Prorogation - Judgment Day:10.30am Tuesday 24/9/19

[lancs blue]

Farage: Dominic Cummings must go!

Hahaha.

Farage has a fucking nerve, he's an utterly shameless ****.

 

[Neville Kneville]

When they open it again, wonder if they'll find Dennis Skinner still in there?

Brilliant.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Farage has a fucking nerve, he's an utterly shameless ****.

And even worse than Bozo.

 

[M18CTID]

He’s a dick . Proroguing Parliament was unnecessary. Bad call.

There may be a few cheap hotel rooms in Manchester in the next few days

Yep. Humungous own goal. Maybe he didn't think anyone would challenge it in court? On that note, when John Major did it did no-one challenge it? And if they had, is it likely the same verdict would've been reached?

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

The decision that 'Prorogation didn't happen' also means that the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by May cannot be brought back to the floor as its been heard three times

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

I'm a bit pissed off that Bercow wants parliament to reconvene straight away because I really want to see the Tory conference (next week?). Got some popcorn in.

 

[Rascal]

And even after all that I still don’t think Corbyn will win an election and I’ll bet the conservatives will be top of the next set of polls ...

This is way more important than who wins an election, who is PM or anything,. Today was historical because it established the rights of the legislature to hold the executive to account. That is a big win for democracy, huge win and it doesn't matter which party you support you should be delighted that our democracy is safe from being used for nefarious ends.

The justices concluded that as a result of Johnsons actions "the effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme" That is coruscating.

Thank fuck, we have an independent Judiciary.

 

[M18CTID]

Is there still any old law or any power the Queen has where she can have his head off at the Tower of London?

I thought treason was still punishable by death in this country?

 

[7evens]

Nothing will change or happen.

 

[Rascal]

I think the only law that still carries the death penalty is treason.

Could he be tried for treason? I don't know

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Can anyone explain the difference between "acted in an unlawful manner" and "broken the law?" I've noticed everyone on the news is being very careful to not say the latter.

Nothing still carries the death penalty.

They were testing the water, for doing it again.

No political party should ever be able to behave like this again, it's dangerous.

Astonishing sentence in the court's judgment :

"It is impossible for us to conclude on the evidence... that there was any reason - let alone a good reason - to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament for five weeks."

Not just that the government didn't have a good reason for prorogation but it had no reason at all!

Referendum.

That was high treason and that law was changed in 1998.

 

[SWP's back]

Under EU law that was done away with.

 

[SWP's back]

There’s a fucking huge spider crawling up her blouse. She’s gonna freak when she sees it.

 

[west didsblue]

Under EU law that was done away with.

It was the crime and disorder act 1998 that got rid of it.
