Brexit: Boris Johnson ordered to appear in court over £350m claim
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoI only raise this because it has the interesting property that if (unlikely) Johnson loses there is precedent to take politicians to court for false or misleading promises Could you imagine all political campaigns being truthful, measured and accurate? :-)
- e2le 7y agoWhy is he being taken to court only days after May steps down? They had more than two years to do it. He's also the frontrunner for the next prime minister.
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoThey is a private prosecution crowdfunded through (IIRC) Kickstarter - it's been rolling for ages and has just hit a court date. There is nothing "state intervention" about it - it's just "Events, Dear Boy, Events"
