Mister M   1,625 #157 Posted September 24, 2019 1 minute ago, Top Cats Hat said: Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sister Anastasia is now demanding that we know how the 11 Supreme Court judges voted in the 2016 referendum! 😵 The ruling may not have been ‘about Brexit’ but it sure has got Brexiteers in a fuming frenzy.  In other news, Dominic Cummings has spent the afternoon briefing against the Supreme Court judges but during a conference call between Johnson and senior cabinet colleagues several of them expressed strong disapproval of this tactic in light of the fact that Johnson was getting very little support this side of the Atlantic.  In international news, Donald Trump in New York this morning described Boris Johnson as ‘doing a very good job as Prime Minister for Britain. Before anyone calls Trump a deluded idiot, his comment isn’t because he’s misinformed it is because he neither knows nor cares how well Bozo is doing because it is of little interest to him now that he has had his state visit with the queen.  Those Brexiteers who that Trump will ride to the UK’s rescue in a post-Brexit world need to go and ask a grown up what ‘America First’ actually means. Seemingly it's not that difficult to get Brexiteers into a fuming frenzy. As for Anastasia, it doesn't surprise me that she came out with that guff. She's from the same stock as Jacob. Poor cow.

I knew that it was an old fashioned High Church name and toyed with Angelica before settling on Anastasia.  I’ve been working since 6am this morning and usually would have ‘fact checked’ that one.

That’s very true.  This whole Brexit Project has immensely strengthened the position of the EU and has made sure that no other member will be looking to leave any time soon.

A mainline British politician wilfully outing herself as an outright fascist.  What a look. And the world is watching. Yeah, Annunciata, the bane of the Establishment, the outlaw rebel standing up for the common man against the evil oppressors of the Oxbridge/Eton/Bullingdon elite.  Yep, that one.

tinfoilhat   11 #168 Posted September 25, 2019 And so it came to pass, the right wing press side with johnson. Its not even vaguely hidden, not even nuanced. The top 11 judges - all 11 - are wrong.  BBC News - Newspaper headlines: Johnson 'defiant' after 'damning' court ruling https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-49820055  As I said before, Johnson is going nowhere. In fact, on having a flutter on him winning the next election with a workable majority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
