If these politicians lie then yes they should be called out as liars. I would go further and get them locked up if I had my way.

In my case I will not pay their rip off prices, brexit concerns are well behind the shocking prices for stuff these days.

Boris is little or no different to most politicians, even the ones I have personally known over the years.

Project Fear in full swing.

What next! Mike Ashley blaming his failing business empire not on his disgraceful operational methods but on Brexit?

European Council President Donald Tusk has said the EU is "willing to listen" to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's ideas for Brexit if they are "realistic".

Speaking at a press conference at the G7 summit in Biarritz, France, Mr Tusk said he would "not cooperate on no deal".

Mr Tusk and Mr Johnson are due to meet on Sunday to discuss Brexit.

Since becoming prime minister, Mr Johnson has insisted the UK will leave the EU on 31 October.

Mr Tusk said Mr Johnson is the third British prime minister he will have met since the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016.

He said: "The EU has always been open to cooperation. One thing I will not cooperate on is a no deal.

"We are willing to listen to ideas that are operational, realistic and acceptable to all EU member states.

"I still hope Prime Minister Johnson will not like to go down in history as Mr No Deal." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49458293

Come on Boris, now is the time to put up or shut up.

He has no answer that was clear when he went to Germany/France. He is trying to blame them for the crash out that is on its way.

Either way all will become apparent in another thirty odd days.

STEED · 08-24-19, 08:04 AM

The game of bluff is going to end or is it......

Jimbuna · 08-24-19, 08:28 AM

Come 31st October all will be revealed.

Have a question about your politicians and their promises they tell you.

A couple years back one of your parties-The Tories(if I remember correctly) had absolutely majority in the Parliament.

What I wonder-Did they fulfill all of their promises, most of them or some of them. Promises they had given you before the election.

The reason is here in Denmark the politician use as an excuse.

"We did not get the majority, so our promises could not be fulfilled"(or similar words)

I doubt any political party has delivered on pre-election promises Markus.

Boris Johnson has asked the attorney general, Geoffrey Cox, whether parliament can be shut down for five weeks from 9 September in what appears to be a concerted plan to stop MPs forcing a further extension to Brexit, according to leaked government correspondence.

An email from senior government advisers to an adviser in No 10 – written within the last 10 days and seen by the Observer – makes clear that the prime minister has recently requested guidance on the legality of such a move, known as prorogation. The initial legal guidance given in the email is that shutting parliament may well be possible, unless action being taken in the courts to block such a move by anti-Brexit campaigners succeeds in the meantime.

I really do hope he is not seriously contemplating this.

I'd rather he took his chances in a general election.

All they do is lie lie and lie again, as the old saying goes keep on telling lies and the lies will sound like the truth.

Every political party in this country is a bloody disgrace, some are more disgraceful than others.

mapuc · 08-25-19, 11:06 AM

Heard on the news yesterday, Boris is investigating possibility to shot down the Parliament for X-weeks starting on Sept 9th.

I have no clue about the English law surrounding the Parliament and the election rules.

Can a Prime minister do that in England ?

And what will be response from the Parliament ?

I also heard that some(didn't catch the name)would take it to high court, if this step was taken.

My thoughts
Poor Jim, STEED and other British/English member.
