    The important word there is 'majority'

    A word could well be no longer true.

    By the way, no one has mentioned that Master of Foxhounds Jacob Rees-Mogg has been made Leader of the House of Commons, possibly the scariest appointment yet.

    The front page of the Times today has what looks like a black mourning band surrounding a photograph of that narcissistic fantasist Johnson.

    Which is a nice way of saying that a billionaire conservative financier gave Charlie Kirk several million to create a group that now has extensive ties to white supremacists, and which increasingly serves as a sort of middleman between the alt-right and more mainstream conservatives.

    That's not just me saying that, either. It's other groups of conservative college youth:

    TPUSA isn't the Hitler Youth, no. The Hitler Youth were better organized.

    Narrow, fraudulent, mislead the important words.

    3.8% of those that voted less than 40% of the electorate as a whole far to small a majority for such a momentous decision. Should have been a qualified majority.

    Fraud, admitted see also Aaron Banks ongoing.

    Mislead, scroll through this https://twitter.com/ByDonkeys?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

    It's three years since the vote and the electorate are far better informed and a new vote on any leave conditions would be democracy in action. If, as many leavers maintain, the majority would still be for out a confirmatory referendum holds no fears. Does it?

    They basically mean that the betting market is predicting a General Election this year.

    I didn't agree with her policies but she was no where near as dangerous as this halfwit.

    There are still devastated communities in the former industrial heartlands of Britain who may beg to differ with you there.

    By polls I think Johnson is disliked by more.

    I find my Chinese chum's pronunciation of election quite humorous.

    I've only got your word to take for that :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Back 1.77 Lay 1.89 ?!?!?

    When asked if there would be an election in 2019 1.77m bookies said "Scratch my Back" and 1.89m said "I need a Lay down" ?
