GordonS Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, coprolite said: I'm sure the queen's speech had something about trying to stop the judiciary over-ruling the government, for things like suspending parliament. Not that i watched the wizened old crone, i read a report, so that might not be exactly correct. No, you're right. Almost none of the laws defining the powers of the government are criminal laws. Literally the only way to enforce them is through judicial review. That's how the government was prevented from leaving the EU without the agreement of the people we actually elect - parliament - or from calling an election without the power to do so. It's how they've been prevented from illegally deporting people they don't want in the country. It's how Gurkhas got to settle in the UK. Without judicial review we don't have the rule of law, and they want to slash the power of courts to apply the law to them. You don't hear about this on the BBC because the government has hobbled them by installing its own people at the top and by threatening them with being, basically, abolished. No previous government has come close to interfering in the BBC like this. Gammons will support the erosion of democracy because they don't actually like democracy, they believe strong leaders are more important (and they know it's not going to be their lives damaged by it). There have always been leftie twats screaming "fascists!" at everything the government does, so I don't think the general public are aware of the extent to which the dangers are real now. But it is real. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBear Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sadly Democracy left the building long time ago, if it indeed was ever a real thing. Oligarchy the new democracy. Think there's a race on to whom becomes the first trillionaire. Only with government help do they get their way. Enslave the populous. Sully and silence them. Main Street has always been the biggest threat to the chattering classes and Boris is about to put an end to that. No coincidence the 1% grew exponentially much richer during Covid. I'll give Sturgeon her due, she's astute and savvy and a socialist, but just with the wrong party. If she fails to secure indy and I think she will, she becomes a busted flush. A failure and tbh a loss to the political class, because Scotland, far less Britain have never had such a dearth of political talent. Not a leader amongst them. Infested with immoral, self serving, incompetent corrupt b*****ds. Follow the money and therein lies the power. Nothing new there, just more obvious. There is much worse to come in the new world order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
