So it's Boris

Stella14 piccaninnies, letterboxes, bum boys

It's probably that kind of stuff that got him elected by the paid up members of the Conservative Party.

You're right suziewoozie I should have said curse! - just assumed others would know that...

Britain's emBorisment. Bring on the clowns. I cannot believe that Britain has sunk this low. There is nothing else to say but God help you all - and that is from an atheist!

Craicon for a bet I will give him until the end of September and that is being generous.

We certainly do live in interesting times. We could also say, dangerous times. With Trump in the White House, Johnson in a Downing Street and various extreme right wing leaders (e.g. Bolsonaro in Brazil) around the world, these could so easily become very dark times. I think Johnson is more a f***wit than extreme bigot (although the old adage ‘if you want to know what someone thinks, ask them’ applies - piccaninnies, letterboxes, bum boys). However, he is keen to work with Trump who is a misogynist, white supremacist and that speaks volumes! Then of course his position on Brexit and the NHS are alarming, to say the least.

I prefer Shakespeare suziewoozie. "Wise enough to play the fool".

(As I've said on the other thread)

I’m with you!

Wouldn’t normally correct humpty but think it matters in this instance ?

That is so wrong trisher. It was just Boris being Boris. Do you really want him to behave like an eighty year old? Do you want everyone to behave like eighty year olds?

Humpty - Chinese curse, not proverb!!

Boris the buffoon. Who’d have thought the U.K. could sink so low?
Anyone taking bets on how long he’ll last?

We were from three years ago. [shrug] #spiltmilk

No Gonegirl it was sad. A bit like bald men with comb overs or dreads, or who wear shorts and pretend to be surfers at weekends. Everyone knows they are just trying to cling on to youth. (And failing miserably).

I think we're all in for a rough ride.

For me, the referendum went the wrong way. I am angry and sad about that. Can't see it makes much difference who continues with it all now. Yes I know No Deal would be bad. But there is no deal to had. So......

Agreed, Gonegirl

To quote Fraser in "Dads Army", "We're doomed, doomed I tell ye!"

Boris this side of the pond, Trump the other...............heaven help us.

It was a good speech. The 'DUDE' thing was quite clever.,

His initial speech said it all forgotten what some of them stand for _Deliver Unite D???? and Energise spells DUDE!!! As usual a speech saying exactly what he thinks about most-himself -and what he imagines he is. A PM who thinks he's a "DUDE". There must be laughing in political circles around the world!!

I agree about the laughing stock thing Charleygirl. and the rest as well

Will it? We are the laughing stock of the world as it is. To me it is a nightmare.

gonegirl interesting I don't mind generally but given what's at stake here I'd be happier with bland or boring. The man is regarded as a joke at best. I am still depressed alas

I'm very pleased about it actually.

Gonegirl I think it's more the Chinese proverb 'may you live in interesting times' - that is, maybe not 'cheer up'!

Cheer up. It'll be interesting.
