As David Starkey puts this - we are now under the rule of Lawyers

He's correct on the reason behind the ruling but the intent is clear. JRM clarifiying this actually does more damage to those pretending it had no relation to Brexit.

Also do you post anything other than tweets? Stuff of value, like, y'know, personally constructed intellectual debate and opinion from said tweets would be a good start. Otherwise it's just unfiltered, low context propaganda.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

When the law needs to be involved, it gets involved. That's why it's the law. Although I reckon most Brexiteers would rather a dictatorship.

Of course not. Direct action, however how juvenile in nature, can ever be justified whatever the political belief behind it. You won't find me defending it.

Personally I prefer the power of ridicule exposing hypocrisy. So the Trump baby seemed pretty good to me.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

as I told you before, I will NEVER vote again in ANY election....waste of time....if MPs can ignore 17.4 million votes then my vote counts for NOTHING!!!....I am not advocating civil unrest, I just believe it will happen, when Brexit is cancelled as you remainers want it to be....

A GE with parties agreeing to PROMISE to honour what they say they will with regards to Brexit takes a lot of wind out of my sails that is for sure.

And makes that moral high ground you Remainers seem to love standing atop have at least a dollop more solidity to it.

All I have ever asked for is honesty in this process. We were told, prior to June 23rd 2016, that our decision would be acted upon. No ifs or buts or what ifs or nuance. A simple Leave or Remain question with every voted equally counted. An exercise in pure democracy.

And it was done and dusted. A huge turnout, a clear majority for Leave with no serious qualms about how the votes were either cast or counted.

Then a GE in which 80% of the votes were cast for Parties promising to honour that result.

And here we are now. A cluster-f*** but with a single get out of jail card for free offered. A GE on the table.

Would I stop campaigning/sounding off for us to leave the EU? Then no. But at least you have something solid to throw back at my rantings. If there is a Parliment with a majority of MP's elected on the back of manifesto promises to not honour the 2016 result then you actually have an arguement to make for us not leaving or a second referendum. Still leaves a NASTY taste in my mouth and the wider faith in our political system damaged even more than it is but at least you can still make a case that voting matters.

But instead, we are not having a GE as things stand. You are effectively celebrating the will of 17.4 million people being ignored. In some cases, Remainers are even cheering on the death of some of those voters. And more than happy to throw all sorts of insults at them because they had the audacity to make the effort to vote and then expect the promises made to them to be honoured.

There is one last mechanism with a shred of democratic legitimacy left to resolve this. And as of today, it is not happening.

When it does, then I will give you a definite answer. But at the moment, all that matters is that Remainers appear unwilling to accept the result on June 23rd.
