TW3

It is easy in the fog of Brexit to forget was has happened this week.

Irrespective of what Johnson, his Government and supports in the press might say, the Highest court in the Land said he, and the three senior members of the Privy Council, and Lord Chancellor acted unlawfully.

In the RAF, ignorance was no excuse, if you broke some obscure clause in the Queen's Regulation (QRs) you were open to be charged.

The Lord Chancellor has sworn an oath to uphold the law. He broke that oath.

His judgement may have been wrong, but he should have known. In fact, his full judgement has not been released. So, maybe he did know the law and let the Government do it any way.

There is no appeal to the judgement, that is it, the top court, guilty.

Thing is, it could have been avoided. Simply. If Johnson, Rees-Mogg, the Lord Chancellor or any senior civil servants just signed a sworn statement that the events as described were true, then the litigants case would have collapsed.

But no one would sign it. Not even the Moggster or the PM.

That is very significant.

If someone had signed it, and it turned out that wasn't the truth after all, the person who signed could be charged with perjury.

Even at the Supreme Court, had the Government's side been supplied with a statement signed by Johnson, the case would have collapsed. So, a smoking gun.

And the Lord Chancellor has sworn to uplhold the law, and support the Judiciary, not make public statements that he disagreed with the judgement.

But he is the latest in a line of crap Lord Chancellors dating back to, oh, Chris Grayling.

And the noise you have heard since then, the tone of the language, the nose about negotiations and deals, even though there is none, is to take the attention away from the Supreme Court Judgement. Because, at the end of the day, no one, not even the Government, not even the Lord Chancellor, not the Leader of the House, the Chief Whips of either Houses, not the fucking Prime Minister is above the law, and all of them should resign, and if they have not, you should be screaming at them asking one question: why have you not resigned? You lied to the Country, Parliament and The Queen, why have you not resigned?

Oh and remember that Dominic Cummings, the "mastermind" behind Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson, described Brexiteers in the ERG as: "You should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic.”
