Agreed. And now she has the gall to say the supreme court must be respected when she was instrumental in the law being broken and lying to their beloved Queen.

This morning Jeffrey Donaldson said the Irish Government should apologize because Supreme Court refused to extradite Patrick Ryan. Within hours Arlene tweets:

"We have always respected the principle of the separation of powers upon which our constitutional law is founded. Therefore the judgement of the Supreme Court has to be respected."

I guess such separation of powers doesn't exist in the Republic?  I know we are accustomed to partisan views in just about anything in Northern Ireland but surely some sense of irony is left buried deep inside these people?

f**king hell that was dramatic stuff in the HoC yesterday. Johnson's worse than I assumed he would be. A dangerous man is now an understatement.

He actually is dangerous because he has no beliefs or moral compass, save power for himself. He's a puppet, a marionette manipulated by the hands of Cummings / the ERG. Yesterday, for me he crossed the line from being a bumbling rather harmless moron to a loathsome vicious mountebank.

Interesting that Boris leans on references to the classics during his speeches. Something used to demonstrate his private education in which they are taught. It's a tactic he uses to make himself appear smarter than he actually is. It would be interesting to see how much of the details he would have to have referenced by a staffer before giving the speech, as I doubt he actually knows much of it at all. His "studied untidiness" is another very British upper class characteristic according to Eamonn Mallie.

He has never been a harmless moron. Always been a dangerous man.

He really showed his true obnoxious disgusting disgraceful self yesterday.

Had to look it up myself but very apt;

mountebank (n.)
"peripatetic quack; one who sells nostrums at fairs, etc.," in Johnson's words, "a doctor that mounts a bench in the market, and boasts his infallible remedies and cures;" 1570s, from Italian montambanco, contraction of monta in banco "quack, juggler," literally "mount on bench" (to be seen by crowd), from monta, imperative of montare "to mount" (see mount (v.)) + banco, variant of banca "bench," from a Germanic source (see bench (n.)). Figurative and extended senses, in reference to any impudent pretender or charlatan, are from 1580s. Related: Mountebankery.


Those galway lads are well educated.

Jo Swinson is making a no deal Brexit more and more plausible with every press conference, what a totally self absorbed individual, a liberal Democrat who is neither liberal or democratic.
