So to sum up Ms Millar's sole reason for her and the Pimlico plumber et als action was to frustrate the outcome of a Democratic vote which she/they disagreed with.
In the process wasting our money why do you persist in trying to paint black as white its pointless ?
You got it wrong why not just admit it and move on ?
Her own words point clearly to her reasons for starting the action which she won I don't deny it but it was a pointless Pyrrhic victory and joins the many other actions to try and disrupt democracy through the house of commons.
The Lib Dum rump in the Lords will no doubt try to disrupt the process as well.
They have have campaigned on many issues one wonders what irrelevance will be dragged up to go to their motive
I don't blame her/them for having a go if she/they feel so strongly about leaving the EU.
Pointing out that she has also bought the big issue and said some people get paid to much etc doesn't really go to the motive question for this action does it ?
Do you realise that by your accusation that she was motivated politically, you are are implying that the High Court judges (verdict 8 to 3 which is a heck of a lot higher percentage than the Brexit referendum result!) are therefore politically motivated against this Tory government?
- Historically there might have been a grain of truth in the opposite, but Appeal Court Judges opposing a Tory government for political reasons?
It's academic but it's you who should admit it - you're wrong (not LK) - by 8:3 the judges agreed that no PM has the right to take such action without parliamentary approval - we don't have the Executive Order option in this country, yet!
Ms Miller and others paid their own real money to go to court.
Mrs May used ours on a diversionary tactic giving a nice little earner to the legal eagles. Personally, I think you should be more indignant at the flagrant waste of taxpayers money on the appeal which left the government having to do what they should have done in the first place!
As I posted earlier, I feel sure she was told she would lose - if she wasn't she needs to get shot and replace her legal advisers very quickly - there will be a huge amount of European legal matters to deal with and if this is an example of the advice she receives then we're in dead trouble!
