Brexit Has Not Been Delayed.

I can't believe I am having to correct the news on this.

On Thursday (21/3/19) the British Prime Minister Theresa May, on behalf of the British government, attended the European Union (EU) Council (EUCO) summit. There she made a request for an extension to the Brexit process.

The EU leaders rejected that request. In its place they made a counter-offer, which very much seems to be an attempt to overthrow the British government.

The fact that the EU have made a counter-offer does not, in any way, change the date of Brexit. That continues to be March 29th 2019 (29/3/19).

I can see how many British Remoaner MP's might have got confused about this. After all that has been how British law has been formed for the past 40 years.

An EU official makes a declaration. Then pronouncement then becomes law. Without British MP's being involved in any way.

For literally sitting on their arses doing nothing British MP's are paid £77,000 a year. Understandably they are very opposed to that situation changing.

On this issue of Brexit though the process is different.

In order to alter the date of Brexit a Statutory Instrument, essentially a law, will need to pass both Houses of Parliament. In order to change the Brexit date of the EU Withdrawal Act 2017.

Introducing such a Statutory Instrument may well constitute an act of treason. In order to become law the Statutory Instrument will have to be signed by the Queen. That will require her to overrule the counsel of her subjects, as expressed through the 2016 referendum.

For me Brexit has long ago stopped being about whether Britain is a member of the EU or not.

It is now a question of whether Britain can still call itself a democracy. Or whether it has now become a dictatorship ruled by a small cabal of 149 people.

The only way in which introducing the Statutory Instrument will not constitute treason is if MP's vote to adopt the Withdrawal Agreement. In order to trigger an extension to allow the implementation the Withdrawal Agreement.

Until that happens the date of Brexit remains unchanged at March 29th 2019 (29/3/19).

I'm very surprised that BBC News, as a public service broadcaster, in particular is not making this clearer to people.

As things stand if you're planning to travel to or from the EU on March 30th 2019 (30/3/19) thinking Brexit has been delayed.

Well, you're going to be in for a nasty surprise.
