Brother Blades Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I think the French understand what it’s like to be led by a self-important charlatan. Tbf, most of them can’t remember Napoleon personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Johnson will return from Europe and try to give the impression his visit was a success. It wasn’t. It will be interesting to see if the MSM play along with this lie or if he’s challenged in the way he should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they were diplomatic. This charm offensive is obviously working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Trump is very unpopular in the U.K. Johnson sucking up to him will do him no favours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Those poor interpreters have got their work cut out for them if they have to translate all his bumbling, stuttering and stammering during this Q&A he's doing right now. On the other hand, if they only interpret what he is actually trying to say the other leaders will be wondering why he's spoken for 10 minutes yet only said one sentence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It was always going to come to this once BJ became PM by uniting the "Little England" & "Britannia Unchained" subsets of the Tory party. No-Deal Brexit, revoking A50, NI & Scotland leaving the union - my bet is Boris is more focussed on his post-PM book deals than any of the issues mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 It is absolutely galling to see Johnson make totally unsubstantiated statements and these statements being repeated by the MSM without any critical analysis or challenge. The latest being that there is ‘movement’ in the EU position whilst the EU is saying nothing of the sort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJo's being applauded by the right wing press for the great deception over suspending Parliament, and apparently getting the better of the remoaners. They (the press) have a lot to answer for given their campaign of supporting the Leave movement. The EU are going to get blamed whatever the outcome is come October 31st. What a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he isn't giving any interviews to the MSM for any of them to regurgitate, or critically analyse... is he ? It's all just soundbites, for consumption by his fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all just soundbites, for consumption by his fans. They can still be analysing and offering critical analysis of statements, even if they are only released in written form. I never thought my opinion of the MSM could get any lower. They have went from pretty poor to very poor in the last week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, none of this shambles was initiated by those who are now desperately trying to avert it, so accordingly no blame attaches to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 And ? Folk should just shrug and do f**k all ? To be clear, none of this shambles was initiated by those who are now desperately trying to avert it, so accordingly no blame attaches to them.All that I see trying to avert is no deal but every time alternatives are put to the House the Noes have it.Asking for an extension to A50 is dependent on the EU. The anti no deal people should have worked towards an alternative that they all could back.The EU should say no to any A50 extension request this time around and if the house can't agree then it has to be a no deal.However, I do actually think we are closer to a deal now than we have been for a while and it will be a deal that the current PM puts to the house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Not seen it anywhere else but I saw that one of Javid’s advisors was sacked by Dominic Cummings last night. Ruling with an iron fist in Number 10 apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
