Current Affairs EU In or Out

I have no idea what the BBC think they are doing with this. What a junior lawyer thinks of the law, having not seen all of the evidence is really an irrelevance.

You had one idiot on TV earlier talking about getting rid of the Supreeme Court as it's accountable to no-one and replace it with the Law Lords. They too were accountable to no-one. It's kind of the role for the judiciary in none dictatorial states to have independence, Yet this nonsense is left largely unchallenged and uncorrected by our media.

It's a sinister drift toward authoritarianism. Questioning the Supreme Court is one thing; describing their decision as a power grab is not. The encouragement of lawlessness is being normalised by some of the most privileged people in this country.

The very best outcome for this country is that Johnson is forced out by people in ALL political parties; that would send a powerful message to the next populist flirting with sidelining democracy who turns up that they can never win.

Odd given the advice he gave to prorogue it.

Incidentally my favourite Geoffrey Cox quote is
“What’s a little buttock fondling after all? It was all such a long time ago”.

I preferred his wife beating quote for which he had to apologise for.

Enough plebs will buy it though and the judiciary gone rouge spin takes off. BBC shouldn't be peddling it though.

Mcdonnell was right last night when he said Conservatives should act against these people. Any criticism of Corbyn by the Liberal Democrats should now be seen as an attempt to deflect from this issue and right minded people should have nothing to do with them.

Whatever your ideological differences with Corbyn are, when people are openly trying to attack the judiciary in such a way they pale into insignificance and ought to be reflected in that way.

The BBC are an absolute disgrace. I hope once Johnson and his clowns are thrown out of jail, the editors who have peddled such a line are arrested to be honest. They have been allowed to get away with too much, for too log, but attacking the fundamentals of our democracy should not be allowed to be floated in the way it has been. Nor should the deliberate misinformation be allowed to be passed off unchallenged.

The BBC are all over the place, I was listening to the radio earlier and the woman presenter was interviewing a conservative MP. Her questions were not questions but a diatribe of her own views that seemed to last minutes. The MP would say 3 words and she would be off again accusing him and Tories of a multitude of sins within another two minute rant. If the MP got to speak for more that 5% of the ‘interview’ I would be surprised. Even my wife who isn’t really bothered kept asking why she didn’t let him speak.......

The LibDems are as cynical a political organisation as there is.

We need a Popular Front against the alarming Tory slide rightwards...to encourage that party to overturn Johnson and to pull it away from becoming the Trojan Horse of far right groups who have connections to neo-fascist street gangs.

Here we go....the fall into the abyss starts.

What was that?

He used a term involving wife beating what he described as:

“It is an old saying at the Bar which simply relates to a cross-examination technique of asking a question that presumes the premise - and it’s the what in which we were taught."

Attorney General apologises for ‘joke’ about domestic violence

The Attorney General has apologised for appearing to make a “joke” about domestic violence.

I don't mind so much individual reporters or interviews having an agenda or a political persuasion but there has been an editorial decision made to prioritise balance of brodcast time over accuracy of information broadcast. When paid a stooge is given the same authority, to speak about climate change for example, as an independent scientist then all bets are off.

Be careful for what you wish for.
Be very careful indeed...

Why lad? You would rather support bigoted racists?

Why lad? You would rather support bigoted racists?

I am going to hazard a guess here, and say “yes”.
