Especially when 90% of it is irrelevant anyway as we don't do FPTP referendums and you are just posting it to try and make it look like leave had a bigger vote than it did. see that's better without all the cr@p. |

In article , "dennis@home" wrote: We have already seen he will use illegal prorogue to try and stifle debate and he will use an election to do the same. Not illegal as it broke no law. Just declared unlawful on the grounds that no law allows it. Didnt they hark back to some 400 year old bill of rights to claim it was illegal to frustrate the will of parliament? And the case hinged on the fact that prorogation is deemed not to have happened within parliament, since it involves the Lords and the Queen, so was in fact 'justiciable'. No motive need be ascribed. The act itself breached that law. The legal implications are still being mulled over. That is, we are now adopting the same ****ty legal precept that the continentals use - guilty til proved innocent, and you can only do things that the law permits, rather than be forbidden to do that which the law forbids, with everything else permitted. -- Theres a mighty big difference between good, sound reasons and reasons that sound good.

Not illegal as it broke no law. I'm certain that the BBC's R4 female interviewer of Jeremy Corbyn used the term 'illegal' to describe the PM's prorogation, ... Yes? And your point is *what*, precisely? Apart from what could be sloppy preparation on someone's part, use of the correct but mild term 'unlawful' seems to have been abandoned in favour of the wrong but more pejorative term 'illegal'. Not that the BBC could be accused of engaging in perception management against the government, of course. And still it continues... Advertising an R4 programme this evening the term 'illegal' was again used to describe the prorogation. Why do the BBC keep doing this? Perhaps they just use the accepted meaning?
