    Not necessarily. I'm sure you're aware of various ways that he could avoid it, partially or completely.

    The man's a fraud.
    He attempts to portray himself as the voice of the man in the street.
    He fails to mention that the street in question is in Florida.

    This from The Constitutional Law Society has a slightly different view. But it will be interesting to see what The Supreme Court decides.

    For me, this is one of the salient parts..

    Secondly, if this were not sufficient, the Article 50 declaration will strip British citizens of their rights in relation to the European Parliament. The European Parliamentary Elections Act 2002 confers a right to vote and to stand in European elections. The Government cannot unilaterally do an act which will render the 2002 Act nugatory and strip away the rights that it confers.

    More examples could be given, but the general point is plain. Our membership of the European Union has conferred a host of legal rights on British citizens, some through incorporating statutes, some granted directly in domestic law. Applying the common law principle found in The Case of Proclamations and Fire Brigades Union, the Government cannot remove or nullify these rights without parliamentary approval. Its prerogative power cannot be used to overturn statutory rights. Statute beats prerogative.

    This has significance not only in terms of our domestic law, but also for EU law. Article 50 specifies that a decision to leave the European Union must be made in conformity to a Member State’s constitutional requirements. If the Prime Minister sought to issue an Article 50 without parliamentary approval, it would not satisfy this test; it would not be effective in European Law.

    If your claim your comment about was not racist on it's own how can it be less racist when you look at other posts. Not logical

    You want to see how boring these people are from this side. Look at the reply above yours for how desperate these people are to make an argument to cover their mates **** up. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think I'm safe to answer this one for him.

    His cultural diversity and heritage isn't damaging mate, as he's a honky <ok>

    We don't know that, Tobes. Would he pass the Mail and Express test?

    Fair point. That could be the twist, he may not be honky enough for the Mail.

    I'm intrigued to know which culture has provided him with the bollocks rational that he honestly thinks is completely reasonable.

    I was thinking more Eastern European, but you might be right.

    Can't be arsed to read everything I've missed today. Has anything happened that wasn't a Mail/Express link from Pete about a Syrian simultaneously enrolling themselves into the local primary school and registering for a pension or three pages of people pointing out where they disagree with Hull with him replying that he's already replied to their point?

    If you include some curt replies to that zlantan fella (who even by the standards of this forum, is really unhinged), that about sums up today.

    He almost certainly spends his days ringing a bell announcing the end is nigh or trying to stop white people buying condoms.
