In 2017 may patronised the electorate too much. Boris's lack of substance may take him the same way. I am not at all sure undecided voters wouldnt blame boris more, not least for the financial haemorrhage we may be beginning to witness
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Bojo may promise a lot but delivers little until now, beside the £1 billion extra cash to prepare for WTO brexit and it's still not all spent.
It shows that he's much better than TM at electioneering.
Remainers need MPs like Jeremy Hunt and Rory Stewart to fight Bojo.
Most financial decisions will create winners and losers but would Bojo screw it up? don't be so sure, and it will take years to happen, if at all. The Pound loses ground at the moment because of uncertainty but it will soon recover I think.
Perhaps it stems from us being on different parts of the political spectrum (I dont mind a corbyn government). One thing I would say is that hubris did it for may. And boris has truckloads of that. As well as dodgy emotionally unstable advisors with serious narcissistic issues (Cummings, May had that too). The term groupthink doesnt come close to describing how badly this combination can go wrong.
Excellent news I hope he gets a large majority and its a no deal
Well it was on his site and I saw it there, but these days who is to say he actually posted it?
Someone could perhaps have set him up?
And considering this video, I'm not surprised at anything he says
After all if you confuse the Red Sea with the Irish Sea, you are better qualified that Boris to be Foreign Secretary.

He has deleted it now, but too late..

I think the reason the pound is dropping is not uncertainty, but increasing certainty,that there will be a Crashout.
I'm shocked. I had no idea you had changed your mind over Brexit.
I'd got you down as the most stubborn & intransigent man to have ever existed, incapable, even for one pico-second, of entertaining the tiniest "cell level" filament of an alternative viewpoint. Clearly, as shown by your recent decision to back leave and no-deal, I was wrong.

I still think that on balance of probability, A50 will be extended yet again until end of this year.
If parliament ratifies the WA, it'll need time to pass secondary legislation.
if not, it's because parliament votes for no confidence. In that case, A50 will need to be extended.
They won't screw it up this time.
But I am of the belief there will not be a ge. I'm at millbank tomorrow so will ask Laura and John what they reckon.
Woosh, The UK has run out of rope on this one. The EU might be willing .. although not a slam dunk, to extend the extension yet again, if there were a decision from the UK,and stating No No Deal does not cut it. Also the UK has to REQUEST the extension, and who speaks for the UK if not the PM?. If the UK were by some miracle or catastrophe (depending on ones view point),to enact the WA, then,any extension would be irrelevant as the negotiations would be moving into the next phase.
Very droll! You have known all along that the only reason I like the idea of a no deal brexit is for it to provide the fastest route back into the EU due to the harm it will do.I'm shocked. I had no idea you had changed your mind over Brexit.

Since cancelling brexit simply isn't going to happen I have supported this idea since the early days after the referendum.
I appreciate your attempt at humour, though
OG was the only one at the start of this thread to correctly predict that the referendum would be won by Leave.I'm shocked. I had no idea you had changed your mind over Brexit.

And since then he's consistently said he hopes we do leave to teach the leave voters a lesson with the consequences. That's partly what he's doing in the post you answered, not becoming a leaver himself.
There's far more to OG than many in this thread realise.
.
Dont like to dampen your chips OG but it wasnt humour. It was as near to factual as we get on here.
Oh, yes ofcourse, he picked winner in a 2 horse race. Nostradamus lives in Hull and sells bogs for a living.
To be fair to Gerald he has posted more on here than Nostradamus wrote in Les Prophities, when you post so much, something by laws of averages must be right. His sharing out of fishing cash was one of his low ebbs.
