PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Baronage-Phase]

But if you don't leave the baby with the wolf the UK will collapse in every possible way!!!

Do you honestly think Brexit will be good for the UK?

 

[Proper Tidy]

I'm probably coming from a different perspective to you.

I dunno. But the EU is a trade bloc so its interests are the interests of capital. Not workers. Night/day north/south type of thing.

Do you think there might be another referendum?

 

[kabbes]

That's awful.
Have you a union that can fight that?

Fight what? This is the law. This is how it works in the U.K. under the vaunted protection of the EU.

 

[brogdale]

for the uk? no. it will just be the k after. for people in the uk? honestly i don't think we'll ever find out.

We can hope for 2 new republics and an enlargement of a existing (foreign) sovereign republic from the break-up of the FUK.

I’m not sure I care what is good for the “U.K.”.

Will it be good for the poorest 80%? Or even poorest 99%? Well, that depends far more on what people want from their society than which set of administrative rules they happen to live under. There is little achieved within the EU that couldn’t be equally achieved outside it if the political will is there to do so. Switzerland aren’t in the EU, neither are Norway, but both nations essentially act as if they were because that is the political will.

Norway & Switzerland are exceptionally wealthy though. Norway sharing its oil and gas wealth with its own citizens.

Will there be another deal then where the UK gets a better eu membership arrangement?

perhaps you should remind yourself of what i've been saying for a long time now, namely that the uk won't in fact leave the eu and i envisage this being resolved through some withdrawal of article 50, most likely following a general election.

Ive steered clear of Brexit threads for ages. So I've probably not read all your posts. Plus my head is addled from stuff that's going on so if I forget...then forgive me.

The EU commissioners are only interested on two thing and that's their pay and the privilege to boss people about and make them do as they see fit
They've not protected new workers from zero hour contracts.
They've not stoped the debacle of student fees
I could go on as I'm sure many on here could. The fact is that while they're making rules, like the common agriculture policy, rules that decimate the fishing industry etc etc, the UK is not safe.
The sooner we leave the better.
I don't think Boris is fit for anything else, I might be wrong only time will tell. If he's as bad as everyone on here thinks then maybe Labour ought to get their act together and get rid of their obstacle to be elected (corbin) and fight a GE.

this would be the labour obstacle to being elected which in 2017 overturned a huge tory lead in the polls and attracted the greatest increase in the labour vote for many decades.

They didn't win. Why did Labour do well, because of the inept twaddling of May who left businesses in a quandary, not knowing if or when it'll happen. If she had done her duty and got us out the GE would have been a much better result for her party I don't think Labour will ever win until corbins gone. If by some miracle they do win with him at the top, it'll be because, either Boris does botch it up or he doesn't get us out. Boris has many faults but he is a very clever man and he knows that if he's to retain his position he won't botch it

boris johnson may be the one man in the country who can deliver a corbyn government.

 

[hash tag]

A nice thought but unlikely

the longer the blond beast is in office the higher the corbyn vote will be

 

[skyscraper101]

John Oliver on Johnson from a couple of days ago. Worth a watch.

rules that decimate the fishing industry

Which rules are those?

Excellent
Boris Johnson faces Supreme Court bid to make him stand trial for 'lying and misleading' in Brexit campaign

[butchersapron]

Marcus Ball, a 29-year-old entrepreneur who has so far raised £570,000 for the case, is now seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.

He essentially tried to make this happen the paper reports it as happening and it gets reported on here as fact.

'faces' ffs.

 

[skyscraper101]

Except that they're not reporting the appeal is happening, nor is it reported as such here.

Tell me, what do you think is happening?

Why would it be in the purview of the EU Commission to regulate student fees or zero hours contracts?

You give the impression of knowing fuck all about the things you've posting about.

I think it's fair to bring up zero hour contract wrt the eu, given the amount of labour legislation it has enacted.

Student fees aren't in there, although you could argue that they should be. Not exactly fair to expect British graduates with 30k tuition debt to compete against, say, German graduates with none (or for that matter, English/Welsh to compete with Scots).

That's not to say EU labour legislation has been totally ineffectual. It worked wrt holiday and sick pay for part-time employees, for instance, something which stays on the books when the UK leaves, but can be taken off the books by a future govt in a way that it currently is not free to do. Regarding Johnson and his cuntfuck of a cabinet, doing such things in a race to the bottom, sorry to keep Britain competitive, is exactly what some of us have feared ever since this nonsense started.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I haven't caught up on the thread, so sorry if this has been posted.

Boris Johnson is facing a media backlash after journalists were barred from asking the new Prime Minister questions on camera during a visit yesterday.

Reporters from the South Wales Argus and Wales Online were among those present during a visit by the new Prime Minister to Newport, where he toured a chicken farm. However, according to Welsh news service Nation.Cymru, those present were told they could only asked Mr Johnson questions if they did not record the answers.

Downing Street said Mr Johnson gave a six-question interview on camera at the visit, which was then made available on a “pooled” basis – but the National Union of Journalists has accused him of “running chicken.”
