This might get ugly. Johnson's now fighting for his political career. | | | | | I can't wait to see Trump's take on this, given how wholeheartedly he's endorsed BoJo. Maybe people will start to see that what Trump wants is good only for Trump.

Another court ruling today! | Quote: |  | | | Google does not have to apply Europe’s landmark “right to be forgotten” law globally, the continent’s highest court has ruled.
The right to be forgotten was enshrined by the European court of justice in 2014, when it said Google must delete “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant” data from its results when a member of the public requests it.
On Tuesday, the ECJ ruled that there was no obligation under EU law for a search engine operator to extend the 2014 ruling beyond the EU member states. | | | | | More details here Source
So if Brexit happens, Brits lose the “right to be forgotten”.

BoJo 'strongly disagrees'.
To be fair it was a reasonable statement given the kicking he just got. He respects, the judicial system, will abide by the decision though he disagrees with it, no whining like a little bitch or clownish blasting of 'so called judges'.
Well so far at least.

Wonder if he's consulting Steve Bannon on what to do next.

BoJo is styling it out in NY. His language use is very interesting: very low key, "I don't think", "we" "us"...
He "strongly disagrees" with the Supreme court ruling and intends to leave with a deal.
"As the law currently stands "... he keeps saying this. He is one dangerous individual. I don't know how he can stay as PM after this.

Someone call an ambulance for Boris.  | Quote: | | | | | @guyverhofstadt
At least one big relief in the Brexit saga: the rule of law in the UK is alive & kicking. Parliaments should never be silenced in a real democracy.
I never want to hear Boris Johnson or any other Brexiteer say again that the European Union is undemocratic.
