You wanna talk hypocricy? “The only reason I wouldn’t visit some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump,” “I think he’s betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of president of the United States.” “I would invite him to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city – except I wouldn’t want to expose any Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.” Boris Johnson 2015 Edited 24 July 2019 by Buce 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 Let's be fair, Boris will want an election as quick as possible, he'll see Corbyn as weak just like May did. May cocked up her campaign and you must admit it's more unlikely that Boris doesn't cock up his campaign. We'll probably end up with an even more split parliament come turn of next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very similar thread to this on my Oz migration forum, lots of Poms debating Brexit from afar. If anything more vitriolic from those who left decades ago. Australian politics are much worse than British. Are you not in the least resentful that Brexit is undermining both the exchange rate and house prices underpinning your move to Oz?

Legend_in_blue Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 If there is a GE, how many of the BP voters will turn out and vote for Farage once again. I still can't see how long established Tory seats will go despite how **** this all is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Falling Foxes Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 Johnson is prime minister. Corbyn leader of the opposition. Trump in the White House. Climate change scientists are saying we don't have 12 years to save the planet - we have 18 MONTHS! Stop the world, I want to get off. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifted*fox Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 in the exact same way they interfere in our elections pumping money in via the likes of aaron banks, etc. trump, farage, johnson. all on russia's pay-roll - putin systematically destroying the west by buying out our politicians and using social media to spread false information. not sure how some can't actually see this is happening? it's some real in broad-daylight shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkie Bennett Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 The buffoonery, the gaffes, the offensiveness will all take a back seat for a while, but they will be back. He can't help himself, and when he does he won't be able to duck into the shadows or bluster his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 I don't like him. I don't like many that have got in today tbh in this mass cabinet culling. It's no reshuffle.

Wymsey Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 Hopefully he will become more firmer with the likes of Trump, North Korea and Russia than May ever was. Need a 'no-bull*hit' approach - no tit-for-tat talk; Johnson should just try and work a way around the various problems the country faces, for the benefit of a stronger society and relations, slowly but stategically.

The Guvnor Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 To the mods. How about a Pro Brexit thread and a against / stop Brexit thread , then pro Brexiteers wouldn't have to read all the sh#t from leavers and vice versa. Then everyone can slap each other on the backs without things getting heated. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided since the vote, though not connected to it. I voted leave, and I’m positive that we would have left by now with a leave PM, and that the uncertainty is much worse than leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be a regional thing Jon. I live in the South West and two houses near me have just sold for silly money.
