Yep it’s depressing but under the new fixed term rule the next general election will be 2022 unless they lose a confidence vote - I think Labour can call for one anytime and after they read the polls today they might just do that. So we, potentially, got another 2.5 years of this fuckfest.
Got any article links?
No … the police numbers are being run-down so that it will be impossible to use them to quell civil unrest. Then we will have to see if the Army will shoot their own people!
Of course, if it is the French Army…
Nooo … she will be skiing it. It will be called the Political Downhill.

I’ve seen this in a few places - apparently we have already left - we left on 29th Mar

This is what the link was about, the legal challenge by Robin Tillbrook, I don’t think the link worked for some.
ENGLISH DEMOCRATS – CLAIM FOR A DECLARATION THAT THE UNITED KINGDOM LEFT THE EUROPEAN UNION ON 29TH MARCH 2019
PRESS RELEASE
On 2nd April the English Democrats, the English nationalist political party, issued a judicial review claiming the Prime Minister could not lawfully agree to an extension to the period before the United Kingdom could leave the European Union under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Court is asked to declare that, because she had no such power, the UK automatically left the EU on 29th March – the original ‘exit day’, two years after notification was made.
This challenge was to the extension offered by the EU on 27.3.2019 and accepted by the PM on 28th March not to the additional extension the PM claimed to agree to today (11th April).
Attached are submissions filed in support of the challenge. The Government is expected to reply by 17th April.
The English Democrats’ case is that the PM has no statutory power to agree to an extension. The change to ‘exit day’, in a statutory instrument under the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018, can only be made if the Article 50 period has already been extended under international law. If the PM had no power to extend, Parliament could not lawfully make the statutory instrument.
The English Democrats rely on the Supreme Court decision in Miller v Secretary of State, which found that the government cannot change how and whether EU law applies to the UK by the Royal Prerogative. The PM could only notify under Article 50 under the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017. The inevitable result was that the UK would leave the EU after two years, when EU law would cease to apply to the UK. Any extension would change the law by making EU law apply beyond that date, which the Act did not give the PM the power to do.
In addition, the English Democrats’ case (also relying on Miller ) is that an agreement to extend the Article 50 period would frustrate the purpose of the 2017 and 2018 Acts; particularly as there is no restriction on the length of any potential extension and the number of extensions that may be requested – as the latest extension has shown.
The ‘Cooper-Letwin’ Act giving Parliament power over extension requests has no effect, as no further extension could be given if the UK had already left the EU by the time it came into law.
The English Democrats rely on the Wightman decision of the European Court of Justice in support of our contention that, under EU law, the PM can only agree to an extension ‘on behalf of the UK’ if she has the constitutional authority to do so. Therefore, the UK left the EU on 29th March under EU as well as UK law.
Former Court of Appeal judge, Sir Richard Aikens, has said the English Democrats’ argument is at least ‘highly arguable’, see Former appeal judge says legality of Brexit extension SHOULD be tested in court | Daily Mail Online.
Solicitor Robin Tilbrook, who is the Chairman of the English Democrats, said that:
“The good news for all those who voted Leave is that we could already be Out of the EU without being saddled with Theresa May’s appallingly bad deal! The challenge to Leave supporters is that this case is our best and maybe our only chance of actually getting out of the EU. This means that we must win it at all costs! I therefore appeal to all Leave supporters to put all differences aside and to unite in supporting this case”

This man doesn’t half talk some bollocks.
The Prime Minister’s subservience to the Queen is only for ceremonial purposes.
If she tried rocking the boat she would soon be following her uncle.
… I wonder what the French would do with her.
EU…The proverbial deal with the devil
Yes, all monarchical powers of note are effectively exercised by the PM. Any attempt by the monarchy to interfere with the will of parliament would be an instant constitutional crisis that would also quickly be dealt with.
It’d have to be something the populace would back the monarchy on for it to be anything other than a speedbump.
It does feel like some in the Brexit camp are getting a bit desperate.
Or not - I’m beginning to change my mind abt leaving - Maybe Perfidious Albion should stay.
Unfortunately Farage is about as much use as a fart in a gale.
And Treasonous May isn’t??
Why? Because of him we got the referendum. He has been a thorn in the side of the EU for over 25 years and now we may get 73 like him in the European Parliament. He should have been in the House of Lords for his achievements.

Treason May is a puppet … I thought you knew that
The issue I have with Farage, is starting a new party. It’s one thing to leave UKIP but now to start another party makes me think he’s fake. If you really wanted to be out the EU you would swallow your pride and do what it takes to get the job done. Instead his actions will cause a further split in votes on the right. Which will definitely see the usual nonsense with labour and conservative changing who is in power every now again and nothing politically will change and as he is an intelligent man you have to assume he knows that. Therefore, one has to ask if he is willfully splitting the vote what are his motives ?

Personal gain.
It’s not complicated, he’s done very well out of all of this. Gotta keep the gravy train rolling for as long as possible.
I am more aligned with Gerard Batten and UKIP. However, I understand that Nigel felt he had no other choice but to start afresh as he did not want links to Tommy Robinson and the Muslim issue. He needed to distance himself in order to attract Tory Brexiteers. I don’t like Nigel’s criticism of UKIP’s view on Muslims. But first things first. Nigel has a lot of backing and I will give my vote to help the more popular party. We have to get Brexit done and dusted before dealing with the Muslim problem.

Yes or more sinister in being controlled opposition.
I think the Tory Brexiteers talked a good game for a while but then ultimately for me, they showed us they were just full of piss and wind. Even Mogg. The Brexit party is going to be like the old sixth form common room for what is deemed as the hardliners, when in fact they are weaker than nats piss. A construct to diminish the effect of UKIP and keep the 2 party system alive. I’ve just replied above to Mole by saying I’m even starting to think he (Nigel) is controlled opposition. He didn’t need to attack the current UKIP tack. By drawing so much attention to the Tommy Robinson links and saying it’s gone far right he knew how damaging that would be. He knew people on the fringe of politics would listen to that rhetoric and when the time was right he knew his personality could split the vote.
