    They decided that the reason for prorogation was to stymie parliament. Johnson said that it was not. Of course he lied, he can't help himself. It's a chronic affliction.

    He's more credible than hid LBC colleague Nigel Farage.

    So the Scottish Courts did not say that. Nor did Joanna Cherry QC. This is simply your interpretation

    What O'Brien does is find someone intellectually challenged, and do his best to make them look an idiot on national radio. It's not difficult. That's part of his fun, like Jeremy Kyle. LBC like him, in the same way that ITV liked Kyle, it brings in the audiences that like that kind of mocking drama. O'Brien was a gossip columnist and was given a show by ITV. It was broadcast from 30 March to 10 April 2015 (!!) and ended because it got terrible critical reviews

    O'Brien was sacked from BBC Newsnight for being too extreme. No serious politician appears on O'Brien's radio shows, left, right or centre. That's why he's forced to resort to humiliating stupid members of the public.

    I have no idea whether any judge is politically motivated or acts at anytime out of self interest. I believe that all judges should, however, declare their interests in the same way one would expect an MP so as to ensure such accusations are minimalised.

    As I said sod the business the UK has zero control over the globals we are their bitch as all countries know. Standing alone after Brexit we will be even weaker for the generations I care about ... my boys.

    At least a united Europe has rules to stop them... plus what’s to say the UK’s business banks will be based in the UK? Once this settles mate you will see a change to the city I agree but it’s not British and the city will not be the same I guarantee that

    Sadly, yes, like Jeremy Kyle. But they exist on both sides of the Leave and Remain argument. I think O'Brien's assistant must single the worst out to be the victim

    The important thing is every Leaver voted for the same thing even if Albert, 83, from Barnsley rings in to complain that the EU isn’t collecting his bin once a week any more.

    Just to give you reassurance that it isn't only Brexit causing mayhem...

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49686818

    The French capital is seeing huge jams and massive crowds on the few metro lines running as transport workers strike against planned pension reform.

    I made it across Paris, to work, and back home, but a lot of people just didn't bother, and stayed home.

    This will not be reported by the BBC or Sky, who would give Europe a totally clean bill of health, even if Napolean was marching north to conquer Russia!
