Thought that was another franchise for cricket's 'One Hundred' next year.

You're attacking a centrist politician for standing up for what she believes in and cutting the bullshit of a second referendum? Isn't it patently obvious the Brexit dream is a lie?? Fair play to her for calling it now. The British people have been right royally mugged off, £350 mill bus indeed! No plan whatsoever. We're 2 weeks away from the point of no return and no one has a clue what's going on. Absolutely f*cking shambles.

I've never met him, but know people who know him. They wouldn't consider him a centrist. He is an old fashioned borderline aristocratic very posh military trained Tory who whilst having no real understanding of "normal people" genuinely cares for them. He is a very posh, very educated but very nice guy.

Unfortunately his party has been taken over by a bitter upper middle class who:

1) Are envious of those above them.

2) Despise those below yet court their vote.

Add a spattering of "done well" working class who can't understand how anyone else from their background haven't made the money they have. The Tories are so obsessed with the party of the 1980s I fully expect them to start wearing leg warmers or joining the board of a new Breakfast Television franchise.

**** it, let's make Jeffrey Archer Chancellor.

I'm not surprised he has jumped shipped. Nothing wrong with being posh, unless you are you a ****.

The LibDems are probably the most extreme, divisive force in British politics today, unfortunately, most of their followers are too arrogant or stupid to understand there are consequences (usually unpleasant) when democratic votes are wilfully ignored.

Hahaha.....you're being ironic right? What?.....you're not??? and Blow Job isn't divisive???

Funnily enough I've been decorating today, I'm annoying good at it.

Livingstone was two fingers up to New Labour who tried to stop him. He was a great Mayor, hasn't been as good since. As soon as he ran out of steam (and his mates brought him down) Boris was elected because he couldn't have been any different and that was two fingers up to Gordon Brown.

Khan was elected as two fingers up to Tories and the disgraceful racist campaign led by Boris's chum Goldsmith.

Khan is a bit bland and I suspect Rory Stewart has a good chance of getting in. That will be too fingers up to the nasty right wing that have taken over your party.

I can explain the above with glove puppets if you like, I'm quite flexible.

Now back to your cave.

Funny that, because I can see you painting yourself into a corner.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun sticking two fingers up, typical socialist, you need to stop fighting everyone and get on with life.

I do remember using the two-finger salute, I used it while at school to a teacher and then I got home and took good hiding. Then I grew up.

Has this anger always dictated your life?



In what way would running for Mayor of London give him revenge on Boris?

He is worth ten of Boris. Of the candidates standing for party leader, in my view he was the only one with any chance of bringing people together.

Because he clearly thinks he is better than Boris and hated the fact that Boris beat him to no 10, anyone that shows that many teeth when smiling has anger to hide.

Boris is easily read, Roderick wears a mask of deception, IMO.

I'll educate you regarding how Londoners vote for a Mayor.

It's usually a two fingers up to the present Government, or their party and we like someone who will stand up for London.

Bailey will never get in, he is is far too "on message" with the current Tory party.

We like a bit of independent thinking.

Lesson over, you can return to the cave.

Seeing as you sweepingly suggest the voting habits of “ Londoners” reports today highlight Londoners drug habits https://news.sky.com/story/revealed-how-much-cocaine-londoners-are-taking-every-day-11830741.

More cocaine taken in London than Amsterdam, Berlin & Barca combined [emoji23]

Johnson could not remotely match anything Rory Stewart has done. And all this done without conflict or scandal.

He didn't really expect to win the leadership. He knew who would ultimately be deciding it. Johnson winning tells us enough about the membership.

You only have to look at the EU survey conducted with the membership to tell you all you need to know.

'One Nation' Conservatism is dead. A bit like centrist politics.

I am a member of the Lib Dem party and I take your comment as a badge of honour. Your emotive words show you're worried that a party once decimated now is set to play an important part in the political debate.

Shock horror - the Lib Dems are Remain, to our core, it's in our DNA, hard-wired, always was, always will be.

Yep. We're all extremists for wanting to keep things just the way they are!

So with all this “dead” pray tell what’s alive?

Something that has the potential to become a little scary.

The current PM is on the strings of a group of neo-cons. The current Labour Party leader heads an imploding group of broad opinions. Even if Labour were elected they wouldn't be allowed to govern properly as the media would take control of public attitudes as folk gobble up their shite.

I have often asked folk what they have against socialism. Most can't tell me. It's just that Rupert Murdoch said it was bad. I then remind them that we have a society that is still underpinned by socialist ideology, practice, and values. .

I support progressive socialism. Something that understands the age and encourages enterprise. Corbyn could offer that but like the Tories, he is in danger of, and to a small degree has, been surrounded by those who do not understand modern thinking, Then there's Momentum.

So both parties have the same problem.

As a lifelong non-Tory voter, have to say that Rory Stewart is the only Tory I could ever have contemplated voting for.

As prospective candidate for Mayor of London, he's a shoo-in (or 'shoe-in' if you must :rolleyes:)

I think he'll win if he gets through the first round.

He'll get enough 2nd preference votes - but will he get enough first?

Well there was one, but they went and said they would overturn the result of a national referendum.

Oh, and then said there wouldn't be another one.

legally speaking its merely an opinion poll. but that's another ( ongoing) fairytale.
