    Number 10 source says Boris Johnson's team repeatedly asked to move the press conference inside "due to the number of people who would boo and chant" over it, but Luxembourg refused. “The whole series of events is extraordinary and reflects far more on them than it does us.”

    Just watching the legal arguments being set out in detail at the Supreme Court.

    In other news, the primer is nearly dry and its almost ready for the first coat of gloss.

    No, it's just fantasy. I think you're caught in a landslide with no escape from reality.

    On a serious note about the 'Parliament Suspension Hearing' and the Supreme Court, its interesting how so many (let's face it) largely Remainers felt it necessary to take to the streets to protest about how undemocratic and illegal it was, crying coup and comparing the government to a dictatorship, yet we've had one legal body in the form of the Scottish judges declare the prorogation unlawful, the High Court to declare it lawful and (I believe) 3 days of the Supreme Court wading through an inexorable about of documentary protocols and legalese in order to determine one way or the other.

    Yes, the protesters may be proved right, or they may be proved incorrect. But, who really the **** knows?

    One of the most wonderful things about our constitution is that so little is actually written down like a procedural document. Instead, much has just become de rigeur through years of custom & practice, so really a lot is open to interpretation and cannot really be adjudged to be unlawful until after the action is taken and then tested by a court or some other arbitrator after the event. The government's action may well have been cynical or (perhaps) immoral, but it might not turn out to have been unlawful.

    Great fun.

    Now back to the paint drying.

    I'm not sure the high court did declare it lawful or unlawful more like something to with it being political rather than judicial

    I think this one will break all records by actually failing before it even begins, the last european empire announced by Germany lasted about 13 years I believe, still never mind it’ll give the historians something to write about, they could even call the book Guy Verhoftwat’s folly.

    I’ve driven through it several times, day time and nighttime, It always gave me the impression of being shut or asleep or both, probably explains why Jean Claude Druncker is a veritable pisshead.
