A rawther appropriate surname for that outfit.

British government has been granted the right to appeal, and it looks like this will go to the Supreme Court.

Isn't it a bit odd for the government to go to the max to avoid consulting parliament?

Can the appeals process still end up in the House of Lords?

Thereby possibly having a situation whereby the House of Lords may have to rule on whether or not they have the right to rule?

The UK Supreme Court replaced the House of Lords as the ultimate Court of Appeal in 2009.  The Brit Gov will appeal this decision to the Supreme Court, set for Dec 7th according to some courses.

European Court of Justice?

Lingering, unaddressed, in the background to this litigation is a question about whether an Article 50 notification is reversible. The High Court in reality proceeded on the assumption that a notification, once given, could not be withdrawn. But the Supreme Court has a different legal obligation and it might feel legally compelled to address that assumption directly.
Addressing it would require a politically explosive referral to the European Court in Luxembourg – the question whether a notification is reversible is one of European law – with a likely delay of around three months.And a finding by the Supreme Court that an Article 50 notification could be 'pulled' would leave ajar the door to a prospectively damaging continuation of the Referendum campaign until such time, if any, as our exit is formalised.

Didn't know that.

Looking at Wiki, it seems almost all of the members are form the House of Lords anyway?

Nesbit on saying the government can count on the UUP in any vote, they really never learn.  The will of the people - the will of 38% of the people.

As usual the UU have lost the plot. Will Sylvia Hermon vote for something the people of North Down and the people of NI rejected?

Anyhow on a lighter note, Boris is said to have made the following comment at the Spectator awards last night.
"Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a titanic success of it."

That's irrelevant. The vote was for UK as a whole. NI said stay. Don't matter, as UK said leave. End of story.

"Parliament voted to give the people of the United Kingdom the opportunity to vote in a straight in/out referendum. 
"On the June 23 the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union and on that basis, should the appeal be unsuccessful, our MPs will vote to trigger Article 50."

The referendum was badly structured cos Cameron thought he would walk it. It was designed to unite the Tories, not unleash chaos

If the south were serious about a united Ireland then this is the time for action. UK leave the EU give them a couple of years to stew in what has happened meanwhile the south with the backing of other EU states go in to claim back the north. The UN come in to keep the peace for a few years until the unionist realise they are better of in a untied Ireland.

If the Irish government had any balls they would be looking at this.

If it looks like a very tight vote, should the Shinners make an appearance? 

[imtommygunn]

I was thinking exactly that muppet lol.

Are you taking the piss?  I presume you don't live in "The North"/ wee 6 / NI.

Over on the Garda thread someone said salaries are back to 2008 levels. In the UK they are down by 10% in real terms. The UK has higher inflation and no growth driver. The price of the union might be 20%  of income in a few years. A large part of Unionist identity is built around economic superiority. Taigs value education more than Brits do.  It is going to get very interesting.
