The former prime minister said a leadership election would be "absolutely absurd" whilst speaking on The Andrew Marr Show.

Bloody twonks, Boris is clever yes but his attention span is very short and you need some one to be focus on the task and Boris is not that person.

YouGov spoke to 1,668 adults in Britain on July 19 and 20, according to The Sunday Times, which did not provide other details about how the poll was conducted.
Pretty sketchy :hmmm:

Catfish 07-23-18 03:52 AM

^ sketchy.. i take it the pro/contra numbers are still around 50/50.

"Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage and U.S. President Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon are in discussions about forming a new right-wing movement, according to The Sunday Times."

Ah, why don't they go to Iran? Because democracy lets them do what they want?
So let's say the population is roughly divided (or 48/52, whatever) and the likes of Bannon, Farage and Johnson know that.
So they want to form a right-wing movement and influence people with the usual right-wing populistic crap, so more people want to leave and support their "movement". Has this much to do with democracy?
Or isn't this only to serve their ego, put them in the spotlight, and penetrating what they think is right?

This all is what you get if you let every clueless Peter and Mary have his vote, and let every parasitical Susan and every career-horny Paul "do politics".


And since even the "leaders" are anything but failsafe in their judgements and often wreak havob with their decisions, the only consequence to be learned from this is that one needs not to allow politicians every bigger playgrounds to sunbath their formidable egos on, but that yiu need to cut their range dramatically so that the fallout of their faults remains to be limited, small and hopefully: managable.



This is oen oif the biggest arguments of mine why I totally reject constrzuciton like xcontinetal centlaised govenrments like the U wants to become. Becasue if the playground a potlicans fails in increases by a factor of 100, so does the seriousness of the bad consequences of his mistakes.



If it calls itself "politician" and makes politically commanding its model to make its living, damage control is the utmost priority to focus on. "Trust" is the one quality that should be thrown out of the window, first, before anything else, immediately.



Nobody should be allowed to ever serve more than two terms in an government office, in a party, in a parliament. After two legislation periods, everybody has to leave politics again, forever. Nobody should be allowed to make a living by being politically engaged. Serving in government, should be seen as a burden, not as a benefit to crave for.



And nobody should be allowed to vote in elections who has no own skin in the game, but just lives of the system, and of the others.


Ah, an ideal world... Its discouraging, depressing, how far away form it we are.

Democracy at its finest :doh:

A senior member of Labour's shadow cabinet has criticised the party's decision to launch a disciplinary inquiry into MP Dame Margaret Hodge.

Shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith said it was "completely absurd" and she felt it was unlikely to go ahead.
Dame Margaret could face possible disciplinary action for accusing Jeremy Corbyn of being an anti-Semite.

Jewish newspapers unite against Labour 'threat'

The UK's three main Jewish newspapers have published the same front page, warning that a Jeremy Corbyn-led government would pose an "existential threat to Jewish life".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44957906
Wow a lot would leave the UK if old JC wins the next election. Once again this one returns to haunt JC.

Brexit: Barnier rules out key UK customs proposal



The EU's chief negotiator has ruled out allowing the UK to collect customs duties on its behalf, a key UK proposal for post-Brexit trade.
Michel Barnier said the UK wanted to "take back control" of its money, law and borders - but so did the EU.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/44964521


More evidence to suggest Brexit is dead in the water as it stands. PM May get your arse back to Westminster along with the rest of you MP's we are facing a total sham and crash bang its all going to pot situation.

Prime Minister Theresa May is to hold Brexit talks with the Austrian chancellor on Friday before heading off on her summer holiday.
Mrs May will also attend a music festival in Salzburg as a guest of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
She is holding talks with Mr Kurz and Czech PM Andrej Babis as she seeks to win support for her proposals for the UK's future relationship with the EU.




But the EU's chief Brexit negotiator has rejected a key element of her plan.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44975696


So what is the point? This women is a sham of a PM.




Boris is at it again...

Boris Johnson in call to ‘chuck Chequers’ as he renews assault on Theresa May’s Brexit plans



Boris Johnson has fired another broadside at Theresa May’s Brexit plans, branding them unworkable and calling on fellow Tory MPs to “chuck Chequers”.
The former foreign secretary – who walked out of the Cabinet days after signing up to the package at the Prime Minister’s country residence – said Mrs May’s blueprint would leave the UK in “vassalage, satrapy, colony status” to the EU.

Pro-Brexit Labour MP Kate Hoey has vowed to resist efforts to deselect her after her local party in Vauxhall passed a vote of no confidence in her.

The activists are calling on Labour to suspend her from the party and declare her ineligible to stand as a candidate.

They have accused her of "colluding" with UKIP's Nigel Farage and "propping up a failing government".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44979281

The madness from within is still rife apparently.

Catfish 07-27-18 08:51 AM

^ As usual, the comments are the best :haha:

"This morning Sky News reported that Mrs May was going to Australia. Whilst I was busy thinking that Savid Javid had reintroduced transportation, it transpired she had only gone as far as Salzburg. What a disappointment!
For the next month or so we are going to see UK ministers up to their old game of trying divide and rule on the natives of Europe. I can't see it working somehow."

It's all in the detail :03:

John Cleese "I don't make jokes, i just point them out" :arrgh!:
