Boris will wipe the floor with Farage on that side of the equation.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

Totally agree Hugh. However there is a significant selfish section of our society who really don't care about poor/vulnerable, just themselves and misleading others.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

And you assume that all the downsides we keep hearing about will not be more than compensated by the upsides of all the new opportunities that will arise post Brexit.

I can't see the EU prospering much compared with the rest of the world over the coming years. Why would you want to get sucked further into that bureaucratically stifling hell that is the EU. You know what they say - better out than in.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

They also say 'better the devil you know', and 'the grass is always greener on the other side' ;)

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

I think Boris's promises on various fronts will be popular in the country and getting us out of the EU on 31 October will be rewarded by a grateful electorate. He will be elected with a much increased majority on 1 November if he's forced into calling an election by a vote of no confidence.

The Brexit Party will crash as it will no longer be relevant and has no policies on anything other than Brexit, which will have been achieved.

You had the same optimism about Mother Theresa, you thought she was a wonderful job with Brexit a few months ago. Who next? Jimmy Krankie ? He/she would be an improvement for sure.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

Jimmy Krankie is currently very busy trying to foment constitutional chaos here in Scotland. Current stage name is Nicola. Be careful what you wish for.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

And if Brexiteers are right and the opportunities from leaving the EU help our economy to prosper, how will that not help the poor?

Nobody wants a poorer society apart from Jeremy Corbyn and his henchman, McDonnell, who want to wipe out everyon's savings by printing as much money as they want and force food prices up by creating rampant inflation.

I want to see a prospering economy and a government that ensures that people in poverty are helped towards a better existence. Anything wrong with that?

No, I didn't but I was in favour of leaving with a deal. However, given the concerns over the backstop and the rather uncomfortable closeness her Withdrawal Agreement would have brought us towards the EU, I now believe that a no deal is preferable. I was worried about the short term more than anything.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

What upsides?

Re: PM Boris forms a government

We'll have a far healthier population due to food and fuel shortages. ;)

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

Some common sense at last. No Deal was not promised in 2016 and was not part of the campaign. Quite the opposite in fact.

I am glad someone actually is being honest with what actually happened. When you then add 54% of the electorate voted for parties rejecting No Deal at the last GE, it really makes it very clear.

Any other position is just duplicitous posturing by those who wish to impose an ideological Brexit at all cost. We need more honesty here. The Hard Brexiters are willing to risk the livelihoods of us all, they just do not give a damn.

What is quite telling is that there are many who whined & moaned about the money spent by Cameron on the Remain leaflet who are totally silent on the many, many millions more planned to be spent by Johnson on No Deal propaganda.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

Thank God, thank you, papa. I didn't fancy going through all that again!

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

Mmm.. Brexit snake oil .. love it!

Now post some links to objective, independent research and we can debate the conclusions.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
 

The referendum was for leaving or staying in the EU. Boris is perfectly within his rights to take us out.

No deal is better than a bad deal. Heard that one before?

The dystopian view you have been sucked into believing from the EU collaborators will not happen. How can you believe that nonsense? Now they are trying to claim that food rationing will have to be introduced!

Is there nothing this lot won't say to frighten people into believing this claptrap?

I'm surprised that none of these truthtwisters haven't yert claimed that we're all gonna die!
