Since #Johnson seems intent on breaking international law it seems to be the right time to list all the laws he could escape in office
And the ones he plans to add to this list based from his manifesto
1. Corporate Mass Murder as a result of policies. (Replaced Gross Negligence)
2. Fraud with personal benefits from policy
3. Breaching a whole host of traffic rules
4. Breaching rights of employees at number 10
5 Laws on slander, and often libel
6. lies to select committees investigating say, the death of thousands from #Covid19. no sanctions for that.
7. There only three places where you can sue the Johnson's Government
A)Workers Rights
B)Environmental Policy
C)Business Regulation
Just one thing. You better get your skates on.
The UK promised to transfer all of EU law. They seem to have missed these.
You have 3.5 months.
Yes I know. They promised Brexit wouldn't affect these. It makes perfect sense for them to remove the ability for you to sue them if it does.
But it doesn't end there.
Mr Johnson plans, amongst other things to become what we used to call and N. Korea still does) a Divine Ruler.
In case you're unaware, democracies have a sort of fuse system to prevent tyrany
A tyrant might blow one fuse, but then the lights go out and everything all comes to a stop.
3 fuses remained until the mockery of our "unwritten" rules.
Most are unaware Johnson has removed 2.
1. Gone is parliamentary control. Without a majority Johnson enabled a coup. With one the fuse is blown but the lights are on.
2. Gone is The House of Lords, as anachronistic and unelected as that House is, it is at least independent.
No I don't mean the cronies he just put in
I mean the rule (Salisbury Convention) that says that anything the Government puts in it's Manifesto cannot be blocked by the Lords.
Pah! You say.
Manifestos are worthless!
Yes, but only in your direction.
You cannot enforce a manifesto.
But a Government can if you agreed it.
Such as your agreement to the removal of the final fuse.
What Agreement you shout?
Oh you don't know the fine print of the Tory Manifesto? Surely you heard about the page 40 great debate?
