This is not America and neither is Boris.

It depends on the word used. But well done - you knew what it meant, others may not, that's the issue. I have never come across that word. I shouldn't have to look it up to work it out, that's the issue and why we call people by their names.

I was repeatedly berated in 2017 for referring to Labour as "IRAbour", after many complaints and internal discussions, I agreed to refer to groups or individuals, using their proper names. If I can do it, so can others.

He did have dual nationality UK/US for a while until he renounced his US citizenship.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

As is everyone else it seems.
You don't know the details, I don't know the details

No doubt about an arguement . . . but who started it and why is the talking point (but obviously Boris is the bad guy 'cos everyone says so) :rolleyes:

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

He's just a regular guy with the usual human failings. Not like these 'butter wouldn't melt' establishment figures.

That's why people like him, which is something those on the other side don't get. Young people like him too, which is a plus for the Conservatives.

I think he was looking at porn on his tablet, and when she tried to grab it (the tablet :erm:), he spilt his red wine.

You have to sympathise with him really! :D:D

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

Get real OB, stop making things up again. "Regular guy " .. loved this one! "People like him"? I am sure some do, poor things, but really?

and the best one: "Young people like him too" What a porky! In 2016, 69 per cent of 18-to-30-year-olds wanted the UK to remain in the EU so yeah, they really like someone who will not only take us of of the EU but do it on disastrous No Deal terms.

Of course if you have some facts to back up your claims, please share ..

Too much sherry today, perhaps? ;)

Hooray, a human politician at last!

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

You must mix in some strange circles...

Most of the ‘regular guys’ I know haven’t had multiple mistresses, had one of their mistresses have abortions, or has fathered at least one and probably two children with mistresses, although he has never publicly acknowledged the latter and only acknowledged the former after a three-year legal battle with a newspaper, and has been fired repeatedly for lying (once from the Telegraph and once from the post of Shadow Arts Minister)...

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

Brexit and Boris are not exactly the same. True, the majority of young people seem to favour the remain camp, largely owing to the indoctrination going on in schools, colleges and universities.

But they do listen to Boris, and I think many could be persuaded of the benefits of leaving. I think young people may end up listening more intently to Boris than their teachers and lecturers.

I never cease to be surprised to hear what my 8-year-old grandson is being taught at school. In my day, teachers were not allowed to spout their own political opinions in the classroom, which is how it should be.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

Yes he bullshits and lies just like the others....

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

Nor anyone I know, either. But the admiration for his escapades is universal!

Just like the majority of the population, I guess.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

My parents put soap in my mouth if l ever lied..

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

I very much doubt that. The majority of young people I know don't want to leave the EU.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

And they wanted to Remain so much that they got off their arse, went out and voted to Remain, oh wait... :rolleyes:

Enough of this belittling bullshit ^^^. I am going to start cracking down hard on people who talk to others like this.

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

I wonder why?

Teacher, leave them kids alone!

Ah, the good old days!

Lloyd George wasn't a saint, either, was he?

Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
 

Easy .. because they are (now, more than ever) aware, both politically and socially, of the benefits of remaining part of the EU.

Back on topic, the choice of Johnson is to be welcomed I suppose. At least he will hasten the demise of the Tory Party and bring the country back from the brink.
