That's bad. Even by Boris levels. Sad.

Can anybody answer the following? (seriously or light-hearted its OK!)
What does the judgement of the Supreme Court mean in terms of the return of parliament, tomorrow, next week, when?
Is it now a new parliament or still the old one?
If its the new one, when will the Queens speech be heard?
What now happens to the Party Conferences, are they affected?
Will those MP's who haven't taken a holiday yet now not get one?
What is there to prevent Boris proroguing Parliament once again, if so will a new challenge need to be made through the Courts, the High Courts and the Supreme Court?
Will the staff working to support Parliament, now all be on overtime rates?

Brexit is a religion. The “will of god” is replaced by the “will of the people”; something equally intangible with no evidence. A referendum that was basically split down the middle does not provide any sort of “will of the people” as far as I am concerned, it has instead just been coined by brexiteers to justify their actions, much like the “will of god” is used in other religions.
Similarly, it has become a matter of faith rather than logic. People do not care about what sort of hardships they will have to endure, because the coming of Brexit will eventually grant them this paradise where everything will be ok. It no longer matters what is logical, because they are convinced that they will be rewarded in the after[Brexit]life. Sound familiar?
“Heretics” who do not follow the religion are branded as enemies of “the people” (again referring to the alleged will of the people) or traitors. It is a “them or us” situation. It is absolutely no different to religious radicalisation, as I think is proven by the rise of far right extremism and terrorism.
Unfortunately it turns out that Bojo is not the messiah, but just a very naughty boy.

Prorogation is null and void so it as if it never happened.
BoJo blatantly ignoring the new law , what a surprise.
Thanks!
I thought that the whole idea of Brexit was so that we could have British laws from British courts. Brexiteers should be ecstatic about this.
1 Return tomorrow.
2 Still the old one.
3 see above
4 Labour has cut their's short. The Tories will be asking for a break to hold their's but the other parties are saying that they will not vote in favour of this.
5 That's up to them. some MP's are saying that they are on holiday and wont be back for tomorrow.
6 He can prorogue again but only for about 5 days.
7 I don't think the Civil Service have a break when parliament is prorogued they probably work harder.
Next they will be up in arms that they can't appeal it to the European courts
I'd laugh if they even thought of taking it to the European courts.
I'm sure they would have but unfortunately (and contrary to what some brexiteers will tell you) in this instance the ecj has no jurisdiction...
Just saw I got banned from the other thread. Ah well, moving on.
Anyway to switch notifications off for that thread? Edit - figured it out

I had heard that earlier on Sky.
But how can you agree? judges are no experts
Touche.
It was never put before judges. The investigation found no evidence so that was that.
I wouldn't recommend just moving your views on this particular topic to this thread.
Eh? I was replying to another poster.
The investigation into leave.eu is something completely separate. It was reported this morning that the investigation found no evidence of criminal activity.
Right you are. Crack on.
And who says that the investigators were experts? maybe they were experts in finding stolen cars
Just brilliant.
Its interesting how Boris has such long ties like his hero.
Geoffrey Cox said:
Ironic that he uses the turkeys voting for Christmas metaphor
Cox says government will comply with no deal legislation
What an absolute Cox.
wow - thanks BBC for visiting another city that voted to leave and doing more vox pops with people wandering around at a time when most people are at work.
They need to visit a town like Manchester that had a massive pro remain stance, is outward and progressive and not riven with artificial paranoia about immigration.
There is definitely a pro-leave bias in the news reporting....endlessly having Farage and Francois onscreen rather than Caroline Lucas who actually has achieved getting a seat in parliament, unlike Farage. The BBC and the judiciary are the last bulwark we have against the reactionary forces that I refuse to classify as "populist" - another euphemism for dangerous right wingers that somehow has become acceptable. I'm at the point where I am actually making contingency plans to leave the country...if these fanatics maintain or increase their hold on the country.

presumably the second letter is something along the lines of if you grant the extension we will veto everything we can until we leave...
You've obviously been reading Boris (or Dominic's) mind. I suspect the letter will ask for an extension as required, but with postscripts or attachments making unobtainable demands of the EU, or as you say, threatening as much disruption as possible to EU Parliaments business, enthusiastically supported by Brexit Party MEP's.
Yes, I thought Cox gave a good account of himself today, his deep voice resounds in the chamber and adds a certain natural authority to his speaking. Much as it pains me to say it, nobody really laid a glove on him and at times the very muted response from the opposition benches said it all.
