British Prime Minister Boris Johnson yesterday denied that he had lied to Queen Elizabeth II when requesting she suspend parliament this month in the run-up to Brexit.

Johnson asked the British head of state to shutter parliament for five weeks from last Tuesday, claiming it was necessary ahead of rolling out a new domestic agenda.

The unusually long suspension -- known as prorogation -- was widely seen as a bid to thwart opposition to a no-deal Brexit on October 31 and provoked uproar across the political spectrum as well as legal challenges.

This whole Brexit charade is ridiculous. The people of the UK were given a vote, and they democratically chose to leave the EU. Since then, two prime ministers have left, as the ruling elite has tried to have its cake and eat it too. Give the people what they want. Enough already.
