That broach is extra noice.

Suck it, de Pfeffel.

Unfortunately, the dream of the socialist 1970s is still alive in Corbyn:

There is no workable Leave deal, you stubborn old man.

That still leaves the rogues running the government.

It’s kind of refreshing and wonderful to hear Justices make a pronouncement in such clear, united, simple, and straightforward language. They don’t want to give Boris any possible room to wiggle out of this.

For those who may not understand the major significance of this, just sit back and enjoy the train wreck. Everyone likes a good train wreck, no?

With a 6-5, 7-4 or even possibly an 8-3 split, there would be some room for BJ and his chums to rework it, but an 11-0 is damning.

Verily, UK politics pegged the insanity meter some time ago. That brooch, now, that’s something new.

That still leaves the rogues running the government.

But didn’t the court’s order declare that parliament was not Pro-rogue?

Apparently the Queen makes statements with her brooches; perhaps Lady Hale has been inspired by this.

The hysterical reactions from the dismayed Torykippers in various comment sections are at the same time funny as hell, and deeply scary, considering the utter detachment from reality they portray.

Man, an 11-0 decision signals you done fucked up, Boris.

He is such a git. Honestly, if it turns out Putin and Bannon are co-financing him, I won’t be surprised

The law was breached, and you broached the subject of brooches.

Sorry (not sorry). :wink:

I wish I could feel good about this beyond the schadenfreude of seeing the lying bastard get thoroughly defeated, again. But, I don’t really see that this changes anything. All the major parties have immediately defaulted to “anyone with a shred of honour would resign” mode, which just doesn’t cut it anymore. Like Trump, Boris just doesn’t give a solitary shit. He’ll stand up in parliament, blame anyone but himself, and carry on while the opposition continues in its own existential crisis.

This would be a lot funnier if you say it in Bruges with a brogue.
