Off Topic Brexit - must go to parliament

Some remainers are seeing this as a U-turn, predicting that parliament will frustrate the process of leaving until it becomes impossible to leave, whilst reporters are saying that the end of March deadline will remain, as politicians do not want to be seen to be denying the will of the people.

Either way, a spanner has been thrown into the works, it won't be as straightforward as May had hoped, so we have to see what the next step is.

A big positive for me, is that Scotland need not be consulted independently - shove that in your king prawn Sturge you disgusting ****ing pigeon.

 

And there's me thinking we lived in a democracy.

 

FWIW Billy, I think even Corbyn is saying he has no intention of letting his party frustrate the will of the people, but because we're changing UK laws, we have to let our lawmakers vote on it. All Labour seem intent on doing is protecting the UK from becoming a tax haven, which I certainly agree with.

They won't get a vote on remaining in the free-trade zone, only certain laws that the EU have implemented, that will inevitably need to be kept/amended or scrapped.

I'm not too bothered... yet.

 

Tenuous link to the Compensation thread, the great British Judiciary putting two fingers up at the public who voted in the majority to leave.

That same public voted in the Conservatives to run the country on our behalf so where do these top judges get off by ignoring democracy.

This countries judicial system is an utter joke.

 

I don't trust any of the ****s mate.
They'll get their way one way or another.

 

This is why I have no time for politicians and am not interested in politics.

 

I agree in principal mate, but if we are required to change a law - that the EU have imposed, then perhaps it's a good thing that a single party is not left to it's own devices. I've voted in Conservatives, but I'd be livid if Labour were in and were having the freedom, under Jeremy Corbyn of all people, to amend laws, without consulting parliament.

That's the reason the Supreme Court has ruled this, so I think it's fair, for now. If individual politicians attempt to overturn the will of the people, I'd expect them to be drowned in boiling tar, at least to begin with.

 

The correct decision. I voted in the conservatives but they can't be allowed to make decisions on their own. Most brexiteers wouldn't trust them on more national things so i find it weird when they just demand they plough on on something far more significant. It needs parliament wide involvement.

 

I can't see any serious politicians attempt to overturn it. It would be political suicide

 

Those who are MP's for constituencies that voted to remain, are on a hiding to nothing in my opinion.

Keep your head down, would be my advice.

 

May said last week she was going to put it to parliament so she's somewhat pre-empted today's court decision already.

 

Sterling will surge today, no doubt about it.

 

Can you give me a forecast in your opinion
What the euro will be on Thursday
I need a few hundred for my cruise.
I know tha no one can tell what it will be.
But just have a go

 

I wouldn't say with any certainty mate, the dollar is taking a battering because of Trump, I'd assume with this court ruling that a hard brexit is becoming less likely so that should put faith back in some investors, with regards to Sterling.

I doubt much will change by Thursday.

Another holiday for Vince.

 

Yeh of for my 65 th 31 Jan
I hope to get maybe 116 with a bit of luck

 

I hate this bastard.




FWIW, I think the leave voters need to relax. Article 50 will still be triggered, in March. Teresa May seems absolutely determined to push it through and I can't see enough MP's voting against it. They'd be serious riots in the country and I think they know this.

 

The minority on the losing side plus a few lawmakers and politicians trying to overturn a democratic decision of the people.
Worldwide objections to Trump winning the presidency.
It's getting a bit hypocritical for us, the USA and the west to preach to the rest of the world that they should embrace our wonderful democratic ways

 

What a ****!
They only have about 20 MP's don't they?

 

That should be achievable. If you get less, just fill a Sprite bottle with some gin That'll re-claw your losses on board.

 

Do you know what mate, I hope they do follow through with that threat, because it won't make an ouce of difference and it'll finish that ridiculous party off once and for all.
