    Actually, further to my earlier post, I would have every member of the royal family, who benefits from the Civil List funding, or Sovereign Grant which I believe it is now called, attend a meeting at their local job centre, in order to convince some heartless scrote that they are entitled to claim their benefits.
    Anyone who doesn’t fully answer the questions or doesn’t, attend would be sanctioned and not receive funding for a set period.
    Has Prince Philip applied for settled status yet, or can we send him back to Greece?

    Petition now > 600k.

    Please keep sharing on any social media you take part in. This goes beyond party politics and even beyond your views on Brexit. This is about the sovereignty of Parliament, which was what we were promised we would be getting back, not that we ever lost it.

    Did I want this mess.....no.......I find it hard to believe any of you are surprised by the clowns actions. To be honest it was obvious from the start he would have to pull something like that. Parliament couldn’t agree also Corbyn was conspiring to bring the government down. Did you really think he wasn’t going to react?

    Just to let you know that I would not have you arrested. Should have typed "Evasion."

    Staggered by the political news today. Johnson reminds me so much of Mussolini.

    Thanks for posting the link to the petition. I have signed this ( and another petition) as well as sending an e-mail to my MP.

    I would urge all people opposed to Boris Johnson to register their disapproval this evening.

    The People United will never be defeated!!

    Although I would prefer to be a Republic, in fairness to her I don't think the Queen has any choice in this .

    I totally agree that Johnson's lack of respect for Parliament is probably the greatest threat to the sovereignty of this institution since the time of Charles I. I would like to think that all sensible people understand that this is the slippery slope to dictatorship and I would urge everyone to act against this dictator.

    The people against him will react more vociferously. Even right-minded Conservatives will have reservations. This is now no longer about party politics but whether we are to live within a democracy or a dictatorship. Mosley and his ilk were defeated by right minded people in the 1930s and I feel it is now the time to react similarly in 2019.

    The difference being that Mosley was not in the Conservative Party at the time, although he had his sympathisers in the form of the Mail and Express. The "coup" that has taken place is lethal. These guys have infiltrated the Conservative Party, seized control at both a local, regional and national level. They will ensure that civil servants toe the line, dissenters will be made redundant on the basis of incompetence, or if approaching retirement, given early retirement.

    Johnson et al, will put their supporters into powerful positions in the BBC. And no doubt the education curriculum will be amended to suit their interests. Then of course numbers of MPs will be reduced to suit the AfUK party as it should be called as UK Conservatism has all but died.

    The "dictatorship" has begun.

    If Johnson actually pulls a deal out of the bag......how are you going to react then........as slim as it may seem there is always a chance?

    Please don't set lite to anything, there's enough burning elsewhere.

    Riot jokes aside, this is actually awful.

    Even if I were a leave voter, I’d be outraged. It’s an absolute scandal. Closing parliament just to get your own way?

    Spits in the face of democracy. How people can complain about the EU being undemocratic, whilst supporting this coup actually blows my mind

    The only people who count are overwhelmingly in favor of leaving. It's only left-wing traitors, powerful conspirators and Godless minorities who are opposed, and why should people like that get to vote?

    It is a democracy, you're just not part of it. You're the enemy trying to overthrow their democracy.
