Class of 75 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 29 minutes ago, shaun.lawson said: I've mentioned this before. I make no apology for mentioning it again. Somehow, you're a Liverpool supporter who supported Thatcher and supports No Deal Brexit. That is to say: you're a Liverpool supporter while simultaneously hating the city of Liverpool. wanting its people to suffer and who rejoices in their suffering. There is no other explanation. Try mentioning your curious politics in Liverpool and see how other people react. I'm not even saying this to have a pop, by the way. I'm highlighting it because it's completely bewildering. It's like someone from Detroit cheering the devastation of the car industry there. Or someone from Newcastle cheering the destruction of heavy industry. Or someone from Wales celebrating the impoverishment of the entire country. It's absurd. But for you to be a Liverpool supporter while having your politics requires lashings and lashings of this thing called... cognitive dissonance. Watching you on the last few pages desperately trying to square your prejudices with reality has been, well, quite the spectacle. It always is with No Deal Brexiteers. At what point you're going to wake up and have the humility to admit "you know what? I got this wrong. I got something big wrong", I have no idea. I realise hell will probably have to freeze over first. Brexit is a shitshow. An absolute shitshow. And the reason it's a shitshow is because it's not and has never been based on facts, or anything even on the same planet as reality. Brexiteers keep smashing into reality and keep blaming it on everyone else. Looking at themselves and realising they got it wrong is, clearly, beyond terrifying to them. As though their entire world will come crashing around their ears if they ever do. What will it be next, Seymour? You support the Tories because they're the party of the economy? You support the Tories because they're the party of law and order? This is a party which actively wants to lay waste to the UK economy and isn't interested in following the law unless it involves locking up the poor. It's a party which deserves to die, and couldn't possibly be less patriotic if it tried. In any other democracy not named the USA, the Prime Minister would now be required - including by his own party - to resign. For misleading the sovereign and trying to break the law for nakedly political purposes. But this is the Banana Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - so let's have a bunch of excuses, distractions and drivel instead. Sure you're not confusing the Tory Party with Labour and Corbyn? If he were to get into power the description you give of this country will be a reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Z Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 2 hours ago, Seymour M Hersh said: So what Law has been broken here? I'll stick a quote in from a constitutional law expert here as it's above my pay grade. "There is no law that says Parliament must be in continuous session, and no law which lays down what reasons a government may or may not properly take into account in deciding to prorogue Parliament." That's the fun of an unwritten constitution, I suppose. Certainly, underlying constitutional principles of good governance, separation of powers and checks between branches are important and ought to be considered "above" any statutory act. It has long been held that the government being accountable to Parliament, especially the Commons, is part of the constitutional order, but it's not written anywhere in That's also why there's no legal penalty for breaching them; rather, in accordance with convention one might resign for doing so. 2 hours ago, The Real Maroonblood said: So he/she must think the Supreme Court is wrong. I mean, I've directly criticised decisions the Supreme Court in the US has made and I'm just some pissant of a former lawyer who has one trial to his name Although, to be fair I've never been outwardly critical of a unanimous, completely obvious under the constitutional order, decision. 2 hours ago, Seymour M Hersh said: What law was broken? Genuine question. Think of Johnson's act as tearing at the fabric of the UK, because that's what the constitution is. It's far more serious and solemn than the breaking of a simple statute. 2 hours ago, Taffin said: No law has been broken. Hence why the same point doesn't stand. [Illegal and unlawful] don't mean the same thing. True but for all intents and purposes they're interchangeable imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Amber Rudd. Cabinet not consulted re prorogation. Cabinet told legal advice would support. Cabinet members asked to see legal advice. Cabinet members never saw legal advice. Further evidence that this is a gangster cabal government of micro management. Puppet cabinet sidelined. The whole show being run by a tiny number of maniacs (BJ, JRM, Leadsom, Patel and the weirdo). Hell ****ing mend Rudd though. Another one who should never again darken the doors of power.

Victorian Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Brown was definitely a coronation. He faced much less of a leadership contest than the Tory shambles. In hindsight, Brown was an awful PM. He had a terrible manner and routinely treated colleagues poorly. Blair sidelined his cabinet but Brown had contempt for his.

Victorian Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Parliament will be a riotous pantomime. Opposition benches will be in giddy uproar. Treasury benches will be subdued and contemptuous. Whichever talking mannequin the government puts up to face the music will talk a load of shite and not answer anything.

Mikey1874 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The privileged choosing what laws or court judgements they agree with carries some risks. Ordinary people shifting from being generally law abiding, which they are to deciding to disregard the law would be interesting. There are certainly a lot of opportunities. You see this in places like Iran where militias have developed who follow their own rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
