The action is also supported by something called Fair Deal for Expats, whose leading lights include a British company director who lives in Limoges, France; a businessman who runs a holiday rentals business in Italy; and an English language teacher in Hamburg, Germany.
They claim not to be trying to overturn the result, simply to ensure that Parliament controls the process.
We have entered a Looking Glass world in which — to paraphrase Humpty Dumpty — referendum results mean exactly what lawyers and judges decide they mean.
Outside the court, David Greene, lawyer for Deir Dos Santos, delivered the following statement, which defies satire: ‘We are the democrats here, not the Government.’
Who voted for him?

Which is what the ruling yesterday was all about...And David Greene is right, we the people have the right to hold the govt to account and take action if their actions are unconstitutional...that's exactly what happened.
