Retard. So you don't believe in democracy?

You still use the word 'retard' ? It's the word that was used so effectively to demean people with disabilities all those years ago. I thought even the most ardent of anti-PC rallyers had stopped using it and realised its thumping ignorance. Don't use it. If you wish to I'll send you a story about my early life that I recently wrote.

On the radio on the way back from Waitrose, they are reporting that there is a move afoot by the 1922 mob to get the other candidates to step aside to get Boris in quick so he can get the brexit negotiations going as soon as possible

That will be interesting.

That makes sense if they think that he can achieve that by 31st October as it gives him the best chances.

I don't want to appear facetious, but you do realise that the EU have disbanded the negotiation team and with the recent elections and the current appointments in the EU not due to finish until November 1st, there is no one for Johnson to actually negotiate with :lolol:

What a sad state affairs. The two with the most 'statesman' qualities are gone (Leadsom and Harper) and I'm not sure we are going to get an improvement on May in this respect.

Fukken amateur night.

How on earth do you come to the conclusion that Leadsom has statesman qualities? You seem to be setting the bar extremely low although I would suggest she is ahead of Johnson.

I was talking about that group of 11 or so as it was. The point being the least shite of a low statesman quality bunch.

Surely they have made provisions for a debate and the personnel to carry that out, if we came back with a suggestion that they consider worthwhile.

A guest on today's Daily Politics summed up the the leading candidates something like this

- you've got Michael Gove, a former Education Secretary who was detested by teachers; Jeremy Hunt, a former Health Secretary detested by doctors; and Boris Johnson a former Foreign Secretary, detested by just about everyone.


I've got to the stage where I feel physically sick if I watch or hear BJ; surely there must be a 'coalition of the sensible' in the Tory party that can stop this goon's bandwagon?
Click to expand...

I share your tendency to nausea for the same reasons, but fear the Tories have nobody's interests at heart other than their own party's. And they are short sighted enough to think that BJ is the answer.

It seems to me a bit like Manure fans not understanding why half the world hates them.

What could we offer that's 'worthwhile'?

No provisions have been made because the negotiations are complete.

We can have a deal with a customs union or 'no deal' with NI border and WTO. We just need to do what we've been unable to do for the last 3 years and decide which we want :shrug:

Johnson won’t even turn up for a TV debate so how could he manage one with the EU ???

Why should he bother with a TV debate with loaded questions. He will get his chance to show Corbyn up for what he is in PM Question Time. I think that we will get a repeat of how Maggie used to tear Neil Kinnock to pieces.

The fact that he is a nasty piece of work is probably very attractive to most Tory party members. They’d always prefer ruthlessness over compassion otherwise they’d not be Tory supporters.

This. It’s exactly the same reason why calling Farage a racist doesn’t diminish his support, they like him because he is a racist.

This is something that isn't being communicated by the majority of the media.

BJ's appointment will be our final humiliation, before our Union starts to break up
