I HAVE always held an open mind about Boris Johnson, our Prime Minister.

But in his defence and fairness to him, he did not mislead or lie to the Queen.

I am well aware of growing anger.

Tempers are frayed and violence could be but one step away.

Before requesting approval to prorogue parliament, the Prime Minister consulted his legal advisers, including the Attorney General who assured him that he would not be breaking the law.

As such therefore, how could he have misled and lied to the Queen?

Let’s get our facts right, furthermore, the Supreme Court deliberated that parliament had not been prorogued and that it was the suspension of parliament that was unlawful.

Personally, I support and applaud the Prime Minister, not for his past antics, but for being the only Prime Minister who is doing his level best to honour the much belated delivery of the 2016 referendum result whereby 17.4 million people voted to leave.

Democracy demands that this be the right thing to do if Britain is to continue to be respected worldwide as a democratic nation.

Against all odds he is being the nationalist this country can be proud of.

Perhaps not by some, but history will prove otherwise, the people versus parliament, referenda are not about compromises.

They are most important decisions for parliament on behalf of the sovereign.

Parliament then pass their responsibility over to the people for direct decision by general vote, which is not an advisory one.

Fear -spreaders will say anything, for they cannot bear to be on the side of their lost cause.
