Interesting resignation letter from a Welsh Tory, who considers the Bill to be an existential threat to the Union:

It would appear every lawyer in the Government not confident of Heavy Mob protection is quitting to avoid being up before the Bar Council/SRA.
Buckland and Braverman are gutless cunts and a disgrace to professional integrity. Lawyers may get a bad rep but the amount of hoops I, a very small time solicitor in an old but essentially irrelevant firm, jump through on a daily basis to ensure I conduct myself in accordance with the rules I signed up to when I qualified compared to the naked shitheelery of those two pisses me off and makes me wonder why I bother.

Braverman is a barrister contemporary of a former Otfer , and a bunch of other people who have actually shared a courtroom with her, and the comments about her on the football prediction whatsapp group that he runs, when she was appointed were interesting. "More avant garde performance artist than lawyer". "You would be better off defending yourself, even if you only spoke arabic". "Would likely have gotten in trouble for the nature of her courtroom performances, if she wasn't so clearly disturbed and detached from reality." These performances could best be described as shambolic, confused, chaotic, self-defeating and deranged." and "Quite possibly trying to destroy the Immigration appeals system from within." and "Very hard to listen to in court, because you're too busy wondering who were all the various gatekeepers along the way who were asleep on the job that allowed someone this unhinged become a barrister."
you know, more or less exactly what you'd expect to hear about a member of this govt.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 10-09-2020, 11:25.

The legal opinion goes on to say that should the legislation actually be adopted it would be in “clear breach of substantive provisions of the protocol” in waiving any export procedures or formalities on the trade of goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain and in restricting the application of EU state-aid rules in the case of Northern Ireland.
“Once the bill is adopted (as proposed), the commission may initiate infringement proceedings against the UK for breach of the good faith obligations,” the EU lawyers write. “Even before the bill is adopted, it could be defendable to bring infringement proceedings on the same grounds.”
The lawyers add: “Given the length of the pre-litigation phase, it is unlikely that the case against the UK can be brought to the court before the end of the year.
“However, infringement procedures for facts occurred before the end of the transition period can be brought to the court during four years after the end of the transition.”
