Re: Boris Johnson resigns.

@Ruthio

Read this:

http://www.eutruth.org.uk/

Scroll down the page and you will read that all the main parties are all EU parties, riddled with Freemasons and Common Purpose stooges. Even the BNP, yes the BNP (!) is part of the con, there as a "honey trap" to catch the activists.

I've never really taken the man seriously before.

Yes I've admired his eloquent ability to use the English language to insult oppostion rather well -
"puffed up pompous popinjay" comes immediately to mind!

But I've just taken the time to read his letter of resignation in full, it doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, and I must say I'm quite impressed.

"Brexit should be about opportunity and hope. It should be a chance to do things differently, to be more nimble and dynamic, and to maximise the particular advantages of the UK as an open, outward-looking global economy.

That dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt."

I think we're in for Interesting Times!

Boris Johnson's resignation letter and May's reply in full -

I must disagree. Some may call him a "puffed up pompous popinjay", but I agree with everything he said in his letter and admire his willingness to give up his well-paid job in favour of making his genuine beliefs known.

You cannot tell who will go off in a huff next. Theresa May comes across as very calm and sensible in comparison. She has an impossible task.

He didn't go for leadership because he knew as any blind man did, whoever did was on a hiding to no where

he's been biding his time

The Brexit agreement announced this week will be enough to get him the leadership I think

I didn't vote Brexit to find Im still tied to the apron strings

JBR you are funny!
It was his insult, he said it!
I think it might even have been aimed at Khan, can't quite remember...if it was then he was right!

But I do like the letter...

Rubbish.

Would you show loyalty to someone who you are certain is wrong and, what's more, is damaging the country which you are paid to represent?

Yes, I suppose you would.

Re: Boris Johnson resigns.

They are talking about this new crisis being a good reason for a new public vote. I think most people are well and truly sick of Brexit.

My apologies. That's how I read it in your post.

Still, I'm pleased that you enjoy my entertainment value!

Of course I knew you'd think it's much better to weaken the government and let Jezza in.

No. It is May who has weakened the government by going against what the majority voted for.

She is the one who has lost much of the Conservatives' support in the voting population.
