Legal Insurrection: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to push for a no-deal Brexit suffered a setback today after the country’s parliament passed a bill to delay the Brexit beyond October 31. The motion was voted by 327 votes to 299, giving it a majority of 28 in the Lower House. The bill has now moved to the Upper House.
The Members of Parliament (MPs) opposed to no-deal Brexit are running against time. The bill will require approval of the Parliament’s Upper House, the House of Lords. If Lords pass any amendments, the bill will again return to the Lower House for a vote. The “pro-Brexit peers have tabled over 100 amendments to try and filibuster the motion and stop the bill going ahead,” BBC confirmed. To make matters even worse for the pro-EU lawmakers, Prime Minister Johnson has suspended the parliament for five weeks beginning next week. The parliament will reconvene on October 14, two weeks ahead of the October 31 deadline.
Prime Minister Johnson refused to resign in wake of today’s vote. He, however, reiterated the call for a snap election, a move opposed by the opposition Labour party. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn wants the no-deal option off the table before considering the prospect of facing the electorates. more here

peoplepeasantsfunny how human history repeats …. century after century
Trump has met with the same resistance since he was sworn-in. Boris should ask him for some pointers, Q-style.
Hey, fuck the people who voted us in. We’re in charge here. Oh, and let’s take their means of self defence away from them while we’re at it.
What do you mean nobody helps when a police officer is getting the shit beat out of him (or her)?
Just two words for the Brexit supporters.
Hong Kong.
Deep State in GB too.
What would the world look like if Trump hadnt won? I hate to think of it. Trump inspired all these other countries Brazil, GB, Australia hungary and more. We would be in a world of hurt or fast heading there.
Subjects are for subjugating!
