The end of democracy

Today, leaders of the Privy Council met the Queen and she agreed to prorogue Parliament for some 25 days. An unprecidented amount in the modern political era.

This is not to allow a Queen's Speech, but to stop Parliamentary scrutiny.

Those who said, even those now in Cabinet, who said it could and would not happen and be an affront to democracy. Well, we await news of your resignations when you're ready.

This is a battle for the Constitution of the UK, and who rules. That the executive claim to be doing this in the name of people and the democracy, just don't care about either.

At least the sham is over, and plans can now be made to stop it happening, if that were possible. I rate their chances at somewhat less than 50/50.

As I said before, look at this in terms of the executive ruling with as little scrutiny as possible, then this and Brexit and its enabling bills make sense. The executive rule by diktat, just like the Politburo did.

Because that is where the country is now.

Once they have this power, they will not give it back.

There will be legal cases, there will be challenges in Parliament.

But time is very limited now, the executive have carried out a coup d'etat.

The privately educated, expensively colleged, career political and journalistic chances want it all, and they will not be poorer, for them taxes and unemployment are for the small people.

These will always be rich, and make sure their friends, former school and college chums, mostly male and white, will be alright too.

You were warned. Project fear we were told back. We told you.
