Just think Johnson for UK. Trump for USA we already have Putin for Russia. What a trio.

I would echo the nothing sweet about Johnson! he is hedging his bets and wants to be PM, shudder.

Nothing sweet about Johnson. Morals of a gutter rat. He is desperate for the leadership, so must decide in advance where the vote will fall for EU membership, not an easy decision.

I think he is not as stupid as he looks!
( is this possible?)

Same here kl and I dont know why. He is probably charming, and I try to go out of my way to not go by charm.

I thought I read a few days ago, that he said that he was never in the out camp. But now am reading that according to the media he may lead it.

I've got a soft spot for him but could be convinced otherwise!

I think he's enjoying keeping Dave on tenterhooks...it's all about power for some people, especially politicians! grin

Nothing sweet about Boris Johnson - he's hedging his bets.

You may have to. I don't.

Luckygirl Wed 17-Feb-16 19:10:30

Do you?! Imagine him as party leader and thence PM - the mind boggles!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 17-Feb-16 19:07:24

You have to like him. Really. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 17-Feb-16 19:05:22

Isn't he waiting to see what the General Assembly make of David Cameron's negotiating? I think he really wants out but doesn't want to go against Dave. Quite sweet really.

I cant decide whether I like him or not. I probably shouldnt.

I also cant decide if he is playing fair about the EU in or out decision.
Is everything to him just about himself and his career, and that is why he is fence sitting extraordinaire?
