Cant quite get my bonce round this. Am I being weapon grade stupid by saying that what ever way you look at this, at the end of the day, the Prime Minister of the UK is actively trying any way he can to circumvent a law made by the UK House of Commons?

Or have I missed sommet?

Desperate to keep his investors happy.

Even Boris's sister hinted that he is under pressure from people who want a no-deal brexit who have gambled a lot of money.

Bad state of affairs when his own brother and sister don't trust him.

They know him best.

Can anyone actually imagine that nob-rot leading this country for 5 years?

I cant, and it's why I'm very confident that at the very least we're headed toward a hung parliament, at which point he'll be dispatched by the Tories, and possibly a Labour-led coalition.
 
I wonder if there are any European laws, that supersede any "Ben act" law passed by parliament, that can be enacted or exploited to facilitate us leaving on the 31st come what may?

As ever, Chris Grey's blog makes excellent reading

https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/

A very relevant extract pasted below:

"The Ultra Brexiters would have been far happier had they lost. They want something to object to, rather than an alternative. They want to campaign against, rather than create. To complain, rather than to take responsibility.

For they could have had their Brexit by now had they really wanted it. Instead, step by step, lie by lie, they have torched soft Brexit, torched hard Brexit, and indeed rejected any concrete form of Brexit as a betrayal of some imagined ‘true’ Brexit. Hence gradually the onion skins have been peeled away until the fetid heart of it is exposed: not a policy but an undeliverable fantasy composed of lies and articulated in the language of spite, contempt and hate. That was once the preserve of a few fanatics. Their terrible achievement has been to spread the fantasy and the language to a much larger number, though still a minority, of the population.

Their desire, shown in their constant lie to that effect, is to claim it as the view of every single one of the 17.4 million people, most of whom had no such intention, and none of whom were told that it meant smashing the economy and every institution of democratic society, the possible dissolution of the United Kingdom, and the instigation of a permanent culture war.

Their final mendacity is to insist that this is not just the choice of that narrow majority of those who voted, but the settled will of ‘the people’ in their entirety and opposed only by some shadowy elite or establishment. "

That blog is indeed a good read. Thanks for the link. I know nothing of the authors politics nor background, but he articulated what a few thought 3 years ago, and many more, like me, who have slowly caught on to what the long game being played by small number of folk is.

I, and him, may be wrong. I pray to god we are. But at the very least, I just wish folk on the rump of the Leave movement just stop, take a breath, forget about the slogans and 17.4m, and ask themselves one, simple, question.

Why are Johnson, Farage, Cummings, Banks, et al, SO keen to deliver a No Deal? And ask the same of Putin and Trump.

Answer that honestly, and the scales should slide from your eyes. Should. They wont though, cos you wont want to admit you have been had. Big time.

Why are you so scared of leaving the EU, why do you believe it would be a bad thing?
