The biggest concern I have at the moment is Boris Johnson being brought in as Prime Minister while the electorate helplessly watch.
Surely no one is falling for Boris BS.
Can't believe he's still even hanging around after the last 24 months of shame.
I have long believed Boris Johnson to be a total and utter buffoon. If he was just able to come across as a little bit smarter, he might pass for a fool. That 'people's person' persona that he occasionally badly attempts is overwhelmed by the sense that he was conceived in a gentleman's club, with a woman sneaked in the back door to make it possible. My advice to him would be that he immediately retire to that same club, where his posture, nodding head and half open eyes would be greatly suited to a button back leather armchair. Occasionally he could wake for a refill of an enormous whisky, which might help his few functioning brain cells make any sense of his daily delivered 1930s editions of the Daily Mail.

What a spaffer Johnson is, jizzmiester
 
I see Mcdonald's were asked to stop selling milkshakes prior to a T.C. Farage meeting nearby.

An increase in egg sales reported. In the eggs vs milkshake debated I'd go to work on an egg it being effective long and short range whereas you've got to get up close for max milkshake coverage. A thought, transfer the milkshake to a (recyclable) water bomb bag and make it a 2 pronged approach. KERSPLAT!

I don't disagree with the consensus and am extremely worried how dangerous Johnson is with his extremely right wing views, especially as he is most likely to be the next PM, as the Conservative grassroots love him and the public lemmings think him funny and jockular!

I think someone much closer to Theresa May Will get the Tory MPs vote. Party members get to vote when there is a run-off between the final two.

You have Boris to a tee!

The problem is though that no one thought an idiot like Trump could get to where he is....

Boris is a buffoon, but I think the current Tory party would vote him in...It is like the blind leading the blind.

Boris won’t make it to the final 2 to be voted on by the membership. The Tory MP’s will cook up some sort of fudge, I’m pretty sure.
 
Very bad news from Oz where the Centre-Right coalition have secured an election victory. What is the matter with people voting in these Conservative Governments and their generally twatish policies?


It's the economy, stupid. Australia's has avoided the recession that has stifled most developed economies in the last 10 years, mostly due to providing the raw materials for China's industrial revolution

May is making a big thing about making concessions about "protecting worker's rights" and the "environment". This is why it perplexes me as to why any ordinary working person in the UK (the majority of us) would even consider voting Tory as surely those things should be included as a matter of course.


Working class Tories mate - the absolute definition of people who don't know what's good for them.

To label Boris a buffoon is to dangerously underestimate him. He is duplicitous, unprincipled and utterly self serving but he isn't stupid; calculating and cynical yes, stupid no.
 
Tories are screwed in this vote. But, speaking to some 18 YO's today, Labour are going to get a bigger slice than I thought. I think the £10 minimum wage suggestion has a lot of them on board. I doubt they understand the consequences of that, and how many won't even be given a chance.
