Shits gloriously all over the UK, then just walks away from the clean-up. What a ****ing **** of a man. I'd do time for that fat ****, I really would. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well at least it gives lie to all those who said he only did it to bring down Cameron as he wanted to be Prime Minister. Without wanting to stir it all up I am still unclear why and how you can be 100% certain that this is going to be a disaster for the UK going forward . The markets and FTSE have not collapsed as stated, and the pound has not plummeted to anywhere near the level predicted and has recovered quite a lot over the past 3 days. What else did Remain exaggerate? I do concede that the reported increase in racial attacks is a very worrying development but who is to say, in the long term we would not have played into the hands of the Extreme right as is happening in some parts of Europe? Just a thought. Talking to a couple of Italians today in the supermarket who spotted we were English and asked us what we thought about it. They said that many ordinary Italians are really concerned about the Euro and may want to revert back to their own economy and have control over the interest rates etc and bring back the Lira. Obviously there is only one way that can be done! PM Renzi and before that Prodi (who was an unelected merchant banker I believe), brought in stringent anti austerity measures aimed at safeguarding the banks which has not really worked. Many regional banks here are in trouble and one or two have collapsed. Renzi is trying to bring in reforms to remove much of the bureaucracy in Italy and streamline the Govt but lost badly in the local Elections to the protest party 5 star (started by a famous pop star here) which now has a new mayor - Rome no less. Renzi fears a defeat in the forthcoming referendum for his plans which could result in yet another Election. As I said, UK is far from the only country on the brink of wanting out in spite of the concerted efforts of the media to state otherwise. Interesting times whichever way we had jumped I fear.
Course he did. He's just been outmanoeuvred by a bitter Cameron. Cameron not invoking Article 50 has meant his predecessor has to do it. By which point the realities of Brexit will have well and truly bitten. So Johnson would either have had to turn round in October and say actually the pain of all this isn't going to be worth it and maybe we should have a rethink, or invoke it when public opinion may well have changed against it. Even if public opinion is still behind Brexit he's then faced with the fact he didn't really believe Brexit was going to win the referendum, doesn't really think its the right thing to do, and anything he promised he can't deliver. So basically he was shafted. And then the Goves put the final nail in his coffin
Yes Boris has had a run of bad luck and his cunning plans have all unravelled First he wins the referendum - he had expected a narrow defeat which would have wounded Cameron so he was ready and waiting Then Cameron outmaneuvers him by passing the ticking bomb of article 50 to him Finally Gove stands against him which he hadnt expected I would say I could almost feel sorry for him - but that would be a rather big lie
Don’t expect you read the Guardian, but for days they have been arguing that Cameron has just passed Boris a poison chalice. Whoever presses the button on Article 50 will be responsible for the subsequent turmoil. (Even if you think it’s going to be ok in the long term, you probably see its going to be very messy in the short term) Since Cameron passed that book Boris has been back peddling like mad and just cycled off into the distance. Of course he still wants to be PM, just not the PM that has to deal with all this carp. My guess is he is stepping back from all the chaos of the next few months and will step back in the arena once there other are covered in blood and ****.
Having read up on this I have to agree.. Cameron has shown his talent at political manoevering (shame he is crap at running the country with GO) Agree that short term its going to be tough. I think short/medium term of pain is more than likely and we are probably talking at least 3 years to sort out (if indeed the EU and the Euro can last that long in its present form). That said its now 8 years since the crash and for many areas of Britain there doesn't seem to be much recovery since then and on the horizon, even without Brexit added into the mix.
That's twice we've been in agreement now Y Goch ...and I do read The Guardian so that's three things in common !!
