WHO DO YOU FANCY FOR OUR NEXT PM, AND WHY?

We don't need Boris the buffoon

Alan Sugar, long time Labour supporter and highly successful businessman has endorsed Boris. In my opinion Boris is the man to stand up to the likes of Barnier. Junker and Verhofstad. We don't need a quiet, well spoken, well mannered and reasonable good old chap. We need an intellectual, flamboyant, articulate, unafraid and not necessarily totally pc good old chap in our corner, one who is an eternal optimist with a belief in the UK and our ability to drive us onwards and upwards. As long as we have good people in the various government departments to continue to improve our economy, to get a grip of our current crime epidemic and improve educational standards throughout the country we will be more than OK. I'm backing Boris.

So Johnson has agreed to do a debate on the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation channel. Are they bringing out his pal Dimbleby to chair it, I wonder?

Well Labaik.

I think you are wrong he is very strong to stand by his beliefs Labour polices amid the constant smear campaign. Many thousands joined Labour because of Corbyn

He is just what the many need right now a Labour Party transformative progressive led by the man Jeremy Corbyn who can't be bought nor in Murdock's pockets he is not a career politician that's what people like about him.

Oh Elvive give it a rest. As another poster said yesterday, of course life goes on (for us all) whilst Brexit is negotiated! What on Earth is wrong with me having a beer or enjoying the sunshine?

Yes some have concerns which is why people voted (in the minority though) to Remain.

I didn’t.

I shan’t cut and paste. It’s out there but it’s time to move on.

With good grace on my part anyway.

It’s strange how those are drooling over Farage previously backed May, then switching their worship to Raab and now Johnson. Nothing like switching allegiances to supporting the winner. Just shows the shallow nature of certain beliefs.

Grany; weak leadership on any side of the political divide is dangerous. I just think that Corbyn is a weak leader and that Labours 'perfectly clear' stand on Brexit is clear as mud. He also, as a backbencher voted with his conscience but, now he's leader will not allow others to do so. He is a good man; kind compassionate etc but he's not what the country needs at this moment in time. And I say this as someone that has always been a Labour voter. Believe me, it saddens me greatly that I find that I can't vote Labour again until the leadership changes.

I agree Elvive; I just can't understand why so many people are not terrified by what is happening at the moment. I feel as if I'm in one of those nightmares that you're desperate to wake up from, but can't...

The Tory government and only the Tory government is responsible for the mess we are in It has nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn or Labour If you want to get angry blame the MSM who are constantly attacking the Labour leader by smearing lies and the BBC who are bias to the conservatives Cameron got his mates top jobs in the BBC Corbyn is very unfairly represented in MSM so people who are not on social media get a false picture If there was a GE the MSM by law have to show both parties and give them both equal air time that is the only way people can make up their minds when they see both sides represented fairly Jeremy Corbyn is strong and dignified to put up with the constant press TV persistent attacking him but he does not retaliate in kind he stands for fairness equality for Labour polices for the many as he always has done

My punctuation has stopped on iPad keyboard at mo

Please can you cut and paste me so called " bitchy" comments.

Also petra has been pretty damn rude to me and one or two others.

I am worried sick about the country, the future. I find your crowing and love of Farage hard to handle UG, especially when combined with a sort of carefree comment about the weather in Spain or your fun activities. It feels like rubbing
salt in the wounds.
We see the world through very different lenses clearly.

Well said Ww I totally agree. Debate is good and even better if it is courteous. Actually I think some GN’s who read threads would be more likely to join in then.

Credit to you for checking your historic posts and changing tack. I admire you for your honesty and self assessment.
?

I shall continue to rebut your opinions ha!
But with manners as always.

It does sting when someone is mean.

I think that what GN need is a symbol that we can use when someone is being personal and not debating the point in the politics threads

But that doesn’t mean I won’t debate like mad?

Here here. In my previous existence on GN I became the sort of person I simply don’t recognise and got into the gutter. Took an extended break now trying very hard to be me. Play the ball.

Let’s not argue. Me too.
I must remember to play the ball and not the (wo)man!
⚽️

Oh thanks for your reply ug I always seem to get it wrong. Must try to do better?

Not you being bitchy, obviously Ww
Elvive yesterday.

And I’m glad it isn’t just me who thinks it. I know she won’t respond.

What on Earth was bitchy about me questioning whether the rules had been broken, and then suggesting that intimidation isn’t a good trait? Surely you would agree with that statement?

Neither is bitchiness Ww and the similarities are glaring in my opinion.

Oh well, leopards and spots.

After three bloody years, & despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, a significant portion of the country remains in thrall to fact-free pantomime toffs braying that Brexit is deliverable & desirable. They won’t explain why it’s broken & can’t describe how they’ll fix it.

I thought there were rules about pursuing other people’s GN names?

Intimidation isn’t a nice trait

Actually thank you petra after yesterday’s post from Elvive I noticed the similarities in style with the old Lily65 and I had the very same thought!

Elvive were you Lily65?

Sometimes a change of name just won’t cut it. Personal traits win through!
?

If I’m wrong I’d be surprised.

Brussels has been, until recently merely an annexe to Westminster.
Some would say the reverse is true!

No, it doesn't count at all M0nica, I just wanted to point out that he did spend some time 'abroad', so to speak, and was the author of such gems as bent bananas etc.

Johnson’s leadership bus.
