Brexit means Brexit?

[Jacqui Harvey]

Villain, Do you assume the story in The Sun (which was carried by other papers) is not true?  Does this Foreign guy really not live in the U.K with his eight children and a big house and lots of benefits?   Did he really not give up his job in Paris to come to the U.K under the right to travel rule??

What? The Sun telling lies? Surely it wouldn't do that? Has it done that before?

[JohnF]

Has it done that before?

No, never - although it has a bit of a history with factual inexactitudes...

You mean Freddie Starr didn't eat the hamster?

Maybe, a la Clinton, he chewed but didn't swallow.

As said it was not just the Sun that printed this story. The Daily Mirror printed it too (A good Labour Newsapepr)  However, if anyone still does not believe this and can prove this story is not true, please give the evidence here.  I will be interested to read it, or are all the say in Europe people burying their heads in the sand.

Story in the Mirro.

Following the Court ruling this morning, it would now be unlawful for the government to invoke Article 50 without an Act of Parliament. The Government are appealing to the Supreme Court and the case will be heard on December 7th.

If the government lose the appeal, they can then submit a further appeal to the..ahem, European Court of Justice.

I keep on saying it - Brexit is really very interesting. And I just can't see it happening in a hurry. Expect a whole load more twists and turns.

Jacqui and madmart. Please read my earlier post again, because I really don't think either of you did. There, I'll leave it at that.

Please just answer the perfectly simple question I posed the other day.

Were you in favour of a referendum before June 23rd? YES/NO

I've even made it easy for you by supplying the choice of answers!

[villain]

You know what, I can't even remember. It's fair to say I was unhappy that the vote went the wrong way. I would have thought that was obvious.

How do you feel about the Court ruling today?

[madmart]

Parliament should have a vote about when to enact Article 50 but not about whether it should be enacted, that is what the referendum decided by a majority albeit a small majority. Had it been 48 to 52 I would have accepted it.

 This is the concept the Remain camp seem unable to accept.

Nowhere in the rules before did it say it had to 60-40 or 75-25.

An election looms and the landslide May will get will render this meaningless anyway.
