Will There Be Civil War If Parliament Block Brexit?

[ToraToraTora]

For six months we have watched ever more squirming from the SGB, now pro EU judges have ruled that parliament must approve brexit. We know that many MPs are remainiacs. if they somehow contrive to ignore democracy will it cause conflict? Old and fat as I am I will fight for brexit if we must.

[Bobsy]

Pro EU judges ? Are you getting even more paranoid ? If they had agreed with the Government would you have written '? Pro Government judges' ?

[hereIam]

I'll fight with you TTT !!

[Jackdaw33]

It won't come to that. The Tories will be on a three-line whip and any MP foolish enough to defy that whip will soon be joining the dole queue.

[Mamyalynne]

No.

[Togo]

You never know 3T millions would join you. But it does illustrate why Lenin had the judges and most of the judiciary shot.

[Baldric]

I strongly suspect that if democracy is ignored there will rioting on a scale not seen in the UK for a long time.
I for one would be happy to participate.

[ToraToraTora]

thanks for your support. mostly!

[mushroom25]

will there will be civil war? more likely the attitude level of the uk electorate will be elevated to "miffed", or maybe even "a wee bit cross".

[ichkeria]

Lenin had the judges shot because he was a vile dictator.
He didn't want no pesky judiciary getting in the way of mass murder

[ichkeria]

lol mushroom. You could be right :-)

[DSJ]

Simple answer - yes there will.

[youngmafbog]

Depends on your definition of civil war. Guns and tanks no, rioting in the streets, treacherous MPs, Judges and Snakeoil Lawyers houses torched - then yes. Feelings are running high.

I'll be there, maybe not torching someones gaffe but I'm sure there will be those that will.

[RandyMarsh]

No one in the office i work in appears to be cross.

[Hopkirk]

Looks like we might still need UKIP after all.

[youngmafbog]

RM, I dont think anyone in my office would think I was cross.

Doesnt mean I am not.

[Hopkirk]

What will Corbyn do?

If he tells his MPs to vote against it, he will lose even more popular support.

[jno]

judges vote to uphold the parliamentary democracy their ancestors fought for? How positively awful. Bring back Charles I, plenty of people here willing to operate his Star Chamber.

[fiction-factory]

I'm not sure why the judges are being blamed here. It's their job to interpret the law and that is what they have done. I thought it was always known that parliamentary approval was required and I'm pretty certain it will be. If it's not then there wlll be a lot of rightly annoyed people rather than civil war , but the anger should then be at the MPs not the judges and 'snakeoil lawyers'

[anneasquith]

Civil war. ? Lol

[jourdain2]

No, not LOL anne. feelings are running deep. Perhaps not guns etc., but rioting and who knows where that sort of thing will end. Very dangerous situation.
