Thread Name: BS: Brexit again
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit again
Well, ignoring Little and Large for a minute (don't they waste their emotional energy!), it now seems that the government, scared of a Supreme Court adverse judgement, are thinking of getting their lawyers to make the case that Article 50, after all they've said, wouldn't be irrevocable after all! That being so, they say that MPs wouldn't then be entitled to a vote in the Commons as the High Court ruled because triggering Article 50 wouldn't inevitably mean that domestic laws and EU rights would be changed. So they're going to the Supreme Court to tell the Justices that they lied about Article 50 and that brexit may not mean brexit after all! Talk about government by shower...

By the way, Teribus, you were whingeing only yesterday about how we remoaners should consider how much public dough these referendums cost. Made me wonder how much public dough the government's lawyers and these judges are getting paid for all this "let's do our best to subvert democracy" malarkey. Bet they're having a field day!
