From my last Brexit post, Brexit was always a stupid idea, but getting idiots to execute it was always doomed to fail.

Now that Brexit is getting near to reality again, their bold claims are falling by the wayside

The latest weeze is to use emergency powers in a 2004 bill to override Parliament.

But they haven't read the act.

Or if they did, they didn't understand it.

David Allan Green wrote a multu tween chain last night explaining why it is a foolish thing to do to try to use that act, as the emergencies are so well defined in it. Even to the point that if an emergency was declared under the act, and Parliament was prorogued, then the Queen would have to recall Parliament in 5 days.

I mean, these people are morons.

But, one day they will find a way to drive this madness through, trampling on the twitching corpse of the UK constitution. Or:

“One plan would see PM send accompanying letter alongside request to extend Article 50 setting out Government does not want any delay after Oct 31.” DTel, tonight. Statutory Purpose of request letter is to get extension. To seek to destroy statutory purpose is to break law.

See, they're fucking morons.
