For RufusB in particular. It's as if he's read your mind (please see video link)  And before anyone bothers to embark on a "I hate James O'Brien" assault, he wrote a bloody brilliant book about all this. "John Major is going to court to protect you from politicians in his own party who are lying to you. And Daily Mail columnists are loving the fact that you're being lied to." https://twitter.com/LBC/status/1167387719833665536 | The following 2 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Rejected.
Judge rejects temporary ban on Parliament shutdown ahead of full hearing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-49521132 Responding to Friday's ruling, a UK government spokesman said: "As we have set out, the government needs to bring forward a strong domestic legislative agenda and MPs are not prevented from scrutinising our withdrawal from the EU.
No surprise there then. | This user groans at Clocker for this post: | |

The temporary ban has been rejected pending full hearing of the merits of the case next Tuesday. You're not good at understanding how the law operates, are you!

Edit: Wish I could find it now but I can't, I was reading the whispered comments reportedly from a prominent former Tory MP last night who said that if the Cherry case is successful, it could indicate or warrant an assumption that Rees-Mogg lied to the Queen in his role as Privy Council. It's a very, very long shot, but I wonder if he would dare to.

This Brexit business has been going in circles for the last 3 years and judging from all the crap comming out, especially from retired politicians, notable Bliar and Major, it will continue going in circles untill we're all pushing up the daisies.
Somebody some time has to make her feelings known via whichever channel she may want to do this, and whilst it's not consitutional for the reigning Monarch to dabble in politics normaly, she is the head of state and needs to guide as succesive governments have all proven incapable of doing so.
The Queen has to have an opinion one way or another, failing which she should abdicate, and process repeated for Dumbo, until we get a clear indication.
It's her bloody country after all, we are told often enough !

If you've a problem with the headline, speak to the BBC, for these are their words, not mine, as you well know! |
