Boris Johnson’s Parliament Suspension Is Being Very Inaccurately Reported

in #politics5 years ago (edited)

The media spin on this story is (purposely) very difficult to follow. Here is the simple fact: Boris Johnson has legally suspended parliament. This went into effect on Tuesday. It is to be in effect until October 14.

Here is some of the misinformation. A Scottish judge called it unlawful. That does not mean it’s illegal. It’s only the arbitrary opinion of a judge, not written in stone. People are claiming that the Queen may have not fully understood the process. This is almost certainly false beside she is advised by many expert constitutional advisors.

No matter how many news outlets cry and scream terrible insults and lies about Boris, remember that the British people’s will is to leave the EU. Boris is only trying to do the will of the people, as any honest politician should.

Sort:  

0% of the UK voted for a no deal brexit.
Yellowhammer reports show that no deal will cause food and medicine shortages.
The NHS will be dismantled.

You're either lying, or pretending to be a "journalist" by parroting 1% propaganda.

Also why doesnt boris join with nigel? Right, power and greed.

Downvoted for misinformation.

First of all I’m impressed that you as an American are following foreign politics as closely as you are. Unfortunately you seem very triggered by reading anything even remotely positive about Boris Johnson. I also see that you are easily manipulated by scare tactics. I’m Canadian and a relative expert on healthcare, insurance and pharmaceutical prices. The NHS has huge flaws. You as a communist surely disagree, but that’s the point of political discussions. The (artificially overpriced) medicine that you referenced and (laughably inaccurate) fear mongering about food shortages is very difficult to comprehend if one knows anything about economics.

As a side note, Brexit would be great news for Americans and Canadians in terms of trade but I digress.

I’ll make it a very simple lesson for you: you downvoted a comment that you disagree with. That’s you exercising your freedom. That’s a right that you have. It’s so obvious that it’s needless for me to point out...
That’s what is so frustrating about how the media is covering Mr. Johnson. The people of the UK voted to leave in June 2016. They exercised their freedom in doing so, just like you did. It is 2019 and they still haven’t left. It’s an embarrassment to the nation. Democracy has spoken and the people’s will is not being respected. I know that you could give me a million reasons why brexit is bad. I could give you a million and one reasons why it is good. That is not the point. The only point is that Mr. Johnson is doing all in his power (except join with Farage’s party as you astutely pointed out) to get Britain the hell out of the beaurocratic nightmare that the EU has become.

Brexit, with no deal, is not only illegal, but it would be disasterous for the british economy, not to mention scotland voted largely to remain in the EU and Boris, the "FReeDum LuvR" won't let them have a vote for their own independence? Bullllshit he cares about anyone but himself and his own coffers.

You can make the argument to leave, but leaving without a deal is a stupid and selfish idea that will destroy the country and believing it makes sense is ludicrous. Boris is a complete dunderhead incapable of doing anything, and thats why he shut down parliament, to avoid the heaping criticism because he's a spineless snowflake.

"The Peoples' Will" is stupid shit, and nobody (read: 0%) voted for a no-deal brexit. It's not our fault that May and Johnson are complete fools and bungled it so hard. That's your guys' guys.

Is the EU perfect? Absolutely not. Does that mean that you should shoot yourselves in the face with a shotgun just to get out? Absolutely not.

Pretending that the yellowhammer leak is illegitimate is also worthy of calling you a psychopath. Just because you're rich enough to take the beating doesn't mean everyone (read: most people that aren't you) can.

But please, go on about how great the rich cornball idiot is. Dumbass.

I’m impressed with your knowledge. Clearly we have different views on this issue. I commend you on your passion. A big problem I have is people becoming entrenched in their views and resorting to name calling and hatred of the other side. (I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing, I’m just saying that’s a major problem at large.)
Brexit is an virtually unprecedented situation and to be honest there is lots about it that experts are even unsure of. Predictions mean very little when there is very little precedent and data to draw from.

Lol one thing that all people can agree on is that Boris sure seems to be gaffe prone and confusing to follow sometimes.

In the spirit of friendship I wish you well, and I’m sure that you and I both have much common ground about many issues. Peace my friend.
