Boris The Buffoon

[rich47]

So we are destined to suffer this utter buffoon in Downing Street just to keep the Tory Party together and in power. God help us all .....and they think it is democratic????

[naomi24]

danny, it's been 'as we stand at the moment' more than once. I'm not holding my breath.

[ToraToraTora]

well I'd rather suffer Bojo tha the anti semitic, terrorist loving anti British, Czech spy leading the opposition.

[ToraToraTora]

"very few have noticed - there is no other brexit agreement so it is accept or bust " - I'm happy with "bust" twopee.

[Gromit]

There are two or three rounds of voting to go, so it might not be the foregone conclusion it appears now.
And Boris is only ever 5 minutes from an embarrassing gaffe, so it could all go pear shaped very quickly.
It is scary that someone so obviously unsuitable is the front runner to lead a scary and unsuitable Government.

[Old_Geezer]

If Boris is a buffoon, then Lord only knows what the others are, given they are less likely to get sufficient support to become party leader. Be thankful Boris is around.

\\.and they think it is democratic???? //

we run a parliamentary democracy, we elect the party, the party elects the leader.

Talking of democracy, we should have left the EU on the 29th March and people (remoaners) have been trying to stop us, didn't thats not democratic.

not sure he will be as popular with the electorate. esp with endorsing higher tax breaks for the ri H, selling arms to the Saudis to bomb children in Yemen.. all the lies written on that bus. geez

[Jackdaw33]

He is 71 votes ahead of his nearest rival with well over 1/3 of the votes cast. It will take an event of seismic proportions to prevent him winning IMO.

[JimF]

The only thing that can derail his campaign now is serious force majeure.

Sorry for delay in answering your query just returned home.
Our gobby little chef is one wide boy who believes his cooking programme notoriety entitles him to influence the population on his political views. Bit like Gary Lineker and Lily Allen. Only they are not overpaid 2nd rate cooks.
He goes by the name of Jamie Oliver and he, with his wife Jools have threatened us with upping stumps and departing our sceptered Isle if Boris becomes Prime Minister.
He will of course be taking his brood with them,Poppy Honey Rose,14,Daisy Boo Pamela,12, Petal Blossom Rainbow,6 and five year old Buddy Bear Maurice.

Come Brexit just how will we cope in the UK with this mass Brain Drain?

[Jackdaw33]

Even if Boris comes 2nd he is likely to win with the party members' votes.

[moonraker558]

I wish Nigel Farage would put himself forward for the job, it would make British politics a damn site more enjoyable to watch and maybe we would all get a good deal and then be able to bury all of this brexit garbage and get on with the rest of our lives.

Retro, you forgot River Rocket Blue Dallas.

19:53, another one who can't read English, PMSL!

[nailit]

Is this the same Boris that want to give tax cuts to the rich while taking free TV licenses from OAP's?

[Jackdaw33]

If Boris tops the poll by a wide margin it would not surprise me if the runner-up withdrew, handing him the crown, as happened with May. We may not have to wait till the end of July to see a new PM installed.

He is supposed to be restricting his media appearances so as to not score a last minute own goal!

[Baldric]

I'm an OAP, I am quite happy to pay for my own TV Licence, no probs.

Good for you.
Personally, I think that OAP's and people that fought for our country should be entitled to a few concessions at least.
But that's just me!

[Jackdaw33]

I too am an OAP, thought not old enough to qualify for a free licence. When I reach 75 I will find myself £2.84 per week worse off. How will I cope? I'll have to go into the workhouse!
