I don't think that's been given as a reason for no witness statements though.
If the Govts case is that this is a matter of High Politics and not a matter for the courts, the argument could be that not supplying a statement is in keeping with that position?I don't think that's been given as a reason for no witness statements though.

The irony 
You don't see Brexiteers marching and spouting bile at JCJ or Tusk do you?
I guess you haven't seen the Brexit Party MEP's at work then.You don't see Brexiteers marching and spouting bile at JCJ or Tusk do you?
Completely different and you know it, stop being an idiot for once.

True, and I guess we'll find out the view the courts take in due time.What a state of affairs.

I haven’t got a lot of sympathy with the MP’s or their lawyers fighting this prorogation because I think they are being completely two faced about it
When May got her extension in March the first thing Parliament did was go on holiday to the incredulity of those in the rest of the E.U.
After their two and a half weeks off in April they then went on holiday for another three weeks in May, then had two and a half months off for the summer
I heard no clamour to recall Parliament.. I didn’t see Gina Millar in court trying to get them back
And I hear no clamours to cancel the party conferences
Yet, there is total outrage that Boris added a few days
Total hypocrisy
Indeed, strange that?When May got her extension in March the first thing Parliament did was go on holiday to the incredulity of those in the rest of the E.U.

Seriously?Completely different and you know it, stop being an idiot for once.
After Sundays escapade you are the last person that should accuse anyone of being an idiot.
I was right!
I sat back and laughed at you idiots throwing smiles and scorn about, but not one of you disproved me ?
I do believe your best answer was 'It isn't'

200m would likely put them in the Thames.
Did you not see the pictures yesterday, the protesters in Luxembourg were about 10m away the other side of a fence. Or maybe they have very long arms.

In which case you may find that disappointment awaits you

? it confirms exactly what I said, that those who voted leave and WON the referendum strongly support no deal and their will should be upheld.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49551893
also this is just a random selection of polls, the european elections whereby the brexit party won by a huge margin vs the others with their strong no deal philisophy.

If Boris Johnson is unable to make changes to the Withdrawal Agreement that enables it to pass the House of Commons before October 31, what should he do?
Go ahead with Brexit on October 31 even if it means leaving with ‘no deal 42%
Delay Brexit until we can negotiate a deal that can pass the House of Commons 16%
Cancel Brexit and decide to remain in the European Union after all 28%
Don’t know / not sure 14%

Let us be completely clear about why we are still in the EU. Hardcore leave MP's decided not to support May's deal. They were the ones that ended up killing it. Now astonishingly, this means we are in this situation where we remainers have no choice but to fight hard to stop the stupidity of a no-deal.
You're not being 'completely clear', you're spinning it so fast it might start sounding like Pete Burns.The deal was rejected by the largest majority seen in decades and by both cross party and cross Brexit groups. Leavers (hardcore and soft), Remainers, Labour, Conservative, the lot - they all rejected it.
You complained earlier about another poster only blaming one group - and then go on to do exactly that in spades.
You also fail to acknowledge why the deal was rejected. That's kinda important.

Never forget that many of us who voted to remain (such as myself) didn't vote to remain out of love for the EU (which sounds like you and I are in the same boat), but because it was obvious that it would be a mess as our Government was so incompetent. Something that has been proved time and time again.
Except when the Government replaces its PM and the majority of the Cabinet, you are keen to stop them from doing a single thing before you can even assess if they're competent or not? Presumed guilty from the start, or just incapable of accepting Brexit?Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
