Brexit

[Gill W]

If he's not an idiot, surely he could have come up with something better when asked what he does to relax.

Making buses out of crates and painting little passengers on them? REALLY.?

Ah but he didn't reveal that he also writes lets give £350 million to the NHS on them.

You do realise that he is playing us, don't you Gill.
In a nutshell, he's staying schtum about his private life.
He's having a laugh at the journalist's expense.
I'm awaiting the next outrageous statement.

[Gill W]

True, Barney.

The quesrtion is, are the members of the Conservative Party happy to have a leader who couldn't give a straight answer to a straight question, even if his life depended on it.

I think they are

[Mervyn and Trish]

Well that's been the case with most leaders of most parties and indeed most politicians for the last 50 years!

[Manoverboard]

The question is indeed for the Conservative Party Members to answer and when they do it will be a resounding victory for Boris given that they will be perfectly capable of seeing through the garbage presently being spouted, in fact it is possible that it will even increase his share of the vote.

The also rans will then need to find another sad little prop to lean on .

I do hope there is more credibility to the story that the Hornets want Aaron Mooy, than in your defense of Boris?

Boris will defend Boris without any help from me and the Hornets have no deal in place for yon Mooy

[Mervyn and Trish]

Personally I hope Boris wins. Then he will either deliver a good Brexit or he and it will be history.

I don't think the removal van needs to be too far away if he does get in once there is a general election.

Personally I feel Hunt will get in. .....no not me. Who in their right mind would want that job.

[Quizzical Bob]

It always amuses me when folk deride public figures as idiots or buffoons.

If we look at the facts, Johnson is an elected MP, ex mayor of London twice (reelected) again elected as MP, Telegraph columnist earning 700 k a year.

Devicive yes.
Outspoken yes.
Self promoting yes.

But idiot and buffoon?
Highly unlikely.

Caveat. I am not a Johnson fan.

He was a disaster as mayor of London.
Nobody there has a good word to say about him.

And yes, he is a buffoon of the highest order as well as a habitual liar.

Bob, you must frequent a very closed community in London, we have several relatives living and working in London, they yearn to get back to the days when Boris was in charge, rather than the idiot they currently have.

[barney]

He as elected and then re-elected.

Hardly showing that he was a disaster.

If you can't stand the guy, then fine, but to post pure lies says more about you than it does about Johnson.

By the way, Khan is also NOT an idiot.

I don’t post lies, never have and never will.

I was born in London and I have many relatives there still. Their views are unprintable.

Johnson is a serial liar. An example is when he got stuck on that zip wire. They asked him his weight so that the tension could be adjusted accordingly. He gave an answer that was way under his true weight. There are plenty of other examples.

I have never mentioned Khan.

[oldbluefox]

In truth Bob, you don't have to look far to find there is a great difference between what most politicians say, what is truth or reflects their true intentions. I don't think Boris is any different.
Any electorate which votes in the likes of Corbyn, Abbott, Lammy, Butler, Thornberry & Co are not going to be supporting Boris so it should not be too difficult to find his detractors whatever their political stance.
I take whatever they say with a huge pinch of salt.

[Manoverboard]

Boris must be a really bad person if he lies about his weight

I wonder how many people actually do know their true weight, I cannot remember the last time I stood on the scales but if weight is so important on a zip wire ride then scales should surely be installed at the point of embarkation.

[oldbluefox]

Before our PC days try asking a lady her age or her weight......... just saying

Happy to see Olly Robbins has gone before he was pushed.

That seems a bit of a lightweight example of a serial liar QB, go on try and make amends with a REAL lie!!!

Perhaps not a lie, more a factual inaccuracy.

I was also born in London and still know many people living there: the majority view is that he did a better job (with a good back-up team) than both his predecessor and his successor. That doesn't mean he's fit to run the country in normal circumstances, but normal circumstances these are not.

[Ray Scully]

Well as appears likely he will be the next PM, Question time should be 'interesting'

[Manoverboard]

It will, for me anyway, be far more interesting what he does about Brexit than how he performs on QT …. just saying .

Interesting! an understatement Moby, But back to more important matters, can we get the 224 runs this afternoon to beat the Aussies and get a place in the final.

Sorry Ray, no idea …. cricket for me is as interesting as listening to John Major talking about constitutional milestones

I do worry about the lack of sporting interest and knowledge shown by some members of this forum.
P.S. I am certainly enjoying it So far.
