The article that you originally linked to said PM defies the law. This is written in the current tense, he has defied (ignored / broken) the law. As far as I am aware this is not the case.
Stating your intention to do something in the future generally isn't breaking the law. For example I could say that I'm driving to London next month, and I going to go at 80mph along the M5. Thats not ignoring or breaking the law, as I havent done it yet. Ultimately, I might not do what I said I was going to do, as I may decide to drive at 70mph, or not bother going to London at all when the time comes.
If he ultimately ignores a law that is shown to be enforceable, I will be the first to critise him.
I dunno, a prime minister setting the example for the rest of the country that breaking the law is a reasonable option to consider is something that just might have some unfortunate consequences. Except he's saying that he isn't going to break the law

I'm not saying you are sneering at my original post but you do seem unwilling to engage in rational debate, and that's a great shame. As I've said previously, it's incontrovertible that "the Prime Minister defies the law", and it's obviously a uncomfortable truth. I'm perfectly happy happy to engage in rational debate, but you last post appears to be a clasic case of playing the man and not the ball.
Your original post linked to an article that said that the PM had broken the law, and all I ask is justifiction for this. In reply your mantra is that he has said something that might suggest that at some time in the future under certain circumstances he may think about breaking the law (although this is denied by Conservative HQ). Just repeating the same thing time and time again doesn't make it a fact.
If you have evidence to support the claim that he has broken the law fine, if not probably best that we all move on.

Well not Long to wait till SC ruling. If they uphold appeal by low majority it Will just make things worse. Can a judge abstain? Imagin 50/50 plus 1 abstension. 11 judges is less than 12 jury in normal case.

I dunno, a prime minister setting the example for the rest of the country that breaking the law is a reasonable option to consider is something that just might have some unfortunate consequences. Except he's saying that he isn't going to break the law Mr Johnson wrote to Tory members saying: ‘They just passed a law that would force me to beg Brussels for an extension to the Brexit deadline. This is something I will never do.’ Tory grandee Iain Duncan Smith has told Mr Johnson to hold his nerve, saying he would be ‘martyred’ if he chose to break the law and risk a possible jail term for contempt of Parliament. That sounds to me like breaking the law is being considered as a reasonable option, which was the point in my post. metro.co.uk/2019/09/07/boris-johnson-hints-will-break-law-force-no-deal-brexit-10701787/

strictly speaking , shouldn't it be: il n'y a rien de problème (though colloquially the n' is often omitted)? or even il n'y a pas de problème or il n'y a rien problème? O level French a year early followed by O/A Additional French for Business.
