Westministenders: Boris Johnson Broke The Law

[RedToothBrush]

ITS OFFICIAL
The Highest Court in the Land has ruled that Boris Johnson has broken the law.

Parliament is Sovereign.

Despite the calls for his resignation it is highly unlikely he will under the current political climate.

It must be stressed that the judgement was UNAMINOUS and went further than most expected, and took the hardest possible line again the government

The power now lies with the Speakers of the Lords and Commons to decide when Parliament reopens.

It also means that all the bills which were ended by proroguation are now back in play.

Expect a full backlash from the hard right attacking the courts are going full on 'enemies of the people'. This will be NASTY

The strength of this ruling does pretty much rule out another proroguation as the courts are liable to throw it out immediately if they try it on again.

Johnson is in New York. He needs to get on a plane very quickly.

PMK = Place MarKing

This what is called a coup.

The Supreme could could not even confirm what law was broken.

Destroy the entire political system and traditions of the UK in order to become a province of the EU? No wonder they emphasised that the rulings had nothings to do with the timing nor the terms of leaving the EU. Not leaving renders timing and terms irrelevant.

One has to congratulate EU for their empire building ambition...

Suits me fine if Farage and Cummings want to get into an internecine battle while we fix the mess they've made.

Of course Boris' out might be to fire Cummings. I guess it all depends on what exactly Cummings has on Boris ?

Just nipping in to say Thank fuck for the Supreme Court!!

Happy Birthday, OublietteBravo 💐
The Supremes already gave you a gorgeous cake, but here's some more: 🎂

The Supreme could could not even confirm what law was broken

That’s because the ruling was prorogation unlawful not illegal.

They are already talking about bringing Corbyn's speech forward.

How long till Kussenberg starts blaming Corbyn for parliament not sitting?

Hey you don't think Johnson won't be gone son and he'll get JRM to take the hit?

JRM will never go anywhere near a position that involves scrutiny.

Dear Nigel's response is interesting- I had wondered if Dominic Cummings would be the fall guy - but then Bozo would not know what to do without that evil twat pointing him in the direction he wants him to go.....

I think this judgement is vital for democracy whatever your view on Brexit. This wasn’t a Brexit judgement it was a Constitutional judgement that arose in the context of Brexit but could have arisen in any situation where Parliament was prorogued excessively.

Fantastic news. Over the moon.

Rupert Myers @RupertMyers
Boris Johnson & Jacob Rees-Mogg have broken the Privy Council oath - misconduct in a public office?

@DGRossetti - on the back of the bus, you could appropriately just put the "Quite the reverse".

That phrase will then evoke that whole passage.
Will Boris stay in New York? Quite the reverse
Is Cummings' brilliant strategy winning? Quite the reverse
...

LMFAO, I give you a quote from Poltergeist the Movie 'THEY'RE HERE'

He needs to resign asap.

Wow. PMK.

We are only allowed to have UK democracy and sovereignty when it goes the way the leavers want.

I see the Leaver upthread blaming the EU for the decision of the Uk Supreme Court

Leavers claim they wanted to Brexit so that the British Parliament and British courts would be supreme

• evidently Leavers weren't serious about this

This is the opposite of a coup. This is the highest court in the land saying that the Executive cannot suspend Parliament.

Oops, I posted on the old thread by mistake.

I suggest we block Johnson's return to the UK. Other criminals have their citizenship revoked and/or are banned from entering the country. So let him stay where he is, in the country of his birth.

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude exactly

@JustAnotherPoster00 yes - it's amazing how they all pop up when things don't go "their" way.

Just for the record - I don't think you can have a functioning democracy when the PM flouts the law and constitution.
