I struggle to understand why Johnson is seen as such a powerful political figure, any takers?

Easy. He often says what a lot of people are thinking but other politicians shy off from saying, so he has a substantial public following. Sounds like you need to broaden your reading a bit to take in different opinions. However shite they may be. :)

I've heard him described as being intellectual and to be fair the odd comment I have read in the mainstream press seemed reasonable.
Yet the balls up he made with the £350m a day Brexit figure.
The fact that a number of people questioned on the street said he made them laugh as a reason for voting for him does not feel me with confidence that he is an heavyweight candidate with any substance.

Happy to be enlightened if I have misread him...........

I thought you were trying to understand him rather than looking for an opportunity to state your own views. Apologies.
For the record he's a tosser, you're unlikely to find an argument on that here.
 
Oh my word..

In the fourth quarter of last year, a sharp outflow of gold showed up as a sudden spike in exports, causing some economists to conclude that Britain's manufacturers were starting to benefit from a post-Brexit jump in confidence.

In fact, the spike was primarily a sign of investors pulling gold out of vaults in London.

From my experience in politics, idiots of that kind dont usually go to high places unless.... they are very well connected.
 
Until we know what will happen with Brexit, the pound will oscillate on the financial markets, of course we do have the ability to raise interest rates to support the pound.
 
Its seems the EU is not as desperate to sell prosecco to the UK as the Brexiteers first thought they will be

I see this as good news especially as i dont known what prosecco is but hear the name a lot.

The eu are not that desperate to sell to anyone that isnt in the eu. Its like a poker table, the pool of money might change hands but doesnt get bigger until someone else sits down and gets less interesting when someone leaves the game, usually to join a tabble where theres more action.
 
The EU in general and The Slimeball in particular all seem remarkably quiet as one of its largest members tears itself apart.

And especially as Art 5 states quite clearly that any EU member using military force against its own citizens will be suspended from membership.

Perhaps because there's no money to be made from the Exit Invoice for Catalunya....

You just have to ask boris and co. He keot mentioning it throughout the brexit campaign

The EU has loads of trade deals with many non eu countries. Its simply isn't desperate to sign one with anyone. Considering how desperate global britain is to get a deal you cant blame them

Whats happening in catalonia is disgraceful
The eu is caught between two fires here. If it stays out its accused of not caring. If it stays in then its accused of meddling in Spain's sovereignty

However its not just the EU whose doing nothing about it. The US and the UK who have quite a reputation of policing the world and finding wmds were there are none has done nothing either. Hopefully catalonia can become allies with democratic and pro human rights saudi arabia. That might help to move the latter into action
 
hey don´t mix us up with that lot :p

We are alone and we know. Once independent, we can sign an agreement as Spain will not accept us in the EU. We still have nice beaches and parties where to puke magalufstyle

Id say the same I said about Scotland ie another country who deserves independence and sovereignty. I hope that the EU will be extremely generous with you guys.
 
Scotland had a legal vote, the will of the people needs to be respected.

Things changed alot since then. I doubt that the proud scots are happy to be dragged out of the EU by westminster.

If they wish to leave the UK then we should let them in.

Nothings changed at all. They voted to remain part of the uk and all the consequences that comes with it. Yo cant cherry pick what you want right?

Come on Stan, even you know that is a load of old codswallop. Everything has changed.

One of the reasons many voted to remain within the UK was EU membership, it was a huge part of the Scottish remain campaign.

If Scotland want to leave the UK and join the EU then I sincerely hope that they will find an open door. After all that's were all European belong to

Will Scotland be welcome in the EU, with or without the famous Joel Barnet funding calculations? I bet Mrs Merkel can't wait to get to grips with that one! :lol:
 
Scottish girl at work voted to leave uk for the very same reason

Explain to me what has changed

I wonder if by the SNP's rules she would still be considered Scots and allowed to vote in Scotland?

I think Scotland and Northern Ireland may yet become a problem before this Brexit initiative is finalised and we just might see the break up of the United Kingdom or part of it.

At a certain point with Catalonia now looking like they are being going to become Independent the EU has a problem with recognising break away regions and this will heavily come to the fore in the next year.
 
Perhaps all the Brexiters should hold a poll to see which of them is the biggest waste of space

Ooh Paul, you say the nicest things about brexiteers and you come up with such scintillating ideas!
Are you also planning to come back to 'Blighty' to help the 'Islington spaceman' run the country, I'm sure you'd be very welcome in Jeremy's team!

I think that once the UK is out of the EU, what would be the correct thing to do is to let all three countries ( N Ireland, Wales and Scotland ) to have a referendum on whether to leave the United Kingdom and return to the EU.

And if the Scots vote to stay, then England could always declare itself to be independent from Scotland and let Scotland become some sort of equivalent to the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands if Frau Fatarse decides the EU can't afford them.

Certainly most English ( and perhaps the Welsh and Irish ) people would be happier with that arrangement than the anti-British threats and nonsence from the SNP every couple of years.

No I've no intention to ever live in the Uk again. As you may note that I was a Tory voter when I lived in the UK - and as I've said before I rate Corbyn no higher than any of the other idiots currently trying or wanting to run the country.
Brexit has little to do with Tories or Labour.

When are you returning to the UK from Cloud Cuckoo Land?

Ooh well done Paul, smart reply, getting better with your ripostes :wenger:

Glad to hear you haven't gone over to the dark side, next you would be telling me you support that other Club that claims to represent Manchester !:nono:
 
Me too - no intention of going back to the UK, ever....Just the regular visits to see our children when they invite us.

But I'd disagree with you, Paul.

Seems to me - admittedly from the outside - that BREXIT is most definitely split down party lines. Tories perhaps 60/40 for ; Labourites perhaps 40/60 against ; and the Liberals and SNP 100% against.

The problem is that it is only the Politicos whose opinions are heard on radio and TV - not those parties' supporters, whose only chance to be heard is at the ballot box.

If Blair, Brown and Cameron and, of course, Slimeball Juncker had only listened instead of preaching, the UK would never have voted to leave

So you do agree with me Labour and Tory are split, maybe not straight down the middle.

I don't know any traditional Tory voters who voted for Brexit, the only people I know that did were traditional Labour voters that were avid Blair followers and now hate him and also voted Tory in this year's election.
 
There is no way Scotland would ever be allowed to join the EU, certainly not on any favourable terms. This is an illusion. Firstly the EU is losing the 2nd biggest contributor, so countries like Germany & France will hardly be waving the flag to more countries with their hands out to support them. Secondly, & most importantly (which the current crisis in Spain brings home) is there is no way the likes of Spain, Belgium, Italy etc will ever support their membership as they will be concerned parts of their countries would do the same. I know the EU has come out & said Catalonia would not be allowed back in the EU (strange as it is the most profitable part of Spain unlike Scotland) though this would open a legal minefield if they allowed a country like Scotland in & blocked them.

Another nail in the coffin of the EU dictatorship, which must be good.

Traditional labour who supported Blair and now vote Tory, I think the actual definition of those people is utter fecktards rather than traditional labour.
