Brexit: Court bid to force Boris Johnson to ask for extension

A legal action has been launched in Scotland aimed at forcing Boris Johnson to ask the EU for an extension if the UK is heading for a no-deal Brexit.A bill was passed at Westminster which would require the prime minister to write to European leaders if deal is not agreed by 19 October.But the prime minister said he would "rather be dead in a ditch" than ask for a further delay beyond 31 October.The latest legal action is being taken in Scotland's highest court.The petitioners want the Court of Session to use its powers to effectively sign the letter to the EU on the PM's behalf if he refuses to do so.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-49679743

Meanwhile, throughout the country, local authorities have been ordered to engage in a billion-pound initiative to fill in all ditches.

Thank you David; made me chuckle, just as another Aussie wicket falls to Archer.
