Boris booed off the stage at the French Embassy tonight apparently. Strong start.

Booed, but not off the stage. Too many diplomats there for that.

This from Johnson
We are not leaving Europe. It would be geographically, physically, culturally, emotionally and historically impossible for the UK to leave Europe. That is not our destiny. That is not our future."

is going to disappoint a few people straight off.

Those few people who struggle to differentiate between Europe and the EU. They also tend to be the ones who need help tying their shoelaces.
 
Well it seems like Mr Davis thinks Brexit is more about keeping immigrants out than it is about making the UK more competitive internationally :rolleyes:

Mr Davis said the "ideal outcome" would be "continued tariff-free access" to the EU single market, adding: "Once the European nations realise we will not budge on control of our borders, they will want to talk, in their own interests.

Looks like we're going to have challenges during negotiations:

Mr Letwin, who was fired by Mrs May when she took over, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that because the EU had led trade talks with other countries since 1973, "we do not have trade negotiators", adding: "Trade negotiators who are Brits at the moment are basically working for the EU."

As Dara O'Briain said on Mock the Week, they're going to be expensive hires because they're really good at negotiating ;)

I think this express article and especially the comments below pretty much typifies the sorry state of politics, public opinion and the media in the UK right now.

No kidding. Many commenters totally missed the Scottish PM's 'preggie' look! No eye for proper style in the UK anymore. Apparently, too many pinkies are staying down when holding the teacup, in my mind. That cuts the connection to UKIP's Bulldog Radio.
 
Another gem from Leadsom (part of the original Times mothergate interview, it seems):

Men should not be hired to look after young children because of the risk they might be paedophiles, Andrea Leadsom has said.

She's so utterly stupid. Fathers on my facebook are going ape-shaped over this.

And now she's in charge of saving the badgers. We're doomed, Captain Mainwaring, doomed.

I didn't even know Leadsom until the EU debate. I think my reaction is on the brexit thread somewhere. She's an idiot. How she got to where she is now God only knows. I'd assumed she must be UKIP initially.

In my humble opinion that's how Theresa May is planning to stay in EU. Promise to leave, have the most prominent Leaver screw things up so completely Brexit becomes impossible for UK, then wash the blood off her hands.

Either that, or I want what she's smoking.

Hey, I made a very similar post on a different forum ;). I fully agree with the assessment I am just worrying that the "screwing up" part may include a deep recession for both EU and UK.
