But these are not normal times. And the irony is that this is what the Brexiteers wanted... British judges, British courts and British laws ensuring that the British Parliament is sovereign.

1of4 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 While sat watching the news about the supreme court ruling. My wife who as never shown any interest in politics, in all the time we have been married. Suddenly said how did Johnson became Prime Minister. If I can see he's an idiot. Why couldn't the people who voted for him not see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Genuinely wish I was still studying constitutional law. Today’s judgement is just about the first thing that my lecturers would have been right about. They predicted leaving the EU would be political suicide and thus it would never happen. Saying that, they were half right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduce the working week to 4 days, yet keep everyone's pay the same (!?)

How do you know he lied to the Queen. I suspect he was perfectly straight with her, but spun things (in the best Blair/ Campbell traditions) to the rest of us.. But when talking of lying, all these statements from Miller , Gaulke, Major etc, bleating about democracy, does anyone actually believe they are doing it for any other reason than to stop Brexit as voted for by millions. And all politicians lie to us all the time, its expected and accepted behaviour. Right now the majority of politicians are against the majority of the people, how is that democratic?
