The Secretary of State's ease regarding his ability to give notice under Article 50 was based squarely on the Crown's prerogative power. His counsel made it clear that he does not contend that the 2015 Referendum Act supplied a statutory power for the Crown to give notice under Article 50. He is right not to do so. Any argument to that effect would have been untenable as a matter of statutory interpretation of the 2015 Referendum Act.
That Act falls to be interpreted in light of the basic constitutional principles of parliamentary sovereignty and representative parliamentary democracy which apply in the United Kingdom, which lead to the conclusion that a referendum on any topic can only be advisory for the lawmakers in Parliament unless very clear language to the contrary is used in the referendum legislation in question. No such language is used in the 2015 Referendum Act. Further, the 2015 Referendum Act was passed against a background including a clear briefing paper to parliamentarians explaining that the referendum would have advisory effect only. Moreover, Parliament must have appreciated that the referendum was intended only to be advisory as the result of a vote in the referendum in favour of leaving the European Union would inevitably leave for future decision many important questions relating to the legal implementation of withdrawal from the European Union. It's f*cking impressive that your knowledge is greater than that of the judges, the secretary of state, and their legal team. You should give the appeal team and theresa a call to see if you can help out. |

Does not matter if it's legally binding or not (it's not), because in effect it is - politically binding that is, nobody is going to overturn Brexit, it would be career suicide.

When I lived in Holland German far right wingers were attacking Turks in racially motivated attacks in Germany
when Germans visited Holland as lots do on their vacations the Dutch kept telling them "Go Home!" I hope this starts happening to Brits holidaying in Europe it might make them realize there should be no room for this far right rhetoric in this country. |

Haven't read the thread but had this emailed to me.
The real issue is the confusion about Sovereignty. It is "The People" that are Sovereign. This is reflected in International Law, because the Laws of Nations are based on the Rights, Liberties, and Freedoms of the individual. Parliament is not "Sovereign". This is a very dangerous assumption, that infers no restraints or limits upon its power. Parliament does not have Divine Right. It is constrained, it is limited, therefore it cannot be "Sovereign" As Lord Acton said: “Limitation is essential to authority. A government is legitimate only if it is effectively limited.” That is what the Nuremberg Trials said too, when you think about it, because the argument that what Hitler and the Nazis did, was "legal" because they "didn't break the Law" is absolute hogwash. This is the assumption of Divine Right, the implementation of the lawless State, where "The Law is what 'we' say it is", and Government cannot simply create Law to suit whatever it wishes to do (something the EU today, is actually doing, and it is why every member Nation must get the heck out of the EU asap). This is what those so called "Judges" yesterday, were declaring - that Parliament is our Master, and NOT our SERVANT! It's a declaration that Parliament can do whatever the heck it likes! It is the exact same assumption, that we have fought Civil Wars over, executed a King over, had Revolutions over, had Uprisings over, and have fought tooth and nail, including in foreign wars, to oppose, because it is everything we have ever stood against as a Nation, for CENTURIES! Yet these dangerous imbeciles are attempting to slip it in via the back door of a COURT? Make no mistake, and I am being deadly serious in this, IF THIS NONSENSE STANDS, THEN IT IS A DECLARATION OF WAR ON THE BRITISH PEOPLE! . ------------------------------------------------ As posted in http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/11/04/brexit-shakespeare-dead-right-lawyers/ |

JD certainly has a way of putting things bigmo
"Face it, we Brexiteers have enjoyed more than four deliriously happy months bathing in bitter Remainer tears, feeding on their sorrow like misery-sucking vampires, relishing every moment of their denials, their tantrums, their toys-cast-from-prams. So it’s only natural that with the roles temporarily reversed, the Remaintards should seize their brief moment in the sun and begin crowing as if somehow those three lefty ponces in ermine (or whatever it is that left-wing High Court Judges wear: thongs? Gimp suits?) were now going to stop us exiting the EU." |

yes they view us as island monkeys. they once sent one to hartlepool and they killed ti thinking he was a black man |

the monkey was hanged because the locals thought it was a French spy, according to legend.
I'll hear nothing bad said about the wise people of Hartlepool - they led from the front with the Brexit vote. Every one a hero. |

prob best not to pay any attention to the likes of breitbart their ultra right wing agenda has no interest in "the people", it is only interested in creating civil unrest in the hope that dictatorship is imposed. |
