Why is Johnson still hiding the brilliance that so many say he hides? Is it not time that the brilliant Boris Johnson makes an appearance?

I expressed an opinion earlier that his so-called brilliance was no more than ardent memorisation of works of his betters.

Thus far he seems to be doing everything wrong. With Theresa May my reasoning was those were actions of a closet Bremainer, because her score was so perfectly flawed she invoked the Paradox of Unanimity.

BJ hasn't been in power for long enough to make an assesment yet.

I fear that it's the Boris character that so many people like. :(

At this time of national crisis we don't want a po-faced leader who will attempt to drag the UK through the nightmare that will a no-deal Brexit - otherwise we'd still have Theresa May.

Instead what we want is a posh man-child who will make us all laugh with his shambolic performance and smattering of Latin tags because after all it's more English to exude an impression of effortless ineptitude and fail than it is to be seen to be working hard and maybe just possibly succeeding. :mad:

We don't want a leader to take us through Brexit, we want a clown to distract us from the disastrous consequences of it. :(
 
Boris may be planning to change the Fixed Term Election law so he can still force an early election. He only needs a simple majority to do that. Sorry, not Boris. He never plans anything. Dom would be the one planning that.

He no longer has a simple majority.

He has lost every vote he has had so far. He has nil chance of getting this one through.

He is so used to people rolling in the aisles with him.
He seems to be struggling with the fact that his current audience are not finding him funny. He is not used to not being loved.

If only we had the chance!

Yesterday, just as a thought exercise, I ranked the 12 UK Regions in descending order of percentage support for Remain, and basically, if you still included all the votes for the lower ones that had a slight Leave majority, overall Remain still had a majority across the top six - 9,032,501 against 7,973,244:

Scotland
Greater London
Northern Ireland
South East England
Wales
South West England/Gibraltar

Maybe the Midlands and North of England should just leave. Mind you, that would scupper our plans to move "back" to Hull in a few years....

Farage is like a mosquito - seems important, but is really just an irritation.

It was notable that yesterday he was banging on about being able to stand a candidate in just about every Parliamentary constituency, but was quick to say that, if Boris gets absolutely assures them a No Deal Brexit, they will not oppose the Tories at a GE.

Labour and other UK opposition parties have agreed not to back the PM’s demand for a general election before October's EU summit.

Labour, the Lib Dems, the SNP and Plaid Cymru say they will vote against or abstain in Monday's vote on whether to hold a snap poll.

The SNP's Ian Blackford said they wanted to make sure the UK did not crash out in a no-deal Brexit.

But the PM said the parties were making an "extraordinary political mistake".

He probably should have thought of that BEFORE he kicked out 20 odd MPs.

Do we need to go through this AGAIN for the slow learners? :)

I underestimated Jeremy Corbyn's political nous :o, I thought he would jump at the bait.

If your political opponent is claiming that you have made a mistake then you've probably done the right thing.

Can BoJo stand on no deal as his preferred option when he is still pretending to be negotiating with the EU?

What is the reason for not wanting to have it now?
