Re: Boris to face Trial

One thing, Corbyn wouldn't have the wit to dream it up even if he found time between sacking party members for standing by their principles and protecting those guilty of Anti-Semitism.

Re: Boris to face Trial

Then you can lock up all politicians. Isn't there some of your politicians who promised ro reduce the number of prisoners? Locking up all politicians would be counterproductive to his policy.

I think politicians should be allowed to lie, the truth is often so dull and doesn't sell as a slogan. Who wants to hear something is bad for you?
And if in the process you are lied to, it's your own fault if you believed the lies. You should have known better.
But then, what can you do when a politician tells what you so much like to be true?

Re: Boris to face Trial

This establishes a very dodgy precedent for politicians. None of them would be safe - especially all the Remain MPs and public figures who have been promoting Project Fear with its claims of economic disaster as a result of the Leave vote. There were many more lies, exaggerations and half truths coming from the Remain side during the referendum campaign. In any case, it is all (to quote the Lib Dems) - Bollocks as I doubt that anyone was influenced at all by the campaigns on either side. Everyone I knew, whether sensible Leavers or sheeplike Remainers, had made up their minds long before the campaigns started.

Re: Boris to face Trial

This is yet another attempt by desperate remain supporters to prevent us from leaving the EU. Johnson has been singled out because he is leading the poll for a new PM and poses the largest threat to remainers getting their way .

If we want to choose examples of 'misconduct in public office after making the claim misleading claims during the 2016 EU referendum campaign' here are a couple...


And I have lost count of the number of times Mrs May said ''We will be leaving the EU on March 29th''


I won't even start on Labour's misleading claims I would be here all day.

Nigel Farage predicted almost exactly the vote %, in the Reuters article.

Re: Boris to face Trial

If he doesn't go to gaol he could end up as PM - That would nicely round off the triumph that is Brexit.

Re: Boris to face Trial

A replacement PM will be appointed before the next general election is due unless it is called early in which case there is a real possibility of a Lib/Lab coalition putting Corbyn in office.

It's more than a remote possibility it could happen at the next GE as is, unless Corbyn does the decent thing and snuffs it.

If he does it's a shame that suttee is out of fashion or we might see Diane Abbott become a sooty suttee!

Gawd, that's really scraping the funny barrel!

Having good taste is a thing that I have never claimed or aspired to.
