Ten days of boris and I am already bored to death with him and his government. I suggest we put the animals of London Zoo in charge after all they will far more interesting.

A better idea would be to put certain politicians in cages together with certain animals of prey, and be sure not to forget the german ones please when you do so.

The magic money tree produces a windfall for the NHS now as bojo gives it a good shake.

Maybe we should all ask for some money as bojo is giving it away like there is no tomorrow.

Any suggestions for both human and animal contestants?

And why not?

A great many of us have paid large sums in taxes.

I'll leave it there.

Dear Prime Minster Johnson

As a humble ex police officer whom has done there bit for Queen and country, supported you throughout your political career and a hardline brexiteer I plead to you please give me some money.

I'm down too my last pack of four beers, please take pity on me a big time supporter of your wonderful exciting dynamic government. I'm not asking for much, just a half a million too help me though my pension years. I let you visit me for a media photo shoot that will boost your ratings even more.

Yours
Jimbo

Wrong, was a Labour Party member for almost a quarter of a century.

Quote:

Wrong, simply a believer in politicians honouring the referendum result which they overwhelmingly voted to do.

Quote:

Wrong, there are currently sixteen cases in my storage area.

Really? your words and most certainly not mine.

Quote:

Nope, pretty much self sufficient in the financial department.

You really need to take stock of yourself if you don't want to lose that image of being a pseudo curmudgeon.

Hey jim how the heck is bojo going to know the facts, after all hes a politician.

EU leaders must give their chief negotiator the mandate to revise the UK's withdrawal agreement, otherwise a no-deal Brexit is "coming down the tracks", the Brexit secretary has said.

Totally expected message but in reality ain't gonna happen.

The EU has nothing much to loose why we have everything to loose. This government sounds wreckless, the question is are they going to act in the same way.

Skybird · 08-04-19, 02:17 PM

A way to look at the past two weeks is that BJ knows he cannot do much and thus tries to mobilize his voters for general elections, playing the "Tough Brexiteer" card.

He might fall for the same miscalculation like once May did when calling early elections: that such elections will provide the PM with a stronger majority.

The EU of course will stand ready to accept any further delay in exit dates. In fact already several weeks ago Tusk had invited the UK to take more time. Much more time.

Infinite amount of time, at best. That way, things stay as they are and the UK remains a EU member.

Catfish · 08-04-19, 02:26 PM

Tusk's more pro british than the whole Tory Party

If it all goes so "nice for the EU" as Skybird claims, exactly his would kill Europe. Bogged down for years investing all energy in useless negotiations with Corbyn or Johnson or Farage who all despise Europe.
And it seems they despise Europe more, than their population does.
