I know right, he's Canadian shouldn't it be in a bag or something.
Boris Johnson confirmed as next UK PM as Conservatives announce new leader
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
Now I'm imaging a press conference where he takes out some scissors, stabs a bag of milk, and then shotguns the entire thing while all the milk guys cheer.
Hard Brexit at this point would be somewhat a relief compared to the no-deal that is creeping up on us day by day. It's incredible how much they've managed to move the narrative goalposts from "people voted against EU membership, we must negotiate a close and relatively sensible Norway-style arrangement" to "people voted against any type of arrangement, we must leave with none".
Soft or no is my preference, but can't lie and say I wouldn't be somewhat relieved if the WA got through somehow at this point.
People voted for this but you make out like this is something that was not on the table,anyone that looked at this knew europe was not going to make it easy yet everybody jumps up and down.there was a vote i voted and im sure you did too,now its time to deal with it without making bold statements
Its time to move on,all this uncertainty is doing noone any good .we had a vote now lets get it done so we can deal with the main problems that actually effect this country like knife crime,shitty hospitals and schools
You can say "move on" all you like, that won't provide any answers for what will happen with the Irish border. And this isn't something to be reckless or haphazard about. The Troubles weren't that long ago and being that reckless with the Food Friday Agreement and causing a situation where a hard border would be necessary between N.I./R.O.I. ain't exactly a good way of making sure things don't flare up again.
Unless by "this country" you really mean England/Wales/Scotland and aren't considering Northern Ireland part if the IK at all because it definitely is part of the country and if your that reckless with the situation and prioritize just getting on with it, that's going to create a situation that will affect people for sure and definitely will 'do no one any good" as you put it.
Uh....did Trump just confirm that Johnson and Farage are going to be working together?
My bullshit senses are tingling.

is your keyboard broken or what dude
or are you an old person who doesn't understand how to type on a phone
LOL, what? Have you been paying even the slightest bit of attention? The EU has essentially made it as easy as possible and it's still being messed up. Wow.
Some people don't give a shit about the Irish issue. I've had several people say to me how the Irish have "fucked Brexit up for everyone" and that we should "let them get on with it". It's as if they can't remember that we had the threat of terrorism on our doorstep on a daily basis before the good Friday agreement.
Just a little heads up since I believe I saw you were a Tory voter earlier in the thread, the reason both schools and the NHS are suffering is purely down to underfunding from the Tories. Even minor increases you've seen in funding were actually cuts, just in ways you'd never consider. Schools are being asked to pay for more behind the scenes than they ever were before, despite any apparent funding "increases" coming their way.
You'll also notice that the streets are now filled with homeless people where under Tony Blair homelessness was such a rare sight that it was actually shocking when you saw someone on the street. I don't think you need any clues as to why that might be.
Edit: Also, if we could stop comparing a well educated career politician with the ability to manipulate a nation with some mild baffoonery and intentionally ruffled hair to make himself look wacky with Donald Trump, that would be fantastic. Some people in this thread seem to be incapable of grasping the concept that this was not a general election either, the country did not vote for Boris Johnson.

Remember, the misery of the next generations (and yours, but you probably don't care regardless) is on your hands.
9 years of conservative austerity. No deal EU exit will only make things worse as putting up trade barriers limits your countries ability to make money and will cause a drop in tax revenue for the government.
A hard border in Ireland also means we fail to meet our obligations under the Good Friday agreement.

I guess the first thing all three of them should do is get on a plane with Nigel then.
I don't know that people voted for a hard border in NI. Did you?
You see once we leave the EU we'll be able to grow magic money trees to fix everything. The logic is flawless!
Why would creating more problems provide more time and resources for solving other ones? That seems like a contradiction.
Nothing bad that ever happens is the fault of the Tories.
Such is the level of disconnect, outright fucking delusion or sheer 'fuck you, got mine' cunterry it takes to vote Tory in the first place. Fucking morons, every last one of them.
idk seems like jezza should take a more vehement anti-brexit/remain position when up against these two lunatics
It's not that it's possibly the most complicated thing we've ever had to do as a country because of 40 years of integration... it's because Europe isn't making it easy.
Fuck me sideways people are clueless.
Those are the finest specimen that your countries can produce?omg.
It's deliberate. "Boris" is a character deployed by Alexander Pfeffel Johnson for charm purposes. In private he's ruthless and utterly self-determined. Then he ruffles his hair up, puts on a shrug, shuffles out to the poodium and goes "er, well, golly" and people lap it up. It's an act, and it works.
He messes it up on purpose, the Norman Wisdom method of disarming opposition.
Wow, that is fucking nuts. I guess that's one big difference between him and Trump. Trump is way too narcissistic to ever intentionally look like a fool. Thanks for the explanation!
Didn't Patel get fired for doing something dodgy by May and I vaguely remember her liking some shit book called Unchained or something that was like a rich fucking over everyone else wet dream.
I see Johnson has hired already some Sky stooge, hello Murdoch and used his fancy 9 million flat as a base for his campaign.

Patel went rogue in Israel and the Golan heights and came back on the plane of shame.
