Judgement Day

Yep, para 122 explicit that a short Act would be sufficient. No drama. Opposition will attempt to coalesce around 1-2 amendments and fail on anything important. They may secure more scrutiny of the process, but will fail on anything about the outcome/strategy.

Indeed, let the train wreck proceed.
The first-class passengers are relatively insulated and the resultant pain for the rest will be good for the soul of the country.
Britain has lacked any experience of occupation or disaster for far too long, a Götterdämmerung moment is needed to focus minds.

Putting on a brave face I see sas. However, your chagrin is transparently clear.

You are attempting to fool people into thinking that you are going to make a whopping fortune out of Brexit as you are so wonderfully talented and wealthy. However the truth is very different.

The fact that you voted Remain shows us that your REAL ambitions never lay further than selling up and retiring to Portugal to eke out an existence in some tumbledown finca.

With Brexit now a foregone conclusion, those plans are firmly up in the air. Hence you feel the need to try and pretend that it is all somehow going to work to your advantage and you are going to make a killing.

You are not really fooling anyone. Why not just admit it? You are miffed that some of the wheels have fallen off your retirement carriage? Perfectly understandable viewpoint.

I think the most important aspect of the judgement was that the devolved powers have no right to stop progress. This was unanimous.

Indeed. Lol. That was very big news.

I have no issue with parliament having a vote on treaty change. But it works both ways, I hope the days of PMs like Gordon Brown are gone, when he signed Lisbon Treaty without so much as a by your leave.

Democracy in action. The right to court action and the right to appeal are part of our system and seeing that followed properly is just as important as seeing the referendum result followed. The government had every right to challenge the ruling.

Get on with getting things done now please.

As far I understood would affect the citizen's rights and the Government, in this case, can't sign or change the treaties without parliament authorization. Sounds fair to me.

As long as it's not impeded by the House of Lords. If those unelected b* try and hold things up we need a mass rally, string them up from lamp posts Mussolini-style.

PS As even a gun emoji on Twitter is deemed a hate crime these days (in this modern world of over-sensitive wooftahs!) I wish to alter that to tie them to lampposts and pour porridge on their heads.
