[Politics] Brexit

[Dick Swiveller]

I can see him struggling for a gig this year

Plymouth have Brian Conley and Rusty Lee
Lyme Regis have Germaine Greer and Oliver Letwin
Cambridge have Jonnie Peacock and Tom Korni
Brighton have Boy George and Antony Cotton

and even

Hailsham have Jimmy "It's the way I tell 'em" Cricket

Although I still don't understand why Plymouth have first choice every bloody year

Just heard that Gina Miller is doing Haywards Heath. Which is nice.

 

[Dick Head]

What are the options for Boris now?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Lex Hortencia?

The patricians elect the consuls and the plebeians have no say.
To think - as we see another old Etonian break the law in governance - that anything will ever change.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'll stick with Jimmy "Say What You See" Cricket.

Certainly as PM I think he would be a more sensible choice

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

This is just not true. If ever a government you disagree with tries to pull a similar stunt, the law will not allow it and you will be glad of today's ruling. Our law is based on precedent and one has been set today.

Aside from the legal arguments it is perfectly true. Remainers are trying to remain, leavers are trying to leave. Corbyn is... well I have no idea what he's trying to do.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

One of the best episodes of the IT Crowd!

Trying to respect the views of everyone?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Trying to ensure that the democratic majority will be able to decide which detailed implementable option they want ?

 

[narly101]

Maybe we could take the Supreme Court decision to the European Court of Justice?



Oh wait.....

 

[BensGrandad]

That’s because we didn’t have a Parliamentary democracy then, BG.

No they sent traitors to the Tower not lauded them in courts.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I do not think that he should resign because he would have acted on the advice of his advisors and legal team who would have said the action was lawful... Because thje Supreme Court said it wasn't is just a different interpretation of the laws, upon which they have ruled. If anybody should resign it is the entire government which would mean a GE which is what Boris wanted in the first place. This idea doesn't follow with Corbyn and Co as they know they would get slaughtered and the Tory majority would increase dramatically. So what do we do? Just carry on as was and Tory MPs talk out any ideas and motions put forward.

The Supreme Court is the ultimate when it comes to ruling on the laws of this country. They are highly competent lawyers and judges who have been chosen for their skill and judgement. Despite what the Daily Mail might say, they are unbiased and neutral. They have only reached a judgement which to many, many people seemed blindingly obvious.

In terms of a General Election, if it were to come to that, the Labour Party are as bad as the Tories at the moment - the word Stalinist springs to mind after some of what happened at their conference yesterday. But I think it is a gross over-simplification to say that the Tory majority would increase dramatically. It's far more complicated than that. My MP in Winchester - Steve Brine, a Tory who has been expelled from the party by Johnson - will presumably not stand, but it would be likely to go Lib-Dem, and that is without any notion of tactical voting.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

So now you've revealed your true colours. There's no point in discussing anything with people who adopt that sort of attitude!

 

[WATFORD zero]

I suppose it's my turn

OK BG, who has been traitorous to our Parliamentary Sovereignty which holds absolute sovereignty and is supreme over all other government institutions ?

If he was so good why wouldnt he stand as an independent and take his place in parliament again but not as tory.

Not Boris as he would have acted on advice from his legal team which obviously differs from the 11 judges.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Firstly, I'm not expressing an opinion as to whether he is good or bad.
Secondly, it's up to him what he does..... and
Thirdly, if he were to stand as an independent, he would probably just split the Tory vote and make a Lib-Dem victory more likely.

wasn't that Roy Walker?

 

[Igzilla]

Not Boris as he would have acted on advice from his legal team which obviously differs from the 11 judges.

And you think his legal team is more important than 11 Supreme Court judges?
You are truly clueless.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Boris has lied to the Queen. Can you get more traitorous than that?

…...I'm saying this slightly tongue in cheek. I think this is just all showing Mr Johnson up to be the cack-handed incompetent bungling buffoon that many people suspected. If BREXIT does happen by October 31st, it will be despite him rather than because of him.

I am not sure your 3rd point is right as I am sure that if it happened in HH and Sir Nicholas Soames stood as an independent he would walk in.
