“One of my English friends is probably right when he says with melancholy that Brexit is the real end of the British Empire.” Oh really! – or maybe the European Empire? We lost ours decades ago.
“I mean this is Magna Carta, it’s the Burgesses coming at Parliament, it’s the great Reform Bill, it’s the bill of rights, it’s so many… It’s Waterloo, it’s Agincourt, it’s Crecy, We win all these things.”
Why don’t we stop grovelling to the E.U. and just walk away? If we don’t like what happens a few years down the line we can always rejoin under article 49. They would most likely welcome us back with open arms. And maybe by that time they would have mended their ways and made it more democratic.
The result of a national referendum should be legally binding and irrevocable otherwise the process becomes a mockery. The exceptions to this would be if the situation were significantly changed or if the public were misinformed which could be determined in a court of law.
ARTICLE 50:
“If negotiations do not result in a ratified agreement, the seceding country leaves without an agreement, …”
“If we want order, we have to create it – through engagement, multilateralism, by accommodating what we can of the demands of rising powers and through the promotion of resilient democratic institutions.”
” … she’s liable to be remembered for little more than poor dancing, ill-timed coughing fits, a tearful farewell and being awkward with light banter.” – and a total disregard for democracy.
The Prime Minister said “The MPs’ bill would “hand control” of Brexit negotiations to the EU and bring “more dither, more delay, more confusion … The people of this country will have to choose.”
Opposition MP’s and Tory rebels blocked Johnson’s plans for an early election by voting against or abstaining. Although there was overwhelming support among those who voted it wasn’t enough to reach the two thirds of all MP’s necessary to trigger an election.
DARK DAY – Parliament in contempt of the people?
“These are the people who over the past 40 years have green-lighted the outsourcing of huge swathes of parliament’s authority to Brussels, and whose very efforts to destroy Brexit run counter to parliament’s own handing of that decision to us, the people, and its insistence that it would respect the decision that we made.”
For heaven’s sake he’s not long into his term of office. Give the guy a chance; Did you take your ‘A’ levels in your first week at college?
At a time like this we should be supporting our Prime Minister who has had the courage to stand up to the bully boys (and girls!) of the E.U.
THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE:
“They are all furious and disgusted, though the reason for their anger is pretty much split down party lines, with Conservatives MPs appalled at the opposition MPs who tried to stop John Bercow from leaving his seat in parliament, whereas Labour and other opposition MPs are angry at the proroguing of parliament. Both sides claim their opponents actions show them acting against the will of the people.”
“Tonight we’ve seen the sort of chaos & disgraceful behaviour that Corbyn, SNP & LibDems want for our great nation. They don’t respect parliament, democracy or the people’s vote of 2016. Only Conservatives will leave the EU & restore our sense of national pride” @Conservatives.

THE INCREDIBLE P.M.
‘Both are wrong. I am straining to get a deal, but I will also end the uncertainty and take us out on October 31.’
THE U.K. ‘LEAVES’ THE E.U. (At 23:00 hours G.M.T.)
” … they had spoke of their ‘fondness for the United Kingdom’ and praised Britons for their ‘creativity, ingenuity, culture, and traditions’.”
This is a bit rich considering that they’ve spent the past decades trying to destroy member states’ creativity, ingenuity, culture, and traditions in their pursuit of a homogenized European empire.
