Parliament passed a bill that requires Boris to ask for extension, but it doesnāt explicitly require him to extend beyond October 31st - so heās just using a legal loophole in the bill to leave without a deal while still retroactively obeying the law.
And what good would that do???
Unfortunately that is not true, but there are other flaws in the act. Remember, one of Borisā ways is to create chaos and confusion. I suspect those Scottish court papers are to do exactly that. He has the veneer of being an incompetent, bumbling idiot, but underneath he is the sharpest knife in the drawer.
āIf MPs havenāt approved a deal in a meaningful vote, or approved leaving the EU without a deal by 19 October, then the prime minister must send a letter (specifically worded in the Act) to the president of the European Council which seeks an extension to Article 50 until 31 January 2020. If the EU agrees to the date, then the prime minister should also agree.ā

I am drawn to the words āshould also agree.ā It doesnāt say āmust.ā Hmm.
I sincerely hope Iām right when I say that Boris will run rings around them. I mean heās already circumvented the Surrender Bill by agreeing to write the āletterā (who the fuck writes letters these days? 
lol), and then writing another one the next day to withdraw what he said. Result - no law broken, although donāt ask me to comment on the misuse of the Legislature to draw up and implement a law which applies to only one individual.

I rest my case, māLud. There was probably a Youtube vid that only had the song, so you neednāt have sat thru the 55 minutes?

Youāre showing entirely too much interest it the implied subject of her quest for knowledge.

Hmm, you have a point - maybe Iām subconsciously struggling to come out of the closet? 
Boris could also be looking at another tactic to default to leaving with the no deal option on 31st

And it only takes one?
Yes, just one, but I wouldnāt bank on that, no matter how well meaning. The EU has ways to make member states toe the line.
Something for the near future.
Too much information.
Fair point . . . especially if the recalcitrant member country is a net beneficiary of ECB funding, as Iād guess Hungary is.
Donāt worry, Iām as alpha-male as itās possible to be. 
My Extreme masculinity intimidates people
Some people like to hear what Paul McCartney has to say. Fortunately, there are billions of people that donāt think the same as you.

Alright then, waste hours of your life watching vids if you want to - I donāt care. Iād question whether ābillions of peopleā would GAF what a has-been pop singer would opine though - but hey, āIt takes all sortsā, as they say?
To the EU: do not grant the extension or elseā¦
Boris will veto the EUās 7 year budget and send Nigel as EU commissioner. 
What a dream team that would be - Boris and Nige? Brex-it, Brex-it, ra-ra-ra! Gawd Iād just LOVE to see all the Commons traitors slink away after being rejected by their constituents. Then theyād have to work for a living, rather than be parasitic on us?
Maybe Facebook will hire them? After all they already have Nick Clegg. Lol, we send our vermin over to the Yanks! I may be waaay premature but there could even be a sniff of the BBC becoming less biased? QT finally had balance of Brexiteers and Remoaners.
You mean that for all the years the BBC has been telling anyone whoāll believe it that āthe QT audience is randomly selected from all walks of lifeā hasnāt been true? Well whaddya know??!!
