Boris Johnson - unable to control his emotions.

So, Whitewavemark2, you're an admirer of Churchill (or at least his statesmanship), are you?
What about Churchill's comments on the relationship between the UK and Europe (as expressed in the 30's, I believe)? “We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked but not compromised; interested and associated but not absorbed.” These words seem to me like a pretty good blueprint for our future relations with the EU.

No you clearly misread my post.

Shall I reiterate what I said in more simple language?

You wrote that "Johnson certainly does not attempt to emulate Churchill in statesmanship. In fact I would go so far as to say that his leadership skills are so lacking that he could be seen as the antithesis of Churchill." I infer from that (and from your many previous remarks about the PM) that you consider Johnson's leadership skills to be outstandingly poor.
However, by stating that his leadership skills could be seen as the antitheses (ie the extreme opposite) of Churchill('s), you must therefore consider that Churchill possessed outstandingly good leadership skills.
If that's not a ringing endorsement of Churchill's leadership/statesmanship, then I must be even simpler than you apparently think I am.

Deafening silence from Whitewavemark2.
Funny that...

Here's Chief Mammy herself.

I don’t know that, Callistemon re NS calling herself the Chief Mammy.

Apart from the audacity and vomit-inducing sentiment, it’s downright sinister.

But then in a country that wanted to appoint a public guardian for every single child, because parents are not to be trusted to look after their own children, I suppose it’s to be expected.

Ooh, I’d forgotten that.
Did it just die away in the end?

I tried to link that but couldn't manage it.

Mammy wasn't here to help me

No, but neither is she anyone's Mammy.

Ridiculous

You were right Callistemon ? She is a self styled Chief Mammy ( Mrs Brown’s Boys!) Do you think she was under the influence when she came out with that one???????

If ever Johnson booms out that he wants us to think of him as our favourite uncle ( bit of a black sheep, funny and always good for half a crown) can you imagine the flak??

Omg, that video is nauseating! How patronising is that? And her smug smirk as she says it. ?

Yes and no to the guardian plan, Urmston. It was officially dropped after opposition but some councils, I don’t know if all, still keep a list of children’s names with an official assigned to oversee them.

Whenever I see her from now on I shall see Mrs Brown, lemongrove
