Politics So...Europe then?

[DaGaffer]

I dont think he did a bad job. He had a tough ask with the issues he inherited... So for one I am sorry to see him go, especially with the alternatives ie May with a broken opposition.

You mean apart from the whole "referendum for internal party purposes that blew up royally" thing? Apart from that.

He promised the referendum when he became PM? He was outmenovered and for those who voted remain they now seem to have a lot of angst for him for having the vote... If he had not had the vote he would also have been criticised heavily.....

Yes but he didn't promise a referendum because of some democratic impulse, he did it to outmanoeuvre the Eurosceptic wing of the Tory party; which was spectacularly ill-judged wouldn't you say?

 

[Talivar]

Both Tory and Labour have made massive screw ups, Cameron as pointed out thought he could use this to sort his house out and Labour thought they could use this situation to sort theirs out and remove JC, both failed on an epic scale

 

[fettoken]

GG Theresa May.

Absolutely but I still think he achieved a lot.... Although history books will not remember.....

Foreign secretary...the world is saved.

 

[Zarjazz]

Oh wow. Boris as Foreign Secretary .. I literally laughed-out-load at the news. Truth is stranger than fiction.

 

[throdgrain]

BORIS

 

[Scouse]

I dont think he did a bad job.

Agree? He only risked all on Brexit only to fail, leaving the very union at stake.

Erm. So no. Not agree. "Paedo look a like fucks country" would be accurate reporting

 

[Yoni]

Yes there is the referendum, the result is not one that I wanted at all... But just to say he was crap isn't ok either.... When I think to Blair, Brown and Major.......

 

[Embattle]

It'll be fine.

 

[Job]

Brexit threat is the best thing to happen to Europe since Abba.

 

[BloodOmen]

Boris Johnson being Foreign Secretary would be like a Hamster trying to play the Crystal Maze... while blindfolded and glued to a toaster.

 

[Gumbo]

He did a very good job as London Mayor of wooing foreigners who brought money. As the FS job is more about projecting us overseas now, rather than sitting in the UN persuading them to let us go to war, it's not a terrible idea. Foreigners like Boris. They like the badly fitting suits and the ridiculous hair and language. They think it's so very British.

Don't for get she's appointed a separate Minister for Brexit, so he'll be at arms length of that.

I was surprised, definitely. I thought that was probably it for Boris for a decade or so. That he might go all Portillo and just make TV programs and write more books.

I'll reserve judgement for the moment.

That would make the pound fall further.

 

[dysfunction]

Lately Boris has had a few Prince Philip moments that are not very diplomatic.

you mean go back down from where it has recovered to. I dont mind that

Who cares, foreigners love that shit.

He will be off to the rest of the world (that place outside the EU!)

 

[Raven]

May also seems to be booting out some utter cunts too.

Gove, gone
Morgan, gone

Good news indeed.

 

[Talivar]

Hunt gone aswell i think

I was referring to his remarks about Israel. That's a place outside of Europe.

 

[Talivar]

Maybe Hunt hasnt gone then , just a different role!

 

[old.user4556]

Meanwhile, in Glasgow.

 

[Raven]

Not seen them, what did he say?

 

[BloodOmen]

When I heard Gove had gone.

 

[Talivar]

Ok Hunt hasnt gone and hasnt changed roles, im sacked!

 

[dysfunction]

Not seen them, what did he say?

Well more wrong place to say pro Israel things
