Nobody beats the establishment in the long run. Democracy is eye candy, in a way the Chinese are more honest about the way they govern because the establishment is in the open and everyone knows who holds the stick, in the West nobody knows who holds it but they are very good at pretending the people do. It makes no difference as long as you don't believe the BS and lose your legs for Queen and country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the verdict here essentially takes us back to 1997 when the then PM John Major prorogued parliament for 3 weeks to stop an inquiry into his govts corruption. So by the fruit of the poisoned tree principles anything that took place after this illegal act effectively didn't happen. All jails will be emptied(except for the few lifers convicted before 1997), all buildings made after 1997 will be tore down as planning has been deemed null and void. At least we can smoke inside pubs again, as from 20 minutes ago. The ramifications of this will be earth shattering. All to undo the democratic will and referendum result voted by 17.4 million people. Let the madness begin! Is this post meant for comedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err...excuse me. Did I miss something here? Weren't we due to leave at the end of March? Wasn't the only reason that we didn't leave because the ERG wanted a no deal brexit and voted against Mays deal? Isn't it true that if all Tory MPs and the DUP (who did vote for Mays deal) had voted for May's deal, we would have been out of the EU long ago? Don't try to shift the blame, the Tory extreme right (including Johnson) shot themselves in the foot. But, of course, deflection is the Brexiteer modus operandi. And don't give us "May's deal was BRINO". Complete nonsense, the only difference between May's deal and a no deal Brexit was that we would have separated from the EU in an orderly manner. The backstop, remaining in the CU and the Irish border needed a technological solution to resolve it. A technology that doesn't exist currently. Impartial observers reckoned that it would take 3-5 years to develop. Johnson reckoned it was doable in 2. And then we would have been out of the customs union. The backstop hasn't been used by the remain camp to keep us in the EU, it's been used by the extreme right Tories to ensuere that we crash out with no deal and the ERG can make their fortunes from watching the economy crash and burn, which they have gambled on. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blue Muton Posted September 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2019 14 hours ago, JAG said: Well I have to say that I am not particularly surprised. The "Remain Campaign" has from before the referendum, been very much the child of the establishment. The courts are after all the product of the establishment, and I suspect that the government realised that from the start. Amidst the whole sea of opinions, campaigns, parliamentary and party machinations a couple of fixed points poke out of the foam. One: the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in the referendum. Two: the subsequent general election returned a parliament, of which the overwhelming majority of members, on both sides of the house, were elected on manifestoes which stated that the result of the referendum was to be honoured, and the UK was to leave the EU. Both results, obtained through the ballot box, have effectively been overturned by this establishment, and a general election, the proper constitutional means to arrive at a solution has been denied. It is tempting if perhaps melodramatic to suggest that the establishment has vigorously and contemptibly put two fingers up to the electorate. Where do we go from here? I suspect that it will be some time before we have an election - the Labour Party, which has spent the last week in conference busily confirming its reputation as being unelectable will not want one until they are sure that they can win it - a long wait; and the Conservative rebels will not want one unless they can oust Johnson and his team and replace them with their own people, if they don't manage that then they know that come an election they will be toast! We are probably in for quite a long period of a stalled government, and yet more choleric grandstanding from Mr Speaker Bercow - he won't resign now! Yet again: The result of a referendum marred by most serious electoral fraud committed by the leave campaign deserves no respect, and no honouring. Had the leave campaign shown any respect for the rule of law covering the referendum you might have had a point. They didn't and you don't, no matter how many times you repeat it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
