Nah. Get out of here with your 'both sides' bullshit. There's only one side here who has illegally suspended Parliament and illegally advised the Queen, and that's Boris Johnson's tawdry government, which happens to be packed full of extreme Brexiters.Right_winger wrote:We are going to get extreme politics from both sides now.

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..

Find that hard to follow.
People vote 52% 48% to leave EU.May not like it but that is what happened
Negotiations with EU with one arm tied behind our backs as we say we don't want to leave without a deal.
Negotiated deal turned down three times
Multiple attempts by MPs' to get a consensus of what to do fail
Belatedly we try to negotiate properly by leaving no deal on the table and MPs block it
After 3.5 years of getting nowhere Boris shuts down Parliament by 5 weeks but reality is far less than that due to Party conferences and 11 likely Pro EU but unbiased judges tell him he is not allowed to do it that way as it is stifling Parliament's ability to debate and ask questions of the PM and Ministers.
And in the midst of a Government that has no majority the opposition refuse to settle for dissolution and a General Election.
So we have a totally inept Tory and Labour lot and the bastions of democracy the Liberal Democrats now aka Liberal Non-democrats will simply ignore the 2016 referendum result and revoke Article 50 if they get into power.
Pity the Army is so short of staff we can't have a brief coup and lock up 650 men and women and start again
And for me the worst thing of all is that Boris thought he would get away with shutting Parliament down

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
Just to clarify, the court haven't ruled that Johnson lied to the Queen.
I mean, we all know he did, but they didn't go that far!
But its not an election winner having been found out to being "experimental with the truth" with the Queen is it?

Johnson is a spoilt child who has been given every opportunity in life and has gotten away with lots due to lack of scrutiny and privilege - see the idiot on the other side of the pond.
How many times has he been caught out lying now? He is a disgrace and should resign if he had any honour at all - he hasn’t so I doubt he will.

“Parliament, and in particular the House of Commons as the elected representatives of the people, has a right to a voice in how that change comes about. The effect upon the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme. No justification for taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court.”

mdd2: MPs are actually protecting democracy.
Find that hard to follow.
People vote 52% 48% to leave EU.May not like it but that is what happened - Advisory referendum in a Parliamentary Democracy
Negotiations with EU with one arm tied behind our backs as we say we don't want to leave without a deal. - We were promised during the leave campaign that the deal would be done before Article 50 was invoked
Negotiated deal turned down three times - It was a crap deal.
Multiple attempts by MPs' to get a consensus of what to do fail - because MPs are split between remain, no-deal, leave but with a better deal.
Belatedly we try to negotiate properly by leaving no deal on the table and MPs block it - because no deal is total suicide.
After 3.5 years of getting nowhere Boris shuts down Parliament by 5 weeks but reality is far less than that due to Party conferences and 11 likely Pro EU but unbiased judges tell him he is not allowed to do it that way as it is stifling Parliament's ability to debate and ask questions of the PM and Ministers. - They have been around for centuries (formerly called the Law Lords), are mainly former Conservative members and interpret the actual wording of Laws.
And in the midst of a Government that has no majority the opposition refuse to settle for dissolution and a General Election. - Because Boris has the power to have moved the date from his stated Oct 16th to Oct 30th meaning no-deal would have happened by default with Parliament closed. Now that an election cannot be called before the 31st October I am sure you will see a no confidence vote with Parliament closing on October 31st.
So we have a totally inept Tory and Labour lot and the bastions of democracy the Liberal Democrats now aka Liberal Non-democrats will simply ignore the 2016 referendum result and revoke Article 50 if they get into power. - If they win enough seats to make it happen then that is the democratic view of the people.
Pity the Army is so short of staff we can't have a brief coup and lock up 650 men and women and start again - I know, let's have a military coup to restore our centuries old Parliamentary democracy by locking up our democratically elected Members of Parliament. The people would elect a new set of MPs who would still not be able to decide which Brexit or non Brexit they prefer. A divided country will elect a divided Parliament.
And for me the worst thing of all is that Boris thought he would get away with shutting Parliament down - So breaking the law to do so was OK?
