Parliament suspended. Democracy?!

Didn’t see the other thread but my comments still hold.

In 1642, Charles I suspended Parliament. The MPs decamped to the Guild Hall courtesy of the Lord Mayor, and carried on.
Didn't end well for the king

It is getting serious- yes I know, hysterical some of you will say- but it feels like Civil War.

Absolutely, the man is a gambler, dishonest and cynical, out for his own ends and he's playing with the stability and economic welfare of the nation and people support him! Of course, the tabloids have a lot to answer for, the headlines lately have been overt lies which I am amazed they are allowed to publish.

And let us not forget David Cameron and the Tory Party whose perpetual wars are costing us a fortune. They have split the country, I wouldn't be surprised to see trouble on the streets.

Remember Cameron saying 'it is strong stable Government with me or chaos with Milliband'

Not a Boris fan' but it needed tough action, which the Queen sanctioned.

I think this proves that the Queen is indeed merely a plaster cast of a monarch rolled out for ceremonial purposes only. If ever there was a moment when her hands were tied, this is it!

God save the queen

rule Britannia

notentirelyallhere Didn’t you realise this before now?

Peonyrose ??Exactly, we cannot carry on as a nation like we are doing now, we are either in or out of the EU.

ha bloody ha ,God may well be the only one who can save her after this debacle comes to its end ..and as for Rule Britannia???What century are YOU living in ? This DISunited kingdom is on its knees

Hooray, God save the Queen. Best news for weeks!!

I've grudgingly got to hand it to Boris. Currently he's trying to negotiate with EU while they just think anything he does will just be negated by Westminster. This way he looks like he's playing hard ball. Interesting times.

Lots of protests happening on Saturday

It won't end well, and our children and their children will pay the price.

Hope the protests are peaceful.

Stop catastrophising everybody. Don't let yourselves be wound up by the media.

I don't remember that jura but if he really believed it was a strong stable gov. with him, why did he resign?

Well said Jane10 but catastrophising and mass hysteria is what social media does best ( unfortunately.)

Social media AND some remainers

I was a remainer but wanted a deal if we had to go. The whiners at Westminster should have voted for Theresa's deal and just got on with sorting out the red tape. Not the end of the world and it still isn't.

Amen to that Jane10 ??

Sensible post Jane10
A voice of reason.

Jane10 ????

Jane 10, my thoughts exactly! I think that Boris is sending a message to the EU.
