It's a perfectly good analogy. What's wrong with it?

Here you go again. A WW2 metaphor is entirely appropriate when we are talking about subservience and sovereignty.

And the rest of your tirade is entirely irrelevant to the topic.

Hmm! I see they are looking for a scapegoat for all their woes..Maybe they just need to look in the mirror.

What makes you say something like that (see answer below)? Bercow has been top dead centre in mangling parliamentary convention to suit his personal agenda. It might be worth examining the powers that a Speaker has for the future.

Only Remainers who are dedicated to the undemocratic path of defying the Referendum would come out with what you've said.

Not the kind of image we should be presenting to the outside world.

Three years of destructive politics by the Remainers in Parliament have told the world what they need to know about UK politics.

Analogies won't affect that and your high horse polemics is ridiculous.
