Any comments on Lord Protector Johnson?
Got the Queen to approve.
A perfectly constitutional act that thwarts the opposition? Sign me up.
Now the churls have to put their money where their mouth is. VONC or walk, let no man be not counted.
Edit: I would add that this has been the longest parliamentary session is an age. The only reason why the fractured opposition is in an uproar is because they can’t currently win a general. Come on, Labour, pull the trigger!

Also, after the last 6 months of Letwinism, and rule by speaker, I’m happy to return the favour using the autumn recess.
Edit: Parliament ruling out no-deal and voting against what the EU has said is the only deal, leaves only what they secretly want anyway. Time to ignore the drag the schemers using the legislation they over 2 years ago.
If they are sad we are using their own errant judgement to do something they didn’t actually want to do, alas, I shall shed a tear for them.
Edit 2: As my old law lecturer said ‘enacted in haste, repealed at leisure.’ Time for some parliamentarians to learn that lesson.
Beware of people who invoke the will of the people - or “general will” incorrectly attributed to Rosseau…

No question, but I’m similarly sceptical of politicians who ignore referenda. Indeed, the lib dem leader said there is no vote to leave that she’d respect.
Some people can’t merely be instructed, they must be dragged.

What’s amazing in this information age how very few things age well, even in the span of a few months. Lindy in action.
I have to say this is all pretty riveting stuff for someone watching from the sidelines. My only regret is that there’s no modern day Prince Albert to incompetently meddle in day-to-day politics to add more fuel to the fire.

Indeed lmao.
Alas, Philip has retired from public life, or I’m sure he’d give it the old college try.

Top drawer. Luckily the remainers will have a shot at a general soon. I’m sure rejoin will be such an election winner after all this!
There was a yes/no vote in 2016 which was legally bound to be enacted upon by March 2019.
It wasn’t, owing to the vested interests of many of those in power within both the UK and EU.
There has been nothing but relentless scare mongering by said vested interests since 2016, leading to the typical UK citizen now being utterly delirious about planes falling from the sky and the return of the plague in the event of a “No Deal.”
Britain will hopefully leave by October 31st, regardless of the consequences. There was a vote and a decision made. All other conversation is irrelevant.
Johnson is only behaving like this as the writing is on the wall for the Tories. If Brexit doesn’t go through this October, they are finished for good.
It is a shame they won’t be finished for good, as then perhaps a substantive Conservatism could rise in the UK. Johnson is a Liberal in all but name and the Tories died decades ago. You’d be hard pressed to come up with one element of society the “Conservatives” have attempted to conserve in the last 75 years.
The main reason the average person voted for Brexit is the belief it would stop mass immigration. It is that simple. Poll after poll has shown this. This isn’t going to happen, illustrated via all Johnson and Javid’s comments regarding skilled migration, general migration and refugees.
The deranged pro EU camp in the UK truly are beyond the pale. They take the standard Left approach of screaming abuse at every opportunity about “racism” and “fascism” and “Nazis” and all the rest of it. As a result, you will find literally almost no one who will speak in favour of it in a typical public arena. The standard approach of abuse to shut all debate. And these people call themselves liberals lol. However, the polls never change, and show the nation’s true feelings.
These same demented pro EU lunatics also incessantly rant (rant really is the correct description) in favour of a body which is a political and economic disaster, that has been on the point of collapse almost since inception, and which could imminently bring ruination to large swathes of the content, due to illogical ideals and failed economic policies.
Hopefully the UK will avoid the worst of it through leaving soon.
Hot take: that lady hates the will of a free people

I like to think of myself as an accommodating chap, open to compromise, but I’m getting close to thinking ‘I want to drag you out over concrete’ right now.
If they want a fight to the finish, I shall oblige.
Only if they are dead.

That’s the best no-deal article I’ve read yet. Probably because it’s the first one I’ve read that wasn’t heavily pushing a certain agenda.
