  • Brexit just got 'sinister', EU politicians say

    British MP's are freaked...

    Senior EU figures and many British MPs have attacked UK prime minister Boris Johnson after he announced plans to suspend parliament for the sake of Brexit.

    The Queen's Speech, the formal opening of a new session, ought to take place on 14 October, he said on Wednesday (28 August).
    That meant parliament would be in shutdown on Brexit day on 31 October and that MPs could not block a no deal crash-out.

    It also meant opposition MPs had just a few days in September to mount a challenge to the plan and it pushed the UK deeper into a constitutional crisis

    Johnson's move was "sinister", the European Parliament's Brexit point man, MEP Guy Verhofstadt, said when the news broke.

    "As a fellow parliamentarian, my solidarity with those fighting for their voices to be heard. Suppressing debate on profound choices is unlikely to help deliver a stable future EU-UK relationship," the Belgian politician tweeted.
    Nathalie Loiseau, a French MEP close to French president Emmanuel Macron, said: "We could see a no-deal Brexit coming. Now it is a Brexit without debate that looms. What disease does British democracy suffer from that it fears debate before making one of the most important decisions in its history?".

      Issachar
      The church is on Earth to save souls from a lost world, not to save the world from lost souls.

      Man learns about history, not from history. To learn from history requires wisdom. Cut off from God, he has none, so history repeats; no new thing under the sun.

      I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken - dylan

      Psalms 122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
