Most liked posts in thread: Boris and Trump

These people moaning hysterically about Proroguing and taking away temporarily the powers of Parliament, are the same people who wish to hand over those powers to the EU permanently, allowing laws passed by Parliament to be overruled by the European Court of Justice. You couldnt make it up

John McDonnell denouncing Boris for acting like a dictator, this from a man who worships Stalin.

Dianne Abbott likening Boris to a Latin American dictator, isnt Castro one of her heroes?

The Left Wingers have certainly made me laugh this weekend with their hypocrisy

 

He is win at all costs, powerful and is highly intelligent ( and lazy ) He will either be brilliant or a disaster, No one knows which yet

 

Intelligent? You mustn’t have ever heard him talk.

He’s a populist figurehead, tories clutching at straws. A ‘likeable buffoon’ etc. Sadly, it’ll probably work though, especially in this day and age. The people round him will be doing all the work and plastering over all his fck ups.

 

The BBC breakfast team with their usual biased anti Boris this morning.

Instead of a fair debate about Boris Johnson, they had some SNP clown and Chuka Umuna sat together ripping Boris apart in unison. What a joke that Umuna is, is it 3 or 4 parties he has been in recently?

 

Corbyn will be careful to lose a vote of no confidence, He is now worried because like him or not Boris has a habit of winning elections, Corbyn at his age only has one chance of winning an election he will not want to waste it, Nervous times for Corbyn with those who want his job waiting

 

To level that at Corbyn and not Boris is a bit much, Boris flip flopped very publicly many times about whether he wanted to leave or remain and has a much more established reputation for being economical with the truth. We now have a home secretary who got sacked for breaking the Ministerial Code, which to my recollection Abbott has never done. Patel also believes that the British are amongst the worst idlers in the world (direct quote from a book she co-authored), a ridiculous statement given we work some of the longest hours in Western Europe. The simple reality is in terms of competence, these people are the exact same level as their counterparts on the left as after nearly 10 years, any administration begins to run out of talent and ideas.

Swanson though is muppet extraordinaire, Lib dems hold an election for leader and elect another tory!

 

They are all as bad IMO, the only reason I'm backing Boris is he COULD be the only person to possibly deliver Brexit, although with Tory resignations their majority being 1 at the moment plus 75% of MPs not wanting to come out of the EU I honestly can't see it happening, we shall see.

 

Good post, However I feel a deal will be done in some way, I notice one of the Irish ministers has mentioned a time limit on the backstop, The Irish Republic are desperate for support as they fear a no deal the most but also have the most to gain from a deal, The EU leaders and main members like Germany are supportive in public but behind the scenes there is many a slip between cup and lip where politics are involved, One thing for sure if anyone can carry it off it is Boris

 

The civil service always gets nervous when a politician tries to run the country they have run and controlled for over 100 years, Ministers are usually soon trained and brought in to the fold to allow the civil service mandarins to run things, Interesting that one famous minister said of his time in office that the civil service handed him the levers of power to operate but then disconnected them at the other end, You can always tell a good prime / ministers because the civil service complain and brief against them, The weak ones are no threat so they are usually praised

 

They have to time it right, If they bring the motion back and lose it then the ruling is it cannot be brought back again in this parliament, So lose it and they are goosed and unable to stop our exit with or without a deal, Boris now with the Parliament on holiday until September has one ace up his sleeve, If you call an election then parliament is suspended for 6 weeks so if the leave date is within this period it will go through automatically

 

Boris is (thankfully) leaving the bedwetting remainers and moderates in his wake, it's up to them to get real and follow the master....

 

Boris + Trump, The dream team bringing sense to the world,

 

I disagree. The left are the biggest self loathers going.

Royals, army, foreign policy, our history... The hard left despise everything British.

 

With respect, the right have a completely rose tinted and false view of our history. We did a lot of good but just as much bad in the world and to pretend otherwise is ignorant of the facts. Same with foreign policy, as much as those on the right would like to have us believe we just run around shooting democracy out the end of our guns at people. As for the military, I support brave people willing to defend our country but what I don't support is those same people being sent to die for causes that aren't just and true. Many left wing folk will say the exact the same but again it gets conflated with some weird I hate the army view when a lot of us really don't.

Also, why do you conflate the left with hard left given I haven't done that with the right? They aren't interchangeable terms you know.

 

You know what..? it might come as a surprise to you but I no longer give a flying f*** what you and your socialist, communist, marxists mates think..!!
When me ,Boris and my mate Nige take over we will be shipping all you lot plus the extinction rebellion anarchists off to enjoy the delights of China, North Korea and Venezuala etc....
Bring it on............ooooh, that felt good...........

 

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek or not, but it is a pretty grim comment either way.

 

There is something in this. Trust in politicians has hit an all time low, the conservatives have seen us through a disastrous brexit so far yet what is the alternative? Corbyn and his wonderful world that doesn't exist? Give me a break. The bloke has made the easiest victory arguably in the history of politics pretty much unattainable. He's right that the country is more divided than ever, unfortunately he's part of the reason it is.

 

I'm not a Corbyn supporter either just to add some more clarity. I think we need policies in that sort of direction (nationalising the rail and utilities etc as all we're doing now is subsidising cheap public transport and utilies abroad) but it needs a figure less divisive than Corbyn to actually get those policies across to the people properly. When the electorate are polled on what policies labour offers without being told they're labour policies, they're very popular indeed. Which tells me its a branding/personnel issue on the left so to speak.

 

If you have a few minutes to spare have a watch of this Alice Weidel says it all and does realise which country it will effect the most Germany who pay the largest contribution now, she explains that there is no winners only losers the way the EU have gone about the process, even quoting France and Macron having too much involvement.
Quoting Barnier "My mission will have been successful when the terms are so brutal for the British that they prefer to stay in the Union".

 

@Hulmebantam it should never have come to this yes I can see why the EU are trying to make it virtually impossible to leave without major concessions they want to make the UK an example to the other 27 who might think of leaving in the future.
What I do find annoying is that they keep saying the deal is the deal and Boris can't try renegotiating another, yet that deal was never ratified by Parliament even if May was party to it and signed it on behalf of the British people, that was the very reason Dominic Raab resigned and would not put his signature to the so called "Chequers Deal".
A no deal is far from ideal for all parties involved but as I posted on the very day the deal was put to Parliament, no sovereign government would sign up to the backstop, there is still time to adjust the backstop the question is have the EU the will to adjust it, especially when the EU have openly stated if we leave without a deal from the EU, there would need to be a hard border between the two countries in Ireland.
Yet the Irish government has repeated its stance that it will "not accept a hard border on this island", then Leo Varadkar goes on to say: "Regardless of Brexit, the British government will always have responsibilities as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement to ensure that, even in a no deal, there will not be a return to a border." which ironically is the part of the backstop the UK government and the vast amount of sitting MPs won't accept.
