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

I need the company although Dumfries & Galloway is very much English money.

Truly the forgotten arse end of Scotland although its the most beautiful.

I have family down that way. Beautiful but not as dramatic as the west coast but fantastic.

We aren't going anywhere. We like it. What we will do hopefully is create a better place and attract another 500,000 English people to come live and work here as a better fairer place. Tory free. That's worth fighting for.

You must like Ruth , she is one of the good ones

So was it an English or Scottish court that got it wrong originally?

Both :)

Fortunately a panel made up of English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish judges put them both right

Question for you who i think is a lawyer and @gordondaviesmoustache

Cherry is a QC and brought part of the case along with others who are possibly also of the legal profession in parliament. Could they not do the case themselves legally or is it a case of they are not at the level of those they asked?

 

[Grassland Blue]

There is no deal ever going to be passed.

SNP wont vote for anything, neither will the lib dems and neither will a few Tories, those now independent and a sizeable chunk of the Labour party.

Grieve this morning summed it up and he is one of the twats but he was correct, fuck all is changing and a GE anytime soon will bring back an equally split and divided parliament yet again.

Trouble with a second ref is it doesnt stand any chance as the result of the first has not been respected so im fucked if im going to respect the result of a second or third or fourth or however many we have until remain wins and then people try telling us its the will of the people and how its brought us all back together and its the end of it.

Only way this ends is by leaving and then if its shit, rejoining.

Anything else will rip our democracy apart like nothing else has or ever will imo.

Yes, I think that we will leave.
The only choice is whether we leave with something or a no deal, which I don't think anyone (or very few) wanted.

Seems the attorney general advised the govt this was all lawful.

Oh dear

What a shit show

Trouble with the law is its interpretation so i dont think blame will be attached as its a judgement that has been made and with any judgement in law, others will disagree.

Boris will throw him to the wolves though if it helps him.

The lawyer that represents himself has a fool for his client

Seriously, she's a QC at the Scottish bar,. She could have dealt with the case in Scotland (and the appeal in the Supreme Court) but would have been most unwise to have done so. She couldn't have done the English case because she isn't a member (IIRC) of the English Bar.

Not sure if by 'not at the level' you mean inferior in status or just not as good. There is no prohibition in terms of status - any barrister could (in law and in theory) have dealt with the case, because if you are a barrister at all (whether a QC or not) you have rights of audience in any court, including the Supreme Court. If you mean 'is she as good as the Scottish QCs' I don't know because I've never seen her advocacy. I wasn't however over impressed with the advocacy from either of the Scottish QCs, either the one acting for Joanna Cherry or the one acting for the UK government.

Of course, funnily enough that advice was retracted in the court bundle now it’s suddenly been leaked.

Thanks for your answer and yes, i was asking is her level up there with the so called best.

I also had no idea that as a member of the Scottish bar you cant sit in an English court?

I watched the morning one of the Scottish QC's did his bit and remember the judges getting a tad pissed off with him as he tried a bit too hard to be clever in front of them.

I will have a word for you. Still many battles to go though, so don't pack just yet.

I'm available and only a wee bit despotic.

She's a total cow who changes her mind all the time. She gets a good press only from right wing outlets, believe me she is a joke and fucked off before her party up here are skinned alive.

 

[BobKowalski]

Magicpole, meet Bob



Bob, meet Magicpole



Only went to the Inner house of the court of session because the outer house of the court of session got it wrong. How stupid that judge must feel today. Thankfully, as Bob will confirm, the English judges in the supreme court meant he couldn't get away with it

;)

*Waves to @Magicpole *

Does this mean we we have to go out on a date now or something?
