SUPREME COURT RULES JOHNSON & GANG ACTED ILLEGALLY


DOMINIC (EVIL GENIUS) CUMMINGS
BORIS (ARROGANT WOULD-BE DICTATOR) JOHNSON
 ACTED ILLEGALLY - SUPREME COURT RULING

"The Mother of Parliaments - closed by The Father of Lies"

LOCK THEM UP!

PUBLIC ORDER ACT 1986
legislation.gov.uk homepage call-to-action widget

INCITEMENT to VIOLENCE is replaced by: The offences of encouraging or assisting crime under the Serious Crime Act 2007 are inchoate offences.[3] In each case, the actus reus requirement is that the defendant carry out an act capable of "encouraging or assisting" the commission of another offence



  • disobeying or ignoring a court order
  • refusing to answer the court’s questions if you’re called as a witness
My guess is that Dominic Cumming's "Cunning Plan" is to terrify the UK with the prospect of a crippling No-Deal, then at the last minute, comply with The Supreme Court and substitute a Boris-Leave-Deal. "Phew - what a relief. At last! We MUST do this deal!" A Very-Bad-deal will replace No-deal. Boris will be acclaimed as the Brexit winner. Cumming's will be lauded (again) as an evil-genius. Speculators including UK media bosses will make offshore tax-free billions as Sterling collapses another 20%. Between 5 and 7 million jobs or equivalent wages will be lost. It will take 10 years to renegotiate the UK's trade-deals on 70,000 items and services. The UK will break-up "The Disunited Kingdom". All profitable UK businesses will emigrate. Most talent will emigrate. The UK will be bankrupted and become irrelevant, globally. Thank you Boris, Nigel & gang. 

Contempt of court  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Contempt of court, often referred to simply as "contempt", is the offense of being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law and its officers in the form of behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice and dignity of the court.[1][2] A similar attitude towards a legislative body is termed contempt of Parliament or contempt of Congress.
There are broadly two categories of contempt: being disrespectful to legal authorities in the courtroom, or willfully failing to obey a court order.[3] Contempt proceedings are especially used to enforce equitable remedies, such as injunctions.[4] In some jurisdictions, the refusal to respond to subpoena, to testify, to fulfill the obligations of a juror, or to provide certain information can constitute contempt of the court.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incitement
England and Wales[edit]
Incitement was an offence under the common law of England and Wales. It was an inchoate offence.[3] It consisted of persuading, encouraging, instigating, pressuring, or threatening so as to cause another to commit a crime.
It was abolished in England and Wales on 1 October 2008[4] when Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007 came into force, replacing it with three new statutory offences of encouraging or assisting crime.[5] The common law is now only relevant to offences committed before that date.[6]

SHORTING STERLING:  The real motive of VIP Brexiters. Billions of Reward or Risk for the super-rich who finance Boris Johnson and his gang. LOCK THEM UP !
“It could be Cummings advising the PM to be extremely aggressive… It could be people who have invested billions in shorting the pound in expectation of a no-deal Brexit.”
Rachel Johnson, BBC World at One

The Prorogation Plan

Disclosures in a Channel Four documentary Tories at War on Sunday revealed that one of the hedge fund owners who contributed to Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign, Crispin Odey, appeared to be aware of a plan to ‘suspend’ Parliament in late July, the day before Johnson won the leadership contest. This was a month before the government’s plan to prorogue Parliament was leaked by the Observer
In 2016, Odey and his partner made £350m overnight by speculating on sterling and moving in gold when the shock EU referendum result caused the pound to tumble. He had donated over £800,000 to Leave campaigns during the Brexit referendum.
In early August this year, The Times revealed that Odey Asset Management had placed £299 million in short positions on some of Britain’s biggest firms around the date for a possible ‘no deal’ Brexit.


SUPREME COURT RULES JOHNSON & GANG ACTED ILLEGALLY

LOCK 'EM UP !

 DAILY TELEGRAPH: 11 am 24 Sept 2019:
 Supreme Court finds Boris Johnson's prorogation of Parliament was 'unlawful, void and of no effect' - Brexit latest news.

THE GUARDIAN newspaper
Here’s another call for Boris Johnson’s resignation, from Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party. This is from its leader at Westminster, Liz Saville Roberts.

The supreme court has delivered a damming and unanimous verdict. Boris Johnson has broken the law for undermining the basic principles of democracy. The prime minister has shown himself to be no better than a tin-pot dictator, shutting down democracy to avoid scrutiny.
There is no question, the prime minister must resign immediately and a crash-out Brexit stopped once and for all.
In his short time in office Boris Johnson has proven himself to be a deeply dangerous and anti-democratic leader, with no respect for the rule of law. It would be a complete affront to civilised society if the prime minister did not resign after this historic ruling.

Summary of judgment - Key extracts

It follows that the advocate general’s appeal in the case of Cherry is dismissed and Mrs Miller’s appeal is allowed. The same declarations and orders should be made in each case.

THOMAS COOK - WHO DUNNIT? STERLING COLLAPSE.


UK MUST LEAVE EUROPE! STERLING COLLAPSING.
"A GOLDEN DAWN AWAITS" Honestly it does. 

24 Sept 2019.

THOMAS COOK - WHO DUNNIT?

If I were the lead-auditor tasked with uncovering the reasons for the massively costly collapse of this cash-rich, ancient company with 11 million pre-sale-pay-in-advance customers:

In order of financial scale; starting with the past Ernst & Young audit reports, I would suspiciously dig into:

1) The £1 billion+plus debt created since the takeover of  MyTravel  in 2007. It seems to be a share-swap-merger rather than cash deal. Who got the TC/MT shares, when did they sell them, and why did it necessitate huge loans? What are the "crippling interest" loan terms ? Did the TC CEO, Manny Fontenla-Novoa, have prior or subsequent roles in MyTravel or in the lenders or brokers? How much did the subsequently valueless MyTravel executives and friends get out of it? Was it a cunning back-to-back deal? i.e.  Lose it in London (tax relief) - Make it in Monaco (tax-free)?

Y/E 30 Sep 2018 
Total Debt (1,427) £1.4 billion. 
Finance costs 8 (129) £129 million (9.2% - NB BoE base rate 0.75% - 12 times larger)

2) Ditto - detailed investigation into the currency hedging 2007-2019; required to pay the hotels and other Dollar and Euro denominated costs (Y/E 2018 £7,629,000,000  or £7.6B). These complex contracts via the money-markets would be huge, involving most of TC's turnover (e.g. 11 million customers at say £1,000 each = £11 billion per annum). Did any of it leak out to the benefit of connected parties? The Brexit collapse of Sterling (below) is a complicating factor. Were TC executives gambling on the money-markets?

3) Directors "Rewards". 2007 to 2019 - In total, more than £40 million. Peanuts compared to (1) and (2) above which deal with billions - but at an individual level these pay rates are equivalent to winning the lottery every year; for bankrupting the company. Did they work 2,000 hours a year? Were they taxed on UK PAYE or paid in "funny-money contracts" tax-free, offshore?

4) Did Fossun pull a fast one, We-Will-We-Won't, that tipped TC over the edge.

Maybe some of the answers will emerge as the creditors investigate where their money went?

******
19 June 2007: Thomas Cook Group was formed by the merger of Thomas Cook AG and MyTravel Group.
14 February 2008: Thomas Cook bought booking website Hotels4U.com for £21.8million. It marks the first of a series of acquisitions during that year that boosted the share price. 
During 2008, Thomas Cook also snapped up luxury travel firm Elegant Resorts, Gold Medal International and Jet Tours. And it bought back its licence to operate the Thomas Cook brand in the Middle East and Asia.  


THOMAS COOK - BREXIT AND STERLING

23 Sept 2019 - Several factors are fudged or missing from The Guardian's postmortem, following the sad death of veteran travel agent Thomas Cook; which is deemed to be the oldest travel-agent in the world. The BBC news this morning reported that 150,000 stranded Brits will be flown home, and their outstanding hotel bills will be paid, courtesy of HM Government and travel-insurances. The largest retreat and rescue since Dunkirk.

It will be weeks before the full deficit is calculated, as all the creditors', customers', redundant employees' and investors' claims are toted up.

What this morning's newspapers omit to quantify are the collapse of Sterling and the greed of the directors and lenders.

STERLING fell up to 20% in 2016 after the June 2016 rigged-by-lies referendum. Offshore media barons and UK politicos, shorting Sterling (selling it at a high price now to buy it back later at a low price) have ensured that Sterling continues to collapse. They plan to make another huge killing if/when we Brexit. The gambling profits are made offshore, free of tax. The majority of UK citizens pay the price in higher import and holiday costs. Leader of the House, Rees-Mogg MP has already pocketed £7 million (offshore) betting against his nation's currency. Thomas Cook's customers pay in Sterling - months ahead of their holidays - and, after their holidays, Thomas Cook pays the hotels and fares - in Dollars or Euros. The Brexit collapse of Sterling is a major factor in the bankruptcy. It will be the first of many hundreds of business failures, for the same currency-collapse reason. 

[e.g. 150,000 customers pay £3,000 each in March. In September TC pays foreign hotels, aircraft fuel, airport fees etc in Dollars or Euros, upped 20% as Sterling falls. = £90 million loss. The "foreign-exchange" risk escalates between March and September as TC sell, in Sterling, say another 5 million more holidays.]

So, for the spring and summer months TC are cash rich. All the wages and rents are paid, and the immense loan interest costs are paid (see below). The Directors' salaries and bonuses are paid.

Ordinary shareholders are hoodwinked by City forecasts:
https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/historical?s=TCG:LSE

Consensus recommendation




As of Sep 20, 2019, the consensus forecast amongst 10 polled investment analysts covering Thomas Cook Group plc advises investors to hold their position in the company. This has been the consensus forecast since the sentiment of investment analysts deteriorated on Dec 05, 2018. The previous consensus forecast advised that Thomas Cook Group plc would outperform the market.
The City experts recommended shareholders to hold or buy shares. The reality now is:
  • 1 YEAR CHANGE-95.57%

It will be revealing to see what the directors, auditors and executives did with their shares in 2019.

THE GUARDIAN - THOMAS COOK LIQUIDATION - 23 SEPT 2019


Why did Thomas Cook fail after 178 years in business? The immediate answer is that it was unable to secure a £200 million lifeline from its bankers, including government-owned RBS.
But in truth the tour operator’s woes go back much further – a victim of a disastrous merger in 2007, ballooning debts and the internet revolution in holiday booking. Add in Brexit uncertainty, and it was perhaps only a matter of time before the giant of the industry collapsed.
In May, the group reported  more than £1bn written off from the 2007 merger with MyTravel – better known for its brands Airtours and Going Places.
That deal was supposed to create a European giant, promising £75m-a-year cost savings and a springboard to challenge emerging internet rivals. In reality Thomas Cook was merging with a company that had only made a profit once in the previous six years, and the deal saddled the group with huge debts.

Thomas Cook collapse: your questions answered

It is not because the British have stopped taking holidays. Far from it, more Britons took a holiday abroad in 2018, up from 57% the year before. It is how we are taking holidays that has changed, with the number of city breaks now significantly outstripping beach holidays.
The beneficiaries are Ryanair, Easy-jet and Airbnb, with all of their customers booking online. The losers are package holiday companies shackled to expensive high street chains. Thomas Cook owns about 560 high street outlets.
Just one in seven of us now pop into a high street travel agency to buy a holiday, according to travel agent trade body ABTA. Those who do tend to be over 65, and in lower socio-economic groups, with less money to spend.

Anglo-German Group, TUI, Thomas Cook’s biggest rival, has suffered from similar trends, issuing several profit warnings during 2019. But it has much smaller debts, owning many of its own hotels and cruise ships, and arguably could see an uplift as it takes on former Thomas Cook customers, at higher prices.
The climate crisis has also had an impact. A Europe-wide heatwave in May 2018 reduced holiday demand sharply, as customers delayed holiday decisions while enjoying record temperatures at home. Then in 2019, Thomas Cook said British customers were postponing travel plans for the summer because of worsening uncertainty around Brexit – and the way it has hit sterling’s buying power abroad.

Thomas Cook only narrowly survived a near-death experience in 2011. Its debt pile had already reached £1.1bn, and it stayed afloat only after an emergency additional cash injection - but it also meant even more debt to service.
Since 2011 Thomas Cook has paid out £1.2bn in interest, which meant that more than a quarter of the money it charged for the 11m holidays it sold every year went into the pockets of lenders.

There was – for a couple of years at least – a corporate saviour, in the form of Chinese group Fosun International, run by Guo Guangchang, a billionaire regarded as China’s Warren Buffett.
Fosun bought its first stake in Thomas Cook in 2015, as part of a plan to build a global holiday and entertainment conglomerate, having already taken over France’s Club Med and Canada’s Cirque de Soleil.
In August Thomas Cook planned a restructure, which included a £450m cash injection from Fosun in return for a majority stake in the group – which also required the banks to write off £1.7bn in debt. Other existing shareholders would be wiped out.
It was that deal that fell apart at the weekend. It was not surprising that the axe fell in late September; like most tour operators, Thomas Cook enjoys revenue inflows in the first half of the year as holidaymakers book their summer breaks, but sizeable outflows in autumn and winter when flight and hotel arrangements must be paid for.
Some yearn for nationalisation. Critics say the cost of rescue flights and compensation may far outweigh the £200m that Thomas Cook needed to survive another day. But the government refused to step in, arguing that, like failed airline Monarch, it was purely a commercial matter at an individual business and that customers would be protected by the ATOL protection scheme and insurance.
How different it was 70 years ago. Thomas Cook was considered such a part of the fabric of British life that it was nationalised in 1948, after facing bankruptcy during the second world war. It remained in public hands, as part of British Railways, until 1972. But now it has been destroyed largely by the internet and changing fashions, hastened along by trying to finance an impossible burden of debt

UK SHUTS PARLIAMENT - FORECAST - WHAT NEXT?


NO HORSES NO DRIVERS.
REDUNDANT
BORIS DEPOSES ELIZABETH THE LAST

"REVOKE ARTICLE 50 to stop Brexit." Jo Swinson MP Leader of the Lib-Dems wins standing ovation at the Lib-Dem Conference. 

At last a leading politician speaks up for the majority of UK voters. Has the anti-Remain gag on UK media been torn aside? The UK Murdoch media, including The Times  (the popular channels) is still hammering-out the bullshit message that "The Will of the People" demands us to quit Europe. The BBC and ITV and some local newspapers seem to have at last woken to the threat of a fascist invasion and takeover. Article 50 is the letter sent to the EU giving notice of the UK leaving Europe. It can be reversed by another letter, of revocation. Quick, cost-free and efficient.   

18 Sept 2019 - 9.30 am - Desperate Times: UK waits for The Supreme Court. Will the eleven judges licence the Fascist revival as demanded by the offshore billionaires who own the UK media; and demanded by those traitors gambling against Sterling? 


Lee
The Lib-Dems (Revoke Article 50 and STOP BREXIT) are the only effective REMAIN party. Corbyn and Boris are for LEAVE.
Leaving is so damaging (5 million+ UK job losses) that I will support any and all serious initiatives to REMAIN.
What alternative do you see? – Noel
PS – 16.8 million voted remain. 6.2 million signed the petition. 1.2 million marched through London. I and they will not be gagged by the right wing, offshore billionaire owned media and the bullying fascist revival. Dangerous times.

10 Sept 2019 UK SHUTS PARLIAMENT - WHAT NEXT?

Our one-month old Prime Minister, serial liar Boris Johnson, and his ex-Cambridge Analytica/ Facebook data scandal, sociopathic sidekick, Dominic (evil genius) Cummings, have effected a cunning scheme (proroguing) to send the 650 UK Members of Parliament home, to prevent them from questioning The Government. The House of Commons shut down at midnight on Sunday 9th September.

Where will the 650 MPs meet in September and October? 

Astonishingly, so far, UK judges and courts have said the closure has nothing to do with them - so, to date the closure is deemed to be legal - or at least not illegal. Appeal Courts might change this.

These tactics and the lukewarm responses from lawyers, MPs and the media, are rightly being compared to Hitler's tactics in 1933 to create his crazed dictatorship, using his gangs of psychopathic killers, recently released from prisons and lunatic asylums, to rule Germany. What next, a Reichstag Fire and a weekend of book-burning in Westminster? 

"The Government" or Number 10, now consists of about 20 dimwit or self-profiting (shorting Sterling) Ministers, sworn to quit Europe on 31st October 2019; and the Civil Service that is presumed to be taking their orders and making Brexit happen. Effectively the UK is being run by Cummings with Boris as his puppet. Number 10 is being "ruled with a rod of iron" by Dominic Cummings. Boris is as baffled and waffling as ever - and has moved into Number 10 with one if his young mistresses (the UK's First Lady?). He is accused of lying to the Queen to make her sign the papers to shut down Parliament. 

If underlings refuse Boris's orders - he and and his gang are helpless. 

Boris vows to ruin his country (I say his country, even though he now claims to be a Turkish Muslim emigre) by forcing a Do-or-Die (the phrase is actually Do-and-Die) Brexit on the 31st October 2019. Spookily, that date is Halloween; more shades of deranged Nazi myths and ideologies. Any Brexit will cause chaos and bankruptcy. Boris's No-Deal-Brexit will cause 5 million job losses as WTO tariffs, from 5% to 45%  are added to our export-prices to the 500 million EU citizens and globally, and thus restrict our sales.

Assuming that something close to normality is restored, what will happen to politics? The main parties are: 
311 TORIES (Boris and Co "Leave") 
248 LABOUR (Corbyn and Co "Leave") 
17 LIB-DEMS (Jo Swinson and Co - "Stop Brexit") 
0  BREXIT PARTY (Farage & Co - no MPs but vociferous) 
35 SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY (SNP wanting Scotland to quit the UK and stay with Europe) 
10 DEMOCRATIC UNIONIST PARTY (DUP, N. Ireland's angry-leave gang, the 7 IRA MPs refuse to attend Parliament) 
43 WELSH NATIONALISTS - Plaid Cymru ("Leave") 
And last but not least 38 INDEPENDENT MPs (mostly "Remain" who have quit the Party System but still sit in Parliament. 

After an election, I think that another two months of Boris's lies and tom-fooleries and of Corbyn's slippery, sly smoke-filled-rooms tactics will result in:

170 TORIES "Brexit - Do and Die Suicide Pact"
120 LABOUR  "Maybe some sort of Brexit - and the Soviet Republic of Britain"
213 LIB-DEMS  "Bollock to Brexit - Stop Brexit"
40   SNPS "Quit the UK - Stay with Europe"
17  N. Ireland "We won't agree on anything, ever." 
40 WELSH  "Maybe Leave - but now we are not so sure."
50 INDEPENDENTS "Leave a little bit" 

650 MPs

The INDEPENDENTS might all migrate to the Lib-Dems. 

The proper course of events is: 

Recall Parliament
2nd Brexit Referendum
New Election.

EU & USA IN GLOBAL $80 TRILLION GDP






John - The global GDP is growing apace. There are still 2 – 3 billion people to join the money economy. We need a period of consolidation to get used to the new levels of wealth and production – but such a pause is not a recession. What needs to happen is a major injection of honesty and goodwill – sadly lacking in Trump and Johnson and other would-be backward, half-wit dictators.

I hadn’t seen this one-page, fascinating 2017 chart before – of our $80 trillion economy. Computing has provided the tools to manage it intelligently – it will not collapse.

Note that the EU (green states) GDP (2017) is $17.32 trillion compared to the US $19.39 trillion. Trump fears that EU trading and ethical standards will dominate global business - so he is trying to sabotage the European Market. He hires puppets such as Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to create EU chaos. 

Putin wants to break up Europe so as to "divide and rule".  

Europe's GDP 2018 was $18.8 trillion (22% of world activity). I think it will continue to grow and consolidate. You need not fear global collapse.

Dear MSoft. 

In the last 3 months you have sent me 20+ messages that my Mail Box is full. I have spent 5 hours on your help lines. I have done everything advised on the web to reduce my mail box. I’ve deleted years of old mails.  None of it has any affect. 

After 32 years as a Microsoft customer; should I abandon OUTLOOK and use G.Mail?

Will any Microsoft expert sort this out? Is there anybody there?
