O/T Democracy

I think you are taking this a bit hard, Biggie.

Everybody knew why BoJo prorogued Parliament, which is why he wouldn’t submit a sworn affidavit in support of his public claim that it was a matter of routine. It’s also why the Supreme Court decision to declare the ‘routine’ prorogation is now being derided on here as being a pro-Remain decision.

Are you for real? So everyone knew why Boris did what he did but where is your proof? Other than an assumption what proof do you have?

The law deals in proof not hearsay or at least it did before today's events.

I'm for real, Biggie.

The decision today wasn't about whether BoJo told porkies (even if we all know that he did). It was about whether a government can suspend Parliament without a good reason.

Now it may be that BoJo had a good reason but he declined to provide any evidence concerning his reasoning preferring instead to have his lawyers argue that the court simply had no jurisdiction in the matter. Even though his reasoning was not ultimately in issue, his failure to provide any evidence on the point is telling and one from which court could draw the obvious inference.

Can you lads take your squabbling outside.

Clear the bristro for the intellectual big hitter to air his views. Hope you allowed time for the nice bottle of red to breath.

Blair-created court full of establishment Remainers finds in favour of establishment Remainers, not a surprise.

The people will beat the establishment eventually, they can't delay an election forever.

Following the High Court ruling, I'm surprised that a certain poster hasn't started another "Get back to work ya idle sods" thread yet!

You are forgetting Kerr doesn't know what a socialist is mikemiller - like a few on here- so he tends to make things up about socialism and who is a socilaist bless him. He needs to stop reading Maggie's biography and start reading some proper books.

I'm for leaving the EU, but not under the Boris plan. He is a chancer whose tricks have now misfired.
