F*ckin Brexit

[Jupiter]

This sort of thing shouldn't end up in court. We don't want to become like America where loads of things end up being decided by unelected judges.

Not very different to Boris getting shoe'd into PM.

Apparently it is possible that the supreme court will find that prorogation is legal under English law and illegal under Scottish law at the same time.

Which would be ridiculous.

Ridiculous disna start to cover it Jupiter. As you say and as it stands tonight the suspension of the Westminster Parliament is unlawful in Scotland and lawful in England.
Which is perfectly possible given that the legal systems are separate.
The Supreme Court will likely have to overrule one or the other. If it overrules the Court of Session, there is no respectful Union, no 'Union of Equals' as Better Together claimed.
It could rule that both the Court of Session and the English High Court are correct in Law in their respective legal systems. Amusing times


Edit The "Gammon" classes in the shires are going absolutely apesh1t on social media tonight .. I'm beginning to enjoy this Brexit debacle.

That's very different. Parliament decides who is PM. If they don't like Boris, they can remove him in a vote of confidence which they appear reluctant to do.

The Andrew Neill show was excellent tonight.

Kwazi Kwarteng categorically ruled out any form of truce or collusion with the brexit party much to the chagrin of Nigel Farage.

Incidentally the bold Nigel suggested the Scottish judges involved in today's ruling are bent. Remarkable.

Farage is an idiot and his own ego will kill Brexit. If they go flat out to take away Tory votes being the "real" Brexit party then he just plays spoiler as they will win very few (if any) seats but will take enough votes away in marginal seats to hand those seats either to Labour or LibDem and will deprive the Tories of a majority (although they are doing a perfectly adequate job of that themselves anyway) so Brexit continues to get deferred or is killed off completely either with a minority Tory Government or minority Labour Government.

The only real solution to this impasse is another referendum that all parties sign in blood to honour the outcome whatever it is. I won't hold my breath.

I said to my No voting mates (who are obviously Huns because that's who voted No) at the time that it'll all end up with Boris and Nigel in charge. I was only kidding though

Labour will be the next party to form a government. Not into coalitions but it'll be necessary. The SNP will have almost a full house up here so a good chunk of seats. Their price for getting onboard with Labour will be the promise of a second indy ref.

The judges involved in old Rangers big tax case certainly were bent.

Burn the Queen.

And the union and Europe. What a fiasco. Sturgeon is also a traitor to the independence cause...the SNP can hardly scream about separation from Britain but then want influenced by @rseholes in Brussels. The SNP currently are not proper nationalists. Shame on them.
