Brexit Betrayal

@asaratis

SCOTUS doesn’t get into their opinions on motives either. Even the House and Senate rules have taboos against questioning another member’s motives. They try to confine themselves to debating the issues and the legality of same.

Your opinion of someone motives does not affect the law. Regardless of Johnson’s motives, he broke no law.

Perhaps his motive here was that it is common practice to prorogue the parliament in September. Who knows? Only the Shadow knows!

I suspect that a few of us do know? It was the only way he could circumvent a contrived all-party rebellion in the House thereby delaying the exit even more (and making the rest of us lose the will to live? lol.) I mean do we really need another 4 years of this breath-taking cross-Channel imbroglio?

Our judicial system has really become a big joke. First Tommy Robinson, now Boris and probably plenty more in between that we don’t know about. They should just make one law - no anti Establishment - and be done with it. Aka tyranny.

And one we do know about - Julian Assange. The most disgusting travesty of so-called justice I’ve ever known.

Go Boris!

Brexit LIVE: Boris Johnson's plan to force through no deal revealed by...

Boris challenged the opposition to call a vote of no confidence in him (which will lead to a general election) and if they fail to do so, he will take that as he has their support and will carry on to deliver Brexit.

Edit: from the above article:

8.04am update: Rees-Mogg promises to announce ‘very exciting’ news

Speaking in the Commons last night, Jacob Rees-Mogg has promised MPs he will announce some “very exciting” news.

In response to a question from Labour MP Clive Betts, who asked what the order of business will be if Parliament does not go into recess for the Tory conference next week, Mr Rees-Mogg said: “Mr Speaker unfortunately I have to keep the honourable gentlemen in suspense.

“But I can reassure him that there will be an exciting announcement tomorrow in a statement from me and all will be revealed in what may happen under certain circumstances or under different circumstances.”

Wow, I haven’t been so excited in years. And Boris’s performance at the Despatch Box last night was nothing less than masterful. This little snippet has lifted my spirits after having been depressed. for so long. What I’d realy like now would be to see the arch-traitors Hammond, Grieve, Soubry, man-spreader Rory Stewart, and Clarke slinking away from SW10AA having been deselected, and rejected by their constituents. So onward and upward? But we shouldn’t forget Nigel Farage, because without him we’d be in the EU for ever and a day. Thanks very much, Nige, and hope to see you on the Conservative front bench one day.

This is FCUKING BRILLIANT!!!

Furious Cox savages Remainers: This is a dead parliament, DEAD PARLIAMENT TURKEYS, TOTAL DISGRACE

[cerberus]

Thanks, and although he’s a playing-to-the-gallery poser, he’s saying more or less what Boris said subsequently. I think that the penny has dropped for the Remainer traitors, and they now know the game’s up for them, and that Boris has a lot of public support, and as I said, yesterday at the DB he was masterful - and I take back everything I’ve said about him being a buffoon: he might act the fool, but he sure isn’t one?

• That is a statement. Why the question mark?
• I suspect that some of you think you know. Yours is nothing but an opinion.

Nice acknowledgement. I suspect that to be what the Supreme Court observed as well, a prime minister circumventing parliament…

[asaratis]

Interesting point. What is puzzling to me is that long blade knives are illegal to carry concealed without a weapons permit (as they are considered weapons) yet you will find easily accessible displays of hundreds of such knives in the kitchen utensil aisle of any large supermarket.

What is to keep a person from taking a butcher knife or meat clever off the display rack and killing someone right there in the store…without evening having to buy the weapon?

The same applies the things such as box cutters, hammers, pitch forks, bats, etc., except that these are generally not illegal to carry.

Nothing, apart from the fact that you need some heavy duty scissors to cut through the thick plastic the knife is wrapped in. And the heavy duty scissors are wrapped in the same thick plastic.

[asaratis]

I often carry a folding box cutter. Getting into a package is no problem. I’ve also seen displays where the knives are packaged in a thick plastic shell glued to thin cardboard backing. Simply bending the package near the tip or handle of the knife allows access to the knife.

It isn’t a statement, it’s a submission for consideration. I’m a published writer so kindly don’t pick me up on grammar. Thank you.

Wrong - he’s a prime minister endeavouring to carry out the will of the people up against a powerful Establishment which is hell-bent on stopping him.

I wonder how many others of us often carry a folding box cutter? I’ll ponder that for the rest of the day!

You’re the one that stated he had circumvented the house…

“I suspect that a few of us do know?” is a statement for consideration?

No, it’s not. How can others be expected to have any idea what YOU suspect?

@cerberus

Anyone that ever wrote on a public bathroom wall is a published writer.

I didn’t question your grammar. I questioned your punctuation. I suspect you know the difference.

[asaratis]

It doesn’t matter. The point was that the packaging on a butcher knife is not a problem. A criminal might first steal a box cutter, then go for the knife.

[Magog]

This is what Boris is playing at

. In paragraph 55 of the judgment against prorogation, it says that it is to be “remember[ed] always that the actual task of governing is for the executive and not for Parliament or the courts.” the ‘Surrender Act’ contradicts this principle as it dictates precisely how the Government must conduct negotiations with a foreign body

[cerberus]

No, it’s the fact that you weren’t smart enough to recognize the nuance of my comment. And now to conceal the error, and I admit that nuances can be difficult to spot in a short text, you’re being pedantic. And I didn’t buy my first BMW by writing something a on bathroom wall.
