Don't think any of them really give a fuck about any of us, all in it for their own ends, the country's in a major mess.

Am I the only person seeing the irony of a bunch of Old Etonians complaining about an “establishment stitch-up”?

I think it's been noted. The whole thing is a mass of irony. |

Am I being thick here? I thought it was 11 judges who gave the judgment?
It was. There's 12 Supreme Court judges but only 11 were used in this case, to avoid a potential 50/50 split. |

I'd never wish to ignore you  but if it was me then I was winging it even more than usual as I've never even seen Sumption's Reith lectures. The only comment I can recall making on the legal challenges was something to the effect that I could see why the Scottish judges would be angered by Johnson's blatant misuse of the prorogation process but that the Supreme Court would back the English ruling not the Scottish one. Yet another thing I was wrong about! I got my understanding re 'lack of jurisdiction' from The Times. They may have got it from Sumption I guess? It was someone on here who mentioned the lectures which caused me to go listen to them, which I was very grateful for. Apologies to both you and whoever it was who signposted me to them for the confusion (and my lack of gratitude to whoever did point them out). |

Some misconceptions in the last couple of posts. Boris has acted unlawfully as he he has tried something on that is outside of the law.
What he did isn't illegal, he didn't break any laws.

Just watching the debate in Parliament and the most striking thing is that the local boy made good, Geoffrey Cox, is a bit of a prick.

Brexiteers: "We have to leave the EU to take back control from the undemocratic ECJ. We demand British laws, enforced by British judges in British courts!"
Supreme Court: "OK"
Brexiteers: "No, no, not like that."

Not according to this guy, who I think knows more about this area than either of us, he says Illegality is precisely the right term: https://twitter.com/davidallengreen/status/1176817155821789185?s=20It matters little what term is used though. The important thing is when is Johnson getting carted off to the tower? |

A nasty piece of work cut from the same cloth as Buckland..... both voting against legislation to clamp down on rogue landlords, both are landlords, and both being implicated in at best dodgy film companies used for tax evasion. |

The difference is that they know the law much better than we do, if only I'd trained to be an MP Instead of a lorry driver. |
