YOUR GUIDE TO THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER.

NAME: Boris Johnson
AGE: 54
ABOUT: Looks like several dogs standing on each other's shoulders and wearing a coat in an attempt to get into a cinema to watch a film about a bum that's come to life.
Looks like what would happen if the moon lost its job and started sleeping rough around Milton Keynes and stealing suits from outside the British Heart Foundation charity shop.
Called black people "flag waving piccaninnies with watermelon smiles and said they were thick compared with "orientals"and accused the president of Turkey of ******* a goat. Basically says the sort of stuff your Grandad would say if you thwacked him around the head with a dildo until he got brain damage.

NAME: Michael Gove
AGE: 51
ABOUT: Looks like a man who's taken off his space helmet on Mars and has seconds left to live.
A man so devoid of integrity that he doesn't even have any in or around his own chin.
A man who looks like a haunted ventriloquist dummy that's been carved out of a turnip by a paedophile.
Michael Gove looks like he's had his face cut off by a serial killer and then used as a sort of mitt to extract honey from a bee hive before having it carelessly tossed back onto his skull by someone in a hurry.
Jogs around London like someone who's just killed, ****** and eaten (in that order) a woman in a local park.
After his time as Education Secretary, he's now less popular with teachers than chicken pox and headlice.

NAME: Dominic Raab
AGE: 45
ABOUT: Looks like someone in the middle of a compound nervous breakdown who's stapled a bunch of wafer thin ham onto their own head before going on a rampage in a South London train station armed with a machete.
Says that the average food bank user is taking the ****, feminists are obnoxious bigots and that the NHS is a childish wish list.
The sort of **** he comes out with makes you wonder if his forehead is a prosthetic mass of putty placed there to cover up his ******* horns.
Even his name looks like it's probably some sort of anagram of an ancient, malevolent demon from Mesopotamia.

NAME: Jeremy Hunt
AGE: 52
ABOUT: A man who's done so much damage to the National Health Service he makes Dr Harold Shipman look like Florence Nightingale.
A man who looks like he'd rohypnol his closest friends at a dinner party and sell their organs on the back market.
His wry, smug, smile looks like it should be accompanied by the sound of a high court judge lambasting him for his lack of remorse at the end of harrowing and disturbing court case.
Hunt is a man who is referred to as Jeremy **** every single time his name is mentioned on the news due to the sheer power of word association and unconscious, Freudian, impulses.

NAME: Sajid Javid
AGE: 49
ABOUT: A man with a perfectly round head who's skull will presumably one day be displayed in Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum causing future anthropologists to even question its authenticity.
A man who stands with such a wide power stance, in an attempt to evoke authority, that he looks like he's just had a fire extinguisher pushed up his arse by a bear.
He's constantly voted for tougher immigration and benefit cuts like some sort of ****, despite recognising that those people threatened with deportation could have been his parents.
He's kicked down more ladders than a ******* scaffolder.

NAME: Jacob Rees-Mogg
AGE: 49
ABOUT: he looks like a drawing of Postman Pat that's been scratched into the side of a spinning Jenny by a Victorian chimney sweep. And not in a good way.
He looks like a 19th Century steam engine salesman who spends his evenings drowning children in the lake at the bottom of his garden and reciting incantations from Aleister Crowley's Satanic Bible.
He looks like what might happen if Adolf Hitler was ever reincarnated in the form of the Windows 95 'helpful paperclip' and sent back 200 years through a wormhole to campaign against the abolition of the slave trade.
The kind of simpering, hat-wringing simpletons who support Jacob-Rees-Mogg are the types of people who camp outside Buckingham Palace for 3 days, crying and waving their Union Jack flags whilst awaiting the arrival of a royal baby, whilst back in their bedsit - littered with Sprite bottle containing their own **** - the eviction notices continue to rain through the letterbox. Unaware of the irony and devoid of hope. These are the worst humans in the world. Evolved, miraculously from the types of people who ran into gunfire during the Crimean War because a man with a handlebar moustache who went to Cambridge told them to.
******* hell.

LOL! I'm guessing this is Frankie Boyles genius?

I can't understand why so many in here have allowed themselves to be brainwashed by the right wing media into thinking Corbyn is a bogeyman. In truth he's no different from the left wingers in Attlees government, and they only did good which we all still benefit from.
.
I think I have said before my problem is not with most of Labours policies my problem is with him, I don't think he is PM material (I never thought May was either). I watched Tom Watson on the Marr programme this morning now I think if he was leader then Labour would win the next GE with a big majority.

Watson was good but got himself entangled with the pedo stuff. I'm not saying he was wrong. And many, many clues and accusations say he was right. But he was ultimately proved incorrect. His judgment is flawed. He is now utterly focused and from what I hear obsessed with his weight loss. He is not pm material.

Brown lite.

Watson wrote this in the Guardian seems to make good sense to me, shame JC wouldn't write something similar. The two advisors pulling his strings probably wouldn't let him.

That was a very sensitive and sensible argument he presented. However I feel it is now out of time. The logical thing to do now would be to revoke the A50 letter, with an apology. The apology could be on the grounds that it was premature. That would allow the kind of breathing space to allow the type of internal debate he is advocating (and I suggested earlier) to take place.
The option still exists and will exist indefinitely for the UK to leave, they could at some future date . A UK population assured of getting a second bite, should be amenable. That assumes of course is that the current remainders do not get triumphant and shout We won,you lost, ..

even with a customs union, the border problem won't go away completely.
The issue with collecting import duty for the EU is solved, regulatory compliance and VAT collection are still outstanding. Businesses have to pay VAT on arrival, submit customs declaration for VAT and claim back VAT paid.
I send bikes to the Channel Island, it's in a similar situation.

That's why I posted "largely assures the smooth flow of traffic" .

So not completely solved, but very much better.

Labour never pick the right man though, remember them landing Ed Miliband instead of David?

And although Clement Attlee's qualities are recognised now, before he was elected he looked very unlikely as PM material. Churchill ridiculed him, saying he was a modest man, with much to be modest about. He only got in because the public had had more then enough of Churchill and the public wanted change.

Don't you think we need change now? I say instead of looking for every opportunity to attack Corbyn, give him a chance to try. Restrained by EU rules, our own laws, the civil service, his own MPs and the opposition, he won't be able to do much damage, probably less than the current bunch of incompetents. He may well do a lot of good, including the nationalisation of rail and water that he intends.

Why is the kid with no legs one of the main commentators on the C4-F1? I can only assume it's because he has no legs. Otherwise? How come?

They're asking him for his 'expert experience' on stuff. Huh? He's a fuuuking kid for Christs sake.
He's young but not a kid, he'll be 20 on 5th May this year and, despite that age, has over 16 years of motor racing experience.

It's a sympathy job of course, meant as a slight compensation for the loss of both legs which wrecked his intended career in F class racing, and as praise for his incredibly positive attitude to the loss.

It's one of the kind things that many humans are prone to do.

@50Hertz you can be a commentator at that age because he went through the rigmarole of getting to that level. He knows. It's the same as the cricket lad for England. @oyster will know who I am talking about. He had a bad heart but still knows his graham's

Have you seen what most of the Shadow Cabinet are like? If you are a hard left supporter then you get a job in it no matter if you are totally unsuitable to run a Government dept.

I suspect if JC does become PM then some of those Shadow Cabinet members will make failing Grayling look like a genius. Or probably more likely the Civil Servants will be rubbing their hands together because they will be running rings around them.

Having said all this when it comes to a GE I will probably hold my nose and vote Labour and hope as you say JC turns out to be an awful lot better as a PM than he has been as leader of the opposition.

Politicians don't need to be well educated or clever, they only need the right instincts and intentions to be good. The civil service do the bit that needs education and skills.

In case you didn't see it before, read this post of mine.

Is that OJ is totally unfamiliar with what humans do?. ... There is a John Prine song .. Some humans ain't Human

Do all Irish people hate you?

You are of course welcome here and on all UK sites. But it's so weird. I've looked at your post history. It's 99.6% on this forum.

If you were Russian @flecc would call you a bot.

I've so taken the time to see the content of your posts. On 23 occasions you have inferred English people are stupid. But made pains to say Scots are not. Though you have said the Welsh deserve what they get.

You are an agitivist.

I Bet you have sympathies to the ira.

You really could not have been more wrong, Danidl has absolutely no sympathies for them. Quite the opposite as his posts content makes clear.

He seems to say many platitudes.

Tommie has his number.

He is lord Haw Haw.

Have you seen the candidates in Newport (Gwent)? Parties represented are:

Plaid Cymru, Renew, Conservative, Ukip, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SDP, For Britain, Abolish the Welsh Assembly, Democrats and Veterans, Green

Wonder what on earth will happen if a GE is called. Might give you so many more options than Con/Lab. :)
