    Default Former employer; Boris Johnson is utterly unfit to be Brit prime minister.

    I was Boris Johnson’s boss: he is utterly unfit to be prime minister
    Max Hastings




    I have known Johnson since the 1980s, when I edited the Daily Telegraph and he was our flamboyant Brussels correspondent. I have argued for a decade that, while he is a brilliant entertainer who made a popular maître d’ for London as its mayor, he is unfit for national office, because it seems he cares for no interest save his own fame and gratification.

    honestly if we cant have Sir Nigel Farage , Boris would probably be ok. At least his heart is in the right place.

    Sure- it's only very temporary anyway. The Tories won't accept Doris's ' No deal ' and the only other route is a general election which Corbyn will WALK with a massive majority- imho.

    real talk. Like no flaming and stuff. So I do understand if they dont get a vote from parliament then yes it goes to general election right? However it is possible for tories to vote for no deal and no election would occur right?

    IMO the tories are afraid of getting kicked out by Brexit party right now so there is no appetite for an election from them till after brexit.

    Right- but opponents of ' No Deal ' are already claiming 100 Tories who will vote it down.

    Almost right. The Tories will lose massive votes to the Brexit party but that will only ensure a huge win for the opposition Labor party- in the event of an election. There will have to be an election if the Tories call a vote of No Confidence in their own government- and that's the way it's currently heading. Neither of the two twats up for leadership are fit for purpose and so there IS no confidence in the forthcoming government even BEFORE it ' elects ' its leader. It's an utter shambles. NOBODY could ever have envisioned what a gargantuan clusterfuck Brexit could become.

    maggot thinks it's all going swimmingly. Haw, haw...............haw.
    He thinks that Doris is going to win the leadership, force through a ' No Deal ' Brexit on Halloween ( I kid you not), refuse to cough up the 50 billion dollars that the UK owes the EU and then sail off into the blue yonder making tasty trade deals with a world that views the UK as an isolated, butt-end of empire, dotard-led, welching apology for a cornerstone of the international community.
    Haw, haw...........haw.

    They'd better get Corbyn installed quick-smart or they're all fucked.

    This is a result anyone could see though which leads me to believe they will choose no deal over elections.

    Well- ' No deal ' is mathematically impossible because the Tories are a minority government anyway and the party which they bought to support them- the N. Irish D.U.P , will be the ones that suffer most from the inevitable hard border with rock-solid EU member, Eire. They hate Brexit. The Tories should make them give their three billion dollars back. Haw, haw.........haw.


    The Brexiteer assholes did cook up a cunning plan though. They planned to disband parliament so it couldn't vote against them. Haw, haw.............haw. Again, I kid you not. However, their ' cunning ' plan has already been scuppered by the Speaker- the Brits top parliamentary boy- who simply won't allow it. They would have to go to their QUEEN and ask her to disband her own parliament so they could leave the EU. Wait for it............... Her family is fucking GERMAN ! Haw, haw, haw, haw..............haw.

    As I said- there is overwhelming TORY opposition to ' No Deal ' and they have announced that they will put country before party. They will likely regain their personal seats in a general election as the electorate views the Brexiteer shambles in the cold light of day. Most Labor members who vote with the Tories will likely lose theirs. The ' Anti-Semitism ' squealers are already on notice.

    why would they keep their seats? As we mentioned earlier brexit party would split the vote.

    Because the mood of the UK is now Remain- and has been for some time. Brexit and Tory are essentially the same people.
