shoota

please tell me youre not surprised...
John Humphreys has a lot to say in his book about their bias

[ToraToraTora]

err sorry I don't speak Lib NonDem, are you taking the bet or not? Usual rules £20 to chiridee?

[shoota]

I'm not a fan of the BBC - I'd happily prorogue them...

[ToraToraTora]

no bednobs it's a noun part of the title. Eg Greater London, Great Yarmouth, etc

[bednobs]

not that i know a whole lot about adjectives but my 7 year old told me (she is doing it at school atm)

[bednobs]

Isnt the britain bit the noun and the great the adjective?

[ToraToraTora]

no

[THELOONYCORBYN]

back to the OP

"What now for Boris?"

he carries on and takes us out of the eussr as planned and sticks it to all those saboteurs and traitors doing everything they can to try and make sure the wishes of the 17plus million are ignored...

[THECORBYLOON]

If the Judges on the Supreme Court are as biased as some are claiming, why were some arguing the decision would go in the Government's favour if the bias were so clear.

[Spicerack]

For someone who doesn't hate the English, maggie does a great impression of someone who does.
How ungrateful can you get to the people that feed you?

[THELOONYCORBYN]

"why were some arguing the decision would go in the Government's favour if the bias were so clear."

because they are entitled to their opinions based on whatever knowledge they have, and im willing to bet the vast majority knew nothing of the eussr links in the backgrounds of this lot, if they did they may not have been so sure

[ToraToraTora]

good point spice. Anyway I'm proroguing myself for lunch, let me know if any common sense breaks out!

[drmorgans]

Saboteurs, traitors? Is that really appropriate language to use about people who have different views to you?

[jim360]

Stuff and nonsense from TLC above. As a matter of fact, the only time Brexit and its effects came up, the Courts shot down the lawyer talking about it in extremely strong terms. This case is *not* about Brexit. It is about the balance of Government and Parliament.

[Ellipsis]

As you were ...

70. It follows that Parliament has not been prorogued and that this court should make declarations to that effect. We have been told by counsel for the Prime Minister that he will “take all necessary steps to comply with the terms of any declaration made by the court” and we expect him to do so. However, it appears to us that, as Parliament is not prorogued, it is for Parliament to decide what to do next. There is no need for Parliament to be recalled under the Meeting of Parliament Act 1797. Nor has Parliament voted to adjourn or go into recess. Unless there is some Parliamentary rule to the contrary of which we are unaware, the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker can take immediate steps to enable each House to meet as soon as possible to decide upon a way forward. That would, of course, be a proceeding in Parliament which could not be called in question in this or any other court.

[HansUrbancka]

Does it now mean that, as her Majesty prorogued Parliament, the Prime Minister must now seek permission from the Queen to unprorogue ( if that's the word). ??

Hans.

[jim360]

Also no, Hans. The Supreme Court has ruled that the Order to prorogue was in itself unlawful, and therefore of no effect, and Parliament has therefore not been (lawfully) prorogued. It is a matter for the Speakers to reconvene Parliament, rather than the Prime Minister or Queen.

[Arksided]

All Boris wanted to do was stop all the remoaners continuing to prolong the inevitable. As for the judge well its obvious where he stands (IMO) however if it is classed as unlawful... why hasn't so many other MP's being held accountable for their actions.

[drmorgans]

But one parliament's roles is to scrutinise government. We don't live in a dictatorship.

[jno]

Hans, no, parliament was not prorogued. They just get on with their work. Boris may fly back from America for the occasion unless there is some rule about letting lawbreakers into the country.
