Scots aren't known for pussy -footing around! I'd have said the same of any one of them who genuinely seemed to be in full support of what he was saying! I didn't think the judges seemed the least bit put out!
O’Neill did himself no favours with the judges yesterday, what on earth possessed him to be so confrontational ( and rude actually) ? I agree with Fiachna50 ....all it needed was him waving his sword in the air and shouting ‘yon English will never take us alive!’ ?
Disappointed that the N I representative, Lavery, has been reminded three times that the hearing is not dealing with brexit-related issues but solely with the legality of the prorogation. He hasn't contributed much to the case. OTOH , John Redwood doesn't seem to see this and he has conflated the two issues.
Much as I have sympathy re the case and not a Boris fan. This guy made me cringe. I half expected him to start quoting the nonsense from that Godawful Braveheart film. The most inaccurate film ever. I just wasnt impressed and by the look of some of them around that courtroom, they weren't either.
I'd watched earlier and found Eadie's delivery was so tedious that I couldn't concentrate and turned off. O'Neill, OTOH, was passionate and ostensibly sincere. I had virtually no problem in understanding and hung on his every word. Before anyone accuses me of superficiality I have to say that their different styles made a difference to my ability to comprehend their cases not necessarily to who was right or wrong. (But I have to admit that from the outset I was sympathetic to the Miller/Cherry case!)
The above said by a Scottish QC at the Supreme Court yesterday. It was said in a gorgeous, rolling dialect which gave it a kind of poetic gravitas which described all the shenanigans in the most succinct way. Does anyone agree or disagree?
