The Brexit Thread

Another interesting development (using a legal power I’m sure not many people have heard of).

Anti-Brexit campaigners have filed a legal challenge in the Scottish courts in an effort to compel Boris Johnson to seek an extension to article 50.

The litigation was lodged at the court of session in Edinburgh on Thursday afternoon and is being funded by Dale Vince, the millionaire businessman and political donor who founded the renewable electricity company Ecotricity.

The campaigners have applied directly to the inner house of the court of session, the court’s senior tier, as it has a power unique amongst British courts to provide a legal remedy if one is not available elsewhere, a power known as nobile officium.

They hope the nobile officium power could mean the court will send the article 50 extension letter on Johnson’s behalf, if he refused to do so.

“The inner house of the court of session has a special and versatile jurisdiction – its nobile officium – which it can use to, in effect, per procurationem or ‘pp’ any letter that the prime minister refuses to send,” he said. “The rule of law is not a thing to be grifted – not even by the prime minister.”

literally two people's voices, none of which are even on camera

"the crowd" is mostly filming and greeting BoJo whilst standing around in that clip, typical bremoaner lies: the vast majority of people are not anti-BoJo in this video, but hey one or two drunkards bust out their soccer hooligan jeers and suddenly "the crowd" was singing ...

laughably pathetic assertion

Ha Ha, the "crowd" is nothing more than modern Gost-Press going on.

Poor old Boj, he thought he’d be universally welcomed in the north and has been told to get out of one town, told he has a cheek to go to another and now has the crowd singing “Liar liar” to him in a third.

no if you ordered fish in a fish restaurant and they offer you something else that you definitely do not want ... you LEAVE

which is the exact brexit analogy, the fish restaurant is the EU, the fish was expected from 1970-ish, 40 years later the disgruntled patron finally grew a pair and is leaving (hopefully)

What was the fish restaurant offering in 1970'ish that wasn't provided in some form or another over the next 40 years?

Interesting, I didn't realise that the fish restaurant was selling sovereignty when you joined...

The EEC, which is what the UK foolishly joined after a referendum that didn't warn them at all about potential long term negative consequences, most definitely pretended to be a pro-sovereignty set up.

It sure as hell did not put EUSSR on the menu, which instead is what the EU restaurant is serving up these days.
