And the determination to thwart democracy in the UK drags on. Brexit should have been a fact by now.

I believe the Scottish justices got it right! As did former PM Cameron, when he said, and I paraphrase, Trump was mendacious and Brexit could only be fully resolved with a second referendum

And I agree, the British people didn't sign up for the BS or Boris's Machevalian mechanisation in his quest to use Brexit as a vehicle to further his obsessive political ambitions!.

Resolved with a second referendum. What rubbish. This is a very plain case of having people vote until they come up with the result the democracy-hating elites want. Britain is stuffed. Another Cromwell is needed.

The question was stay or leave. The majority was for leave! The filthy fascists trying to overturn this are brilliant and backed by all the usual suspects. I hope they do and then we have some riots and eventually a general election with an electorate polarised, hostile and ready to wreak revenge on the elites!
Look at France, months of rioting and now Macron the Mummy’s boy sicking his thugs onto ordinary people.
You need to recognise that for every action there is a reaction and in UK and France there will be a reckoning.

Obviously Binoy is a member of the old boy network, & would want the UK to stay in the EU.

Equally Scotland does very well from the EU, receiving much more than they contribute, unlike the English who fave been held to ransom by the French ladys boy, & the German dragon.

The poms are lucky they have found a man, not only wanting to apply Brexit, but willing to force the issue.

Go Boris!

Can anyone explain why Boris Johnson doesn't don a clown suit and make-up when he appears in public? I'm sure he must have one in his closet which he puts on every now and then in order to delight his friends and relatives.

Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Scott Morrison, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un. This era really will go down in history as the age of oddballs!

Those who voted in the barest winning margin to leave 51%, hardly a landslide majority! Didn't sign up for the rubbish and the BS shovelled by the shipload that followed!

Moreover, the leave agreement not universal and not replicated in the north, i.e., Scotland! Those who do not want a second referendum know full well that this would likely result in an even larger vote, with a vastly larger and more reprehensive cohort included! Which, as a larger more representative would likely arrive at a consensus to stay?

Those who are so certain they know the mind and the will of UK citizens should put their money where their loud shouting mouths are now! And allow a second an far more representative referendum!

After all, this is the home of democracy not some offshoot of Nazi imperialism and autocratic dictators (elected) deciding after having lied to convince the morons who wanted/want t leave, that this would result in some advantage!?

Have yet to release any credible evidence to support their case!

The UK got a divorce from the British commonwealth when it decided in favour of a larger union with Europe! And now a small cohort wants reconciliation with former colonial conquests? And without giving the affected voters a proper and fully informed say!

If those who want t leave are to reiterate, so convinced this is and remains the will of the majority, then they cannot have any objection to having that tested in a democratic outcome in a second referendum!

If you really want to get technical about the law on this, there is one thing the author seems to overlook.
The constitutional framework of the UK is that the head of state is the Queen, and to make laws and appoint her ministers she gets a democratically elected parliament to do such.
However it is the monarch who technically is the top dog, both in theory and practice. Her representatives have occasionally removed governments in Australia (twice) and denied governments the wish to call an election (Canada).
If she should so decide to prorogue Parliament, even on false advice, then the act is done and no court has the right to review the decisions of the monarch.
