BORIS Johnson could go to prison if he ignores a law that delays Brexit, the former Director of Public Prosecutions warned today.
The PM had insisted he would "never" postpone the looming October 31 deadline, despite being dealt a major blow yesterday when the Lords approved legislation blocking a No Deal Brexit. The bill orders Mr Johnson to ask for a Brexit delay until January 31 next year if no agreement has been reached by October 19 and MPs do not back No Deal.
And the Prime Minister was today warned by the former Director of Public Prosecutions Lord MacDonald that he could face jail if he ignored the legislation.
When asked if jail time would be an "extreme outcome", the 66-year-old told Sky News: "It is by convention that if you are found guilty of defying a court order then you are jailed."
"A refusal in the face of that would amount to contempt of court which could find that person in prison."

I told my hubby this morning that it looks like the Brits have been watching what has been happening to POTUS over here; and, they have decided to use the same type of tactics to stop BREXIT.
bfl
Boris must be shaking in his Wellies.
The English RINOs roar.
Thanks RummyChick. The Eurotrash are flexing. The fake nobility are doing their bidding to preserve their status (for now).
I hope he calls their bluff. Declare Brexit. Break the spell of the nation being in limbo, then move on from there.
I seriously doubt they would throw him in jail for it.
The Brits need a Special Prosecutor named Miller...
Moe-hair needs to cross the Rubicon
Boris Derangement Syndrome
Take one for the team, Boris.
His arrest and imprisonment would not be a surprise. Look at what they did, and are continuing to do to Tommy Robinson!
It is a good thing they call their country the ‘United Kingdom’, rather than the former ‘Great Britain’ because it certainly ain’t ‘great’ anymore!
LOL. Yes, absolutely put him in prison!!!!
The Brits appear to enjoy their subjugation by the EuroNazi Forth Reich?
plus, their own ruling class has sold them out to the IslamoNazi invasion
there doesn’t appear to be much chance they’ll ever break free again?
This is rich. Leftists have been ignoring the law time and again in Europe to force nations to join.
Adversaries were more likely to be referred to as my friend or the loyal opposition.
A rare exception was the despicable manner in which the Dems/MSM hounded Nixon out of office, primarily due to his successes in going after notorious communists.
Now, threatening to prosecute, harass or impeach opponents is so commonplace its getting to be both irksome and tiresome.
Well then Boris needs to ask the people to take to the street and protest all those preventing the will of the voters. March on their offices, march on their homes. Dont stop! Shut them down! Thats what a Lib would do, so turn their tactics against them!
Brexiters could use a tea party. ..
