Supreme Court hearing

[Old Greg]

So Scooty is incorrect, again.

Scooty is the exception that proves the rule: 'Remainers are cleverer than leavers.'

ITER is a shocking waste of money (already massively over-budget) and it almost certainly won't work (as intended). It's one of the (many) reasons UK taxpayers should be screaming to get out of the EU. There are too many crack-pots reading too much science fiction, and too many gullible politicians looking to make a name for themselves.

One acronym....

HS2.

[scooterscot]

Except it's not an EU project. It's based in France but involves 35 different countries including Japan, China, India, Korea, Russia and the US as well as the EU.

Exactly. This is the problems with Brexlings, they know only what they read in the wail.

Less forget the technology that's developed to the benefit of all in these amazing projects.

[scooterscot]

It's only money, **** it!

Actually not. I can think of 18 engineering companies in the UK I know as sub-suppliers dependent on the project.

Truly a massive Tory @£$£ up manufactured by Oxbridge graduates.

HS2.

I agree entirely. HS2 is a catastrophic waste of £56bn plus untold extra billions to build a line that's in the wrong place.
The difference with ITER is we'll eventually have a railway line, the only thing they'll have is the world's most expensive kettle...

At least the kettle with deliver a good cuppa. There will be no trains on the line

Travelled to Birmingham twice recently - only person in 1st class

No demand for this service (except for the 3000 that commute every day at peak times, give them all £5million each to retire and we have saved 50 billion ) - sorted

Personal hygiene issues...?

Should be interesting to see how the Supreme Court negotiate this constitutional minefield.

Proroguing and prerogative: have the courts just upended our constitution?

"There are two points to consider here. The first is whether advice to the Queen from her government should be able to be challenged, should be justiciable in any regard. The second is a wider issue: if the courts can strike down a decision like the prorogation of parliament (carried out, let us not forget, in the name of the monarch, not the administration), what does that say about the nature of the remaining so-called prerogative powers, those residual items of authority left to the Crown to exercise, supposedly without oversight? What is a prerogative, after all, if one is answerable for it?"

[DaveB]

Not looking good for Boris atm.

Judges asking some very good questions of the Governments lawyer and not getting convincing answers. If parliament can be prorogued indefinitely and at will by the executive, how can parliament perform it's duty to exercise checks and balances on the executive?
