We're fast becoming no better than Hungary. All it will take is for the BBC to be truly knobbled and the electoral system to be rigged even more in the Tories favour.

I read a study a week or so ago that basically found that among conservatives, despite their bleating about democracy, they're sadly all too happy to jettison it and the rule of law providing they get their way.

Both of which are already in progress.
I'll let the Bar Council state the position best:

Why put yourself through it ? Don't you have enough pain in your life following Everton ?
I have a fairly broad threshold when it comes to not putting people on ignore, I don't even have you and the tea drinker in that category which obviously shows how benevolent I am, but that windup merchant and foreverblue are so far out there that the only thing to do is this....

I would never ignore Dave, we will either agree or violently disagree but it’s another opinion and a different way of looking at things...you might want to reconsider.....

I’ll check with my own Bar council this afternoon.....
It feels less and less like a democracy in the UK with each passing day. And I don't say flippantly.

Even Thatcher agreed with this basic principle.I'll let the Bar Council state the position best:

While I don't disagree, my issue with this is that you seem perfectly happy to undermine the principles of Parliamentary Sovereignty to get your wishes. It was never intended to be challenged in this way and used as a mechanism to allow the UK to break it's international obligations, but it's being butchered in the name of Brexit and you seem pretty comfortable with that.
Brexit is your side. Everything else be damned
I still can’t believe supposedly educated people actually believed and voted for these charlatans in power. I know you’d never admit it for fear of losing face but deep inside I bet you feel totally humiliated and a little bit stupid.
It is truly shameful that we've looked at Trump (and the likes of Orban) and rather than being appalled, thought instead that we'll have a bit of that. Obviously I'm not a fan of Johnson and his mob at all, but the truly depressing thing is that they were elected with a landslide. It's a pretty damning indictment of the country.

Boris will be reined in once he has sorted out whatever Eu deal we end up with. He has a job to do and is doing it very well. Just cast your mind back to the shambles of Parliament and what it was doing with Brexit late last year. Like him or loathe him the EU know they are now dealing with someone that they can just roll over. He’s fighting for all of us in the U.K. and he’s the right man for the job.....
There's one thing having different beliefs about how things might be achieved, but this mob go far beyond that. They're crooks.
