    His policies shown above mean that he's definitely, 100%, changed his mind. Factually, those policies deliver Brexit.

    Leaving with a deal is leaving.

    No mate not forgetting..........oh and for the record am no fan of Boris! I cannot believe people are making so much over a row between him and his partner. Going back in History Winston Churchill was known to have one hell of a temper. He and his wife were forever arguing. As were some of the others that followed him.

    The saddest thing to come out of this Boris row issue, and the manhandling of the climate change woman, is that some people think it is acceptable behaviour.
    Yesterday morning I watched the locals, in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, taking part in a charity fund raiser in support of female equality and to fight against abusive behaviour towards women.
    As this is my adopted, second home, I was proud of their efforts.
    What I am witnessing from certain MPs, and political parties, in the UK, fills me with disgust.
    Oh, and the Tory nomination for the By Election (Brecon?) is going to be the same person who was convicted of fiddling his expenses and given a no confidence vote, pushing him out of office thus forcing the by-election. <doh>
    The race to the bottom is gathering pace.

    I know you're not a fan of Boris. However, perhaps you're not as unforgiving as I am of liars, who do it for self betterment in a world of service to a country. For starters, remember that Boris is instinctively a Remainer. He changed because he saw it was good for him, not because he saw any spectral light of truth. Going back into history, one never heard about ill behaviour, because the Press toed the line, but at least those people had the class to argue in private anyway. To those Ministers and PMs, service was still something they put first before themselves. Or at least they said so and that was the perception. Johnson doesn't even know what service to the nation means.

    And when I call Johnson a buffoon, I'm actually praising him. I could call him racist, a misogynist. He displays xenophobia, is a liar [mentioned before], is self-serving, and therefore unpatriotic, and the best animal for getting the Tories out of office. So at least he has one redeeming feature. But I'd prefer it if he didn't get a chance to access that.

    Boris is possibly the worst example around in this country at the moment, but hardly any of the Tory Party show any sign of following the Churchillian code for MP’s of country first, constituency second, party third, and self-interest a distant fourth. With practically all of them, especially the hard-Brexiteers, self-interest is the prime directive, the thing that gets them out of bed in the morning, and what they dream of when they sleep. They don’t advocate leaving the EU because it’s the Will of the People, or because it will be in any way good for the country, but because it will be good for their pockets, and good for their financial backers. In short, none of the Conservative and Unionist Party MP’s actually represent the best interests of anything other than a tiny fraction of their constituents, and it beggars belief why anyone should even consider ever voting for them again.

    <laugh> Nearly all of us have recorders to hand nowadays mate - I’m willing to bet you do too.

    They’re called phones.

    Our company uses a special app to do it so you can report them to us as a noise nuisance. (creatively called noiseapp).

    When my neighbour's ex showed up at 2am and started making threats, I definitely started recording immediately after calling the police.
