Boris Johnson said that.

Isn't it amazing how you can be well and truly stuffed by something you said so many years ago...?

Back to today and Brexit talk.

I did laugh right out loud when Dominic Raab stated that if we leave on a No Deal basis, well it is the EU that forced us into it, we had/have no choice now. Paraphrasing here.

Imagine an educated lawyer like him stating that the EU is forcing this on us, when that is what he and his cohort hard Brexiteers actually want!

You could not make this up. But is the first salvo IMO in brainwashing the public that the EU is the monster. When they haven't done anything to ensure a Hard Brexit at all.

To hell in a handcart now. More of this codology to follow I suppose. Blame anyone but yourself.

Quite the opposite I think.
Isn’t it amazing how you can get away with so much......for example being factually wrong about gatt 24

Whatever he’s got they should coat saucepans with it.

So a poll with limited sample where remain scored 54% makes Britain remain nation compared to national referendum where leave won 52%?

Poll for the Daily Mail Front page news if it was the other way around.

Not enough scrutiny by those who should be questioning every side. Media I mean.

Total rubbish IMV. We are left with the red tops and the Torygraph, the Mail, and the Guardian. All spouting their own message.

Would love to see an impartial reporter! Not going to happen, so here we are.

There's a funny phone-in on LBC where a trucker phones O'Brien and the trucker totally misses the point.

Yeah. What am I saying?

This will make no difference whatsoever. Being a hypocrite is a misdemeanour, hardly a felony.

I'm sure Bannon sees it the same way...

I heard it, the driver had a Scots accent, just to let you know I am genuine!

He did indeed miss the point, and when O'Brien said something along the lines of "well Brexit will mean no free movement, surely that will affect you" the answer was NO.

There is a cohort for whom reality really is not biting. But the cult of Brexit seems to be working so far.

The fact is that the leadership was handed to Brown on a plate, there was no election within the Labour party, he was promised it a long way ahead. Blair obviously did not care about what he would do to the country and what he had previously done to it.

Not really.
Brown’s coronation predated the introduction of the fixed term Parliament act.
