Yep, agreed that he is a loose cannon and subject to moments of vanity. But the picture is not completely one-sided as demonstrated by this Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jul/16/total-chaos-boris-johnson-london-mayor
And there lies the rub. Not everyone who voted out was quite so equivocal. Indeed there are people on NSC who voted out and have now changed their mind based on how it has played out.
Your argument falls down right there, the first sentence. The rest of your post is just noise. We shouldn't risk sending the country into recession just because YOU decided OUT means OUT.

Of course the electorate could relate to him. His mother was a nurse, his father a toolmaker. He went into law via university because of his high marks in eleven plus. He comes from modest beginings but is a highly intelligent and articulate man. He family is from a Labour back ground but he is not an extremist in any way.......just a nobody made good and sticking to his left of central values. Just what Labour needs to break the stranglehold of the centre right media driven politics we have endured under Cameron, May and now Boris.
Gwylan, I think you have missed my point(on purpose.). You should have quoted my full post!

Some people are plain selfish and don't care about those that will be hurt, welcome to modern Britain...

Maintaining the myth that outside the EU we can exceed the standard of living we have while inside it. If leaving is so ideologically necessary then leave, but pretending there's a benefit ("golden age") and apparently convincing people that's possible, is without any truth or evidence or fact. A huge number of people will suffer because of Brexit, many of them the ones who think "talking up the country" is a Good Thing and more important than being honest. That's what they are doing to the country (while also preparing to blame the EU for their own failures to deliver what they promised in the referendum).
Quite. I'm one of those who voted out but am appalled at the situation where we've found ourselves in. The idea that we should leave regardless of the economic hardship it would mean for most of the population is anathema to me.
Is it PotG?

Parliament had numerous chances to accept the May deal.
Sabotage, delay, scupper... whatever the word.
Be careful of what you wish for.
We should already be out, with a deal.

OK.

I don't think I've missed your point at all. You said that you fear what Labour would do to the economy. I can't recall the exact figures but I think the plans in the last Labour manifesto were said to cost about £15 to 20 billion - cue jibes about the magic money tree. Johnson announces plans for about three or four times that much and not a word is said about the economy. That's precisely the point I'm making.
You also talk about extremist advisers. Well, I think a chief adviser who has already broken electoral law, who can't get a Commons pass because of his contempt of parliament is pretty extreme. Throw in people from the Tax Payers Alliance, a shadowy body who repeatedly refuse to say how they're funded and we're on dodgy ground. And as for tolerance of other views, we've just seen Johnson purge his cabinet of anyone who voted for his rival - Corbyn's shadow cabinet contains many people who aren't Corbynistas - and yet he's the one who can't bear criticism.
And yes, many Labour MPs aren't happy with him but we have Tory MPs openly plotting to vote agains their own leader - but it's Corbyn who is the problem.
You illustrate my point exactly - Corbyn is being judged by completely different standards to Johnson, by the press and by NSCers (I agree about his lack of intellect though - I think Corbyn's a decent bloke but he's not the sharpest tool in the box: Johnson, despite his image, is no fool)

His cabinet is like going for dinner at the chainsaw massacre family.

Tories privately must be kicking themselves, we'd be in a budget surplus by now.
They are no longer the party of business, UK business will leave in their droves if there is no deal.

This is a disgraceful appointment and MUST be heavily challenged. Oh yeah but Parliament is now in recess. The Conservatives have gone down an extremely dark path.

Fine. But don’t come running to the tax payer for benefits when the construction sector has laid you off. Stand by your word and weather the storm.
