The government took its case, that it doesn’t need to seek permission from a democratic parliament to trigger a process which will alter the constitutional basis of people’s rights to the Supreme Court.
“If you ask the ordinary man or woman in the street,” said the Government’s QC James Eadle, “the thick ol’ plebs would say something reactionary that totally backs up our case and although the government couldn’t give a toss about the opinion of the public whilst it sneakily privatises the NHS, obviously we must obey the baked bean munching twerps on this Brexit issue!”
We asked Dave Winston-Smith of Rochdale and Sue Denim of Oldham- an ordinary man and woman on the street- for their opinion:
“We’ve got a Supreme Court?” said Dave, “Like on telly in America and that? Fuckinelll!”
“I think Brexit should mean Brexit,” opined Sue. When we asked what that meant she explained: “It means… well… Brexit. I think.”
The case against the government was brought by Gina Miller et al, and says that parliament must vote on whether to trigger the Brexit process because of the changes it would cause in British law.
The case has polarised the nation and is expected to last four days.
Brexiters can’t understand why anyone might not want to go blindly with the most extreme version of Brexit because of a marginal victory for the Leave vote and anyone who disagrees is a Nazi communist who hates democracy, puppies, England, the Queen and Our Troops.
Meanwhile, Bremoaners insist that anybody who doesn’t want to stay in the EU is a racist, Nazi who hates democracy, puppies, women and the colour brown.
Meanwhile ministers are said to be drawing up a 16 word bill that will allow them to cheat the system if the law goes against them.
“That ought to prove our dedication to democracy,” said our source at Tory HQ.
