kingkisnorbo Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 The Johnson back stuff is akin to the noise about Trump getting another go in 2024. Fvcking frightening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobyfox1990 Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 (edited) It's extraordinary how much the british public take without taking action. I think it's limitless actually. We might go through a fair few PMs before the next election but i reckon Boris wins it in 2024. They've ripped apart the whole country, including the heartlands and the middle classes in the last few weeks. No one is safe and no.10 still has windows.

Greg2607 Posted 20 October 2022 Share Posted 20 October 2022 to put this into context...... Newcastle United and Crystal Palace have had Half as many new managers in the last 6 years, vs the number of new prime ministers.... You can't run a current with that amount of change and turmoil and expect positive outcomes for the general populace. It's absolutely farcical. Clearly, there isn't going to be a general election in the near future, but Jesus.. someone needs to get a grip and steer the country through the mess they have orchestrated.

You can’t be outside the single market and not have a customs border either in the Irish Sea or on the Irish border. The only way to solve it is to either rejoin the single market or for Ireland to unite again. I suspect both are an inevitability within the next 10-20 years or so at this point, as both hands will be forced due to the utter absurdity of Brexit. So you agree with my assertion there is unfinished business and more to do considering the comments in your second paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way a general election happens is the government starts to lose votes in parliament. That’ll take people defecting to save their behind before the inevitable ending. Fair to say. Well, the next few months to years certainly aren't going to be boring, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don’t. There’s nothing to “finish”, Boris has already created a border within the UK’s own borders. It’s an utterly bizarre decision largely without modern precedent to stick a divisive border up in your own country, as even the Berlin Wall was imposed upon Germany by the Soviet Union. But it’s a pretty final decision and he has made his bed on that one. UK government has no control over an Irish Unification referendum, as per the Good Friday Agreement it can be automatically triggered by Stormont when it looks likely it will succeed. It’s not the same as a Scottish or Welsh independence referendum, where the UK government has to grant one. And he was elected on his “oven ready deal” to leave the single market. He doesn’t have the mandate to reneg on that. It’s done as far as Boris is concerned. It’s an utter insanity that will inevitably tear apart the UK and will be inevitably be reversed in a generation when people are far enough removed from the original vote. But Johnson‘a decision to leave the common market has already been played out. There’s nothing unfinished in Northern Ireland in that regard.

There is no serious debate on this matter. The truth is as @Sampsonsaid and no one, not even Boris with his con artistry can actually make that different. Of course, he could lie and con enough of the British populace again to make it seem that he's made it different, that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly scary stuff. If Johnson is allowed back because the Tories think they can win another election then it suggests they think enough of the public are like them and without principles.

Not circus acts with light up shoes and spinning bow ties. A large portion of idiots voted for Johnson because of this. They thought he was a bit funny. A bumbling idiot. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have a boring choice, who offers stability and a vision for the country, as opposed to the clusterF*&k "personalities" the tories have inflicted on us for the last few years. Running a country isn't a job for comedians. It's for statesmen. give me starmer over your lot any day of the week. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
