Why do Conservatives like Johnson?

childish?

This is pure gossip I’m afraid but it is relevant as it involves our potential next PM.

The police were called to the flat he shares with his latest squeeze because of the racket and apparent altercation taking place.

Must have been bad!

maxdecatt Tourism isn’t the same as citizens rights, sorry ,but easy to get confused. But UK tourists will be worse off as the £ has crashed spectacularly since 2016 , funny that, nothing to do with Brexit obviously as that will be so marvellous. But as none of us will be travelling to the EU in your world , that won’t matter. I doubt if produce from my allotment will feed 60% of the nation, and I’d rather buy stuff from Holland, Spain, France, Italy than further afield, but that’s for environmental reasons, which you obviously have no understanding of, as you believe Boris is a green champion.


The

Or Jeremy Hunt!

The Brecon by-election could be the first real test for Boris Johnson

Oh dear, not another corrupt MP, a Conservative one this time.
It rather evens the latest score.
At least the constituents have had a say since 2016.

Powys (containing the constituency of Brecon and Radnorshire) voted fairly decisively to leave in the referendum, although they have previously returned a Lib Dem to Parliament.
I'm not sure that the Lib Dem will get in although Jane Dodds is a strong candidate - this could be interesting and more about Brexit than anything else.

Crystalips: I am glad you have an allotment and I am sure you enjoy it. That precious time with nature is all too often taken for granted or ignored. I had a small garden that I started when I was 7 years old in a corner of Dad's garden. He told me that I had to look after it, which I did for the next 8 years until I could no longer manage it. Dad has had to take it over, but I still think of it as mine. Now I can only look at it. I grew tomatoes, peppers and carrots. Tried lettuces but the slugs got them! Enjoy yours, I wish I could manage mine.

Elive. Are you suggesting that I need a dose of castor oil?
If only it were that simple a cure I would drink a couple of gallons and ask for more.

Elvive

It means I thought your post was childish.

Of course there wil be continued tourism in both directions. It will only become difficult if the EU decide to make it difficult. The UK has already said that all EU citizens rights will be protected...but, quite notably, the EU has not said that the rights of UK citizens in EU countries (living or visiting) will be respected.

What does that mean? Are you actually sighing or what?

Sigh

You might be onto something there G. Naughty , naughty children should be made to stand in the corner or have a good thrashing.

Nanny will be along later with your favourite nursery pudding and a good dose of castor oil.

maxdecatt do you really think no one from any other countries visits the EU? You haven’t answered that one. Or that people from the U.K. will stop visiting?

I think we're suckers for punishment.
??

maxdecatt sorry not to reply earlier I was tending my allotment. As we import 60% of our food I doubt growing mustard and cress on our windowsill will eliminate the need for food imports. But hey, what’s wrong with spam fritters eh? I doubt if dear Boris will eliminate the need for cross channel ferries or lorries on our roads so I’m not signing up to his vision ( whatever that is - no one knows) for the sake of the environment, thank you. I am sure you realise the environmental cost of air freight is many times more than road or rail so all that stuff we have in our supermarkets from Kenya, Egypt etc ( thank you for telling me -I didn’t know (not) is there despite the awful EU stopping us from doing so ( they don’t) I don’t buy it but I do buy Italian tinned tomatoes, Prosecco, olive oil, lemons etc but hey, with climate change we don’t need them donwe?

Do you ask because you think I am not well? I do not mind. My current health status is a closing chapter of a very short book and I am used to people being curious.

I could be better, I expect. Thank you for asking.

mad, are you quite well?

MaizieD: I know you were responding to mine, that was the whole point of pointing out where you went on about your lettuce fetish.
Tell me, is your handle a play on the words from, "Oh, mairzy doats and dozy doats and little lambsy divey".
Easier to say if you simpl;y recite: "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy". There is a play called "Little Lambs Eat Ivy". Set in a British boarding school in WW2 when evcacuee children arrive to stay. We performed it last term, It was great fun. I was the sportsmaster.

And I refer to yours of Fri 21-Jun-19 11:02, maxde

Now the EU are squabblng over who should succeed Juncker and Tusk and the convicted French (female) criminal that currently heads up the European Central bank. In the French courts she was convicted of money laundering....but what the hell, in the EU it is all crooks to the forefront...she kept her job! Well I never.

MazieD and the lettuce.
Refer to yours of 12 /6/19 at 12.26.30pm. 5th paragraph.

I think it may well go to the Lib Dems too.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the seat go to the LDs. Only needs about 8-9% swing. They should walk it. Leaving Johnson’s majority even smaller. Good.
