Deranged Rhino Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 #StoptheCoup is trending... and is being pushed by those in the remain camp, claiming: (checks notes) "Abiding by the results of a legitimate election is tantamount to a coup." 1
Koko78 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 It was pretty astounding the lengths Parliament was going to in order to subvert the will of the UK people. May, I think, has earned a place near Chamberlain on the list of most useless PMs. 1
B-Man Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 i will put this in two threads................ Liberals do NOT want to follow the will of the "Little people" They know what is best for you and me. IT APPEARS TO BE A GLOBAL PHENOMENON: 1
Tiberius Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Quote Britain’s Parliament returns from its summer recess and is facing a titanic showdown over Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to leave the European Union. Here’s what we know: ●Johnson has lost his majority in Parliament, with the defection of Conservative Phillip Lee to the Liberal Democrats. ●The opposition, including members of Johnson’s party, is seeking to pass legislation to delay Brexit. ●Johnson has said that if his foes succeed he will call early elections. LONDON — Boris Johnson, speaking Tuesday before the British Parliament for only the second time since becoming prime minister, is facing a rebellion of lawmakers who are livid about his plan to shut them down and who are desperately trying to stop Britain from leaving the European Union without a withdrawal deal on Oct. 31. The opposition, which includes members of Johnson’s Conservative Party, is seeking to take control of the agenda and pass legislation to delay Brexit by an additional three months. Johnson has warned that if his foes succeed, he will trigger a snap general election — and bar those who vote against him this week from running as Conservatives. In Parliament, Johnson was heckled and catcalled from almost the moment he stood to speak. He noted that Tuesday was the 80th anniversary of Britain’s entrance into World War II and said “This country still stands then as now for democracy for the rule of law.” He was met with jeering laughter. He insisted that Britain was making progress in talks with European Union leaders about an orderly Brexit, which drew more mocking laughter. Aided by repeated demands for “Order” by House Speaker John Bercow, Johnson said his opponents’ proposal to delay Brexit by another three months after Oct. 31 would “Force us to beg for yet another pointless delay.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/showdown-set-for-the-british-parliament-as-legislators-return-from-summer-recess/2019/09/03/105ecca6-cb6c-11e9-9615-8f1a32962e04_story.html

B-Man Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 THE POLITICAL CLASS STRIKES BACK: Today was a very dark day for British democracy. The political class has taken back control – from the people. BRENDAN O'NEILL 3rd September 2019 Don’t believe for one minute the self-aggrandising claims of the Remainer establishment and its noisy cheerleaders in the media. Tonight’s vote by MPs to seize control of the parliamentary agenda in order to prevent a No Deal Brexit is not, as they claim, a wonderful assertion of parliamentary sovereignty against a dictatorial executive led by Boris Johnson. No, it is an assertion of the political elite’s arrogant authority over the people. If MPs have seized power from anyone this evening, it is from us, the public, the millions who voted to leave the EU. This is not parliament vs the executive – this is parliament vs the people, and it opens up one of the greatest, most troublesome constitutional crises of modern times. In essence, this evening MPs have gone some way, almost all the way, to achieving the terrible thing they have been agitating for since June 2016: stopping Brexit. That is their fundamental aim. It is essential to understand that when they talk about ‘blocking No Deal’, they mean ‘blocking Brexit’. For more than three years they have hampered, frustrated and foiled Brexit, tying it in legal knots, ‘softening’ it beyond recognition, and constantly sending signals to the EU that we will accept whatever ridiculous, Brexit-thwarting compromises they demand. They’ll be lucky if they’re not hanging from lampposts before it’s over. . 1 2
