Balls

[Khandro]

Wannabe ‘private prosecutor’ and general all-round freeloader and charlatan Marcus J. Ball has lost another legal bid to get the courts to hear his ludicrous lawsuit against Boris Johnson. Despite the High Court utterly ripping his case to shreds and even finding that £350 million-a-week was acceptable as a gross figure, Ball had the temerity to launch another round of crowdfunding to try to dupe gullible Remainers into believing he had the slightest chance of getting his vanity project heard in the Supreme Court. When even snake-oil peddler-in-chief Jolyon Maugham thinks the money has been utterly wasted you know you’re not onto a winner…

The Court of Appeal unsurprisingly rejected his application for leave to appeal this morning. Ball is still left with the option of applying to the Supreme Court directly for permission, incredibly he has said he will carry on with his farcical attempts: “This isn’t over, we are not giving up. We are pursuing it, absolutely.” It’s Ball’s continuing attempts to con Remainiacs who don’t know better out of their cash that are starting to border on criminal…

Talking of ludicrous law suits, what news of the English Democrats’ attempt to persuade the judiciary that it was all a dream, JR was never shot, and we left the EU after all on March 29 :-)

"A fool and his money are soon parted".

That seems to be more appropriate today than ever and this goes a long way to proving it. If idiots are foolish enough to fund this nonsense them let them continue to do so. The High Court made it perfectly clear in its ruling why the action failed and if those stumping up for further action are still willing to do so having read that (if they have) then good luck to them.

The only disappointing feature of this tale is that the Chief Magistrate, Emma Arbuthnott (I believe it was she) was gullible enough to say that there was a case to answer and so authorised a summons against Mr Johnson before wiser heads prevailed.

The original legal submission that the UK had indeed left the EUSSR was rejected in secret by HM Courts & Tribunals Service . Who followed that up with a delayed postal notification on June 19th to Tilbrook, whilst he was on holiday. Had he not had someone opening and reading his mail, he would have returned from holiday and found that he was unable to appeal because he was timed out. Suspicious? An appeal has subsequently been lodged and Tilbrook has recruited Anthony Speaight QC to his legal team, and according to Mr Tilbrook, the leading barrister is confident he still has a strong case to proceed with.

But the twit still wants to carry on. Given there was no deception on the bus whatsoever, there is clearly no case to answer. Except by those who should explain why they keep lying about the bus in the hope of causing trouble.

Let him and the fools that fund him carry on.

well they'll have to teach the eejit and all the remoaners English first. On the side of the bus was a statement and a suggestion, no promise no lie etc but 3 years down the line they still struggle with the language.

oh come on
if people wish to spend their moolah on a forlorn cause
and then on a forlorn appeal - - - let them

I mean people knowingly post on AB when they know that doing a cross word is far better way to spend time

What makes you think that we don't multitask and do both ?
