Barnier calls the latest backstop proposals by bojo the clown "unacceptable "

Quote:
The UK government has proposed maintaining an all-Ireland sanitary and phytosanitary zone for agrifood products to ensure that the flow of 30% by value of the trade across the border is unimpeded.

The EU has said this “partial” solution does not avoid additional customs and VAT checks on the island of Ireland nor deal with the issue of manufactured goods that cross the border after Brexit.

The backstop in the withdrawal agreement would in effect keep Northern Ireland in the single market and the whole of the UK in a shared customs territory in order to maintain peace, protect the north-south economy and avoid border infrastructure of even additional related checks.

Of the UK’s suggestion that customs paperwork could be done away from the border and that technology and trusted trade schemes could facilitate the necessary checks, Barnier raised doubts.

“Objectively, there are possibilities,” Barnier said, but added: “I don’t know how to inspect a cow with virtual methods.”

The referendum was extremely badly planned.

However, I think it should NOT be dismissed that 2 Nations of the UK voted remain and 2 Nations voted leave.
The 2 who voted remain both voted by double figure majorities to.

It really was only the fact England has around 5 times the voters of Scotland, Wales and N Ireland put together which decided the referendum outcome.

Now okay it was a UK refetendum.
However dismissing and overriding the divisions of the 4 Countries of the UK.
Will mean probably those divisions will never heal.
As 2 of them will feel their needs and status are irrelevant.

I think, just my view, a new referendum is needed and at least 3 UK Countries must vote the same way for it to be valid and acted on.

On Monday, the head of the Bar Council condemned unidentified “Number 10” sources who were quoted in the weekend papers as warning the judiciary about taking sides over Brexit.

Richard Atkins QC, chair of the organisation that represents barristers in England and Wales, also criticised death threats sent to one of the litigants in the prorogation case whose home address was revealed on Twitter.

“It is a low point in the history of our nation when a faceless ‘No 10 source’ refers to ‘remainiac lawyers’ and issues threats to the judiciary about its constitutional role suggesting that judges take sides,” said Atkins.

“The rule of law and the independence of the judiciary are fundamental pillars of our democracy. Judges do not take sides as the Downing Street source suggests, but apply the law ‘without fear or favour’.”

Just have a ruddy election.
Make sure all sides have a crystal clear manifesto as to Brexit, and get on with it.
Then we can have the horror of finding someone suitable to rule the country out of the rabble on offer.

Any other PM would be forced out after this from the highest court in the land.

He has NO credibility left.
Not a scrap.

Exactly. What the point in him staying now? He can't be trusted.

its a good point though, there is usually some punishment for an unlawful act, this isn't over yet, it will go back to the lower courts for action

For 5 to 6 days before a Queens speech.
A Queens speech he may not even get passed.

If he tried a longer one, this judgements would render that already unlawful and he'd see it back in court again.

I don't think you grasp the seriousness of his manipulation and deceit in this, even involving the Monarch

All 11 judges agreed the judgement.

Defend him all you will, HE has tried to get away with closing down democracy in the UK.

So much for leave supporters saying this was taking democracy back.

This is a disgrace from a serving PM.

I only found out a few months ago that the queen has never had a driving lesson, has never taken her test, and doesn't even have a licence, yet still drives on the roads.
