[Vassenor]

So we've got an emergency sitting of parliament on the 19th where Boris intends to lay out his plans to break the law.

My contact in 10 Downing says Johnson intends to offer Gibraltar back to Spain for vetoing extension.

Another option would be giving Akrotiri to Cyprus and the Channel Islands to France.
Or Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. That would solve the backstop, wouldn't it?

[Shrillland]

Not content with wanting to be above the law, Boris Johnson is now about to put himself above Parliament and the Sovereign herself: https://www.yahoo.com/news/boris-johnson-planning-to-tell-queen-she-cant-sack-him-if-he-loses-no-confidence-vote-094513741.html

He wants to invoke the Lascelles Principles and advise the Queen that he shouldn't resign even after he loses a no-confidence vote, as he is likely to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the queen legally just tell him to fuck off and that's that?

Oh, probably. For all his boasting, I'm not sure he really wants a showdown with the Queen. No one's ever won one of those.

Think BoJo might have gotten a god complex after Donny bit him.

In a sane world this would be the point where the monarch tells the Prime Minister that he can jam a jaunty little bonnet on his advice and ram it up his arse with an unlubricated bollard, but Elizabeth has always been rather... passive.

[West Leas Oros 2]

Find your own feminism complaints thread please.

That would be the NS Feminist Thread. Although Ostro has a certain point, posting it here, since it's at least vaguely related to UK politics. That said, move it elsewhere Ostro.

Sort of, but it's complicated, and drags the Queen directly into making political decisions, regardless of what she does. If nothing else, she's gonna be pissed.

Leo Varadkar and Boris Johnson will apparently be meeting at an undisclosed location in north-western England to discuss Brexit, no media invited.

Overthrowing the government? You can do it when you B&Q it.

[Ifreann]

This is now a B&Q stan thread, apparently.

[The Blaatschapen]

Does Britain make its own pitchforks? Or are they imported from the EU?

This is gonna be tricky

Maybe let's not do Brexit, we need EU pitchforks, domestic pitchforks are in short supply!

I'm more concerned about Extinction Rebellions reaction to the burning torches in an urban environment...

[Ostroeuropa]

Extinction Rebellion would get a fuckload more done if they escalated tbh. They've got a lot of public support, disseminating an instruction that; "No Juror should convict any person of any crime committed against a business owner of the following businesses, the following politicians, or journalists of the following papers and programmes" and that'd pretty immediately provoke hysteria from the elites as well as actual rebellion which they would not be able to handle without abolishing jury duty and cracking down.

If even 10% of the country is on board with that action, that's it. The targetted individuals are effectively outlaws and persona non grata and no jury will find a guilty verdict against people who commit crimes against them.

The people who have destroyed our planet have names.
They have addresses.

We should act like it.

250,000 deaths per year, as of this moment, are their responsibility.

Most people are not going to be on board with going out to smashy smashy personally, but "I didn't see nuthin, that evidence could have been planted, you can't prove otherwise" is in line with peoples "I'm willing to do that" a lot more.

Currently they're going around shutting down roads and so on through non compliance and protest. Fuck that. Shut down the judiciary through non compliance and protest. Destroy their ability to protect their lives and property and place them into a climate of fear. The judiciary is the one place the majority has power over this jumped up minority of oligarchs if we decide to exercise it.

These individuals have no rights which we are required to respect if we decide not to cooperate.

Top Comment.
You don't have to be Dr Cox. You don't even have to advocate it. Just advocate "I didn't see it.".

There's a certain poetic irony to ignoring harm despite all evidence.

Boris could just withdraw all police and military from the rock and let the Spanish move in. Would the UK go to war against Spain and the EU just to preserve the rule of law ? Because once the Spanish occupy it they wont withdraw without a fight.
