The UK government has given no powers away. The UK Parliament has, but it can at any point recall those powers.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Apart from making a pedantic point about accuracy of my comment the reality is that it is very hard now for powers to be returned unless an extreme party (UKIP) is elected to power.Originally posted by speling bee View PostThe UK government has given no powers away.

Parliament represents the will of the people. If the people don't believe in it, it goes away. If it has no legitimacy it cannot operate.Originally posted by speling bee View PostBecause Parliament is supreme and if it wishes to act to disable democratic instruments, then it cannot be challenged constitutionally. Any challenge would be unconstitutional: e.g. military coup, popular revolution, general strike, appointment by the Privy Council of an interim administration. Any of these might be justified, but they would not be constitutionally justified.
Now, stop being so wrong.
This country cannot be hijacked by a small group of individuals.
Now stop being so negative on UK democracy. Hitler was voted in, so was Stalin. But it won't happen in the UK.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.Comment

The difference between Parliament and government is significant.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostApart from making a pedantic point about accuracy of my comment the reality is that it is very hard now for powers to be returned unless an extreme party (UKIP) is elected to power.
It is not at all hard to repatriate powers. A single Act of Parliament is all that it would take.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

SloughOriginally posted by vetran View PostWould be an Islamic state in a Month! America invading before XMAS (or the Holidays).
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
