Boris Johnson asks Queen to suspend Parliament

Nice chess move by Boris....not just on our turf....it also sends a message to EU that they need to change the deal....or we WILL be off without one....

Let's be clear, all those remainers jumping up and down about how terrible this is would be praising the lib Dems if they organised something like this to stop brexit.

It isn't about democracy, it's just about winning or losing.

Fwiw I signed the petition, just to register my dissent.

As someone who voted for Brexit it was on the provisio that the MPs would be able to negotiate a "reasonable" deal regarding trade, borders and ther like, isnt that what there job actually is? Why I believed them this time is my own fault, I myself would not change my original vote of "leave" but I did not vote leave to settle for the worst outcome for the population of my nation, but is it any suprise that politicians again prove their incompetance.

Being free of the EU will still be a positive but having such a clueless bunch of MPs from all sides of the spectrum as shown by their total lack of ability to resolve anything during the last 3 years, quite simply pathetic.

So bring on a hard exit from the EU Boris and wait for the general election to swing around, I am happy to admit I am a brexit voter who will never vote for Boris or Nigel.

You have to admire Boris for the lengths he will go to , to protect the Queen.
Before 9am this morning when this news broke and dominated the entire media spectrum in the UK and beyond, (probably for days to come) the biggest story of the day was going to be.....
Prince Andrew being called out to take responsibility for something.

Helloo . It's quite satisfying to see the likes of Blair and Major both getting personal angst about leaving even though they're former PMs from different parties . It shows us who they really have been - simply pro EU plants , regardless of British internal politics . We've had traitors in charge all this time .

Just like all these other MP getting really desperate not to leave ... because they'll lose their protection and we'll see them for what they really are .. plants .

"Soubury is a Nazi , la la la la . "

That's not so very far from being the actual truth is it . Soubury *isn't* a Nazi pedo , would nt surprise anyone in the least . You can bet quite a few of those traitorous pro Europe plants are pedos too like Edward Heath . People like Edwina Curry were big fans of Jimmy Saville too , gave him the governorship of Broadmoor .. that's fkd up # , must've happened for a reason . It's not a stretch to say IICSA got to the bottom of all this and concluded Europe was the problem all along .

Do you know what, thats not an unreasonable assumption, JE has been on the radar for the Feds for over 10 years, if PA is guilty of similar crimes, has this Brexit thing been the smoke screen all along for the real crimes, I like your train of thought.

More reason for me to also think Boris is a fool if this was the plan, not that there are millions of other reasons

That could be a thread on its own.

Not sure you should name and shame the living like that though, could get the site in trouble.

Elements within Parliament would be more accurate, wouldn't it?

If this temporary suspension of Parliament is a fairly common practice during govt. change over, then this fru-frah is political grandstanding.

Can a Scottish court over turn the Queens order/request??

The Queen is above the law.

No the Scottish court can not overturn the Queens decision. What they are trying to do is challenge the request to the Queen as unlawful.... obviously it's not.

Yes this is all political grandstanding by a group of pro-EU politicians and media working against their own country.

So an unelected minority government leader just dissolved politics via a divinely appointed monarch to wreck the economy for a laugh. Still laughing at Venezuela, anyone?

So sick of hearing ^^^^That^^^^So......


Just so as you and others including remainers in Parliament will know and

remember it I shall put it in BIG.......


THE P.M OF ANY PARTY IS NEVER VOTED FOR BY THE PUBLIC.

The public vote for members of Parliament and they in turn CHOOSE

their leader who becomes the PRIME MINISTER.


So I hope never to hear again the term UNELECTED LEADER

Facts don't matter, reality doesn't matter when traitors need a narrative.
Even people like Corbyn are using this utter propaganda to mislead the gullible and uninformed.

a reply to: SprocketUK

Good advice language readjusted .

Here's a point : Soubury arguing yesterday on bbc tv news , that Voteleave 'promised' a deal before Brexit : the very same grounds tested by theothersideof when they made a thread about 10 days ago . Off the back of his own digging around in their website by his own account . He didn't get very far with it , they're just using semantics for argument's sake .
Shows a desperate clawing around for traction , when there's hardly any argument that supports stay in , OR not leaving without a deal .

a reply to: ScepticScot

I disagree , I think the no deal brexit will bring more people in Scotland into the independence YES camp.


in the indy ref 2014 many people voted to remain in the Union on the premise that we wouldnt be leaving the EU.

and considering that scotland voted unanimously to remain in the EU they now feel they havent got what they voted for , which is funny because thats exactly what happens every single general election, we get a government or coalition government we didnt vote for.

62% to 38%, hardly unanimously.

a reply to: PrinceRegent

Yeah, pretty much anything coming from remain is a load of tosh.

What happened today is a result of the damage that remain has done to our society in the last 3 years.

Oh apologies, by majority

a reply to: UKTruth

So are the other members of our government calling this un-democratic , do they know what they are talking about ?
since they are politicians and probably know more about politics than you or I or anyone on ATS.
three people off the top of my head

Bercow , Major , and Sturgeon
speaker of the house , prime minister of UK , and First Minister of Scotland.
not just yer average joe's who chat politics in the pub over a pint is it.

So are they wrong then mate ?

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin

A no-confidence vote has got to be in the works somehow.
