I wonder if the way the British people voted in this referendum, can tell us if they support Boris J or not in this closing the Parliament ?

I voted leave as in a proper agreed agreement that was fair for both sides. Unfortunately politician's got in the way causing the bloody mess we have today. And no i don't support bojo's actions that have sealed his fate which only time will tell one way or the other.

I do agree the whole thing has been blown up by the media and the pro EU supporters which will lead to the other side of the fence hitting back....Vicious circle getting worst.

And this could well turn into the civil unrest I made mention of earlier.

Highly unlikely Markus because the referendum had no connection withg Boris or the closure of Parliament.

A Scottish judge has refused to order a temporary halt to Boris Johnson's plan to shut down the UK Parliament.

A group of 75 parliamentarians were seeking an interim interdict - similar to an injunction - at the Court of Session ahead of a full hearing.

Their request was declined by Lord Doherty, who said he was not satisfied there was a "cogent need" for an interdict.

However the full hearing will now be heard next Tuesday, rather than Friday.

Lord Doherty told the court that it was in the interest of justice, and in the public interest, that the case proceeds sooner rather than later.

But he said: "I am not satisfied that it has been demonstrated that there is a need for an interim suspension or an interim interdict to be granted at this stage."

This was largely because the full case will be heard before 9 September - the first possible date that parliament can be suspended.

The judge will hear legal arguments from the parliamentarians and the UK government on Tuesday, with his final ruling potentially being delivered the following day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-49521132

A first round victory for common sense but only a temporary one until the final hearing is concluded.

I agree this could spill over on to the streets and get very ugly. Riots are not the answer and achieve nothing. Politician's caused this and they damn well better get this sorted out before we see riots up and down the land.


That court case only took place in Scotland because the High Court here was closed.

I can't see the judicial system wanting to get involved if they can avoid it at all because there are no laws actually being broken.

One thing is crystal clear though, this whole sordid affair is bringing all the elected individuals opposed to the referendum result out of the shadows and I predict many of them are signing away their political futures at the next general election.

The recent EU election whilst not exactly mirroring a general election did show a clear pattern of how the UK electorate might vote and Steptoe in particular has obviously forgotten how badly that turned out for Labour.

Did BoJo arrange extra holiday for people in the High Cout or what is the reason for this closure?

[Jimbuna]

The Scottish court had the quickest/nearest free slot.

The courts wont get involved. The PMs actions are legal and Constitutional and there is precedent for it.

The only recourse is political, a vote of non confidence in the Commons.

Boris is playing hardball, but politics is not a game for gentlemen.

[Jimbuna]

^ Agreed

Even if a vote of no confidence was achieved, Boris would simply ignore the fact and carry on.

[Bilge_Rat]

Btw, former Canadian PM Harper is informally advising Johnson. Harper used the same tactic in 2008 to survive a no confidence vote he was certain to lose. By the time Parliament reconvened a few months later, he had managed to peel away an opposition party and survived the no confidence vote. No doubt the idea came partly from him.

Doesn't look like Steptoes request for an audience with Her Majesty will be accepted.
