Today's news contains some stories that truly belong to the 'silly season'.
Firstly, news from Eire indicates that the Irish government is not at all happy about the prospect of Northern Ireland politicians having the final say in matters to do with the border question, post-Brexit. Hang on, when the final say rests with the EU and Eire, courtesy of the "Backstop" it's OK but they won't allow the reverse situation. Hypocritical or what !?
Then there's news from Scotland that a judge is to be asked to consider an entirely hypothetical issue regarding the potential imprisonment of the Prime Minister. It seems that fanatical Remainers now want a judgement regarding whether the PM could be forced to delay Brexit if a deal cannot be agreed and want to know what would happen if he did not.
It stands to reason that a further delay to Brexit could be enforced if Parliament so determines by the enactment of appropriate legislation; otherwise it cannot. Can a court really say anything else ? As for the matter of consequences in the event of an exit from the EU without a deal, that is a hypothetical question incapable of answer until after such an event and, even then, only with full knowledge of all the prevailing circumstances.
What sort of world is it when courts are asked to pass judgement on hypotheticals ? Why has this nonsense even been allowed to occupy court time ? It seems it's still desperation time for fanatical Remainers.
