Scottish appeals court rules suspension of Parliament is unlawful. Meaning that, like Trump, Boris is an evil tyrant.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

The Supreme Court rules that Parliament was suspended illegally. Boris will now be carried off to The Tower where his head will be struck off (or whatever the modern equivalent is). Bercow (the Speaker) said that Parliament must convene without delay.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Pilgrim Fathers
Newly discovered documents have revealed the Pilgrim Fathers settled in Boston in Lincolnshire for several months before they escaped England.
It was previously thought the group only assembled in the town shortly before attempting to leave for the Netherlands in 1907.
But Boston Council found they worshipped in the town three months prior to their unsuccessful escape.
Its heritage manager Luke Skerritt said the discovery was "totally unexpected".
The documents, found in the county's archive, have now gone on display in the town's Guildhall Museum, where some members were jailed after trying to leave the country.
As Puritans, they had been persecuted for failing to attend Church of England services, leading them to try and flee via the Lincolnshire port.
"They didn't just come down to meet a ship," said Mr Skerritt, who discovered the documents.
"This group of people - which includes really important members of the pilgrims like William Brewster, Richard Clifton and Thomas Helwys - they were worshiping here for up to three months.
"This is totally unexpected."
The group eventually left Boston for the Netherlands. Many later crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower, landing at Plymouth Rock in the United States in 1620.Last edited by firstfloor; 09-28-2019, 11:22 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
