The word traitor is pleasant in comparison.

Secondly. The UK is clearly negotiating with an institution intent on doing it harm as confirmed by both the rhetoric, and actions ,of those representing EU which has been shameful. The backstop has disturbing parallels with the annexation of Austria and grants EU powers never granted by any country that was not first the loser of an armed conflict.
So the EU is more than arguably an "enemy" in dictionary definition. In any war any faction fighting or debilitating our own forces or assisting the enemy is certainly treason. So the language is strong but " traitor" does have some rational justification in the context it was used.
Perspective is a wonderful thing. One person's traitor is another person's hero, just as one person's enemy is another person's ally.

BTW, I agree the left wing of the labour party is more militant (aggressive, belligerent) than the right wing of the conservative party. But as someone who supports neither of them, I see them as no less extreme.

Also, I'm starting see how your persona is developing. Maybe I should start a Citizen Smith-style persona to bring some sort of balance.
