Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

Other way of looking at it is Boris sweeps up the leave vote, remain vote is split between Labour, Liberals, Greens, SNP and Boris gets a decent majority. Boris is going to destroy Corbyn in PMQ's going forward, people will watch it and not vote for Corbyn plus Jo Swinson of the LibDems was in the coalition government who jacked up Uni fees, supported austerity etc. So no hope.

We can only pray Labour don't get rid of Corbyn and the other Anti Semites - they are election gold

BoJo's routine looks like Ken Dodd doing Churchill

no it didnt.

love him or hate him, agree with him or disagree with him, but laced with eloquence and rhetoric, it was a much needed and masterful display of optimism, bombast, bravado and showmanship that hasnt been seen in the house for many a year.


it was a breath of fresh air, a refreshing change and a bold challenge to the dour, ugly, pessimistic, scowling, frowning, nodding, accusatory, whingeing, grey, wrinkled, badge wearing virtue signalling socialists on the opposition benches and their dull rants about hilda of boltons varicose veins, bert of doncasters missing benefits and fatima, that poor burqua wearing woman from tower hamlets who went into a suicidal depression after someone looked at her the wrong way from across the street.

god, socialists !!!. if nothing else, boris can at least pound those socialists back into the misery infected dystopia they inhabit.




Boris Johnson whacks, peels and pummels Jeremy Corbyn into a pulverised mess
quentin letts



They said parliament would be his weak spot but Boris Johnson pulverised Jeremy Corbyn on his first Commons appearance as PM, turned him into one of those troublingly pondish vegan smoothies which are popular in Islington.

Some Boris fans had advised him not to go to the House, fearing he would flop. But he whacked and peeled and pummelled a sub-par Corbyn. He Kenwood-mixered the myxomatoisoid old coney, left him a fearful mess.

While veterinary surgeons crouched sorrowfully round Corbyn, the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, leapt from his frontbench seat. He was so cross at Boris’s success, it looked as if he was going to stomp out of the chamber in fury. Thinking better of any walkout, Mr McDonnell decided he was going to pour himself a glass of water from the carafe next to the dispatch box. The glass quivered in his hand with agitation.

The prime ministerial statement was entitled “priorities for the government”. The real object of the exercise was to break the parliamentary ice. He did not want to endure the long weeks of the imminent summer recess knowing he must still face a hostile Commons for the first time.

He took his place at 11.28am, while Jacob Rees-Mogg, the new Leader of the House, was taking business questions. Mr Rees-Mogg had quoted Tudor history, squashed a sour Tom Brake (that always cheers the House) and had been notably non-partisan on several issues. It was the best ministerial debut I have seen.

Boris was greeted with a roar. Mind you, few of the May regime were present. No misery-man Hammond. No Gauke or Fox, Hinds or Clark (or even the normally omnipresent Ken Clarke). The only three sackees visible were Karen Bradley, James Brokenshire and Mel Stride, who at least showed some character by attending. Boris was flanked by his foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, on one side, his chancellor, Sajid Javid, on the other. Near by was Priti Patel, beaming at her remarkable elevation to home secretary — a moped finding itself on the Isle of Man TT.

Mr Johnson’s opening statement was OK, if long. There was stuff about “making this country the greatest place on earth” and more threats to leave the EU without a deal. The prepared statement ended with talk of “a new golden age”. A few eyes rolled at that. Sir Oliver Letwin (C, W Dorset) pursed his lips in a queeny moue.

But Boris came alight when responding extempore to Mr Corbyn and others.

Corbyn opened by saying “no one underestimates this country”. Tory heckler: “You do!” The Labour leader also tried to make a thing of Ms Patel’s past support for the death penalty, and claimed that Mr Johnson intended to sell the NHS to American businesses. Boris flew into a fiery defence of the health service, throwing his fists up near his head like a concert pianist flourishing his fingertips. All this was done in a torrent of unrehearsed words while he swivelled on his heels, cast his arms left and right and generally did a zumba workout. Behind him, admiring Tory MPs mimicked his punches.

Now he was bellowing at Mr Corbyn for being a stooge of Iran and mocking him for his U-turn on Europe. It was worse, he said, that the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. He had been “jugulated and reprogrammed and turned into a Remainer”. It was all of a piece with his “tergiversating career”. By now even Karen Bradley and James Brokenshire were laughing and cheering. The change in mood on the Tory benches was remarkable. Never sad, unconfident twilight again.

“We,” cried Boris, “are the party of the people!” Behind Mr Corbyn the Labour MPs slumped. Ed Miliband (Lab, Doncaster N) curled at the shoulders.

The normally cheerful face of Chi Onwurah (Newcastle C) was a junction of frown lines.

It lasted for an hour and a half and he took 129 questions. He didn’t muff one.

Boris Johnson's Brexit policy 'unacceptable' - EU negotiator
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49118107

Top European officials have rebuffed the Brexit policy of Boris Johnson after his first speech to UK MPs.

The new prime minister said he was committed to "getting rid" of the Irish border backstop, which has long been a bone of contention in negotiations.

The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, said removing the backstop guarantee was unacceptable.

Mr Johnson also spoke on the phone with EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Mr Juncker reiterated the EU's position that the already-negotiated withdrawal agreement was the best one possible – though he said the commission would be available over the coming weeks if the UK wanted to hold talks.
What did the prime minster say?

Boris Johnson gave his first statement in the House of Commons since becoming prime minister, and set out his position on Brexit, which he has promised to complete by 31 October.

The backstop is a key piece of the deal negotiated by his predecessor's government, dictating what will happen to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

It is a last resort that guarantees a frictionless border if no better solution is devised in time - by maintaining close ties between the UK and the EU until such a solution is found.

"No country that values its independence, and indeed its self-respect, could agree to a treaty which signed away our economic independence and self-government as this backstop does," Mr Johnson said.

Responding to questions from MPs, he said he was committed to "getting rid" of the backstop, describing it as "divisive" and "anti-democratic".

I'm glad you're moved to gush and whoopsadoodle the cheerydrobe as he weaves magicalled desbundiments before the House of Parleymumps.

I can't quite remember a time when everyone got so excited by bombastic drivel posturing as strategy designed to persuade people from thinking about the truth since, gosh, well.........since a fucking Austrian strutted his schtick in Nuremberg.

Tax, you're far too old to be swayed by Cummings' Goebbels aren't you?

Do remember, BoJo was a Remainer and this is all about him winning an election and taking Britain down the Swanee.

In the end, those ruins of Berlin will be his testament too.

German economy in 'freefall'

German industry is in the deepest slump since the global financial crisis and threatens to push Europe’s powerhouse economy into full-blown recession. The darkening outlook is forcing the European Central Bank to contemplate ever more perilous measures.

The influential Ifo Institute in Munich said its business climate indicator for manufacturing went into “free fall” in July as the delayed damage from global trade conflict takes its toll and confidence wilts. It goes far beyond the woes of the car industry. More than 80pc of Germany’s factories are in outright contraction.

The Ifo plunge follows warnings from IHS Markit that manufacturing activity for the wider eurozone has dropped to levels...

Essentially, anything written by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is utter bollocks but it is quite telling that Nevertwat should still read that rag. The Telegraph was a fine paper for years and enjoyed a reputation as a source renown for its accuracy and attendant verisimilitude. When Ellis jettisoned Tony Gallegher it became a Daily Mail but with longer words. It's now solely a propagandising vehicle for right wing Tory nutters.

Sad, really, it used to be one of my standbys when I wanted another perspective alternative to the Times/Guardian.

Ah well.

Does your posting style reflect his usefulness, or is it the other way around?

Opinions are like arseholes, and since your arsehole transplant rejected you, your opinions reflect your paucity of valued opinion.

Germany was behind pumping cheap money into the lower reaches of the EU, in the hope that their industry would benefit from new markets. The rest of the EU is suffering from falling GDP and high unemployment.

Except that is, for the UK. Strange that isn't it, despite all the predictions of a UK crash, quite the opposite is happening. The loss of jobs to the financial sector was a welcome correction, allowing the UK to diversify, away from its dependence on banking and insurance. Well done EU.

EU is doing so well that the ECB are more than likely going to have to cut interest rates and start QE again. The EU is fucked, maybe my 5-10 year prediction for the end of this ghastly project or what it has morphed into was being generous.

One only needs to look back at what the previous tory PM "promised to deliver" and failed!

Then back one more previous tory PM that "promised to deliver" and failed!

^^Yep, of course it will collapse in the same fucking way the US disintegrated when its last recession bit hard and disappeared in a puff of stale gorilla fart, you gormless twat. It's 27 countries not a fucking federal state and there's a stasis in global demand as the world deals with its Sino-Trump fuckwittery, China's faltering growth and the impact of that on the SE Asian economies, Australia and fucking Papua New Guinea.
But of course this is a fine time to quit unfettered access to a market of 500 millions on your fucking doorstep especially when your own manufacturing base is contracting and festers at a low 10% of GDP.
Brexit stupidity is truly a remarkable force among the lower end.

You really have no idea what's wrong with the EU do you? Would you care to speculate why it's the lowest growth region in the world and is becoming more uncompetitive by the year? Do you have any idea the damage the Euro has done to European economies and how much larger their economies would be if they'd never adopted the Euro (Germany excluded obviously) ?

You're right of course. That 500 million market is now useless to the German economy. I'm so happy the UK won't be depending on that 27 nation collapse for its future security.

What a gormless bonehead you are.

Cummings' Goebbels

goebbels? cummings will ensure that they take a long overdue and very welcome shift to the right to put an end to the liberal schtick that has paralysed the tories for many years and counterbalance momentums poisonous hatred, envy and corruption.

the ghost of thatcher is rising. happy days. long may it last, although deep down i suspect it may very well be short lived.

as for brexit, well who knows where that will all end. but a return to traditional toryism, common sense, self reliance, with a government run hy business people rather than shelf stackers, marxist activists and union leaders who will show up corbyn, abbott, macdonald and all the other gimlet eyed and wasp chewing socialist traitors and terrorist loving self haters for what they are is music to my ears. and the ears of many others i suspect.

Trouble is that with EU states GDP taking nosedive the UK is being asked to pay more to keep the champagne flowing in Brussels.

Yep, membership of the EU has destroyed Europe and made it bankrupt.

You are like a coon on acid that has escaped from some provincial hospital for the criminally stupid and is hiding out in a sink estate in a northern shithole town suffering from the delusion he is a fucking prince of the City squiring his way around his country estates in between trips to Monaco sucking the cocks of the rich and famous.

If the EU is so fucking bad how come you Kipper loons have been trying for three fucking years to tap it up for a free ride?

Christ Sausages you got all afternoon and the evening yet, Cyrille was like this c11pm last night - you two need to add more lemonade to your Spy.

As usual all bluster and no substance, quite startling how much you have in common with our prime minister.

Fucking Raab C Brexit so fucking clueless he didn't know Dover was used by 3 million fucking trucks a year to export shit from UK to the EU, Priti Patel a fucking semi-literate, semi-articulate second generation immigrant recruited because of her gender and ethnicity who has been selling Britain to the yids and Wogs, Rees-Mogg who was so fucking useless in the City they fucked him off to HK after a year to parade as a toff pig with lipstick to impress the chinks, Gove who has done nothing but journalism and who Cameron described as insane, McVey a media tart who lies through her teeth and badly too, Festus Iqbal Sajid who has all the principles of a Pakistani hypocritical mufti declared he is a remainer and believed the single market was the best reason for membership, Grant Schapps whose web ponzi schemes have been blacklisted, and of course its leader who has been sacked for lying so many times it simply doesn't matter anymore.

Yep, a real government of all the talents.

You are going out of your mind Tax.

The single market was the best reason for membership, that was the whole point of it, a free trade area. But sadly what it has morphed into makes membership no longer desirable. If it had just remained a trading club as opposed to the federalist superstate it wishes to achieve then no one would object to continued membership. Let's see how your Ireland does, you are still claiming to be Irish I presume despite being as Irish as I am Congolese when the EU harmonises tax rates and Ireland are no longer able to attract big business which they are only able to do now due to their low corporation tax much to the ire of their EU masters.

Federalist superstate??

Are you getting mixed up with the planet Zog's invasion fleet which landed on Earth as reported by John Redwood and Bill Cash some 30 years ago which concealed itself in a secret base under Brussels and took over the life forms of everyone who was not English in a 50 kilometre radius and is dedicated to the overthrow of British democracy and subjugate every white English swinging dick with an IQ level of less than 100 and bipeds living in Crewe?

You Kippers are such dickheads.

With a GDP of $400 billion, a population of 5 million deriving wealth from its manufacturing sector of 38% and with a per capita income larger than that of a knuckle dragging English travelling salesman from Crewe , I rather think the Irish will piss on your chips most days of the week, you mofo twat.

And all that from an occupational workforce of 2.8 millions.

Eat it up, you shitheads will be in recession for a decade to come.
