Cox has a wonderful voice
Brexit related judicial reviews: Supreme Court | Judgment: Prorogation was unlawful
- Thread starter owlo
- Start date
He's went all Mark Antony. The judiciary are honorable men, so are they all, all honorable men.
Honestly I love the House of Commons 
This is disingenuous. Why did you choose those dates?
The exchange rate plummeted with the EU referendum even before the result.
What was the exchange rate 1st Jan 2016?
Who knew this could be so entertaining
Beat me to it. We used the same word to describe the post. Disingenuous. It's an extremely accurate use of the word.
It isn't disengenious in the slightest. They are the facts - actual facts, not speculation or opinion.
As I understand it, you're now saying Stg didn't crash - the Euro has strengthened.
So has Stg crashed or not ?
If you think it has, then I'll repeat that the UK's membership of the EU or forthcoming Brexit has bugger all to do with the FX Rate.
If you think it hasn't crashed, then let's stop having the phrase constantly repeated.
The loony leave fringe of my UK relations were saying the same - brainwashing is epidemic, gladly only the gullibles are receptive.
Cox living up to his name.
Are you for real? Stop trying to twist people's words. I said it crashed from 2016 > now. Your post was in relation to 2001 > 2016.
In 2001 > 2016 the Euro strengthened. The Sterling didn't crash, it maintained it's strength against all other major currencies (apart from during the recession). The Euro grew in strength against all other major currencies. Therefore the Euro gained in value, clearly.
From 2016 > now the Sterling crashed. It's gone down in value by an unprecedented level against USD, Euro and other major currencies. That's a crash/collapse/whatever you want to call it.
And again, what the feck does the performance of the sterling against the Euro in the year's 2001 > 2016 have to fecking do with anything? You seem to be trying to blame the EU for their currency rising in value against the Sterling, as if they planned it as some way to feck Britain over
If you think the Sterling crashing since the referendum result is pure coincidence and unrelated to the EU then that's ridiculous.
He's more like David Moyes.
Completely underqualified for the job he's found himself into. Gets defeated everywhere he plays. A laughing stock that his opponents are happy to keep in place. Won't even see a year out in the job.
I think I have been tagged for this post but unsure?
17.2 million gullibles...
But you are right. Brainwashing is endemic and I never cease to be amazed how readily some people seem to lap it up. The person I was speaking with is actually an otherwise quite intelligent person. He just has an issue with the EU. Another colleague repeatedly insists that the EU budget has never been approved, which is completely incorrect, as I repeatedly tell him. He is an avid reader of the Daily Mail.
I rest my case.
I quoted the wrong post originally and edited the quote afterwards. That was probably your post that was originally quoted
Cox played a blinder there. Some great quotes. Brexiter’s would have loved that.
Labour totally unprepared on how to capitalise on Cox position. Need to up really up their game today.

No problem. I enjoyed your post anyway
I am flabbergasted by all of this.
Bickering over whether it was lawful, unlawful, a new law, a new principle. It's just one big tug of war over something that is broken in any case is it not? Like, this Parliament is broken. It can't agree on any particular direction whatsoever, so why the feck is no actual action taking place.

Cox going for broke after losing any shred of credibility he may have had yesterday.
Showboating for tomorrow's Mail headlne: 'This parliament is a disgrace'.
The Republicans also feign outrage whenever they've done something outrageous.
I can scaresly believe my ears.
Some Conservatives are now trying to convince themselves that the unlawful suspension of parliament is now infact not unlawful because the Supreme Court has passed a new law.
And therefore, at the time of proroguing Parliament, Boris Johnson was right.....
They have been reminded by the Aty General that this is completely incorrect and that proroguing parliament was unlawful at the time it was enacted.

Shameless double-downing.

Yes I'm for real.
Steling has ' collapsed ' in value in what has been a constant decline for 50-odd years - starting long before the EU ever existed.
Trying to claim Brexit has caused Steling to collapse is bollocks.
The threat of Brexit has caused it to decline more quickly - but in percentage terms, not very much. more quickly. And that is due to uncertainty about what will happen. In othe words, speculation and uncertainty
The decline in Sterling's value over the past 50-odd years was nothing to do with uncertainty
Is that actually what they are saying?
Utterly shambolic and shows they have nothing but contempt for law and even decency.
From your POV.
I suspect Brexiter’s and Tory lifers will have loved it. Opposition MPs really cocked that up.
His showboating and bluster is outrageous. He is trying to shift all the blame onto the opposition for not calling a GE.
His behaviour is appalling and he has shown zero contrition.
A pathetic little man alright, hopefully not in post for too much longer after some democracy catches up with him.
There have been many reasons why Sterling's value has decreased over the years but without any doubt the reason of its demise since November 2015 has been because of Brexit uncertainty. And when the UK leave it will drop again, I absolutely guarantee it. Mogg and co are banking on it, aided by the gullibles.
I'm safely assuming you did not work with the GBP-EUR exchange rate from 2016 onwards. If you did, as I did, you would have seen the fall in GBP value in the build up to the referendum. Then the plummeting value of GBP-EUR following the referendum result. It's an unquestionable fact.
Most leave voters would accept this is a fact but could argue that exchange rates are based on 'confidence in the market' and that was influenced by scared remainers.
Are you really arguing the fact that GBP plummeted in value against the EUR due to the EU referendum? Really? I could be misunderstanding your posts.
The amount the sterling has gone down in the last 3 years against major currencies is completely unprecented. If you want to ignore stats and facts then that's on you.
There is an ever expanding list of enemies for the Brexiteers.
Makes you wonder if they will ever consider that the problem might be them.

Know your place woman.
Talk about a completely disingenuous point.
Atleast have a shred of dignity when posting this stuff as you know its nonsense.
We are heading towards the US.
Ex Barmaid.
As if it's something to be ashamed of.
fecking hate the Daily Mail.

...but with a spider broach. How dreadful.
The suggestion that the judiciary set a trap for Johnson is even worse than their puerile attack on the individual judge in question.
At what time does Boris make his statement in the commons?
