It’s time those trying to overturn Brexit decide what kind of democracy they actually believe in

NOW we see how little the pro-EU elite really care for UK democracy.

Last week Remainers cheered the “democratic process” as three High Court judges ruled Parliament must have a say on Theresa May triggering Article 50 to take Britain out of the EU.

Within minutes, unelected Lords and backbench MPs with meagre followings announced they would defy the referendum result to force the terms of leaving they alone wanted.

Then yesterday, despite Labour ­trailing 17 points in the polls and with barely a third of his own MPs at his side, leftie buffoon Jeremy Corbyn unveiled another list of demands for the Brexit bill.

Perhaps most worryingly, politicians from all sides — led by tedious Europhile and former Tory minister Chris Patten — ordered the PM to condemn news­papers for daring to criticise the judges frustrating Britain’s exit.

It is increasingly clear the only version of democracy that will make grumpy Remainers content is one that ignores a democratic vote, suppresses free speech and keeps the country in the EU.

As Nigel Farage warned on Sunday morning, this is a recipe for civil unrest.

Mrs May must now plot a route that avoids delays or riots, especially with her appeal to the Supreme Court ­looking shaky at best.

And it’s time those trying to overturn the referendum result decide what kind of democracy they actually believe in.

Secrets society

WE’VE long known wealthy celebs can pay to cover up their sordid sex lives.

Now judges are letting a tycoon hide a probe into  his financial ­dealings — even though the ­public may be at risk.

Newspapers have been banned from revealing the identity of a rich and well-known businessman currently under investigation for serious financial ­irregularities.

Thanks to his deep pockets and ­Britain’s overbearing privacy laws, the free press has been stopped once again from printing the full details of a case with clear public interest.

As ever, it’s one rule for the loaded and another for the rest of us.

Speak up, Wills

VETERANS, footballers, politicians and hundreds of thousands of Brits have condemned Fifa’s outrageous poppy ban. But the President of the Football Association — Prince William — remains silent.

In 2011, the Duke of Cambridge was among the first to speak out on Fifa’s stance.

Although the FA have announced they will defy the ludicrous ruling anyway, it’s sad the Prince — as the man in charge and a former RAF pilot — won’t lend his support.

Come on Wills, it’s the right thing to do.
