  1. It’s actually dangerous how unhinged parts of the Tory party have become. If they hadn’t purged the party of all the sensible people who trying to forbid the government from to er **creating an unnecessary economic disaster** then perhaps none of this mess would have spiralled out of control to begin with.

  2. I think this routine defense of the indefensible by Fabricant is going to cost him his seat next election, maybe he’s just going for it now because he sees the writing on the wall, one of those desperate last gambits.

  3. Ah, Michael Fabricant. One of those things in the English language where only one syllable is really needed to convey the full meaning.

  4. More..

    In depth:

  5. *How very dare you factually report the behaviour of the Prime Minister who appears to have done his level best to sabotage his own reputation. What do you think this is, some kind of informed democracy?*

  6. You couldn’t make it up.

    Now if a political leader or media outlet had riled up their mad following in a rally outside parliament then told them to march into the chambers, maybe you could call that a coup attempt.

  7. Fabricant is an absolute clown and always has been.

    When I used to work in Parliament, I’d often find that MPs of whom I had a low opinion actually turned out to be very nice in person.

    Fabricant is not one of those people. His hair also looks even more ludicrous up close.

  8. What is it with Tory haircuts? Has Fabricant not noticed the Johnson has cleaned up his act for new year and had a toddler haircut to show he means business.
    All we need now Is Rees Mogg in a powdered periwig to complete the pantomime.

  9. If I saw that bloke In public, his wig would be getting twockkkked lad, be wearing it into work the next day as a badge of honor

  10. I’m sure this tits rolled out by the tories just so everyone goes “we want boris out, we want bor….this lads hair Wtf have you seen it lol look at his hair boris who”

  11. Has anyone seen that bit in the American office when Dwight is wearing the CPR mask like Hannibal lector? That’s Michael fabricant.

  12. OK this twat is amusing but he’s crossed a line here, that kind of language is starting down a dangerous road. Don’t think for a moment that his ridiculous hairdo will stop certain people from taking him seriously, it never did for supporters of Boris or indeed Trump, with whom who he is obviously trying to draw parallels.

  13. Of fucking course he did! Pathetic Americanism as per usual!

    “Oh they’ve had a coup, we should say we’ve had one”

    What next?? Is he gonna complain about our ‘electoral college’

    Get to fuck!!!

  14. Ah, FrabriCUNT. My local MP. Once rode a bike naked through a park. Don’t Google it. You’ll regret it

  15. Someone doesn’t know the meaning of ‘coup’. I know it’s all the rage in America and other parts of the world but reporting MPs breaking the very mandates they impose is far from a ‘coup attempt’ unless the BBC has a secret army we don’t know about and are trying to overthrow the government.

  16. It will never not be funny to me how much extra platforming the BBC gave extreme right-wing views over the past 15 years, seemingly under the impression that said extremists wouldn’t immediately attempt to tear the BBC apart upon gaining legitimacy.

  17. He got 35k votes at the last election.

    Second was Labour at 11k.

    How the f do they have such majority. Even with the older, wealthier than average population of Lichfield.

  18. nice try i see what you did there, playing that main stream media are after us card, been reading the donald’s book have you. Pity the BBC is tory controlled and very right wing isn’t it. Maybe its just your boss is a total and utter fuckwit.

  19. If this guy is your local MP and you voted for him, can you supply some of the drugs you obviously took before making your informed decision?
