Boris is desperate clearly...does anyone know why? Leaving Europe, do or die are words of desperation. Creating lots of new peers to get his way through parliament is not only undemocratic, it’s desperate. Why?
He took on his present job of PM in order to try to force this measure through Parliament. He seems to be capable of going ahead with his threat of making enough new peers to get the legislation through . Come on Conservatives! Are you just going to allow him to do this?
The next few days are going to be riveting but very very dangerous. We are a democracy. People have to vote for things to happen and you can’t just put another dozen in the House of Lords to get your own way! It is like watching a baby screaming for a toy...and banging his fist down if he’s denied it...but this is still a democracy...we all count...and by attempting to by pass all the safequards put in place in the past Boris is behaving like a monarch with power...not a PM who can’t maintain the votes of his own party!
This is serious stuff! And where is the opposition! Who is facing this man down? Boris is being egged on by Trump of all,people...but surely someone in his own party can talk him into behaving like a grown up... instead he is being talked up by Nigel Farage who wants an election and has people in the wings ready to stand he tells us.
What a mess! The referendum far from resolving a problem has given us all a headache . All these anxious politicians torn by those who want to stay and those desperate to leave Europe are now becoming a laughing stock...please go back to the country...see what we all now want..And then act upon it.

I can't say that I am surprised by the PM making the decision to Prolouge Parliament, it has been signalled widely, although denied consistently.
This course of action despite denials, is clearly designed to close down debate and to remove the democratic right of all MP's to vote and to decide.
It does appear that forcing a general election, which could happen, to could lead to Brexit by default, and no deal at all. This seems to point towards some sort of right wing, populist coalition between Mr Johnson and Mr Farage, I despair on how parliament is conducting itself and our leaders (not with a mandate) are trying to subvert democracy.
Yes, the country voted to leave by a small majority, but most who voted leave, believed that a negotiated deal would protect jobs and the UK institutions like the NHS, but a no deal scenario wasn't on their radar at the time.
Perhaps I am naive in politics, but I can't remember any time in my life, where politics have been so high up in the mind of most people. You must have been living in a bubble if you haven't realised how risky the decisions being made, supposedly in our best interests are?
Now we wait on the sidelines while legal proceedings start, while groups of MP's get together to try to hold a separate debate outside parliament, while others in opposition talk of bringing the government down, provoking a general election.
Exciting times? I don't thinks so!
Worrying times? I do think so.
More prayers for commonsense and consensus are needed.
And waiting int the wings is the Spectre of President Trump, waiting to get his hands on the Crown Jewels of British Institutions.
