British high court ruling on Brexit

[Ditch]

The British people have spoken on the matter of the Brexit but the puppets of the high court have come up with some legal horseshit to frustrate the will of the people. This will put many MP's in an awkward position. Most of them are against a Brexit but the district system of election in the UK puts their ass directly on the line if they go against the will of their voters.

Brexit to require parliamentary approval in setback for Theresa May
Government to appeal to supreme court against judgment that MPs rather than government must trigger article 50

Yes, it essentially says that instead of the referendum meaning get out, they say it means there was a referendum asking parliament to vote on whether they should get out.

The establishment doesn't give up power easily. Maybe not at all.

It will take a lot more than placing your vote in a cabin every four years to get rid of this scum. The system of representative democracy is dead and the stench it emits becomes unbearable.

This shows that Democracy as direct people's vote does work.
This shows also that as long as people are able to present their cases, their different point of views on an important subject as it happened with the Brexit, people are able to make informed decisions. There was a real debate in the UK regarding the Brexit: it is really the British's voters decisions and their decision should be respected. After all, when Tony Blair brought Britain to war in Iraq, there was no vote and their parliament did not intervene.
In a certain way, may be if their Parliament does not respect the British's people vote, may be British people will be rioting against their "establishment". I never thought, before the poll tax, that British people do demonstrate, so all is possible.

This is what happens when you let them take your guns.

It seems you are trying to mix gun ownership issues with mass revolts.
If a government wants to deal with gun owners, they have enough power to do so.
What a government can not deal with is mass revolts, as those whose job is to "keep order" are also inclined to join those who revolts.
May be this is where, most gun owner "defenders" are wasting their time: defending their gun ownership, when what they should be doing is presenting their point of views, with verifiable facts and arguments.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

There was a vote in parliament I recall, and I remember well the British people not wanting Britain to get involved in Iraq , I was one of them, a million marched in London.

That evil lying POS blair was hell bent in taking Britain to war in Iraq,he's now rightly despised by the British public. Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was a lie to get there and Britain was always going to go into Iraq, British expert weapons inspector in Iraq Dr David Kelly leaked to the press that Iraq had no WMD's and was found dead in a field 2 days later.
