Fifteen minutes later, the prime ministerial limo pulled up and Johnson shambled his way to the wooden lectern. This was his big moment. The one he'd been waiting for all his life. The one he had lied, backstabbed and cheated to get his hands on. Here was his chance to make the speech of his life. To amaze and engage. But then, why break the habit of a lifetime?

Johnson waved his arms randomly in the air, as if someone was giving him electric shocks, and began babbling. "Pifflepafflewifflewaffle," he began. Meet the new bollocks. The same as the old bollocks. It was basically all the fault of the 48% who had voted remain that the country was in the state it was in. The gloomsters and the doomsters had just got to learn to cheer up a bit and believe in some blue-remembered-hills version of Blighty. There's nothing more guaranteed to make you depressed than to be told to be optimistic by a narcissistic fantasist. A man you wouldn't trust to do the shopping, let alone run a government.

I'm shocked that the Grauniad is anti Boris.

It could be worse. We could have Corbyn and Abbott in charge.

Kid, you're letting your fascist flag fly a little too blatantly. Fuck off with this shit. Neither of those two have had any failures on the level that Borris or any of his cabinet have had, actually include the entire Tory party. On top of that they're not racist homophobic shits.

This is the same trick America fell for with that "He's better than HIlary" bullshit.

A very popular thought though. People seem to think Corbyn would destroy the UK somehow and is worse than any alternative, even this new mob. I don't get it, I don't like him at all and some of his colleagues but how can it be worse.

I would love to see the shit show of a GE without Brexit being solved, the manifestos would be crazy town, obvious BS unless they told the truth. If they included unicorns and the same old god help us.

Scary. Honestly I'm baffled how anyone not wealthy manages to vote tory.



Also Amber Rudd is one evil women. The way she switched her no deal brexit position just to keep her job was nothing short of shameful.

My parents, who are actually slightly left of centre yet somehow keep fucking voting Tory, have taken to saying "Comrade Corbyn". I want to know where they're getting this from. Probably Facebook adverts and sponsored posts.

Scotland its time to start demanding independence. Westminster might not want to give you another referendum but it's time to make it known you want out.

Hopefully this whole shitshow will also lead the reunification of Ireland as NI are not going to come out of this in any good shape at all.

The next three months are going to be wild.


Nah.

Prep for no deal, make money for himself and friends via private contracts, board positions down the line etc. Doesn't care if the EU blinks they won't.

Same as above, perhaps cares if parliament blinks as it gets him out a hole taking no responsibility for not being able to do the impossible, a unicorn Brexit deal with those red lines and still gets to profit off no deal preparations.

Possibly rides parliament stopping no deal into a GE to gain a majority with outrage Brexit voters but probably hopes he would lose so he doesn't have to deliver Brexit.

Still think he wants some easy profit and then running away when it goes south but has being PM on his lapel for the rest of life as good enough.

How exactly? Johnson is committed to No Deal and has appointed a bunch of liars, cheats and alleged criminals to the cabinet while being in the thrall of Bannon, Murdoch and desperate to kiss the ring of Trump. The UK will be Landing Strip 1 and Tories will still be screaming CORBYN as if he could make the situation any worse at that point.

My parents will defend Boris' constant blatant racism but call Corbyn antisemitic. The media's played a huge role in doom mongering against Corbyn's 'small' mistakes (small in comparison at least whilst ignoring the bigger issues like him being pro-Brexit) whilst brushing the Tory's many travesties and blatant racism under the rug.

Mine aren't that bad but they think of Corbyn as the sort of that socialist to a fault, money down the drain, corruption feeding the top, longest serving and just generally forgoing any responsibility and making it difficult to change things. They don't vote Tory allegedly, sure my dad doesn't but my mum is a bit of a headline melon and has lunch with one or two Mail reading friends but gladly my Dad spoke up about that garbage ,Express, Telegraph and said don't fall for it, facts etc.

Idiots like you throw the word fascist around as if anyone who's not a lefty is a Nazi. It's ridiculous and you make yourself look silly. It's the same as calling anyone on the left a communist. Nice patronising use of the word "kid" as well. You seem like a proper cunt.

The absolute last thing the eu want is for the uk to leave without a deal.
The absolute last thing the EU wants is it's political and economic structures to unravel.
If it would take to burn the British economy to the ground to save itself, then that's what the EU would and should do.

Giving Britain preferential treatment would endanger the union, therefore the " leverage " is completely worthless.

you're arguing with someone who unprovoked decided to bring up Diane Abbott. Don't waste your time.

Comparing Corbyn and Abbot to anything the current tripe of cabinet ministers have done, or are ideologically aligned to, is also ridiculous and silly, unless you have anything to back that up?

Explain, otherwise this is just trolling and the post should be reported.

Corbyn isn't even trusted by many in his own party. He's sat on the fence during much of the Brexit years. Anyone competent would have Labour fucking miles ahead by now. He also showed his true colors by snubbing Trump but lapping up a state visit by the Chinese who have probably the worst human rights record on the planet. I could go on but I can't be arsed. Abbott is not competent. She also unfortunately is the subject of some horrendous abuse that people would be locked up for if they weren't hiding on twitter, so I'll leave my criticism of her at that.

Hey, I'd rather seem like a proper cunt than somebody who'd clearly side with far right regimes over the moderate left because you're sure as fuck gobbling up the current propaganda with the Abbot comment. Hence why you chose to respond to me and none of the folks calling that out specifically.

Hence why you couldn't even be bothered enough to try and Google a better reason here and just left us with a vague "not competent".

Edit: I wasn't going to defend the Corbyn shit because it's not worth it, but let's compare the ills of the current government such as Grenfell, Windrush, and the lowered standard of living that's killed so many of the countries most vulnerable people.

Not Trusted: Wins leadership elections, most rivals are firmly in the New Labour camp. Plus you're saying this when the Tory party is tearing itself apart.
Sat on Brexit: The Tories literally caused it to start with, have handled it disastrously, and have given power to someone who wants no deal.
Anyone competent: There's zero evidence that points to this. The last candidate was sunk by a fuckin' bacon sarnie. Plus the current leadership kinda suggests people don't care about 'competence'.
Banquets: It would have been nice to have him boycott the Xi Banquet but talking to evil people is a part of politics. I think he specifically didn't meet with Trump due to his racist attacks on Sadiq Khan. Literally none of the Tory's would have boycotted either for any reason nor would most of Labour. Also I don't whatever happens at a banquet quite compares to letting people die.
Abbot: I'm guessing you could go on but can't think of anything not racist and are too lazy to desperately Google a 'legitimate' reason.

Corbyn's far from perfect but like fuck would he be worse than what we currently have.

Edit 2: Oh, and I called you kid because you have boy in your name.
