No seriously, this is really interesting and means Scotland/Wales (and probably NI too once it gets to this) can actually have a say about something that concerns them.

Sovereign will of the people though, yeah???

Here's the government's case for appealing the Gina Miller ruling. It's quite robust.

tl;dr

That seems to barely scratch the surface.

tl;dr

Basically they say they make decisions all the time without consulting parliament and don't see why this should be any different.

Wanted to pass this on to someone who voted brexit. Don't know anyone personally who did so thought I'd post here.

I know some people on here did vote brexit
(Though probably have this thread on ignore)

And then the answer is

"No I voted to give only our own government have influence" ;)

Or

"Happy to pay a temporary cost"

Or

"But immigrants!!!"

Or

"Some bollix from RT"

The work brexiter I have spoken to didn't Think xenophobia would get so bad. But he's not a xenophobia arsehole. You expect from other what you see in yourself..

I'm waiting for Farage to tell Trump to 'butt out' like he did when Obama commented on the EU referendum back in the spring.

UKIP aren't the honest politicians of the people, who'd have thought so after Farage barely attended any fishery committee meetings ;)

I am the most investigated MEP in history.

Sounds familiar...

I fear you may be waiting a while on that one. I gather Farage has already positively endorsed Trump's non-sensical stance. Two serious narcissists playing at narcissism. All rather sad.

And walls. And women who don't get a choice. And Tim Wetherspoon... Saucy!
