BREXIT! BREXIT! BREXIT!

[Scot Dutchy]

He is too scattered brained. He is a moth. Flies to any old light.

BoJo will never reach her depths.

He already has. Several times.

Like Trump, Boris is all about Boris, and because he (and his economic class generally) believes that he is where he is today on 'merit' alone whatever he decides is in the best interests of Boris automatically become what's best for everyone else. Primarily Boris wants to be liked. He's looking for adulation and plaudits, for approval, for validation, particularly from the members of his constituency - which significantly here is not the ordinary people of Uxbridge and South Ruislip who voted him as their MP in 2015, but the people Boris feels are best able to give him what he wants - Tory MPs, and specifically that class of born-to-rule Tory MPs epitomised by the likes of the Rees-Moggs and Duncan-Smiths.

Gove famously, gleefully even, stabbed Boris in the back the last time the Tories had to find a leader in a hurry, because even after his 'lying for Brexit' campaigning in the run up to the referendum he was still in favour of a soft exit in the run up to the party election. He took that softer position because the top echelons of the Tory was still packed with liberally-minded wets in the Cameron mould - and so he attempted to appeal to them directly through his Sunday Telegraph article on 26th June 2016, under the headline, "I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe – and always will be" (pay wall). By the following Friday he was toast as far as a leadership challenge was concerned - apparently turning his phone off and retreating to his Oxfordshire pile that weekend to lick his wounds and then to subsequent announce his withdrawal from the Tory leadership race on the Monday. But they say that a week is a long time in politics, don't they(?). Now the hard men of the Brexitarian faith have the upper hand in the party. Like the vile Ulster Unionists, they'll say "No!" 'till the cows come home, they have too much to loose and everything to gain - so naturally Boris will be looking to appeal to them now: his new constituency.

The man who has built his entire journalistic and political reputation and career on having political opinions for money is unburdened by such inconveniences as actually having to believe in something - he believes whatever he thinks is in flavour this week (aside from the unswerving belief that he's destined for greatness that is); he has no sense of loyalty - his only loyalty is to himself; honour is a redundant concept to Boris because honour's roots are found at the intersection of a sense of personal responsibility and the possibility of shame - and at this point Boris is all but unshameable; and as for a coherent set of values, a cogent political rationale, or even some semblance of a sound justification for a moral outlook, well, he's demonstrated his failure in those departments so relentlessly and often -- both in and out of politics -- that nobody, neither his friends or his enemies, expect that from him now.

He might be the bookies favourite but it all depends on Boris himself. Can he convince enough MPs that he's willing, ready and able to give them what they want more than anything: a continued booking in the restaurant car of the gravy train. Like many sociopaths Boris can be charming and persuasive. He has, and no doubt will, promise the world - again. But we all know that a promise Boris is worth about as much as a pint of foetid stool water - something his enemies are already boiling up to serve back at him ("Tory leadership hopeful Rory Stewart launches scathing ‘Pinocchio’ attack on Boris Johnson", The Sun: "Stop Boris Johnson campaign launched by Tory moderates opposed to no-deal Brexit", Guardian).

And who are these particular enemies? Softer Brexiteers and Remainers. That more than anything suggests that the man who famously wrote, "I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe – and always will be," has changed his mind with the political breeze yet again.

Arse.

Sorry Boris is a butterfly. May was a dung beetle.

[Brian Peacock]

No need to apologise.

It's funny because the numbers are true and Farage's reaction is not.

He knows that his supporters are too stupid to understand that 30% isn't a majority.

[Scot Dutchy]

Just like Trump; I have bigger crowds. The art of fake news. He has done bugger all. The UKIP voters became Brexit voters.

[NineBerry]

This is from the homepage of the Brexit Party. Is this really what people in Britain think is a photo showing a likeable person? I would never have chosen this image for that message.

[Brian Peacock]

I feel sorry for the bitch.

[Scot Dutchy]

He only got 30% of the vote. In a PR system he would have lost like Wilders here. The UK populous just dont understand. It should be up to the media to educate. He cant do bugger all.

[NineBerry]

European Election in the UK is PR!

[Alan B]

That's not the only thing about Farridge. I would think quite a few equate his version of Brexit with privatisation of the NHS. Under the Tories it has suffered like other public services. With him it will be worse. Fuck him

[Svartalf]

man, you would put your dick there? I applaud your courage and self sacrifice.
