Johnson tells parliament: You can tie my hands, but I will not delay Brexit

Go Boris! I hope the electorate deals later with the Remainer traitors. What a disgusing bunch of corrupt EU brown nosers.

What do you mean? How are Remainers "traitors"? How should they be dealt with?

wtfjapan - agreed, now if Boris will just follow the laws of the UK and negotiate a deal with the EU since the law now states a no deal Brexit is illegal. got to love democracy, well at least when it works in your favor , right!?

Will any deal ever be acceptable to the "remainers" in Parliament? They've spent three years not agreeing to any of the deals presented to them. Now they appear to using the "no to no-deal exit" as their reason to remain in the E.U..

In order to end Parliament's gridlock, G.B. needs to either have another referendum to clarify the issue, have a third election (since the stay/go referendum) to restock Parliament with elected representatives who will represent their own constituents, or both.

Go Boris! I hope the electorate deals later with the Remainer traitors. What a disgusing bunch of corrupt EU brown nosers.

Welcome to democracy.

Parliament is in gridlock. I see several ways to end that gridlock.  A) Hold another referendum, and demand that Parliament abide by the results. Set a time limit IF the majority votes to leave. Hope that legislators provide a plan to leave, but demand that G.B. leave by the required date regardless.  B) Hold another election. See how many constituents retain their elected reps. Select a PM. And allow the will of the people to rule.

Alfie Noakes - The 2016 referendum was fraudulent and the charlatan Johnson is now British PM thanks to the 100,000 white, over 65, rich, racist, xenophobic, home counties resident Tory party members who voted for him in the Conservative election. That's not democracy.

LOL. Are you actually claiming that G.B. isn't a democracy? Are you claiming that white people should not be allowed to vote? In their own country? How rich does someone have to be before you disallow their right to vote?

zichi - The very small majority of the 2016 referendum voted to leave,

Welcome to democracy.

However, your whole framework is based on being against something

”You just don’t like Boris because you’re anti-crime!”

Uh, yeah. You got me, I’m not a big fan of politicians openly committing crimes. Don’t like Boris. Don't like a Trump. If you’re pro-criminality, that’s an understand position to hold. Dunno how far it would get you, though.

I am getting excited about leaving with no deal! Are you excited?

Frivolous and childish.

I’m more concerned about people’s livelihoods. Excitement isn’t a word I’d use.

The idea of the UK leaving without a deal with the Tories and Johnson in charge is terrifying. These animals off the leash will rip the spines out of the less well-off.

And for all of the silly people getting into a tizz about food shortages and medicine running out, please actually listen to custom experts:

Was it binding?

No, but the no No Deal legislation passed last week is.

Boris Johnson delivering?

What the hell are people reading or watching?

There was a referendum held

Was it binding?

@serranoStay in the EU and take it up the ass.

Another example of the global alt right's homophobia. No wonder they support Putin.

Britain has three options.

Stay in the EU and take it up the ass.

Leave with a deal ( whatever deal can be made with the EU is bad ) and take it up the ass.

Or leave and stop taking it up the ass.

Now he's openly threatening to illegally take the UK out of the EU.

Illegally according to who? There was a referendum held 3 years ago. The result was "take the U.K. out of the EU."

One of the world's biggest economies being engulfed in chaos while food runs out and medicine disappears is good, actually.

You forgot that Romania will also declare war on the UK.

Oar da! Oar da!

More like Ordure! Ordure!

Tangerine2000: One of the world's biggest economies being engulfed in chaos while food runs out and medicine disappears is good, actually.

Told that Dominic Cummings told a meeting on Friday that the people who are cross about his tactics “will melt” when they learn of what he has planned in coming weeks. We’re in the foothills of the chaos.

The Leave side of the referendum campaign appeared to appeal to the people for whom the British Empire still existed, who were still fighting WW2, or who just didn't like foreigners. Then you had people who felt that somehow freedom of movement had made school places hard to find, housing too expensive, or blamed it on whatever gripe they had that day. People need someone or something to blame for their perceived ills... in this case 'Johnny Foreigner'.

The general public have no involvement with the EU. Nothing the EU has done has impacted your average man (or woman) in the street in a negative manner.

France has helped Johnson by saying they'll not negotiate and EU needs to vote on it as a bloc so that's a done no-deal no matter what Parliament wants, whatever that is

The Washington Post has a report saying France will agree to an extension as long as it's a long one, about 2 years. Which makes sense because you can't sort out a deal as complex as Brexit in a couple of months.

Best PM in a long time, delivering on what a majority of the UK electorate voted for.

Tee hee. Johnson couldn't deliver a pizza. He has a 100% record in the Commons - all loses.

Best PM in a long time, delivering on what a majority of the UK electorate voted for. 

He hasn't delivered anything. He's lost every vote he's had as PM. He's suffered more defeats in one week than Brown had in three years, Blair had in ten years, or Thatcher had in 11 years.

Now he's openly threatening to illegally take the UK out of the EU.

The next few days will decide if the UK is a nation ruled by law or by dictator.

Best PM in a long time,

PM not elected by the people , trying to force through a mandate that wasnt voted for by the people of the UK (no-deal Brexit) and willingly breaking the laws of the UK even after hes said hed respect those laws. democracies great unless decisions dont go your way hey!

My money still on leaving with No Deal. And Tories (or Tory Brexit Party coalition) winning the election. Electorate watching the last shambolic 2 or 3 years will get rid of many of these jokers.

The main jokers being the ones who managed to con a majority of people who read The Sun and watch Britain's Got Talent into voting for something they had no idea how to deliver. Take Johnson and Gove, for instance. Instead of stepping up to get Brexit through Parliament after Cameron walked away from the mess he'd made, Gove stabbed Johnson in the back, Johnson chickened out of the leadership election and allowed a Remainer became PM.

Oar da! Oar da!

France has helped Johnson by saying they'll not negotiate and EU needs to vote on it as a bloc so that's a done no-deal no matter what Parliament wants, whatever that is

Tokyo-m, spot on! Each and every day tgat Corbyn holds Brexit up, he is proving more and more he is neglecting the people of Britain and instead place his loyalties with the unelected capitalist guns for hire in Brussel. Traitor.

"... just leave w/o a deal and see what happens."

Some just don't get it; they're usually Brexiteers, for some strange reasons.

"UK Queen approves law blocking no-deal Brexit"

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/09/uk-queen-approves-law-blocking-no-deal-brexit-190909173704966.html

... just leave w/o a deal and see what happens.

A suggestion from the “What happens if I press this red button?” school of politics.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson could martyr his Premiership, on the altar of whatever politically the electorate believe in, Parliamentary political imbalances or otherwise

Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid could be pivotal to/for future negotiation with the European Union especially over the financial settlement.

An element that will decide future Detente, a verbalism long best forgotten from futures past could be requisite

It will be left to the adults in the room to clean up the ensuing mess.

Sounds remarkably like the situation across the pond.

@Alfie Noakes : Democracy sucks, eh?!

Johnson is a reckless bomb-thrower. Now, after alienating everyone, he is scrambling to cobble together some jury-rigged deal that will be crap. It will be left to the adults in the room to clean up the ensuing mess.

@Alfie Noakes : Democracy sucks, eh?!

Finally someone with brains and integrity.

Integrity? Boris Johnson?

Nope.

Best PM in a long time,

+1 for me. Finally someone with brains and integrity. Mrs May might have the brains but the dealing and wheeling shows her integrity towards the people was questionable.

Those calling for the documents to be published say they will show that the decision to suspend parliament was politically motivated, as a way to limit parliamentary discussion on Brexit. The government said the suspension was to give Johnson the chance to set out a new legislative agenda.

Parliament has had three years to discuss Brexit-it has failed.

Johnson is on course to end this impasse next month...

Best PM in a long time, delivering on what a majority of the UK electorate voted for. Just get a couple of sympathetic EU countries to veto any extension, Boris! That way, we're out on October 31st NO DEAL!

The elites are trying to thwart the people’s intentions when they voted to leave the EU.

51.9% in favor of leaving/48.1% against leaving, so in effect you are trying to say that nearly HALF the people who voted to stay within the EU are elites?

Up until now, in my entire life, I have yet to meet a single "elitist" person from GB. I never knew GB was so stuck up? (Percentage wise that is!)

All hell, just leave w/o a deal and see what happens. I'm sick and tired of hearing about this.

Then that should have been part of the referendum. It wasn't, where was Corbyn then? Oh year, he was busy being anti EU, labelling it a capitalist club, he was busy calling Hamas and Hezbollah friends, and dissing his own leaders for being on the right side of politics etc.

Yawn.

More Corbyn smearing from the sock puppet troll army.

"Israel secretly operates a troll army of thousands, partly funded by a government department. The Ministry of Strategic Affairs is dedicated to a global “war” against BDS, the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights."

"In August last year, Act.IL ran a campaign directing its troll army to make and promote comments online against the British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of anti-Semitism. This meddling in British democracy came during the height of summer 2018’s media hysteria about a supposed “crisis” of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party."

Corporations own the UK Left

An interesting comment. Perhaps you could explain which corporations own "the UK Left," as you call it.

The debate isn't about leaving or not, it's about leaving with a deal or without a deal

Then that should have been part of the referendum. It wasn't, where was Corbyn then? Oh year, he was busy being anti EU, labelling it a capitalist club, he was busy calling Hamas and Hezbollah friends, and dissing his own leaders for being on the right side of politics etc.

You can't trust a jelly fish like Corbyn, no backbone and stings on contact.

The debate isn't about leaving or not, it's about leaving with a deal or without a deal.

The elites are trying to thwart the people’s intentions when they voted to leave the EU. Corporations own the UK Left and a good chunk of the right as well. Democracy dies in the darkness of the ruling class.
