Some Tories trying to undermine our rule of law

The other issue looming is Johnson’s behaviour over the garden bridge. The backhanders said to have been paid and the vast amount of money wasted

Matthew Paris thinks that Johnson’s relationship with Jennifer Acuri, a pole dancer and money paid to her will run and run and very likely bring him down.

Civil servants are concerned at what the government is requesting them to do with data, they are being told to harvest from the web site that advises people what to do in the event of Brexit.

Yet one other very shady area.

The government is potentially breaking the law.

oh yes- 'just people' - lest they be experts or anything dreadful like that

The DM article says she worked in a bar while lecturing in law at Manchester Uni.

Even the DM called Lady Hale a "girly swot". She went to a state school and ended up with a double first from Cambridge and has called for more women at the Bar.

Sounds like the kind of person somebody who wants opportunities would champion! Isn't that what Mrs Thatcher was supposed to be all about?

Was pleased to see a tweet praising the 'girly swots' - Lady Hale, Joanna Cherry and Gina Miller!

Best thing all round......a GE ASAP!

The Daily Mail use it is an entirely pejorative way.

There is further suggestions that Johnson is intending to ignore the law.

He intends to send the required letter requesting a further extension to the Brexit process, but will follow it up,with a letter requesting Brussels to ignore the request.

I can see further Supreme Court activity ahead.

If Lady Hale was an ex barmaid (I know absolutely nothing about her) then surely she epitimises everything that we supposedly admire - achievement, getting on in life, bettering herself i things that many people aspire to?

They are so entitled that they feel entitled to ignore the constitution and law when it suits them.

They never expected the little people to bite back and they are furious as a result.

The sooner people understand that Brexit has never been about the "ordinary people" but a civil war between branches of the elite, the better.

JRM, Farage, Tice, Banks, Johnson and the rest couldn't give a stuff about the little people. They're as entitled and elite as anybody, but object to people calling them out. They want to leave the EU, so that they can make more money in unregulated markets.

Leave voters are foot soldiers who have only one asset - they have a vote, which the Leave elite have manipulated. It doesn't take an expert to know what leaders do with their foot soldiers once they have no further useful purpose.

Amagran; I agree totally with what you say and I fear for law and order in this country; what examples are these people setting; first it was OK to lie and now OK to ignore the laws of this land...

The DM calling Lady Hale an “ex barmaid”

What charmers they are.

If what the Supreme Court did yesterday was a 'constitutional coup' (Mogg, 2019, on the back of a ticket to the Cayman Islands) , what kind of coup was the prorogation of Parliament?

The elite entitled continues, following others who are disclosing people’s private addresses etc..

Quentin Letts in today's Sun: "Where do these top lawyers live, which clubs do they belong to, what are the political views of their spouses?"

Sinister.

The insidious writings of those trying to tumble our rule of law. It sounds unpleasantly aggressive. In fact pretty horrible and threatening.

This is Quentin Letts (Haileybury, TCD, Cambridge) writing down for Sun readers and urging the masses to hate British judges and British courts. JRM also at it. Eton-led anti-elite populism. How ugly

“What do we know of the 11 judges who made yesterdays unprecedented decision? Not much. Yet.

But let’s alight on the head of the Supreme Court Lady Hale. She’s the beady-eyed nanny goat who read yesterday’s judgement”

Johnson is still threatening to break the law.

Will not act!,

This is extremely alarming, and in view if an imminent election points to more illegality.

Given this governments record and it’s close connection to LeaveUK it is almost certain that they win act on the recommendations

The Electoral Commission

We are concerned about the apparent weakness in the law, highlighted by this investigation outcome, which allows overseas funds into UK politics. We have made recommendations that would tighten the rules on campaign funding and deter breaches. We urge the UK's governments to act on those recommendations to support voter confidence"

Dinahmo, I too cried with relief and pride in our country for having such a justice system. And then we had the reaction from the Tories and the right wing press. How dare people think that they know more about the law than the justices of the top court in the country?

No idea why the last couple of lines are duplicated. Sorry!

I'd hope that the SC judges with their many years of experience are experts not only in constitutional law but also in objectivity!
For Rees Mogg and his ditsy sister to ask how the judges voted is appalling.

Are they hoping to find that the 11 first got together over 3 years ago and decided to vote to remain? They then went on to sit in court, knowing all along that they'd unanimously agree the verdict?

Utter nonsense!

Why are they now saying brexit is being thwarted when the whole premise behind prorogation was not, according to them and to BJ, in any way brexit related?

, have over many years of experience learned the art of o jectivity.

When Tory politicians and the right wing press so blatantly and ignorantly rubbish the highest court in the land, they should not be surprised if law and order across the land disintegrates, as every thug, crook, liar, cheat and swindler will take a leaf from their book.

The arrogance of Johnson and his toxic crew is truly, truly breathtaking. And deeply, deeply disturbing. No decent person should question the motives or the unanimous judgment of 11 of our Supreme Justices.

Watching Lady Hale's delivery of the Supreme Court's judgement yesterday brought tears to my eyes. I was expecting that the Scottish ruling would be upheld but with a small majority. That they all agreed was amazing. I thought that there is hope for the country after all. although reading some comments on the other threads earlier, i am beginning to doubt it.

I meant to say that “The illegal has landed” had to win the prize for the most witty of the day
