I'm surprised other international "terrorist" groups have never thought of such a nefarious tactic

Guess we'll just have to wait for the floods to take effect when the Tory seaside crinklies eventually decide climate change doesn't just affect socialists Cleethorpes first I should think....

No, but think about all that heat that anarchists holding hands creates! Totally irresponsible with all this global warming. Could this be responsible for those record temperatures today?

You'll probably find those record temperatures are a result of the long term upward trend which is only going to get worse thanks to you climate change deniers.

The fact that these temperature records keep being broken repeatedly in recent years, or that the sea keeps rising might be a clue to those that find it hard doing thinking.....

Anyway,, an interesting view on Bozza from across the he pond...

Quote:
A leading US television news host has delivered a brutal assessment of the new prime minister Boris Johnson, saying Britain now faces a “level of chaos … not seen since World War II.”

Lawrence O’Donnell, host of the MSNBC network’s The Last Word, could barely contain his astonishment at the “crazy” process that allowed the Tory MP to take power after “just over one-tenth of one per cent of the British population” voted in the leadership contest.

The veteran anchor attacked Mr Johnson for offering “impossible” promises and said he was someone who did not “distinguish between fact and fiction”.

Point proved about those unable to do thinking ! The Commons isn't there for entertainment, and when climate suddenly does become the no 1 priority it'll be too late, - it probably already is tbh. Deal or no deal, Brexit will be irrelevant.

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government

Great comment in the FT from "FFD"
Quote:
Mr Johnson told the Commons that the current terms of the withdrawal agreement — negotiated by Theresa May, his predecessor, and rejected three times by parliament — were “unacceptable”.
It's funny that from the 32 people that sit in the new cabinet, 28 of them found the terms acceptable last March, and the only Johnson that actually said it was not acceptable isn't named Boris:

Aye - Boris Johnson MP
Aye - Dominic Raab MP
Aye - Sajid Javid MP
No - Priti Patel MP
Aye - Stephen Barclay MP
Aye - Ben Wallace MP
Aye - Robert Buckland MP
Aye - Matt Hancock MP
Aye - Gavin Williamson MP
Aye - Elizabeth Truss MP
Aye - Andrea Leadsom MP
No - Theresa Villiers MP
Aye - Grant Shapps MP
Aye - Robert Jenrick MP
Aye - Alok Sharma MP
Aye - Nicky Morgan MP
Aye - Amber Rudd MP
N/A - Natalie Evans, PC
Aye - Alister Jack MP
Aye - Alun Cairns MP
Aye - Julian Smith MP
Aye - James Cleverly MP
Aye - Rishi Sunak MP
Aye - Jacob Rees-Mogg MP
Aye - Mark Spencer MP
Aye - Geoffrey Cox QC MP
Aye - Esther McVey MP
Aye - Brandon Lewis MP
No - Jo Johnson MP
Aye - Oliver Dowden MP
Aye - Michael Gove MP
Aye - Kwasi Kwarteng MP
