And now the media are talking about a potential pact between Johnson and Farage “when” Johnson becomes PM, so that the Brexit Party will, effectively, be running the country ....... anyone else think this smacks of the National Socialists in Germany (a minor party gradually taking over) ?

 

Boris as Paul von Hindenburg? Nice analogy!

 

Was Paul von Hindenburg fat and ugly?

 

Pretty much!

 

How about this statistic to ponder? The world's richest 26 billionaires own as much wealth as the poorest 3.8 BILLION people. So 26 people have as much wealth as the POOREST HALF of the world.

 

Can't LIKE your post Dave. It's all-too easily true. Where's Jeremy?

 

I have read that when a General Election is called that the Tories are asking Farage not to put up a candidate in a seat that has a Brexit supporting Tory MP.
If Farage wants his party to be taken seriously, then he should be telling them to feck off.

 

Jeremy has completely ****ed up the Labour Party and any meaningful opposition, because he will not endorse a people’s vote because he hates the EU as much as the right wingers. If there had been a decent opposition, this whole **** show wouldn’t be going on. There’d have been a general election months ago and the Tories would have been consigned to history ......

 

I’d love someone to see if they can actually do that legally?

 

UKIP did it in some areas in the past.

The Tories would now rather face Scottish independence than lose Brexit. Excoriating stuff from the New Statesman:

In short, he's a buffoon. Albeit a dangerous one. Almost Trump-like.

 

Jeremy Hunt making promises. I wonder who gets to choose when the older people die?

 

Great piece by Polly Toynbee in today’s Grauniad:

No.......... no use to me....Ive decided Im gonna live forever..........

 

Seriously, what do these people have for brains.
Let’s destroy the UK and it’s economy, rather than risk having a PM who wants to end inequality and give support to the poor, disabled and the work force, whilst clamping down on tax avoidance.

 

And these are the people who are going to elect the next Prime Minister.

Unbelievable.

 

Piles 1 & 3: This is a poll of members of the Conservative AND UNIONIST Party.

Pile 3: DUP, take note. They simply don't care about you.

Pile 2: I'm all right, Jack, this isn't going to hurt me, I live in the Shires with no mortgage and a good pension. **** you.

These members must be ex Kippers because I do not believe for one moment, traditional Conservative members surely do not want Brexit any more than I do.

 

Another question in the same YouGov poll as the one above, says it all:
