LOL. It has certainly opened my eyes. I had always considered myself to be politically savvy but if you had told me on July 24th that we would still be in the EU and with people actively conspiring to maintain that state of affairs then I would have dismissed it as fantasy.

I bore myself now with this but it was an exercise in democracy that has never been bettered, at least in my life time. Huge turn-out, record number of votes cast and a winning margin that offered a clear winner. And with each vote counting for the same. No rotten boroughs or safe seats but just two piles of votes and the highest one winning.

Still you live and learn.

But it has to be ended. The only remaining method of bringing this to a close is a General Election. Parliament has failed to honour its promise and as such, it requires a reset.

Then perhaps we can start the process of forgiving the Remain side who refused to accept the result from June 23rd. It will be hard but it has to be done.

And no more referendums.

So says the man who only ever posts rubbish

It's going to be interesting.

Did you actually watch Geoffrey Cox, or just read the twitter post?

I thought he was an embarrassment to himself. He is clearly an educated, decent man who understands and upholds the rule of law. However, he was working to a prepared position that I am sure we will hear time and again in the coming weeks. "This Parliament is dead. It opposes the will of the people". I am pretty sure, from his body language, that he doesn't believe it, and that he doesn't think it to be a wise strategy.

His "attacks" were all theoretical soundbites designed for 10 second news clips and Daily Mail headlines. He lost all credibility in my eyes.

This idea that this the government is trying, against all the "establishment" forces assembled against them, which now includes the Supreme Court, to do the will of the people is disingenuous, irresponsible and dangerous. It needs to be called out for the sham it is. Parliament is just trying to do it's job, nothing more or less, and it was the government action which was trying to stop them. Action that has now been determined by a unanimous verdict of the highest court to be unlawful. There's the shame. Where is the apology? Doubling down is Trumpian tactics. Do we really want to accept that?

I am thoroughly ashamed that a government formed in the name of a great party that I once respected, has sunk to such a low point.

I still hope that those behind the scenes who manage the Tory party and it's finances will pull the rug from under these tactics before any more harm is done.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Actually the supreme court perceived that prorogation was to prevent discussion about brexit.
There is nothing that can prove it was to do that.
Maybe another 5 weeks gabbling on about what is and isnt going to happen will wear down the leavers, who knows.
Bottom line the deal or no deal cannot be done outside of Brussels.

Fantastic, he speaks for so many people.
Good for him.

Really??? As someone who insists on evidence from others you can impute opinion and intention from body language?
Isn’t it possible that as the government’s top legal adviser he was simply embarrassed at getting things wrong?

So says the man who rushes to get a laughable hard-on for throwing his (perceived) weight around by criticising others for petty squabbling.

As a woman, I can step aside, or step up my game...
