O/T:- Who needs Parliament?

[Old_pie]

Well that went badly. But is there anything to stop Boris proroguing again legally?

He has to face the Queen again. She will not be amused.

A bit surprised at the Courts getting involved to sort Parliament out. I demand a recount. The Judges clearly were misled on the facts of the case. Get Corbyn involved and he will sit on all the fences.

What next? The referendum was illegal? Or ignoring the referendum result is illegal?

This country is as bad as our club - serial losers.

And of course lying to the Queen, illegally shutting down parliament, refusing to rule out openly breaking the law of the land, calling judges enemies of the people and political opponents traitors and surrender merchants, plus all the other stuff Brexiters have happily cheered from the sidelines over the course of this ****storm doesn't set any undesirable precedents at all. Righty ho.

Anyway the almighty God-King Farage has come out against the prorogation saying it was a terrible idea, so I imagine the hordes will be quite conflicted, whose rhetoric do they blindly follow now?

''Unlawful'' is not ''illegal'' a technicality I know but not the same.



Black's Law Dictionary defines unlawful as "not authorized by law, illegal." Illegal is defined as "forbidden by law, unlawful." Semantically, there is a slight difference. It seems that something illegal is expressly proscribed by statute, and something unlawful is just not expressly authorized.

What a state the country is in today. We have directors of Thomas Cook paying themselves millions in bonuses as the company collapses under their incompetent management, our 'leader' illegally suspending Parliament and paying pole dancers to set-up their businesses with our money. The Tories are clearly unfit to run this country, they are a minority government and have no mandate to do so, but all all the Tories on here can say (and some so called Labour) is Steptoe this and Steptoe that.

Super Boris will never resign. He is invulnerable, not to mention the X ray vision. Wonder what his next, (legal) move will be???

He's probably on the phone to Steve Bannon right now asking that very question.

Ok then I'll retract illegal and go with unlawful. I think the gist of what I wrote still stands though.

There, put that right for you.

The total incompetence of Bozo and his minions does not give legitimacy to Corbyn and his party rule by diktat (otherwise known as Momentum). We are living in vacuous times and there is a lack of any kind of moral authority at 'the top'.
One positive is that Brexit has been dealt a stunning blow by this judgment. Hopefully, a mortal blow.

TBH with how swiftly and decisively the Supreme court acted i'd be all for putting the leave/remain argument with them let them thrash it out and whoever wins thats final

If only it were that simple

You can see where this is going. A vote of no confidence in Super Bojo and the Remain Rabble attempting to set up an un-elected Gov of National Lunacy, sorry ''Unity''. They will either try to revoke Art 50 or more likely try to enact some sort of 2nd referendum, though exactly what deal your would offer on a ballot paper as an option to oppose ''remain'' is anybody's guess? All do-able and they may well achieve their aims but all parties involved need to be well aware that the long term consequences of such actions, may well see them out of favour with a huge swath of voters for a generation. Orrr, equally likely is that an un-elected Gov of National Unity could easily implode on itself and disappear up it's own arris and we have the GE that we should have had all along.

You heard it here first folks: Just to add, Gypo Rose Gumpy is available for 30 min readings at the knock down price of a bag o sand. Form an orderly queue.

I don't think it's delivered a mortal blow to Brexit, and nor should it. It has delivered a pretty meaty whack in the plums to Johnson though.
