So it's Boris

Well said, it beggars belief that man is now in charge of our country.

Cheer up. It'll be interesting.

Gonegirl I think it's more the Chinese proverb 'may you live in interesting times' - that is, maybe not 'cheer up'!

I'm very pleased about it actually.

gonegirl interesting I don't mind generally but given what's at stake here I'd be happier with bland or boring. The man is regarded as a joke at best. I am still depressed alas

Will it? We are the laughing stock of the world as it is. To me it is a nightmare.

I agree about the laughing stock thing Charleygirl. and the rest as well

His initial speech said it all forgotten what some of them stand for _Deliver Unite D???? and Energise spells DUDE!!! As usual a speech saying exactly what he thinks about most-himself -and what he imagines he is. A PM who thinks he's a "DUDE". There must be laughing in political circles around the world!!

It was a good speech. The 'DUDE' thing was quite clever.,

To quote Fraser in "Dads Army", "We're doomed, doomed I tell ye!"

Boris this side of the pond, Trump the other...............heaven help us.

Agreed, Gonegirl

For me, the referendum went the wrong way. I am angry and sad about that. Can't see it makes much difference who continues with it all now. Yes I know No Deal would be bad. But there is no deal to had. So......

I think we're all in for a rough ride.

No Gonegirl it was sad. A bit like bald men with comb overs or dreads, or who wear shorts and pretend to be surfers at weekends. Everyone knows they are just trying to cling on to youth. (And failing miserably).

We were from three years ago. [shrug] #spiltmilk

Boris the buffoon. Who’d have thought the U.K. could sink so low?
Anyone taking bets on how long he’ll last?

Humpty - Chinese curse, not proverb!!

That is so wrong trisher. It was just Boris being Boris. Do you really want him to behave like an eighty year old? Do you want everyone to behave like eighty year olds?

Wouldn’t normally correct humpty but think it matters in this instance ?

Charleygirl

I’m with you!

I prefer Shakespeare suziewoozie. "Wise enough to play the fool".

(As I've said on the other thread)

We certainly do live in interesting times. We could also say, dangerous times. With Trump in the White House, Johnson in a Downing Street and various extreme right wing leaders (e.g. Bolsonaro in Brazil) around the world, these could so easily become very dark times. I think Johnson is more a f***wit than extreme bigot (although the old adage ‘if you want to know what someone thinks, ask them’ applies - piccaninnies, letterboxes, bum boys). However, he is keen to work with Trump who is a misogynist, white supremacist and that speaks volumes! Then of course his position on Brexit and the NHS are alarming, to say the least.

Craicon for a bet I will give him until the end of September and that is being generous.

Britain's emBorisment. Bring on the clowns. I cannot believe that Britain has sunk this low. There is nothing else to say but God help you all - and that is from an atheist!
