Just seen in the indipendent that lawyers are making a case to reverse the out decision... Watch the riots of this happens.

 

They thought the remain protest was bad. Wait till this happens

 

Also I'm disappointed Farage stepped down. I thought he'd of made a good PM.

They don't have a leg to stand on.

 

Article 50 hasn't been triggered yet.

 

There has been no debate.

 

The story isn't news and is just designed to stir up more crap.

 

And it became legally binding the minute David Cameron said of the vote is leave, article 50 will be invoked.

Nobody has taken me up on that bet yet ;)

They're not trying to reverse the Out decision. The lawyers want to make sure the proposal to trigger Article 50 is debated in parliament. The alternative is that the PM triggers it without having debated it in parliament first.

 

The lawyers' endgame is probably to prevent Brexit, but that's not what is currently being proposed by them, and their plan is hugely unlikely to get past the next stage.

 

IMO, it's a futile attempt. *Even* if it does force a debate in parliament, I don't think the MPs will be voting contrary to their constituents, do you? The constitutional crisis it would trigger would be worse than MPs (the majority of whom backed the In campaign, IIRC) voting against their personally-held beliefs by voting to trigger the Article.

 

For the lawyers (actually, the people who are paying them to pursue this), these things need to happen:

1) They successfully make the case that the PM doesn't have the authority to trigger Art 50 without having a debate first. This *might* happen.

2) A debate takes place

3) Several pro-EU MPs vote against their constituents' wishes. *** Hugely unlikely. ***

4) Art 50 is not triggered.... yet

I know the BBC is mistrusted by several on here, but it's the best site I've found that tries to explain in an easy-to-understand way. This is pretty much what I said below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-uk-leaves-the-eu-36703799

Al, I've got a very good idea what kind of data this dragnet will grab (senior engineer with an ISP, we took a good look at the draft to work out what we might be required to store). For example looking at a couple months worth of data I can tell with reasonable certainty what your political standpoint is on matters, what gender you are, your sexual orientation (well, taste in porn at least), any 'unusual' interests you might have and any recent medical conditions. And that data is being kept at the lowest possible cost (we're a commercial org afterall) with (I bet) the ability for me to prod about in there with very little in the way of oversight.

 

With a bit of stitching together I now also know everywhere you've been (your phone records tell us) with who (again, they probably have a phone) and why (looking back at any net traffic showing you looking up things at the location, calls made to people or businesses in the area, etc).

 

If you're curious, have a read of this.

It honestly scares me. I'd rather take the risk on terrorism, it's less dangerous in the long run.

 

Glad to see someone else on here gets it. Notice how whenever it is brought up people seem to ignore it?

Isn't all this data already available through a myriad of other sources, though? Your votes can be traced via your unique identifier on your polling card, your internet habits can be tracked via cookies an used for targettted advertising (thankfully oron sites don't seem to have cottoned on to this yet :) ), gender - pretty sure trying to hide that would be pointless. Wasn't the NHS medical database opened up to the highest bidder a few months ago? We willingly tag ourselves and our freinds in social media posts, or our apps do it for us, so our whereabouts generally are not difficult to trace. And phone records have been available as a tracking tool for years.

 

If anyone was really worried about people tracking their comings and goings online, we would all use Tor, shun social media, and never post anything in an open forum about what we were doing and when we were doing it.

 

I get were you are coming from, but I don't think for one second that any of this is new. Its just the increased efficiency that the data can potentially be gathered, and the fact that it is set against the backdrop of the general distrust / paranoia surrounding the gubberment.

This system has been around for a long time, incorrect analysis is the problem and I have extensive first hand experience of this.

 

In Poland, August 2000 at the exact moment of a total eclipse of the sun, I struck into a grass carp that turned out to be almost but not quite the World record. :)

 

Subsequently however, in 2003, a tax inspector found a photograph of me online holding this fish and I was wearing a T-shirt printed with the product name of a fishing bait, however, HMRC mistakenly assumed this to be a Company name. Consequently, their company search did not find a company, which resulted in them assuming that whilst I was managing my U.K. tax paid business in France with only a tent for an office, I was also covertly operating a bait company in the U.K. and owed them £ots of fictitious unpaid revenue. Without any warning, every single penny of my life's worth was seized from my French Bank account. Subsequently, representing myself, I have proven my case in court, not once but twice, however, these illegal covert activities are performed with political immunity, these "Fat Controllers" are above the law and simply refuse to accept the court judgement.

 

Prior to this example/case/personal-experience of 13-years so far and still continuing abuse of power, I was of the same mind as Chris, however, I have learned the hard way what a heinous "program" it is.

Upon reaching the age of political consent, my first ever vote was in favour of joining the common market. Free trade with Europe did and still does sound like a good proposition.

However, what it covertly metamorphosed to become, was certainly not what anyone voted in for and is why most of those old enough to remember the original deal voted no to the "reality".

The referendum only came about as a political tool as a tactic for re-election of political tool David Cameron, which by default, thankfully, the selfishness of this Tool gave us the chance to escape the covert Federal Dictatorship.

The key word in this matter is "Democracy", which is a concept that many in "power" have clearly demonstrated a total lack of comprehension, which unseen by their "privileged blindness" is continuing to undermine the battlements.

I bet you a pint their's a few eyebrow lifters to come yet.
