Apparently some brexiters are calling the queen a traitor for giving Yvette Cooper's no deal Bill the royal assent.........you just couldn't make this up.....could you??? lol

lollollollollol

No, sorry mate, despite what I think of our board, that's just not going to happen in the first place as it's a totally ludicrous plan....like a certain scummy tory Cameron's was ....... lollol

But that has happened all because remainers spat their dummies out ......

If the Queen had intervened and gone the other way the anti Roylist would have gone mad - not saying she should have got involved though......

Errr I was referring to Cameron's idea of a referendum in the first place, not what has happened since then......sigh....

The current line of Brexiteer thinking seems to be

'we need our heroic unelected institutions to save us from the decisions of our elected representatives, in order to give power back to our elected representatives, because it's been taken by an unelected institution'

Errrr. Any parliamentary bill has to have royal assent once it's passed through both houses.........

Khalekan, we keep repeating this. The Brexiteers don't even acknowledge that there is a border problem. That is the kind of thick, pig headed approach that has us where we are now. There are two solutions;-a customs border down the Irish Sea (which May wanted, therefore throwing her DUP mates under the bus), or a United Ireland. The irony of these clowns (Wilson, Paisley, Campbell, Rees Mogg, Redwood, Francois etc etc) bringing forward the timeline for full Irish independence is delicious.

Did you even bother to read my answer to Khals post.

The Queen hasnt intervened mate. She does what Parliament tell/ask her to do. Parliament wanted Royal Ascent on a bill that night, so she HAS to give it. Tis the rules. (Well, she doesnt HAVE to, unless she fancies looking for a new job).

Screw that.

Joe, if I thought for one moment an ageing, privileged arl bird could stymie any Bill passed in the HOC, no matter what the Bill was about, I would take to the barricades myself.

That our parliament still has to go through this charade of “royal assent” in the 21st century is just barking mad IMO.

You wouldn’t be a royalist Joe, would you?

He's a 'card carrying socialist' so I doubt it.

Its pretty harmless though. Just part of the deal struck after the Civil War, allowing Parliament to over rule the Monarch, but allowing the Monarch the fig leaf of illusory "power".

No, but the Queen has stayed out of politics all her life - also it's another reason to abolish the House of Lords ......

That's what my post indicated the furor if she had intervened ok.....

She. Didnt. Intervene.
