Boris Johnson: the new PM to energise the country?

Agreed there. I hope it was the heat yesterday that actually made the majority of the Brexiter portion of the country come over all giddy.

If it were Rees Mogg or some other insane ERG ideologue, I'd be worrying. With Boris, I feel a little happier TBH.  He's like Trump in a way, his narcissism and ego make him predictable and he has absolutely no principles.  He will always choose the best option for Boris.  Somebody like that is easier to control, play, and work against in opposition.

Honestly, for all those reasons, he's also a national security nightmare.

And he has only such a delicate majority. He can barely answer yes to Queenie today But you are right about his character.

Plus he has already set himself up for an almighty clanger by declaring it's do or die. It may well be die for his political career, but that's exactly what he doesn't want. He will not want to leave as May has.

Civil unrest , really ! give that talk a rest fella.

No Deal needed to be on the table from day one and still does as it's the nuclear last resort option that neither the EU or UK would desire.

It hog tied negotiations on our part taking it off the table , and still does.

If he fails,  he fails  . No need for the histrionics. Que Sera, Sera .

Not histrionics. It's an accurate report from the Times this week

All this man has ever done is to lead up to this. He cares only about himself.  He doesn't care about the country, he doesn't care about the people. He doesn't care about you.

Ah you are describing any and most  politicians then . We can now see his true colours behind the buffoon mask in the top job and indeed really tear him to shreds if all goes tits up. A win for all is it not ?

SteakAndCake

Not if he takes the country down with him.  That isn't worth it.  I can live with my belief he's a ****ing idiot. I don't need to watch him screw the country to have my fear proven true.

Truth. And actually not all politicians are like Boris. Some are genuinely interested in the people they're called to serve. Has society really got so bad that we're happy to have someone of such terrible ethical standards in the highest office in the land?
We also know exactly what Trump is like. Not exactly working out well there is it?

How exacltly,  he has promised we leave as per reforendum result . If he does not follow through on that promise then he is out of the top seat .

In your estimation he has failed the country , people and dogs n cats before he has taken office .
