Johnson is useless.

Corbyn would have been dangerous.

CHECKS NOTES

Russian donors
Russians in the House of Lords
Bunga Bunga parties attended in Italy as foreign secretary in Italy with no security

OK

All of which are bad, but nonetheless, the government have supported Ukraine militarily and enacted sanctions against the Russian government.

Do you honestly think Corbyn, who blamed the Russian invasion on NATO aggression would have done the same?

That's why he's dangerous.

You’re still going to vote for him aren’t you?  Big Grin

I've never voted Conservative in my life either at local or general elections. Now try countering what I've actually said.

For the purist like me, every fucking point. But as I've suggested on here before I suspect less than 5% of voters backed Leave on the principles I did.

I was as surprised as anyone else at the result of the Referendum.

What had you lumped on?

I didn't, but I expected a Leave vote in the mid to high 30%'s

I think a few thought like that, Proth.

In other news about BJ is devastated that he can't visit Russia any time soon.

Just listened to Broadcasting House. Peter Hennessy, a usually quite reserved chap and a constitutional historian, basically said that Johnson is damaging the constitutional integrity of his office and by extension the crown and country.

So that's where we're at.

This has always been my point when I’ve questioned those who put him into power. This was inevitable and yet the concerns were dismissed as pious and naive. I wouldn’t put myself on a pedestal of virtue because I would be found wanting, however I’m not arrogant enough to think that my short comings aren’t important and that I should lead others, make laws they should obey and be the leader of a country. 

The current government is damaging politics and dragging us down.

Strangely when Cameron first put forward the referendum proposal, i assumed at the time that leave would be ahead in the polling, but that a good campaign could turn things round.

Seemed to me that there was a lot of euro scepticism amongst the general public at that time..2013,2014.

Once campaign actually started, always thought it would be a close run thing, was never optimistic of a remain victory.

Parliament vote for an enquiry into whether Johnson lied... sorry "misled" Parliament. The Tories removed the three line whip to prevent any back bench rebellion and it sailed through.

It won't be until after The Met have finished their investigation, though.
