Urmstongran Mon 02-Sept-19 22:23:46

We know it isn’t .... until the fat lady sings!

Yes there is humour on this site, it comes from all you leavers thinking its all over.

Urmstongran Mon 02-Sept-19 22:00:01

Love your comment petra!!

Oh it’s nice to enjoy a little humour on these Brexit sites.

Urmstongran Mon 02-Sept-19 21:57:47

Again, thank you Boosgran!

Well the Johnson's words sounded like a manifesto to me. I guess they must think that we have all forgotten that they are the ones who have decimated the NHS, schools, police etc. So Oct 14th is on the cards!

EnglishRose Mon 02-Sept-19 19:56:14

Petra ???. I’ll share him with you if he brings this off ?

Smileless
I'd get him a hairnet. Now I've got an image that I can't get rid of. ?

There you go predicting the future again UG

Seems to me that all he said in his speech was that if everything went pear shaped it would be everyone's fault but his and then went on to promise money for the NHS, Police etc that had got nothing to do with us being either in or out of the EU....

You'd never cope with all that hair petragrin.

Oh dear.

petra Mon 02-Sept-19 19:21:16

I think I want Boris's babies.

lemongrove Mon 02-Sept-19 19:20:23

Does that mean you are ignoring the poll that says Labour is nowhere in the polls? ?

SirChenjin Mon 02-Sept-19 19:18:50

Then let’s hope that all of you who ignore the polls are right to do so smile

Boosgran Mon 02-Sept-19 19:16:57

Absolutely Urmstongran well said! Agree 100%!

lemongrove Mon 02-Sept-19 19:15:25

It will translate to a Parliamentary majority if there is an GE and they do as well as expected.

SirChenjin Mon 02-Sept-19 19:14:54

See my previous post

EnglishRose Mon 02-Sept-19 19:12:08

Most....apologies. Proving the MAJORITY of voters are still Leavers ?

EnglishRose Mon 02-Sept-19 19:10:50

Rarely have polls been anywhere near accurate, but mist of the media, including the handful of unbiased ones are predicting at giant win for Boris at a GE.

SirChenjin Mon 02-Sept-19 19:10:02

Yeah, they’re in front of Labour - so? That doesn’t translate to a parliamentary majority or that the majority of voters want to leave without a deal.

lemongrove Mon 02-Sept-19 19:08:58

So, if you do trust polls......

SirChenjin Mon 02-Sept-19 19:08:28

Not in the national polls.

I’m willing to bet you would be shouting from the rooftops if the referendum had gone the other way in 2016 and now the polls showed more people wanted to Leave. The right wingers would have donned their MUGA hats and we’d have another referendum next week. Away with your ‘don’t believe the polls’ - you’re fooling nobody (with any sense)

lemongrove Mon 02-Sept-19 19:07:35

Hate to break it to you SirC that polls show the Conservatives are way in front of Labour should there be a GE any time soon.
If anyone (who previously would have voted for the Brexit Party) now decides to go back to backing the Conservatives now that Johnson is PM that it rises very high for them.

EnglishRose Mon 02-Sept-19 19:04:46

I read the opposite on Facebook and Twitter today .... no one can trust Polls.... they told us remain would win in 2016, etc etc ......
