No one has yet addressed my earlier point about the prorogue of Parliament being given as not being about Brexit and to give the new PM time to establish policy before the Queen’s Speech. This whole entire reaction just proves the *unanimous* decision today was correct.

Of course, it was about delivering Brexit. And quite rightly so. I am beyond caring about the legal niceties because it is all bollocks of the highest order. Way past that, ever since we did not leave on March 29th as we were meant to.

f*** Parliament and f*** those judges. We were asked to make a choice and were assured it would be acted upon. And we did. A victory for leaving the EU. Parliament supported the process for leaving to be started, none of which mentioned it requiring a deal of any kind and we should now be out. End of story.

Instead, we are not. I don't care now if it takes a full-on revolution to achieve the outcome. We played by the rules. We voted on June 23rd and did everything that was asked of us. And have already been stiffed the once. If we still in on November 1st then as far as I am concerned then all bets are off. Why should I ever bother wasting my time to vote if I have no faith it will be acted upon?

Ultimately democracy does boil down to one side winning and the other(s) losing. And one side did win. No ifs, no buts. Ignore that and the centre does not hold.

There is a real power shift here to parliament.

I think you should call nursey for your bottle.

There is no law against talking nonsense.

There is also no justification for ignoring the referendum, so stop coming up with daft arguments to say otherwise.

Oh indeed. And opens up a whole can of worms down the road. Who needs an official opposition anymore when Judges can best decide for us? In fact, why not do away with MP's altogether? And elections. Utterly pointless really. Perhaps make them all just advisory from now on? Let 11 people from privilaged backgrounds decide what is the best for us all.

Or lets just have Graduates voting. Or people who own property worth more than say a million quid? Or at least have their votes worth a litte bit more than everybody elses.

And certainly not a referendum where votes are simply put into two piles with the largest one being deemed the winner. That is just plain daft and, when you think about it logically, not democracy at all. Pure populism. In fact, the losing side should now actually be the winners. Because the winners did not know what they were voting for. Thick f***ers that they are.

Also, not ‘accused’ any more. They HAVE acted illegally, as ruled by the highest court in the country.

Doesn’t answer the question. Whose advice should have been sought on the legality of the situation if not that of the Attorney General?

She has the power to approve it or turn it down.

The fact that the Queen has decided to be window dressing is not law.

Her father....who she is meant to admire.....involved himself far more.

The courts have embarrassed her and she should re-assert herself.

The only person (or people) who have embarrassed her is Boris and his advisors.

I do agree with you! He is very much to blame.

But, and someone who does work in a similar field, every piece of legal advice ever is qualified with the risks. BJ chose ultimately to act upon it.

The government is accused of acting illegally despite the Attorney General telling them their action would be legal. Whose advice should they have taken if not his?

I rather think it's worth remembering what the president of the supreme court said before kick off - that there were serious and difficult question as evidenced "by the fact that three senior judges in Scotland have reached a different conclusion to three senior judges in England and Wales”.

That narrative paints her as a simpleton.

We shall see......Perhaps we should be doing away with the whole system.

So you should have seen this coming then?

I still find another irony about Brexit being that arch-Brexiteers wanted to have British matters wanting to be solved by British laws in British courts. When it doesn’t go their way suddenly the system doesn’t work. This is quite literally what you voted for.

If you don’t think British judges are impartial and acting to uphold the law to the best of their ability does this mean every judgment from the Supreme Court is suddenly null and void?
