It is Parliament that runs Britain, not Boris Johnson and his cronies.

"Who runs this country?'

I rarely use the Mail (or Fail) as a source, but today they scream an hysterical and outrageous (again) headline, "Who runs this country?': Boris Johnson's allies blast 'constitutional coup'.

Well DMG Media, Daily Mail and General Trust and editor Geordie Greig, the answer is a simple one. For the benefit of the tendentious employees and owners of this rag, and the mindless individuals who actually read this prime example of gutter press. (including "Boris Johnson's allies"),  the Supreme Court have upheld the centuries old reality, that it is the House of Commons and Parliament that runs the country. It is not the Executive or even the Prime Minister, but Parliament. What happened yesterday was not a 'constitutional coup' but a statement of fact, confirming that the Executive is answerable to the law and cannot  close down the Parliamentary process at the whim of the Prime Minister.

This outcome may be unpalatable to some, particularly the Prime Minister and many of the executive and certainly to the Mail and other rags of that ilk, but it is the reality.

We must never allow the excesses of the executive to usurp the people of this country as expressed in the House of Commons and Parliamentary democracy.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to
