Note all the wrongdoings done by a government in the name of implementing their decision? How many illegalities would you accept from a government if it's done to enact your decision to leave the EU? Does your democratic decision trump the rule of law and the primacy of Parliament? If you want to argue that the latter continues to matter, then what's the line at which you accept that it's not worth it? If you will never accept that leaving the EU is not worth it, then does that mean whatever the government does in the name of enacting your decision is acceptable?

Illegalities? Which ones are they?

The latest one being the prorogation of Parliament. The reasoning behind the court decision is revealing too.

The Scottish Court, not the English Court that had the opposite view.

And the Scottish Court chose not to order anything do their judgement is toothless.

The English Court reasoning is interesting too - that nothing that has been done is against the law.

That says everything about the mentality of Leave. If they can get away with it, then it's acceptable.

That says everything about you: whatever excuse to overturn the simple fact more voted to leave. Everything else is just details - Leavers voted to leave not the method.

You seem to be happy that all politicians have to do to overturn the will of the people is just to do it poorly and say "oh dear I tried..."

i've been guilty of this too, but less personalisation of the debate would be useful.

i will endeavor to return to my more desultory presentation.

One of the leaders of the Leave campaign is currently heading the government. How does that square with that last line?

What do you think of the government ignoring Parliament's request to see the studies for no deal? It's not an impossible request, as the studies exist, and all the government has to do to comply is to make them available. Is the government's refusal to do so, on the grounds that it would only worry people, acceptable because Parliament is not currently sitting and is thus toothless?

I believe yellowhammer is now published.

that judgement is contested, and being resolved in the courts.

are there others?
