Along with Rees Mogg who as Lord President of the Privy Council and who was complicit in misleading the Queen

I would detest that man if I didn't know anything about him. I hate his face.

Grandad1943 Tue 24-Sept-19 21:47:40

M0nica, in regard to your post @20:58 today, I feel that Tory MPs are keeping "stumm" ,as you put it, simply because they are preparing to throw their wonderful new elected leader "overboard" as I will put it. ?

Labaik Tue 24-Sept-19 21:58:05

Whatever he's done, Johnson will still get a huge pension and police protection for life, won't he?

Grandad1943 Tue 24-Sept-19 22:03:40

Labaik, in all probability yes, just like the failed executives of Thomas Cook in terms of pension.

So Boris Johnson has Donald Trumps full support dies he?
That’s not worth a lot as Trump, it seems, is facing impeachment.
So much for our so-called leaders.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?

MawB Tue 24-Sept-19 22:22:21

Does not “dies” ?

1. It is impossible to shout on an online forum.

2. I have already told you. I haven't a clue about the Irish backstop, but I do know this country now has to look to the future and get on with the next episode. (possibly because I am now bored with the whole shite).

Gonegirl Tue 24-Sept-19 22:28:15

That to "Grandad".

If anyone else breaks the law they have to take the consequences.

Hopefully my useless local ex mp that was has now not only screwed up in every political appointment that he has ever held, proved himself to be both amoral and lacking in any ethical standards but is guilty of acting outside the law as PM.

But the gutter is not low enough for bonking Boris as he is above the law as he has always known and will now attempt to prove over the next few weeks; unless our MPs stop him.

I am not sure that although BJ’s actions were judged unlawful, he did in fact break the law.

Grandad1943 Tue 24-Sept-19 22:52:02

dragonfly46, please explain how can any person act unlawful, but in that act not break the law?

love0c Tue 24-Sept-19 22:55:28

I sincerely hope he does not resign!

absthame Tue 24-Sept-19 23:27:28

[love0c] I agree, I'd much rather see him hauled off to the clink......or even better to the Tower. gringringrin

I assume you all know that if Boris doesn't ask for an extension to the 31stOCT then the Scottish court has the power to override him and send the letter requesting the extension and they will send it ...without a doubt .
David Cameron told us "dont leave us ,lead us " during the 2014 Independence campaign .looks like thats what we'll be doing now

Alexa Wed 25-Sept-19 00:39:19

Will Europe want us back after Johnson has allied us with Trump?

Barmeyoldbat Wed 25-Sept-19 01:30:44

Thats good news Paddyann, thank goodness for Scotland.
Urm, in a post a few pages back you replied to my post and I stand corrected. Any new date for an extension and Parliament will have to vote on it within two days.

The only way out is Revoke, then give it a bit of time planning before jumping in with two left feet and without Boris at the helm.

I think Johnson should be forced to stay as PM and sort out the sh*tstorm he's created. He must be told that he has to revoke Article 50 if he can't come up with a solution to the Irish border, which he promised Merkel breezily that he could. Before the solution is accepted, it must be put to a referendum of the Northern Irish people.

growstuff Wed 25-Sept-19 03:08:40

Gonegirl Are you seriously suggesting that the whole country should be thrown under a bus because you are bored and haven't even taken the trouble to find out how serious the Irish backstop is? Really?

crystaltipps Wed 25-Sept-19 05:57:48

I’d like him to be the shortest serving PM in history - I think he’s got another 46 days to go.

Gonegirl Wed 25-Sept-19 08:36:18

Oh don't be so silly growstuff.

Gonegirl Wed 25-Sept-19 08:47:43

Do you reallythink I can sort out the huge problem of the Irish backstop? Can you?

Someone has to go forward with this and I think Boris Johnson should be allowed to carry on with whatever he has in mind.

I think talking about the whole country being "thrown under a bus" is ridiculous.

Gonegirl Wed 25-Sept-19 08:49:33

growstuff please tell us, what exactly is your suggestion for dealing with the Irish border?

Grandad1943 Wed 25-Sept-19 09:06:46

Gonegirl, I assume your post @08:47 today is addressed to me. However, if you check back on this thread you will find I have not stated in any of my posts that the whole British nation should be "thrown under the bus."

What I did state was that if Johnson wished to save Brexit he would have to throw the DUP and the Northern Irish people "under the bus". The foregoing is somewhat different I feel in wording and concept, I hope you can agree.

As someone who voted remain I always felt that those who voted leave would have answers to such problems as the Irish border issue, but apparently, that is not so, at least on this forum.
