This is from a newspaper piece, where Eadie is one of the Govt. counsels in the Supreme Court hearing that's going on. It might clear up a few things for you:

"Eadie struggled on, each argument weaker than the last. If parliament hadn’t wanted to be prorogued, why wasn’t it doing something to stop being prorogued? He still hadn’t quite grasped that parliament can’t do anything when it is prorogued. Fairly basic stuff, you’d have thought. The time-sensitive legislation could be dealt with when parliament returned. Apart from the bits that were time sensitive. He didn’t even seem entirely sure of the difference between recess and prorogation."

Does it matter if parliament opposed it or not?

Do I recognise the writing style of John Crace there?
 
Way things are going Boris may go down as the worst PM since Lord North...you know the PM from the early 1770's to 1781 who brought on the American Revolution, and them managed to lose the Revolutionary War.....

On a minor note, we can add Marvel Comic Charecters to the long list of things Boris knows nothing about.....

I already know your opinion. I'm asking glennb.

If glennb agrees with the position that Glenn quoted, glennb's response to my question affects the follow up question.

And glennb may not agree with you, so I will not presume glennb's position.

its not an opinion its a fact.

if John robs a bank it doesn't matter how many of the bank employees are happy or indifferent to the robbery. a crime is a crime.

As if no one has ever had a different position on a claim of fact on this forum.

I will allow glennb to answer the question. I know your position.

It's not that difficult to squat on a w.c., but I wouldn't advise it in a public lavatory given how loose those seats frequently are.

This is where advanced yoga comes in handy. :D

As an alternative they could lift the seat up.

Although learning advanced yoga might be less intellectually taxing for the average yoga practitioner.

IIRR my tuition fees in the late '80s were around IR£2,500. I had earned sufficient for my first two years, including living expenses, before I started.
At college many of my peers were working part-time.

I wonder how many part-time jobs the environs surrounding most universities can provide?

Enough for every student that might be in need of one?
 
By the way, I had read the Scottish decision before, I thought it spent very little time establishing why prorogation could be criminal. It was mostly about establishment that Johnson tried to restrict parliament and justiciability.

The argument it is illegal is one paragraph. It basically says it is the application of the common law informed by the principle of the rule of law (paragraph 51)

As a foreigner, I don't have the background to reach that shorthand conclusion. That is the piece I want to know more specifics about.
