Stuart Wheeler's Legal Challenge

The Stuart Wheeler web page is linked here, it contains a contributions form, PLEASE HELP if you are able! ======================== STUART WHEELER Website as at 19.5.08 Following added - - - - The government appears to be rattled. Not content with having the leading treasury counsel, Philip Sales QC, who argued the government case at the April hearing, they have appointed Jonathan Sumption QC to lead him at the judicial review itself, which will be held on 9 and 10 June. Jonathan Sumption is one of the most expensive QCs in practice. The potential costs if I lose the case, perhaps after it has gone all the way up to the judicial branch of the House of Lords, are now even higher than ever. So I am afraid this is a further request for financial help to anyone who can afford it. ================== IAIN DALE'S BLOG 19.5.07 Mr Speaker Launches New Court Bid in EU Case Iain Dale 7:07 PM Press release just received from Stuart Wheeler... This evening Stuart Wheeler has been notified that the Speaker intends to intervene in the case in which he has been granted a judicial review over the Government's refusal to hold a referendum on the EU Treaty. The Attorney General will represent the Speaker. Mr Wheeler responds 'I am surprised that the Speaker wishes to intervene. At no stage have I sought in any way to impinge on Parliamentary privilege. "My case is based solely on the Government's refusal to hold a referendum on the EU Treaty." Er, on what grounds has The Speaker intervened?!!! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Some readers suggest! - - - ==On the grounds that the speaker, like the vast majority of McLabour MPs, is working for the EU with the sole mission of breaking England up into 'Regions' and transferring whats left over to Brussels to rule. . ==It's an abuse of his office, but he's an abusive and obnoxious man totally without honour or integrity. Pity we taxpayers can't sue him for the bill we will now foot. Anonymous said... ==On the grounds that it is a breach of the Bill of Rights, I assume. The courts are not allowed to impeach the proceedings of parliament and given that this court case looks pretty much like that is what is happening here - it is an attempt by the courts to stop parliament ratifying the treaty, I'd guess the speaker has a good case. ==On the grounds of protecting the darling PM, of course. Isn't it about time Michael Martin fell down a flight of stairs? ==Because Gordo shouted at him ... before throwing his mobile phone at him? ==How can the Attorney General representing the Speaker be compatible with the Speakers independence from the Government? Likewise how can the Speaker intervening on the Governments behalf be compatible with the his independence? ==Perhaps he wishes to support Stuart Wheeler's attempt to maintain parliamentary integrity. Just a thought. The Stuart Wheeler website is linked here, it contains a contributions form.
