maybe what frincanada2 actually meant was a request of debatable legality/veracity (?)
a document can, imaginably (to me), be non-legal (eg, unsigned) without being illegal (fraudulent, forged, in bad faith, libelous, etc.)
standard disclaimer: i am not a lawyer
I can’t mind-read. What was written was that this was an “illegal request”
since boris requested it, my question to the poster was whether he thought Boris did something illegal or not?
The letter was still a formal request from the office of Prime Minister. IF you put Boris under oath and say “did you send a letter requesting an extension? No ifs and buts”, the answer should be “yes I did send it”
That’s it - he’s trying to squirm out of his earlier statement that he wouldn’t send such a letter.
Boris’ entire lifetime has been spent squirming out of stuff. He’s like billy Bunter
Btw, this is billy bunter - books I grew up reading. Fun books. Whoddathunk the English would end up getting Billy Bunter as PM!
My use of the term Illegal is a reference to my anology a check being processed by a bank AFTER the bank has been notified that they he check it self was written under duress and is unsigned. Furthermore, If a bank knowing processes a check that is unsigned and written under duress especially when that check is accompanied by a signed letter to the bank demanding that the unsigned check be ignored and NOT cashed.
I believe that a bank who knowing and willing cashes an unsigned check is committing a crime/theft from the check writter. If the paraliment believe THEY have check writing authority they CAN sign their own letter to EU ?
