At the time.

I had a beef roast at the weekend.

Guess what, it was once a cow
And yet at this time, advisory...

Your beef roast just leapt back off the table and is happily grazing again :)
 
Must admit I dont under stand these referendums :confused:

Take the Scottish independance referendum

As I under stand it more people voted to stay in the union then voted for independance

So how come Scotland did not gain independance :?: :confused::confused:

Tis all confusing to me :confused:

Nope.

It was advisory, since then parliament voted to trigger article 50. The advisory element has come and gone.

If you think advisory still applies perhaps you can explain how.

You are a tad confused ...

Subsequent parliamentary actions do not change the fact that UK law dictates that a UK referendum is advisory...

Because there is the tiny matter of 'parliamentary sovereignty' - which means parliament can decide whether or not to be swayed by the result, not forced to do so!

If you however believe that the result of a UK referendum is not advisory, then please show us where this is written in UK law...
(you won't because you can't)

Because it was once a cow, it's been slaughtered and you've eaten some of it, doesn't change the fact that it was once a cow. Because you've eaten some of it does not change what it was into a horse.
The beef was a product of the cow, it hasn't changed the fact that it was a cow, and will always be regarded as being a cow.
The referendum was advisory, and the result is still advisory. The fact that legislation was enacted does not change the status of the referendum.

If my financial adviser tells me to change my investment into a different account, and I do, and it doesn't work out. He will always be able to say his advice was only advisory and he is not liable for any losses I incur. Because I followed his advice does not change the status of his advice.

Stop the silly nonsense. That's what it is, silly nonsense.

Pointless drivel.

There was an advisory referendum. It was subsequently acted on.

Whether it was once advisory or not is irrelevant.

I fully agree, you and Ellal should stop this silly nonsense.

it was once advisory, parliament has subsequently voted on it.

Perhaps you think a beef burger can be turned back into a cow :ROFLMAO:

There is no "or not" about it.
It was and still is advisory. If Parliament wishes to ignore that referendum and change that legislation it is at liberty to do so.

May I remind you, that it was you that started this pointless drivel.
It was advisory at the time.

Article 50 was voted on.

No longer advisory

And now you are running around the bottom of your own hole, looking for a way out, desperately blaming others for starting your pointless drivel.
 
OK, so if parliament does nothing apart from saying: Himagin says we can we will ignore that referendum, what will happen on the 29th March?

Referendums do not legislate. Legislation has been passed by Parliament, not by any referendum.
If Parliament wishes to change that legislation, it is at liberty to do so.

As I said, stop your silly nonsense.
