The UK Independent Group: "An Emission of Puss"

Craig Murray is back from his sojourn in Pakistan and resumes his blog by weighing in on the defection of Labour Party MPs to something called the Independent Group (see "Democracy and the Corrupt Seven (Eight)") on the grounds that Jeremy Corbyn is a sort of left-wing Himmler. Today Stephen Castle reports (see "Three Lawmakers Quit Britain’s Conservative Party, Joining Labour Defectors") that the Independent Group has added three Tories to its ranks. Speculation is that the Independent Group will attract more lawmakers from the Conservative Party, the Labour Party, and even the Liberal Democrats, as May persists in her run-out-the-clock strategy and crash-out Brexit comes closer.

As a 21st Century Jeremiah I think Craig Murray has no equal:

That the Corrupt Seven are some of the most unpleasant people in British politics is not entirely relevant, nor is the question of which interest groups are funding them. They are just an emission of puss, a symptom of the rottenness of the British body politic. They have nothing interesting to say and are feeble tools of the wealthy, thrown out as protection for a crumbling political system. The end of the UK is not pretty, and this is one of its uglier moments. It really is beyond time to crack on with Scottish Independence and the reunification of Ireland.
