In the Telegraph
The man who has sold his soul for American Gold speaks
"
Our democracy is being overthrown by the EU’s Hideous Strength

Hang on a minute, who said it was all going to be a pushover to leave the EU with a deal?
Conclusion; he's a bigger liar even than Boris if that's possible.
And what does the "Hideous strength" the EU amount to?

When you threaten them they say "No thank you, this is our offer?"

Brexit bombshell: Boris sends EU warning - ‘The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets'
BORIS JOHNSON has sent a dramatic warning to the EU and Remainers in Parliament as he warned “the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets”.



Speaking to the Mail on Sunday Mr Johnson used compared Brexit to the efforts of superhero Bruce Banner, better known as The Hulk.

He commented: “Banner might be bound in manacles, but when provoked he would explode out of them.

“Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be – and that is the case for this country.

“We will come out on October 31 and we will get it done.”

So now he is comparing himself with a out of control mindless and violent moron?

A demonstration of the way lies are passed off as truth by Bexiteers in this case Bridgen


What was the lie?
Bridgen telling lies. Just like BoJo, he has a tell. In his case, he looks at the ground as he claims UK has 2nd biggest pharma in the world.... in fact, not even 2nd in EU. And, apparently, grossly over-staffed & inefficient when compared to RoI, which IS 2nd, to the UK.


But of course the people who "Know what they voted for" are confident in their heros to the point of never checking aren't they?

Tell them you will never walk away from whatever deal they put forward. Let them know how much you want house and make sure they know every thing you will bring up in negotiations before hand. Its the OG way of getting best deal.

Do you think telling them you will walk away will work better?
They will simply say suit yourself, plenty of other mugs.
Next!
Tell me what made you try to try to score Brownie points in this way?
And insult me all at the same time? I have met similar conceited individuals in the many negotiations my job required, they got the best response by acting in a reasonable manner, not being loud and threatening
Only a complete idiot undermines their negotiating position in that way, and merely makes those they are trying to dominate by this infantile approach more certain they have a potential loser opposing them.
It is in fact a sign not of confidence, but desperation.
Go into a negotiation with your attitude and come out the loser is the reality of life.

Regarding the theft of the Toilet made in 18ct Gold.
A normal toilet of that form factor weighs between 60 to 80 lbs
That is with an average ware thickness of between 8 to 10 mm
The toilet stolen would have weighed in the region of 500 lbs or more if it replicated that
A 66-year-old man has been arrested over the theft of the fully-functioning toilet

Either the toilet was of very thin construction, or the thieves came with the ability to lift a heavy weight and move it safely.
Unfortunately, police have nothing to go on.

Quite amazing how his much vaunted classical education ends up with him using a Marvel Comics character. Not Jason, Odysseus, or any of the vast pantheon of Greek (and Roman) heroes.

I note:

Opinion polls late on Saturday painted a conflicting picture of the Conservative Party's political fortunes under Johnson, who wants to hold an early election to regain a working majority in parliament.

A poll conducted by Opinium for the Observer newspaper showed Conservative support rose to 37% from 35% over the past week, while Jeremy Corbyn's Labour held at 25% and Liberal Democrat support dropped to 16% from 17%. Support for Nigel Farage's Brexit Party remained at 13%.

However, a separate poll by ComRes for the Sunday Express put Conservative support at just 28%, down from 30% and only a shade ahead of Labour at 27%.

ComRes said just 12% of the more than 2,000 people it survey thought Britain's parliament could be trusted to do the right thing for the country.

Bojo said of himself when giving advice to young student a week or so ago, he spent more time getting drunk. As for his classical education, he got a 2:1, his brother Jo got a first. Of course he does not consider himself a swot.

Oh that works only when there is only one house in walking distance, and you don't have a car, or even an ebike, its the only one with shop next door and in the good neighbourhood , and when they already know, to the pound what your income and prospects are, and will want you anyway, because you play violin and their string quartet is a member shy.and if you don't come, that dreadful grunge band might get in instead,with their horrible rendering of the Chicken song. The Housing Coop want you for these reasons into their sheltered accommodation,but cannot reduce their price below economic value,or all the prior sales will also collapse.

if you are truly prepared to walk away from a negotiation, you wouldn't broadcast it.
Carry a big stick by all means but keep it inconspicuous.

My point exactly
Professing you are prepared to walk away simply marks you as a timewaster and undermines goodwill

crunch time on 19-October?

No 10 undisclosed source to the Guardian:

“We expect there to be a major court battle immediately after the 19th of October and attempts to pass legislation revoking article 50” .
