COMMENT:
TO THE great mass
of the fair-minded public, yesterday's ruling by three
High Court judges that Parliament should have a chance
to reconsider Brexit will have come as an
outrageous
betrayal of
DEMOCRACY
No matter which side of the referendum we supported, the
country is left with the profoundly disturbing
impression of three members of an out-of-touch clique,
prepared to countenance frustrating the clearly
expressed wishes of 17.4 million voters- more than
ever before voted for any party or proposition in our
country's history. to one side
Put to one side
that judges have time and again backed Europe against
the interests of the British people. The truth is that
this judgment plays fire, fanning the feeling-not just
in Britain and Europe, but also among Donald Trump's
supporters in America-that WESTERN public life is
becoming a CONSPIRACY of tightly knit, self-serving
Establishment elites against the PUBLIC.
True , the judges
protest that they are not concerned with the
RIGHTS and WRONGS
of
LEAVING THE EUROPEAN UNION
insisting:
'this is a pure question of law.'
And yes, this paper acknowledges that on a blinkered
reading of the statutes and such very few precedents as
exist (none of them applying exactly to the case), it is
possible to argue that the Government lacks the
authority to trigger
BREXIT
without the go-ahead of the Lords and Commons.
But from every
other viewpoint, the ruling flies in the face of
JUSTICE and
COMMON SENSE.
Wouldn't any
judge of real stature (the late Lord Denning springs to
mind) have picked a way through the dust-encrusted legal
textbooks to see the
WOOD FOR THE TREES
and come down on
the side of
REASON?.
Consider. For
decades, the mainstream parties had been riven by
internal splits over the question of our
E
U MEMBERSHIP.
So much so that,
with politicians unable to agree, David Cameron decided
to lance the boil by throwing the matter open to the
ELECTORATE [THE PEOPLE]
and letting the
matter open to the electorate and the letting
VOTERS
SETTLE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
But it wasn't his decision alone. Never let it be
forgotten that, by a thumping majority of six to one,
Government and Opposition MPs voted to back his call for
a referendum and give the
PUBLIC THE LAST WORD.
They did so
knowing that whatever the result might be, ministers
were determined to abide by it and act accordingly.
A
REMAIN VOTE WOULD MEAN REMAIN.
LEAVE VOTE WOULD MEAN LEAVE
At no stage in
the long campaign that followed did any serious figure
suggest the outcome would be merely advisory.
NOBODY TOLD THE ELECTORATE:
DON'T TAKE THIS VOTE TOO SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WE
WON'T NECCESSARILY ACT ON YOUR VIEWS...
- - -
...AS for the
alternatives, it may still be possible to force through
a Bill giving legal force to the referendum result
(something Mr Cameron shamefully failed to do when he
drafted the REFERENDUM BILLL).
But while the
Commons may be relied upon to support such a measure,
again it would have to jump the hurdle of the Lords.
To this, the Mail says very calmly that if the Lords
defy the
WILL OF THE PEOPLE
then maybe the PEOPLE should question whether we
need a SECOND CHAMBER.
The Remainers,
particularly Labour need to be careful what they wish
for. If the judiciary, the second chamber-with its
disgraceful rump of third-rate Lib Dem peers-the BBC and
Civil Service seel to frustrate the REFERENDUM RESULT,
Mrs May could have no alternative but to
CALL A GENERAL ELECTION.
MPs whose constituents
voted overwhelmingly for
BREXIT,
should bear one thing in mind.
The vote was distributed throughout the country in such
a way that if the LEAVE CAMPAIGN had been a POLITICAL
PARTY, it would have won a massive landslide of more
than
400 of the 650 seats
in the
COMMONS
The High Court yesterday BETRAYED COMMON SENSE AND THE
PEOPLE IT WOULD BE AN OUTRAGE IF THE POLITICIANS WERE
NOW TO DO THE SAME.

'Democracy passes
into Despotism.'
Plato
c428-347
Plato was a close friend of the Greek philosopher
Socrates and was away abroad when the Greek STATE
sentenced to DEATH the philosopher Socrates because they
falsely claimed that he was corrupting the young and
denying the Gods. He died by punishment of poisoning.
His many friends many of whom were in his cell on the
day of the execution pleaded with him to let them free
him and take him abroad for safety. But Socrates refused
to run and would rather stay and take his unjust
punishment. Those who were responsible for his death
sentence were themselves condemned to death for their
false witness as the people rose against their so-called
democracy to put power back into the hands of the
people. Today in the week of REMEMBRANCE in
November 2016 we are witness to another similar
situation where a great many of our so-called
representatives have refused to HEAR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE. It is the RIGHT of ENGLISHMEN under MAGNA
CARTA to rise against a threat to their
'RIGHTS and LIBERTIES
OF
ENGLISHMEN.
We would rather have had
a REVOLUTION than suffer the indignity of remaining
slaves of a
FOREIGN POWER and
particularly one that was responsible for TWO WORLD WARS
which resulting in the DEATHS and injuries of over
50/100 million people and the vast devastation of their
countries.
ADDED TO THIS ARE
ILLEGAL WARS THEREAFTER AS IN AFGHANISTAN-IRAQ-LIBYA AND
ELSEWHERE.
