They have not ruled against the will of the people.
They have ensured that what will happen will be legal.
This was not about leaving the EU, we know that this will happen. It was however about how it would happen, which no-one has had any say on, which is clearly undemocratic.
Please do not talk about this being a garden forum, when you are responsible for some of the threads which have caused the most trouble in recent memory.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
It's pretty cold here too and I would consider hibernation if Incould get away with it, DD, lovely cupcakes and the children looked to be having a great time.
My understanding of the ruling was that Parliament must be involved, not that we're staying in, merely our laws have to be followed. Surely that's what Brexiteers wanted?
Oh the delicious irony that the Brexit Article 50 debate might end up in the European Parliament.
Definitely left the meeting feeling exhausted Lantana, been a mad week anyway and the concentration levels needed to follow a debate in a second language are absolutely draining, it's the nuances that are so hard to get, I have to really focus on all the body language and facial expressions, as well as hang onto every word, just to get an idea of what's going on. However, the meeting was all about improving the school offering for the kids so a worthwhile exercise, just a shame we will probably have to have a whole pile of similar meetings to discuss the issues before any action takes place.
Pouring down here, will do my little pots some good and my 3 roses, but won't be hanging the washing out!
Charlie and I are off to the cinema this afternoon and then we are going to have a Tapas style supper so we can watch Strictly with nice nibbles to go along with it.
Have a good day all. I hope Reggie has been fed and everyone else is well.

You're absolutely right Hosta - in Britain we have a Parliamentary Democracy - referendums are a way gauging the opinion of the electorate on a subject that crosses traditional party political boundaries, not a way of reaching a decision. For Cameron to have intimated otherwise was just plain wrong and indicative of either arrogance, ignorance or carelessness. Government cannot over-ride parliament in these matters - it would be illegal - as you say, I thought that was what the Brexiteers wanted, a restoration of the supremacy of the British parliament.
An independent judiciary is fundamental to a parliamentary democracy - parliament makes the laws - the judiciary interprets and applies them. If you don't like the law you try to persuade parliament to change it - you don't attack the judges. They are doing their job.
I do wish Civics was taught in British schools nowadays. I believe that my Russian ex-daughter-in-law has a better understanding of the workings of the British democratic system than many Brits nowadays, as she had to study the subject in order to pass her Citizenship Test.
