Not quite what he's been saying recently and repeatedly. He's lying. Again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Maybe he knows the EU are going to refuse any extension request. The assumption they will grant an extension is possibly the biggest mistake to make.What happens then is either an agreed Boris deal (subject to the EU), May's deal (subject to the HoC) or no deal (subject to no one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the HoC or courts can tell the EU to do anything. Absolutely but if the UK asks for an extension, it will get one. No deal is subject to the HoC and the courts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Stewart is another old-Etonian whose main qualification for the job seemed to be his privileged backgroundI think being governor of an Iraqi province is more of a qualification than going to Eton to be fair. Read his excellent book "The Places In Between" about his solo walk across Afghanistan and you'll realise there's much more to the guy than your average toff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems not to much of a c**t for a Tory but his crap about the borders country pre referendum, his middle eastern adventures (spying missions) and his promotion of pro govt/state internet intrusion makes him OFTW.

Given events in that country, at the time and subsequently, it's not something I'd want on my CV even he now agrees the invasion was a mistake. His choice to criticize BJ on his schooldays shows it's all a big game to him - I'd say he's pretty much an "average toff".

Fullerene Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Michael Portillo was a dreadful MP and I am not that keen on the Andrew Neil show but when Portillo does that show about train journeys in Canada, well, I guess I don't really mind. Maybe Rory Stewart should do a travelogue show about bus journeys in Afghanistan or Tajikistan or somewhere like that. Maybe they should all do a show. Boris goes to Borneo. Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Stewart has exactly the same Eton/Oxbridge entitlement gene as Johnson. It’s why he thinks he should be Mayor of a city that he only has a nodding acquaintance with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 So neither Johnson nor Arcuri are willing to deny that they had a sexual relationship? Johnson obviously believes that the nature of their relationship is not pertinent to him using his influence as Mayor. Thankfully the GLA’s powers will mean he will not be able to hide from scrutiny on this matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
