Pro-, Anti-Brexit Supporters Stage Protests Outside UK Supreme Court

Pro- and anti-Brexit demonstrators held rival protests outside the United Kingdom's Supreme Court on Monday in London as judges began to hear the government's appeal on whether parliament would need to vote on triggering Article 50, which would split the country from the European Union (EU). The case comes after the High Court issued a ruling in November that said the government must get the support of members of parliament to invoke the clause written in the Lisbon Treaty, which was signed by EU members in December 2007. Signs reading "Brexit is Racist" and "British democracy fights vested interests" were spotted at the protests as demonstrators from both sides shouted at each to get their points across. Some claimants involved in the Brexit case have been on the receiving end of harassment and attacks. According to reports, Gina Miller, who took the case to the High Court to challenge the process of the UK's exit from the EU, has been subjected to network attacks and physical threats. Eleven judges involved in the case have also been targeted by the media, which disclosed their income and political views. "To be calling our judges enemies of the people, it's just so sad, and so distressing, and just takes you back to thoughts about Nazi Germany in the 30s and similar kinds of headlines and the newspapers. The judges must do this in the impartial way and follow the law of the country and to say that they're biased and they're influenced, it's just tearing down our civilization and I just think it's awful," said an anti-Brexit supporter. However, pro-Brexit supporters believe the anti-Brexit camp is just dragging the case along as a favorable decision by the judges could see the House of Lords get involved and only delay the vote. "We are being run by unelected judges, lords, old has-been politicians and celebrity lovies who don't live in this country. A lot of them have vested interest in Europe, and they will not listen to the will of the British people. They are trying to delay this process and divert it and water it down so that it then goes to the House of Lords, again unelected, and they will delay it and water it down," said a pro-Brexit supporter.
