meaning still no constitution........ Uncodified. Absent from legislative statutes and existing only by virtue of the common law. Sometimes used in a wider sense to refer to principles that are entirely unwritten.

Just because it's not all on a single sheet of A4 does not mean it is not a constitution.

I found this today by Hugh Grant :

 

"You will not <deleted> with my children’s future. You will not destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend. <deleted> off you over-promoted rubber bath toy. Britain is revolted by you and you little gang of masturbatory prefects. "

 

PERFECT 

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why do actors, ex footballers and others who have never had a proper job think they can lecture the country on politics? If I was a remainer I'd be embarrassed to repeat this quote. Unless you take all your moral and political guidance from actor Hugh Grant?

A remainer trying to tell me what democracy is is so funny, it's like asking Quasimodo to give a speech on homo erectus.

Me myself, I think of remainers more in terms of a homeless alcoholic attempting to give advice on the subject of responsible outdoor lager enthusiasm.

Don't you think that Johnson is an actor? Well no, more of a puppet really with Cummings pulling his strings.

It was a tongue in cheek remark but all those who wont respect the democratic referendum result and are trying to overturn the result, by undemocratic means, for starters.

 

To those who would rather see the UK suffer and be punished by the EU.

 

That will do for now.

What about those who won't respect parliamentary democracy? Are they traitors too? If yes (and it is yes) put BJ and the queen on your list.

And I can see why you prefer insults to answering interesting questions....

 

The court cases supporting the remain cause receive full media coverage, whereas Tilbrook's case was barely mentioned.

 

Evadgib raised an interesting point:-

 

 

Personally, I think it is because Boris is looking for May's agreement - with only a few tweaks on the backstop.

I think that's probably true. He might get a time limited backstop using the Alternative Arrangements Commission report as the framework. 

 

Talking of the Alternative Arrangements Commission report, funny how the 'leaked' Yellowhammer no deal project fear contents were all over the media for several days, yet the plans we now have to avoid a backstop seem to be non news. It's almost as if the mainstream media execs don't want us to leave the EU....????

Most of those who won't respect parliamentary democracy are the U-turn MP's themselves. Or maybe they didn't know what they were voting for, for the last 4 years?

They still don't know what they're voting for, Johnson hasn't got a plan yet.

I'm sure that he has. But don't you mean Cummings?

I'll repeat, Parliament voted overwhelmingly to let the people decide if we stay in or leave the EU. They handed the power to the people on this single issue. The people by a majority voted to leave the EU.

MPs who didn't get the result they wanted are trying to delay / stop Brexit. Boris is simply doing all he can to put an end to their disgraceful behaviour. How is that not respecting democracy?

Let me explain this one more time.

 

The UK is a Parliamentary democracy, the referendum was advisory which is why parliament had to vote to trigger article 50. Before executing the exit from the EU, parliament has to vote on the agreed terms. All of this is because the UK is a Parliamentary democracy. Johnson, in his action to prorogue Parliament is preventing Parliament executing it's parliamentary duty. i.e. exercising Parliamentary democracy.

 

I can understand your pique if parliament doesn't allow Brexit but it's within their power as a parliamentary democracy to do so. So not undemocratic.

 

However Johnsons actions are a deliberate attempt to subvert parliamentary democracy, therefore as undemocratic as you can get in the UK.

 

Hope that helps.

Well, imagine I would be at Hyde Park or Hugh Grant would be there and have this say..... whom do you think people would listen to? 

Is that enough for an answer? ????

And there goes this attempt...

"A Scottish judge has refused to order a temporary halt to Boris Johnson's plan to shut down the UK Parliament."

He managed to do that in a somewhat boring tone of voice and didn't even crack a smile until the very end.

 

As for the content, if we are to believe what he said is correct (I have no way of knowing that) Then it is a fait accompli and nothing can be done to halt it.

I do hate it when the talking heads keep interrupting the person that they are interviewing. It is extremely bad manners and by constantly interrupting the guest the guest cannot finish answering the question.
