. I don’t there were enough people there to block a pavement nevermind a road. It was poorly attended and caused little if any disruption.

The Express falsely connected Corbyn’s statement to MPs and Momentums damp squib rally and caption it
// Jeremy Corbyn has backed Momentum's call for civil disobedience //

This was reported on by the Mail some days ago.

It was in the Mail days ago. Breitfart specialises in report the news, several days late.

What happened is irrelevant, Corbyn & his ilk live in a fantasy world of glorious historical revolution by the 'workers', something he's never been & knows little about. He's nothing but a middle class rabble-rouser.

[Gromit]

Khandro,

Corbyn did not back any storming of Westminster. He said MPs should join protests up and down the country.

It is you that is a fantasy world.
There was no storming of the palace. They didn’t plan to, they planned to block a street, but hardly anyone turned up.

Hardly an apposite historical comparison anyway.
The Winter Palace was where the provisional government sat - the enemies of the Bolsheviks. Presumably occupying parliament in Britain in 2019 would be done by parliaments supporters (to what end I’m not sure)

thx Itchie - I admire your quite superior knowledge of things eastern european and russian

readers who are bored by the usual c/p posts from the usual suspects can usefully spend a few minutes on wiki
The Storming of the Winter Palace
1920 re enacted as Utopian performance theatre ( no really)
stills from the production are air-brushed to be passed off as original - clue - stills are daylighta nd the storming occurred at night

there is a film

and it is in re enacted in Eisensteins film "October 10 d"
1927 where the extras apparently were able to tell him that some were actually there and what had happened - in real life !
They had just walked in- more were injured in the film than in reality

Unsure I have this right. Folk oppossed to proroguing parliament want to block ministers from getting to parliament: is that during the suspension or before ? Or after maybe ? If before, doesn't that effectively suspend parliament unofficially thus extending the planned suspension period ? If during then it doesn't matter as none are going there, and if they did, whatever they did has no validity. And if after, it's a bit late.
