" problems we have with people who want to be something they are not" which people are these?

The law passed last night by one vote was gerrymandered through parliament by a partisan Speaker who has defied parliamentary convention numerous times in his quest to wreck Brexit.  It was also aided by an ex-jailbird MP who was released on licence in February and wears a curfew tag.  This is the appalling state of democracy in the UK today.
