Civil Unrest Anyone?

[diddlydo]

Who'd like to join those like me in protest against Johnson's undemocratic behaviour?

[anotheoldgit]

Boris has checked mated the remainers and they are once again throwing their dummies out of their prams.

[Bazile]

It may not be undemocratic

However , lying about why you are doing it is shameful

Just be an honest politician and say , yes we are doing it because we want to push through a no deal if it comes to it

Did I say be an honest politician ? ....oh wait
..

"Just be an honest politician and say , yes we are doing it because we want to push through a no deal if it comes to it " - he's been saying that since he got to the steps of no 10.

It's not a question of civil unrest but uncivil unrest. Now that Boris is PM he does not need anyone's permission to roll out the water cannons. Bring it on, Boris.

'The UK would be in “unprecedented territory” if the Court of Session rules that the decision to prorogue Parliament breaks the law, according to law experts.

A legal hearing on whether the Prime Minister can legally suspend Parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit was due to be held on 6 September, but yesterday the petitioners raised an interim interdict in the Court to overturn the suspension.

It is possible that the court will hear the petition to suspend the prorogation of Parliament today, although The Scotsman understands the UK Government is attempting to push the hearing to Friday.

The petition has been lodged by a cross-party group of members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, from Scotland, Wales and England, supported by the Good Law Project. While it will be heard in a Scottish court, anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller is considering lodging a similar petition in England.'

(The interim interdict is similar to a temporary injunction outwith Scotland.)

The Queen prorogues Parliament on the PM's advice and as I understand it, the issue is not a challenge to the Queen's right to do so but the PM's advice that she should.

TTT, has Boris Johnson said he asked for the prorogation of Parliament in order to prevent Brexit on 31.10.19 from being impeded, yes or no?

[Jackdaw33]

Since when has giving advice been against the law?

[dannyk13]

Corby,//TTT, has Boris Johnson said he asked for the prorogation of Parliament in order to prevent Brexit on 31.10.19 from being impeded, yes or no//
NO.He has asked for it to allow for a Queens Speech laying out what he is proposing regarding proposals for aiding the NHS etc.

[Bazile]

Right
What im saying is that he and his ministers are denying that it is been done to give Mps less time to try and stop a no deal

Be honest and don't deny it

[ToraToraTora]

I don't know what he said TCL, I am responding to baz. The PM has all along said he'll push through nodeal if necessary.

[ToraToraTora]

yes of course baz, it's a valid tactic. No different to all the shenanigans of the VBQC over the last 3 years, all within the rules.

[spathiphyllum]

Ah yes, what the PM says.... Gospel that is.

[Bobbisox1]

More importantly
Where's Diddlydo?

[THECORBYLOON]

I have just seen that there is also a case being heard in the High Court in Belfast over the issue.

[dannyk13]

Corby //A legal hearing on whether the Prime Minister can legally suspend Parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit//
Boris's reason for the suspension:-//Boris Johnson said a Queen's Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his "very exciting agenda".//
How are they going to disprove what he has said ?

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, if I understand correctly, the "C" in "VBQC" means "collaborator(s)", is that not superfluous?

[Spicerack]

Think of a shorter word.

He has telt his cabinet a different story, it seems...

[dannyk13]

Corby, the allegation is that he did in order to force through a no deal Brexit.On the contrary he is talking about forcing the EU into a deal.

[naomi24]

The finger pointers haven’t been listening. Boris has been clear about his intentions.

//During a press conference at the conclusion of the Biarritz summit, Mr Johnson made clear he was not ruling out the use of the procedure known as prorogation to stop MPs coming together across party lines to block Brexit.//
