Sweet! Does the UK still do judicial duels? Will the fencer judge get to take the field, or is that someone else's job?

Dear Britain: What the flying gently caress is wrong with you? If this disease is genetic, we should know, so we can keep an eye out for it and treat it appropriately before it's too serious. Signed, The Colonies.

Dumbasses, it wasn't even binding. You could have taken it "Under consideration" and just benched it somewhere to be forgotten or just flatly turned it down. I don't know why they are trying to go through a pinhole when there are perfectly good windows and doors even if it has some broken glass.

The leave side promised the moon on a stick to everyone, including that they would totally treat this as being for realises guys, so now we have millions of angry, belligerent people who are convinced that a narrow majority means total crushing victory forever and everyone is having to go along with it because the press is run by half a dozen billionaires who are gleefully whipping them up into a frenzy.

PT6A posted:Dear Britain: It makes a lot more sense when you realise that things like the UK's "public opinion" or "knowledge of how reality works" don't actually exist in this universe, but in a hypothetical racist one conjoured up by Rupert Murdoch. Like you can tell someone that the EU doesn't work the way they are saying it does and they will not believe you because in the collective unconsciousness of the UK, the EU is nothing but an unelected body of strange, money-sucking foreigners that exists to send us Polish people and tell us how straight our bananas should be. Scientific advancements only exist to discover what does and does not give people cancer; people on welfare are literal subhumans who will never work and live like kings (and they're probably foreign); and anyone suggesting we pursue anything but zero regulations neoliberalism is a member of some kind of nebulous Euro-socialist, terrible at economics, head-in-the-clouds fifth column. The magic of the British press is that there's not like, two differing ideas about the way that the UK's economy and society could work, it's that there's only one way that the UK could ever work, it only doesn't work now because of [Europeans/poor people/foreign people/unions/The Loony Left] and anyone suggesting anything otherwise is a giant stupid idiot who knows nothing about the real world, unlike the infinitely wise and truth-telling journalists of Newscorp. The eventual fate of Britain will be to sink into the ocean like a modern-day Atlantis, once and for all proving the superiority of Plato's republican ideals over the terrible, terrible idea that was neoliberalism.

First the courts came for the Brexiters, and I said nothing because I was not a Brexiter ... Then the courts came for me, and I said nothing because the evidence that I had killed that hooker was strong, and I didn't want to incriminate myself any further.

How is this not the Rule of Law? They literally don't know how the government works. This is the chance for them not to leave the sweet heart deal they have. smdh

They literally don't know how the government works. the press are declaring the judiciary enemies of the people in a climate where violence is increasing and we recently had an MP shot. 51% of the country don't understand the rule of law and they do not want the rule of law. The counteraccusation to the claim that this is how fascism starts is "no, that devalues the word". The british public want corporate backed totalitarian leadership with no rule of law and idk what you call that if it isn't fascism

Where's a good in depth story on this developement. It is my understanding that the PM cannot trigger the Brexit and it requires a vote, but some how judges ruled on it or something, plus it was the fault of homosexual fencers?

The short answer is that in UK law if you do something via an act of parliament you need another act of parliament to repeal it, and joining the EU was an act of parliament. The PM wanted to avoid getting an act of parliament to leave the EU and was arguing that she didn't need one, but then someone brought the case before the high court and they ruled that the PM does in fact need an act of parliament to leave the EU. And now the right wing press + pro-leave MPs are accusing the High Court of pro-EU bias.

Specifically, they're arguing that it wasn't the courts jurisdiction to rule on. Of course, May has said before that a ruling would ok, so it's more a case of 'not the result we wanted so actually should never have been taken to the court.' The irony is apparently lost.

Hollow Talk posted:That is...probably not quite right: http://www.howtocrackanut.com/blog/2016/11/3/why-an-appeal-of-the-high-court-parliamentary-brexit You've misunderstood the issue. The only way this goes before european court is on the subject of whether article 50 is reversible or not, which is a matter of interpretation of EU law. For the case just ruled on, it was taken as understood it is not reversible. Now, this could be appealed and further argued, but I'm drat near certain the EU has no interest on matters of royal prerogative vs parliamentary procedure. e; those last two paragraphs in your edit are, again, about the separate question of the construction of article 50. That's simply not relevant.
