Actually, I've just looked online for pictures of her cat. It might be an alternative fact...

A decent read. Explaining why the case was launched from the founder of the campaign. Be good if people like the Daily Mail read and understood it, rather than just printing entirely the wrong headlines. This case was about preserving democracy, not stripping it away.
Not looking for yet another argument but really?

I thought the case was brought by a woman who claimed to be physically sick over the vote to leave and to hinder or halt the decision, funny how now it was to protect democracy.
Do you have any quotes to support that - genuine question - I've not seen any...

Following the referendum results on 23 June, Miller said she felt physically “sick” and thought: “I don’t think people know the ramifications of this, of what’s happened, and I felt really sorry that people had been tricked and fooled”.

On the night of the EU referendum Gina Miller slept for 36 minutes. “I know, because my husband gave me this watch that tracks my sleep,” she says, waving a slim wrist bearing an elegant Withings watch. Her husband and business partner, Alan Miller, went to sleep, but she sat in bed beside him in their south London home watching television.
At 4am she was “physically sick” as she tried to take in what the UK had voted for. By breakfast, however, Ms Miller’s brain was clunking into gear. When her 11-year-old son heard the news, he said: “But you’re going to do something, Mummy, you always do.”
“And I said, ‘I’m not promising anything, but I will talk to…
And with that I think I'll keep out of politics for a while, don't want to rile everyone up :wink:
Perhaps if you hadn't selectively quoted you'd have included the bit about how she wasn't trying to change the vote but merely preserve the democratic process.

Ha ha. A blow-in from that cradle of parliamentary democracy Guyana, who has done rather well out of business from similar "citizens of the world" then lectures us about doing the right thing, all the while knowing that she is buying "democracy", or should I say "justice". What a crock of shit.

Wow. Being Guyanese makes you undemocratic now.

And indeed good at business.

In fact, I'm struggling to see any point in what you've just written. But to summarise, as I understand it, her bad traits are...

1) Being a bit foreign
2) Being a bit good at business
3) Winning a court case.

I say deport on those deplorable traits. We can make the rest up when we've thought of it.

Eh? Hoboh was asked to provide quotes that it wasn't just about preserving democracy but that she felt physically sick blah blah. He's done that.

Still trying to work out why anyone who voted Brexit, in part, to bring British law making back to Britain could complain about this. What a ridiculous set of people. Laughable.

I s'pose they'll all be whinging like snowflakes today, whilst calling remainers errrr whingers.

Let's show we mean business by ripping an Guyanese, female immigrant, because no one else would have challenged it anyhow - no really (well other than the Brazilian bloke that was listed too).

I can only assume they've had their balls cut off in a previous job by a woman who they thought would be better off in the kitchen (or worse an immigrant woman whose job should probably be to clean the kitchen).

Limp dicks. :-)

She arrived in the UK (without her parents) at the age of 10. As much as the story around that isn't clear, I think it is fair to say, that whatever the democratic situation is in Guyana, it isn't at all relevant here.

This is what happens when the right don't get their own way. Threats of violence and intimidation.

She was on Radio 4 this morning. Interesting to hear her rip apart all the 'facts' The Daily Mail managed to get wrong about her. (To be fair, this should come as a surpise to no-one. Unsurprisingly, it probably will be a revelation to some).

Threats of violence and intimidation isn't the preserve of the right, the left have plenty of their own. Rather this is a case of a mentally deficient idiot, that sadly has too many peers in a so called educated country.

I would like to ask you a genuine question and would appreciate an honest answer: - Have you always been a full-time resident of the United Kingdom? Something tells me that your views on the EU and remaining within it have been coloured by a personal interest.

As to the rest of your clumsy sarcasm, there is a point to saying that the two main promoters of this case have a vested interest which the Miller woman has covered up with the "democracy" bs when it is quite clear that she is a Remainer par excellence.

I don't mind so long as all parties are honest about their affiliations. This may apply to some of the Supreme Court judges too. A number are or have been advisers to the EU legal system. As such I believe they should have declared a conflict of interest and withdrawn from this case.

Finally I would advise you that a number of Prime Ministers have signed EU treaties, most fundamentally Maastricht and Lisbon, without obtaining prior parliamentary approval and so have made major changes to the British legal system and laws by the equivalent of the the Royal Prerogative. Where's the difference?
