Boris Johnson has described Macron the French Leader as
" A jumped up Napoleon " and of Leo Varadkar the Irish PM he said
" why isnt he called Murphy like all the rest of them ?? "
Should be great craic when he becomes PM and visits Paris and especially Dublin and Cork,. If they let him in. Or then let him back out ??
They need Muck Spreaders in west Cork .!!

I thought that Trump was bad, but Boris is worse! :sad:
I’ve just read this on FB:
Brexit: The vote to take back what we never lost in order to lose everything we currently have.
-
Boris the Clown blames Brussels for the Kipper rules but it was imposed by the UK and not Brussels.
Is he a Muppet or what.
-
Love the quote, Annie!
How is it that he puts foot into mouth on such a regular basis without checking the facts, yet he is soon to be the UK's next PM? Do people not see he is just a buffoon and the position is too important to have a joke leading Brexit?
-
Ah Boris, how to make friends and influence people.
As for Trump, did you see that rally the other day. The crowd were chanting in agreement to the awful things he said about the 4 congresswomen. Trump is in charge of a lunatic asylum and he is the sickest there. 😡
-
Yes, I saw it and am astonished that he is now claiming he did not whip them up to this chant, especially when he did nothing to stop them. WHY does his own party not distance them selves from this abomination of a man? If any of them log on to F/B they surely must see what the rest of the World is saying about him.
Trump and Boris! Scares me....
-
I too thought that it was a brilliant quote on Brexit Annie, shame that some of the idiots who want to take back control do not understand it.
As for Boris, I cannot understand how members of the Conservative Party think that this bumbling clown has the character and moral fibre to be PM. I could be wrong but no chance of me betting on it. :cry: :cry:

BREAKING NEWS.....Top secret plans from RAE Farnborough left in the local Greggs, have revealed that an airship with a caravan slung beneath it is being built in the livery of Royal Air Force One.
It is rumoured that Boris Johnson will be promoted to presenter of Top Gear, whilst Clarkson, Hammond and the other one will take over the running of the country.
The bullying, racist, childish and boorish attributes of the new Cabinet is purported to greatly improve the current state of British politics.
-
Unless I've missed something really important about your "news" in the last couple years, "the other one" - May - did actually take over the running of the country... she didn't last long.
Clarkson got sacked and Hammond crashed his silly little car a few times...
:crazy:
-
Relax Drax, it's only the future of the UK that is at stake, nothing serious!! :huh:
-
So, the dye will be cast today. There is a rumour that some Conservative voters will be swinging the way of Hunt at the last minute. I think the result will be broadcast tomorrow, so let's hope it's correct. At least Hunt would be the lesser of the two in terms of damage to the UK.
-
It’s only the Tories that can vote Frankie, so it doesn’t matter what Labour voters think.
-
Hi Drax, just a joke that came out on social media. But from "holding up a kipper" and "we can come out of the EU on 31 October, and yes, we certainly have the technology to do so" Boris made a rederence to the moon landing and said he could deliver Brexit..errrm. Boris keeps us wondering. We will all know tomorrow after the vote closes at 17.00 BST. I misread an article earlier. I thought it said "Tory leadership voting too close" of course it was " Voting to close"
In the Independent a few minutes ago.....Despite being chosen by an electorate smaller than that which voted for Ed Balls on Strictly Come Dancing, Gordon Brown said the Tory leadership favourite was heading for a "chaotic, damaging and dangerous" no-deal break. "The message to Boris Johnson is plain and urgent: Don't push Britain off a cliff on October 31,"
What would the public vote be for Boris not to be PM ? At least by the end of the week, if not tomorrow we will get a number count on the resignations.
-
Put me down as a definite to vote for Boris NOT to be PM, I would not vote for either of them in a ballot but if I had the chance I would definitely vote against HIM. Cannot believe that supposedly sane people have voted for him. I feel embarrassed to be a British citizen :embarrassed:
-
Thanks for pointing out my mistake, Annie! I hadn't had my coffee and chipito of Brandy!!!
-
So, it is now confirmed, we have Boris as PM. Not totally unexpected but certainly not welcome.... :cry:
-
Neither would be my choice. I suppose Boris will be more amusing /embarrassing
-
Boris is marmite.
A commentator on the news just mentioned his enthusiasm, commitment and ability to put a smile on peoples faces... maybe they were just laughing at and not with him :whistle:
He was also recently compared to Heineken... able to refresh the places others can't :dunno:
Time and the history books will tell, not a single thing we can do about it, vivimos en españa: stay cool :thumbsup:
-
Tomorrow Boris will be PM. Just have to accept that though I personally have little faith in what he will achieve it could be an interesting next 3 months till the end of October when "Do or Die" the UK will leave the EU. His words not mine!
Be Prepared..... :laugh:
-
According to The Independent, the EU have said again today that they will not re-negotiate.
-
From the candidates, Boris would not have been my first choice.
However, for all his faults, Boris has more charisma in his little finger than Theresa May had in her whole body.
It'll give Ian Blackford something else to carp about.
-
Absolutely everyone has more charisma than the Maybot! 🙄
-
Charisma wont run the country or get it out of the chaos that Boris and others have caused. The man is a proven liar both in Politics and in his private life.
The chairman of a leading bank yesterday said he wouldent give him a job. . Says it all .
The UK is a basket case unless they agree on some sort of deal and stop pandering to the DUP and if necessary cut NI adrift .
Let the backstop apply to NI only and then the deal May and team negotiated will be passed in Parlliment.
Job done. ?? Maybe !!

His first big electoral test comes next week.The Conservatives, propped up in power by Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party, have a working majority of just two.Even that very slim advantage is set to be eroded further on Thursday, August 1, with a crunch by-election in mid-Wales.The rural constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire is up for grabs after the sitting Tory MP Chris Davies was ousted by a recall petition following his criminal conviction for fiddling his parliamentary expenses.Inexplicably - given the embarrassment, chaos and jeopardy he brought on his party - he has been chosen again to fight the seat.The Conservatives have a 8,038 majority.But Remainer parties have rallied behind the candidate with the best chance of winning - Lib Dem Jane Dodds - so they do not split the vote.Consequently, the Lib Dems are tipped to triumph and reclaim the constituency they held until 2015 - inflicting an early wound on the new PM.
-
Raymondo, NI will never agree to being any more detached from mainland UK than it is already. Too much blood has been spilt in getting where it is. The unfortunate thing is there is no devolved Govt over there and no business has been conducted in Stormont for several years.

Bozo says he will make the UK the greatest nation on Earth. Trump said he will make America great again.
Everything is going to be great !!!
Bozo cant say how he will do it but of course we will trust him. ???
First question he has to answer is " how will the chicken cross the Border in Ireland after Brexit "
😴😴
-
Watching PMQ's today, he slipped and slithered past virtually every direct question. Specifically when asked HOW he proposed to finance all these major projects he has promised. :huh:

Second question Ray: are you from Great Britain or Ireland (Republic of)?
-
Drax.Drax ??? The border is really important to me and should be for all to preserve the peace that took so long to achieve.
Not sure where i come from affects my comment on Boris and his comedy show.
Nobody wants to see borders being manned by soldiers again and the repercussions of that .
You know well where i hail from but you have criticised so many of my posts including the one on Josef Locke and Condrey and others.
Is it just an anti Irish thing or is just your way of posting ??
Have a beer in Albox and relax.
Happy grandad day.🍻🍻
-
No, Just wondering why you always seem to have a downer on all things political in the UK when you don't or maybe never have had a vote to influence.
Perhaps you do or don't??
and the Irish border is something they will figure out.. I already mentioned my ideas in the past about this.
It's very rare I have a beer in Albox but if you've left a couple of euros behind the bar for me I'll drink your health :grin:
-
I have a pension in Sterling and spent many a happy day in the Uk .
I was a great fan of Maggie and even some of the PMs in recent years until they made a mess of everything Brexit.
You sound like a Revenue Inspector so will not post any more of my personal info. My voting qualifications are my business.
Everything going on for the last 4 years in the UK will greatly affect my country so I feel I am entitled on an open forum to comment on events of the day.
If you feel that only voters or ex voters in the UK can comment on the Government then so be it.
( And they will figure out the border ). Yeah right . !! Boris couldent even draw the border on a map of Ireland.
Be happy to contribute a few beers to your health. Name the bar and it shall come to pass.

Eire?
I'll see you, as usual, in the local on your return :whistle:

It really saddens me when there is a suggestion made to forget the Irish border. Maybe those people forget the amount of blood spilt, both Irish and British, to get that border lifted. The thought, unless the negotiators are very careful, of going back to those days of the Troubles, horrifies me. I lived there for a few years at their height and would hate for all that to return due to some politicians making the wrong decision with regard to the Backstop.
-
I agree Frankie. I did sales visits, one of my customers was kidnapped and eventually released for a ransom another was killed because he insisted on employing people regardless of their religion. They walked into his premises and shot him. Can't remember which side shot him
