There's another aspect here though - the referendum. Legislation for this
had been passed by
Parliament last year. The people were told that the decision was theirs,

But who told them that? Or was the idea that it might be binding just an
assumption made by the kind of people who don't talk about trains using
a obscure format from the dark age of online communications?

The whole parliament must ratify nonsense is just another ploy by Remoaners
to block Brexit. Parliment exists to enact the will of the people, however if
the will of the people has already been made perfectly clear via a referendum
then the role of parliament is redundant in the matter. And whats more - if
parliament go against the will of the people then we're sliding into a
parliamentary dictatorship.

All UK needs to do is to repeal the European Communities Act and tell the EU to make personal use of
a taxidermist.

To repeal the ECA requires that it be put before parliament, something
that May is trying to avoid.

Invoking Article 50 not the same as repealing the ECA.
