Toxteth was 1981, and Jim was still younger and juicy back then. Riot police does not send the oldest horses to the streets, but the young panthers.

In those days the police were real police and took no stick from these wet behind the ears bleeding heart liberals that have destroyed our once great police force.
Jim... Back on the big news today I am not buying that guff about the queen's speech bit that is so lame of an excuse by bojo.

The Queen has given her consent to Boris request for the prorogation of Parliament and in all fairness to her she had very little wriggle room to make any kind of political decision because.....the Queen acts on the advice of her prime minister.

No surprise and understandable. However these kind of situations raise one important question: if the Queen does not have power to scrutinize morally or legally questionable advice, then why such position should exist? I'm not saying, that Her Majesty should be granted power to completely overrule HM Government, but power to subject such questionalble advice to parliamentary vote, would be sensible in my opinion.

After have following your comments in this thread and by following the news in Denmark, Sweden and a little in German
I understand why B.J. Toke this step. Furthermore The Parliament shouldn't pointing fingers at B.J. and accuse him for...(forgot the word) ´cause the way they have acted or lack of acting in the Brexit, show that they(the parliament) have the biggest fault. The British people voted for a Brexit-Please respect this. Markus |

Also, Corbyn has no point to make if meeting the Queen. In these days, its Her Majesty's government by name only - not by meaning. Formally, Johnson, as far as I understand the British system, has practiced means of the PM's legal, formally encoded powers, with precedences of PMs before having done it, too. A parliament that has made such a foul joke and hilarious carricature of itself in past months, has no moral ground to claim anymore. If now they get outmanouvered, the only ones they have to accuse for that, are themselves. Johnson really sets upa a fight on all fronts, it seems. It was this kind aggressiveness that I expected from the british side from day one after the referendum on - and practiced against the EU. This crisis comes from a disagreement on what modern "democracy" should be. Is the will of the voting majoirty of the people at its focus, or is the will of a small fraudulent wannabe-elite that creeps to and usurps power at its focus by using decepetion, bribery, fraud and lies? Both is not what the ancient Greek idea was about, so do not even try to start loooking there, ancient Greek and modern contemporary democracy are two totally different things, the one being the antagonist to the other.

Johnson said "The candyfloss of outrage we've had over the last 24 hours, which I think is almost entirely confected, is from people who never wanted to leave the European Union," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "This is the greatest period of anger for them, or of confected anger, because after 31 October we will have left," he added. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...onstitutional/ Reese-Moog said the only "constitutional crisis" was being caused by those who opposed the decision of the 2016 referendum. Think of him what you want, he is right with that.
