And yet, he has been gifted that majority by Nigel Farage, who in doing so has pretty much self-destructed the Brexit Party and left a sour taste for many of us. Boris has simply hijacked Nigel’s methods of garnering votes and many many of the Brexit Party’s policies. As far as I can see Boris has come up with nothing of his own !
I’m totally sure that history will recognise Farage’s complete domination of the entire exit from the EU, even at the expense of his own job !
Without Farage, we’d still be living under Cameron (or Corbyn) - amazing that one Guy, who never even sat in Parliament has dictated the events of the last 5 years so totally.
Will he get a “Lordship” ? - I think it simply HAS to be offerred and I wonder if he will finally take it ? - Personally, I think he should - a Knighthood !
Minutiae apart, do you accept the burden of my post that without the efforts of Nigel Farage and NF alone, we would still be ploughing along under Cameron /Corbyn - and still stuck ever deeper into the EU ?
Not sure what NF stands for, the efforts of Farage have been well compensated, the argument within the Tory party regarding Europe precedes his entry into politics.
I mentioned earlier that he is a trader, he took a trade that went against him, saw that he was under water and checked out.
The glory imo still goes to Boris, he faced unimaginable opposition, even within his own family, but he made the deal, saw it through - and finally outside No. 10 no Francis of Assisi speech - just let’s gets on with the job in hand.
One of Boris’s huge assets is a guy caalled Dominic Cummings and the “free press” have been Braying for blood for days now - They Demanded explanations in the usual way - and demanded and protested and demanded his resignation or sacking.
After his completely brilliant handling of the media questioning - and hearing A REFERENCE given by someone at OXFORD with him - Id’ be honoured if he would come and sit at the “Piss’eads” table with old Falstaff - for a wee bit of a celebration to the great god Dionysius (sp) - Split a bottle ior two with you mate - he sounds like a really great bloke !
maybe that the problem it is the “likable factor” . rather than the most appropriate leader after all he known as Boris rather than Johnson ,Gove for example is a better communicator, talks sense dose not get emotional but lacks charisma
He is introducing a new Law on Wednesday to Clarify various points of the Northern Ireland “border” situation and prepare fr Britain to regain it’s sovereignty and take back control of our fishing waters - which are not seeimingly going down too well across teh water !
There are several sources - here is one (the best one on the Northern Ireland situation imo) - It seems from Radio interviews and others that we are indeed NOT prepared to abandon Our citizens in NI - after all !
The wording of the Bill is now out and It was drawn in response to “Veiled threats” that the EU would use the “Irish border issue” to starve the citizens of Northern Ireland in the event of “No Deal” !
No breach of International or any other Law has been made - but it is clear that we WILL NOT allow the “IIrish Border” to be used a vindictive weapon by EU or anyone else !
