More enemies of the people

This morning, one of the daily newspapers published a statement from an un-named source within "Number 10", that:

"Remainic Lawyers now demand Scottish Judges take over the role of elected politicians and cancel Brexit. Hopefully Judges will reflect deeply on the profound consequences for the Judiciary if they are seen by the public trying to cancel the biggest democratic vote in our history."

Judges make judgements based on the law and president. Politicians make laws for the land and Judges to follow.

It is that simple.

Judges are not trying to thwart Brexit, just to ensure the laws of the land and the individual countries of the Union are followed.

The Government, or a spokesperson for it, threatening the Justice system to back the Government, let us not forget, that has already suspended Parliament, is not a good look, or a good sign. I mean, what's next, suspending the Supreme Court?

Is that where we are?

I think we should all agree, whichever side of the Brexit fence we sit, that breaking the law, suspending democracy and threatening Judges is a fundamentally bad thing, and as a country we should all row back from that.

If Brexit were such a good idea, it would not need the above, nor a £6 billion slush fund, or emergency planning, air lifts for drugs, food and whatever.

All Government policy needs oversight and scrutiny, and the Government should welcome that, its a sign of a working democracy.

A Government that wants to re-balance the nation's economy and trading position in the world, and do so in complete silence from public and Parliamentary scrutiny should have us all worried.

It might be Brexit now, but a new leader might be more extreme, suspending Parliament to stop scrutiny, votes, passing of acts or votes of no confidence. That no Prime Minister or Minister would deny that if the Government loses the Appeal Court case, it wouldn't try to prorogue Parliament again, putting the Monarch in a very difficult situation, asking her to suspend Parliament to get round Parliamentary scrutiny.
