Brexit -am I stupid or what

Well, I think we have all done extremely well, and my hat off to all that have taken part in this controversial and sensitive thread by keeping it on track and as amicablely as possible. But, I do think personal accusations should not be on this thread either against Admin or any member of the GC Gang. Let me make it clear, Redwing, GC Admin have the right to post and take part in threads, however controversial, as ordinary members and express their opinion as all members, including yourself, do. I think you are in the belief that any ordinary post by any member of Admin cannot be treated as posted by an ordinary member. The day that actually happens I will gladly resign knowing that I and the rest of Admin failed to keep our duty of being Admin and that of being an ordinary member separate.
Views by all participants on this thread can be forceful and passionate but not taking the form of bullying or overbearing to my knowledge and there has been forceful opinions been displayed on both sides of the argument but nobody but your good self has expressed accusations of bullying or bias by Admin. All who have taken part in this thread are biased, including yourself, in some form or another but all, including all members of Admin have posted as part of the GC Gang wanting to express their own personal opinions/bias/feelings.

But surely posts on this thread are not meant to be neutral? I have pointed out many times that Admin are entitled to taking off their Admin coat to enjoy being in the GC Gang, being able to take part as ordinary members, take criticism, being teased, insulted, etc and to do so without being regarded as Admin, why should we have to stand back in the distance and act only in official capacity? If I or any other member of the Admin team thought for a second that they could not separate being an Adminstrator and as an ordinary member of GC and then being neutral when dealing with any problem I/they would resign, if not asked to by the rest of the Admin team.
You made the complaint in this thread that Admin were being too lenient by allowing members to make indirect "language" such as PITA, etc, yet within days you posted direct foul language even after an explanation as to why we allowed "indirect" language.......you cannot have it both ways.
I would like this Thread to continue as it has, walking the fine line of frustation, anger, reason and humour and I hope it will do so despite your accusations against Admin.
I would ask you that, if it is your opinion, that bullying or overstepping of any member of the Admin Team, including myself, is that you trust in the neutrality of GC Admin when taking decisions regarding complaints and report those individuals. If you cannot bring yourself to make those complaints officially then I apologize to you, and all our members of this fantastic, friendly Forum for failing to gain your belief and trust in GC Admin's sense of duty and neutrality

 

Well, it is posh poo, noisette

 

The problem there @NigelJ is that passing the deal as it stands would then see it enacted in law, complete with the backstop that locks us in to the EU for eternity, without being a full member - and there would be nothing we could do to get out of it.

The other point is that, as has been mentioned on TV this morning, we don't have a written constitution in this country - so how can Boris have broken a law when it hasn't been written yet? The Supreme Court themselves made it clear that their judgement on this case would be an exception and should not be used to create a precedent - only, creating that precedent is unavoidable, as that is what our laws thrive and grow from; furthermore, the fact that they made that statement suggests to me that they have stepped over their remit.

The fact remains that the prorogation of parliament was made by the PM, on advice from his highest legal counsel, and given Her Majesty's assent. The only reason that it ended up in court was because the "elites" in this country had the money to be able to get it there. It has proved exactly what many people thought - if the little people don't vote the "correct" way, we will shout and scream and throw money at it until we get the answer we want. Much of this leads back to Soros funding, although considerable digging has to be done to find those sources - even Mr Steve Bray (or Dave Allen as his real name is) is paid £80 a day to stand and shout his "Stop Brexit" messages. Gina Miller - completely unelected, but here she is in the middle of our politics. It stinks worse than a sewerage farm.

We are in dark and dangerous times, and there is a growing swell for direct action of some sort or other - the largest I am seeing discussed is for this coming Saturday, being referred to as operation Zulu.

@CanadianLori - nobody can have two accounts as that is against the rules, and we are not above the rules (hence me reporting myself yesterday, following what was quite a serious allegation). I joined as a member, and remain a member - if I can not post as a member, then there is no point in me being here and giving my free time to do stuff under the bonnet.

 

PMQ's will be a shambles today... Lets make a drinking game of it - every time someone shouts 'Resign!' you have a drink..

 

Thanks @CanadianLori for your post

 

It will be even more difficult as his plane isn't due to land until 11 a.m.!
