Taken from the Times today. An extract from a book about Johnson and Brexit on the night of the vote. Im not sure how anyone can read that and not see it as a complete f*** up that was all abut his political ambitions. He **** the country over just to get power.
"Johnson was finding it hard to think straight. He had been up all night watching the television at his Islington home. Only towards dawn did he realise that Vote Leave would actually win. He disappeared to bed for 20 minutes but came back and paced around in a Brazilian football shirt and misfitting shorts looking ashen-faced and distraught. “What the hell is happening?” he kept saying. Then a pang of guilt struck him when he saw pictures of Samantha on the television looking utterly distraught. “Oh my God. Look at Sam. God. Poor Sam.” Soon after, stopping in his tracks, a new thought struck him: “Oh sh1t, we’ve got no plan. We haven’t thought about it. I didn’t think it would happen. Holy crap, what will we do?” Still muttering, he went off to write the speech he knew he would in no time have to deliver.
Those who knew Johnson intimately say they had never seen him more frightened and dismayed than at this moment of triumph. Crowds were shouting angrily outside his house: “People who had patted him on the back when he had been mayor were now screaming at him.” He made it out to the car and his driver shot off down the road but had to stop at a red traffic light at the end. Aides by his side screamed for the driver to shoot straight through the lights, but he refused. “The crowds began banging angrily on the windows and roof. Boris looked terrified. He stared dead ahead, sensing that from this moment on, everything had changed.” |  |

Ipswich could be in the champions league final in 2046 and this forum would still be banging on about Brexit in the lead up to Kick Off. |
I doubt it. We’ll be back in the EU by then. |  | | |

Rightly so.
It's ruined many things both in the present and for future generations all based on a pack of lies which becomes clearer by the day.
Still waiting for that 350m a week for the NHS for instance, that would certainly help pay them better and avoid the strikes.

How anyone can believe a single word uttered by any politician is quite beyond me. Their endless lies, deceit, subversion and idiocy have been relentless for decades.
As long as they keep dividing us, that's all they really care about.
Divide & rule.
And we're so willing to divide that we buy into their manufactured nonsense every single time.
Because the Govt via the media via 'experts' tell us what & how to think. |  |

that's assuming the EU would want the UK back, and if we were to return to the EU, what kind of terms do you think we would get?
We had a lot of concessions previously and generally got things our own way on a lot of what other member states had to comply with - such as single currency, some parts of Maastricht treaty, etc. We'd never get that kind of deal again. |  |

Which makes a bad decision in 2016 turn into an even worse looking one. We only have the Commonwealth left now and we are in serious danger of fouling that up as well... |  |

I agree.
Saying there will be extra funding for the NHS and then not providing it is very unhealthy for everyone.

It’s almost as if the UK had the best of best worlds.
On a serious note, if the UK rejoined the EU in say twenty years time then I think we would be welcomed back but not on the previous terms. I think we may well have to sign up to the single currency but that could be subject to a bit of interpretation of how the wording is interpreted.
As crass as it’ll sound many of the ‘leavers’ will have died on 20 years time and replaced by a younger generation who wouldn’t care less about WW2 or any of the imagery which the Leave campaign brought up. | | | |

Those who have been following this in the Times will not be surprised by this latest 'revelation'.
That a man who has failed or been sacked from every adult job, has a string of failed marriages behind him, should be totally out of his depth comes as no surprise - given that those failures were a direct consequence of his inability to tell the truth or focus on the job.
Not so much a 'rabbit in the headlights' but a man utterly clueless as to what to do - as seen by his constant about turning. The evidence in this book alone highlights how that lack of ability to make any firm decisions and stick with it led to so many pandemic deaths. He even had to be dissuaded from visiting the Queen when he was coughing with COVID.
One hitng that is mentioned is that the 2019 win had little to do with him, as research from Tory HQ sowed. Unfortunately, Johnson thought it had, and that he could relax as he basked in the glory over the next two to three Parliaments.
He was on holiday when Covid first struck, then fu cked off on holiday to Chequers for 12 days when it was ripping through the country. The analogy being D-Day when Hitler was asleep that morning and the German Army was unable to take action.
Expect this to be the first, as others seek to distance themselves from this incompetent charlatan, by going to print. Naturally there are some of the dimwitted who cannot contend with the thought that one of 'their betters' being exposed as such an awful human being, and so will bleat out that the book cannot be trusted because it is being serialised in a Murdoch paper.
Yes, that Murdoch. Who has just coughed up £700m odd in admittance of lying On an industrial scale. So why not add to that bIll by publishing extracts from something that could bring down all manner of libel cases.
Only it hasn't. As Murdoch and the bloater know both it is the truth. And I think even the dimmest of dim cap doffers now know it. But as with Brexit, it is going to take a fair bit of honesty on their part to admit in public that their actions have fcked up the UK badly ......... for many a long year ahead. | | | |

Boris will be back. I wouldn't even bet against him having another shot at PM. |
And I'm sure you'd vote for him | | | |
