    Mods - can we have a swearing amnesty for the rest of the day please? If this news doesn't warrant it then I don't know what does

    His myriad faults and failings, not least his dishonesty and disloyalty, are a matter of public record, and yet this has not affected those making this choice.

    This is a man who lied to his PM whilst serving as a minister, and then refused to resign when he was found to have been lying. That is the man who is now PM of the United (at least for a bit longer) Kingdom.

    I cannot remember a time when we have had such a lack of decent political leaders across the spectrum maybe it's time to look at the lesser parties and break the mould

    I think people should look carefully at how much (and why) Corbyn is vilified in the media, compared to how soft a ride Johnson has and will get in comparison.

    Johnson's failings and faults are a matter of factual, non-deniable, public record. Apart from smears and slurs, what are Corbyn's failings?

    Grey, you have clearly not heard the almost constant character assassination of BJ by the BBC over the last few weeks. One of the reasons I am sure he has refused to appear on the Today programme.

    Please note I am not defending BJ and agree with many of the comments, but he has certainly not been given a soft ride for some time.

    We clearly have a different view of the man , one of the most pointless excerises is to debate this. I can start a 500 response thread on this but not all the press can be dismissed as anti propaganda and I am old enough to hear his pro terrorist rants and I do have a relative who survived the Brighton bomb and his reaction to it, don't even get me started on momentum and anti semitism. Cant stand Boris either btw.

    The real bet was that we had to dine in Trump tower wearing Trump wigs, I always stated that mine was more Boris than Donald - it was a laugh though

    But with Johnson, it isn't character assassination - that is rather my point. His faults and failings are a a matter of dismal public record.

    Johnson has refused to appear on most media for the simple reason, imo, that his handlers knew they couldn't trust him, and that his past would be brought up for scrutiny.

    IMO Corbyn is worthy of the gutter and no more, Boris.....its going to be interesting!
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    If one wants to find someone who is free from “fault and failing”, parliament as a whole is the last place one should look IMO

    If you care to, would you say why you think that?

    Personal reasons, his anti semitism antics of past just gets me started, but I respect others opinions, i just personally think the world would be better without people like him. :ok:

    Each to their own. Have to be honest, I haven't seen any clear evidence of Corbyn being antisemitic. Anti-Zionist, yes, for sure.

    Boris has been elected leader because the success of Farage's Brexit Party has seriously frightened the Tories. The irony is that there wouldn't have been any Euro elections and the Brexit Party would be nothing if we'd left the EU in March.

    So basically all those MPs who voted against May's Brexit deal are responsible for Boris becoming PM.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    So we got in this mess because the Tories were afraid of Farage (Ukip).

    Which hasn't really worked out well for them, has it.

    But now they're doubling down on their error.

    :doh:

    So, how many spare rooms do you have?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    2.

    But, we may have to pack up and leave the country, depending on how 'no deal' works out.

    That is terrible :hug:

    I was jokingly thinking I’d tell you that I was house trained and don’t mind doing that washing up. I could do with some help with my written English too.

    We have wrestled with the Greek bureaucratic malarkey, and done our part. (That is, we've met the terms of the reciprocal deal for EU residents that is on offer from the Greek govt, but it will all depend on if the UK match those terms. If they don't, we'll probably have to up sticks.)

    Now we just have to wait and see.

    But I'm happy to help with you're written English, even in the event of no deel.
