Brexit related judicial reviews: Supreme Court | Judgment: Prorogation was unlawful

Congratulations on your degree and subsequent career.
The primary reason I voted to remain was that I could only see our fragile economy being adversely affected by leaving. It had only begun to recover from the global financial crisis and the very last thing we needed was further uncertainty and instability.
Like it or not, we are competing in a global economy and the EU is in a much more advantageous position to negotiate trade deals.
You are quite right. The referendum was a disaster of the highest order. Self inflicted damage which many people will pay for with jobs or lower standard of living.
I hear leavers complaing that the majority of parliament are remainers. Hardly a surprise given that they should understand the issues better than most.
Lastly. I am appalled at the shameful behaviour of Boris Johnson. He has treated parliament and the Queen with utter distain.
He needs to show some humility and respect for the electorate. We are not all as stupid as he so obviously thinks.
Treason I say. Chuck him in the tower, at visiting time stick him in the stocks and let people throw particularly disgusting things at him.
 
How can people be of the opinion that the Irish backstop is nothing to the EU?

Do they think the single market means nothing to them as well?
 
The EU were never going to give us everything we wanted, otherwise it would be regarded as a pointless institution.
The Irish backstop issue is nothing to them, which is why we'll see them concede this if Boris is allowed to push his do or die agenda for Oct 31st departure (seems unlikely now).
It would still be a ridiculously good deal for the EU, but be bad for us.
So what replaces the Backstop?
 
thinking the United States of Europe was an actual possibility or risk is yet another example of why referendums are a fecking terrible idea.

Absolutely. The UK had already stated that it would not have been the subject of further EU integration.
 
It's scary to honour the democratic will of the people?
No, it’s scary to me that despite all that has happened in the past three years post the vote, the results of another referendum are unlikely to be overwhelmingly remain.
 
It's scary to honour the democratic will of the people?

Nah its scary that soo many people would rather walk themselves off a cliff rather than just admit that they were tricked or that they voted on something they didn't have knowledge of. They would rather endanger the lives of their children, grandchildren and future linerage for this entrenched stubborness even when every conceivable thing in front of them is telling them its a bad idea.

Bear in mind that he suggested that UK should be members of the single market and custom union while being in their own jurisdiction. It's as if other countries interests don't really exist or matter.

Utterly, utterly deluded.

A fantasy. It is everything to them because it is everything to Ireland. Can't brexiteers understand this simple point?
 
You know that and I know that....But the EU also knew that including it in a WDA would get the WDA voted down in the UK Parliament and the UK then would still be trapped in the EU.




You're absolutley right....

Ultimatley, they have been lied to by the Politicians who said ' We will leave the EU if that's what you vote for '

Strangely enough, people believed that.

Well it's a rather difficult thing to do, which is something leave voters don't seem to understand.

I've lost count of how many just get on with it remarks I've seen from members of the public. Like it's really simple or easy

:lol:

Nothing about it is a bad idea. Nothing butt uncertainty is harming us. The rest is just you being scared by the things you choose to listen to.
 
What do you mean by ' a deal '

The EU cleverly trapped May into saying they couldn't even start to discuss a Trade Agreement ( is that what you mean by ' deal ' ? ) until a Withdrawl Agreement was agreed and implemented, and then put conditions into the Withdrawl Agreement which they knew would be unacceptable to the Pro-Brext groups in the UK parliament.

So the UK is trapped in never-never land from now until....until....Feck knows when....And at a cost of £1.3 billion per month.

Are you referring to the back-stop? The same back-stop that was proposed by the UK and not the EU?
 
The leave campaign being fined for lying about reasons to leave? Like the NHS funding stats on buses.

The 3 years of utter chaos.

Government officials saying a no deal brexit would lead to fresh food and medicine shortages?

I think people voted to leave because they felt ignored by the Government and the media and they thought voting to leave would do something about it.

They were lied to.

Let's just address these points.

Elements of remain and leave were fined. Some of those fines were overturned (beleave). Two criminal investigations into leave found no evidence of illegal activity.

The 3 years of wasted time are primarily down to parliament, not leave voters. They have failed in their jobs, not only with regard to brexit but on all aspects of their role.
 
He's also the CoS. Look at the things ex cabinet members are saying. He is running things.

Not for long I would hope. He is an unelected bully boy who should be nowhere near government.
I said at the time. It was a big mistake of Boris.
The British people support fair play and dislike self opionated bullies.
 
The irony in all of this is my favourite part. Many Brexiteers going on and on about taking the law away from EU courts and giving the power back to the UK, and then in this situation the UK courts are ruling against them :lol:
and some then asking if it can be referred to the European courts. :lol:
 
A fantasy. It is everything to them because it is everything to Ireland. Can't brexiteers understand this simole point?

Well we'll see. If Boris pushes to leave on Oct 31st, we'll see the EU concede on this. Boris will then offer May's deal again to parliament with the Irish fix. That's what I think will happen.

Maybe they couldn't care less about Ireland. All they care about is little old England and feck everyone else. We'll do trade with the commonwealth, the commonwealth we told to feck off as we were joining the EU and didn't need them any longer. Good luck there.

They either do not understand or (more likely) simply do not give two shits about it and can't understand why anybody else does.

I'm afraid this is very much just a part of how a lot of the English tend to operate when it comes to such things.

The EU are not going to concede on the back-stop. It may be tweaked slightly, it may even be renamed and rebranded but it will remain in place because there is no alternative. It may be difficult for you to grasp but the EU value the rights and views of their member states higher than those of the UK now.
 
Someone in the government has leaked documents showing Cox's legal advice. Throwing him under the bus picking him up and throwing him under another bus
 
Utterly, utterly deluded.

:lol:

You guys really don't understand the EU. The Irish back stop issue was never even mentioned until Barnier brought it up as part of the initial negotiations.
It's a problem because the EU have made it a negotiating tactic. Everything the EU says is divinely uttered to you guys in this thread.

But as I said, if Boris isn't thwarted in his efforts to leave on 31st, you'll see movement on this by the EU. Watch and see.
 
As one of the 17.4M, it's always nice to drop in on you guys now and again.

Eh, you're probably right. I do think your repeated and consistent demonstrations that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about when it comes to the EU is probably a quality you do share with other Leave voters.
 
:lol:

Ok great, so...

WHAT REPLACES THE BACKSTOP?

Oh I'll watch and see and will sit back with fascination as you try to wriggle out of having said this when the back-stop remains firmly in place in any deal. Please do tell us what the alternative is. Clearly to have such a firm view on it you have figured out what could be put in place to replace it.

Doubt its still 17.4m now as at least a few hundred thousand will have died each year since 2016 given the sheer number of older voters that voted leave in 2016.

Don't mix idiocy with arrogance it's not a good look.

i'm sure you can arrive at why the irish backstop is not just a negotiating tactic by the EU
 

They can 'think' what they like. Problem is no-one can 'out think' the Supreme High Court. What they going to do, challenge the High Court? To whom? I dare them to go to the EU court.

Also BJ's mouthpiece (pun intended) doing her job.
