   well, i wouldn't let you out on your own

   by two days?   
      
   >Supreme Court President David Neuberger says the vote was a majority of 8-3.   
   the court also unanimously decided that there's no need to consult Scotland,   
   Wales, Northern Ireland on Brexit.   
      
   wow, a court decided they should be in charge....   
      
   when did any group ever decide to give up any power they supposed   
        they might have to interfere?   
      
   >British Attorney General Jeremy Wright said that the government will comply

   soften the terms of the U.K.'s withdrawal from the bloc.   
      
   the eussr will 'soften terms' at that point where they understand   
       they have no other choice   
      
   > "Leave" campaigners have objected, saying Parliament shouldn't have the   
   power to overrule the electorate, which voted to leave the EU in a June 23

   and?   
      
   >May wanted to use centuries-old powers known as royal prerogative to invoke   
   Article 50 of the EU treaty and launch two years of exit talks. The powers —   
   traditionally held by the monarch —permit decisions about treaties and other   
   issues to be made    
   without a vote of Parliament.   
      
   so?   
      
      
   forecast...   
   parliament will pass the bill after a minimum of posturing...   
      
   if they dare do otherwise there will be an election...   
      
   corvyd is just gagging for the chance with the latest poll   
       claiming that tories are 16 points ahead!!   
   and with the kippers closing in rapidly on the fascist(new politics)   
        labour party and even the lib dems slowly recovering
