I am delighted, the eu are horrified.

The skeletons are well out of his closet.

He will get things done.

I'll bastard well swear if I fuckin want to and as yet we have freedom of speech
Ta good evening

you have freedom of speech due to living in a democratic society. The tories were voted in, leadership change is via party rules and the majority of this democracy voted to leave the EU.

So swear to your hearts content if you can't express yourself any other way.
And then suck it up - Tories, Boris, Brexit - prob no deal Brexit.
Like it or lump it, thats democracy and no amount of profanities and throwing your dummy out of the pram will change it - If it did, that would be the end of democracy.

Min sure Putin will line up a beautiful 2 legged distraction for him so he has a puppet in the Uk as well as in the US...
We seriously do not have one decent party or decent party leader to fall behind .... any one with an iota of intellect has called out his numerous failings and still the party faithful voted him in because he flirted with them and has offered tax breaks to higher earners...
If you haven’t read what his teachers said about him please read it....

Our democracy is a representative democracy. Brexit would be like if one political party won by a very narrow margin, but then got all the seats in parliament.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 24/07/2019 19:19

Well done Boris, just what we need instead of that useless May, and all the other Remainers that this country can do without.
Don't wait until October, get out on Monday and tell the EU where they can stick any deal

If only we could all leave and let you get on with your 'little England' project. But you've denied us 27 countries we would have been able to settle in so we're all stuck here. You with your superior attitude based on zero evidence. Us with the reality check and the wealth of evidence you don't want to hear. You're not only fucking yourselves over, you'll bring the rest of the country down with you

Doesn't matter who's right - the Brexiteers won, thats democracy.

Ferret27 · 24/07/2019 19:21

God I dispair of you people that think he will make a cheery change ... there’s a women still in an Iranian prison because he talks through his arse... he spent 50+ million on a bridge that didn’t get built ...he spent 100,s of thousands on water canon that got scrapped because they were shit and we didn’t need them ... he bought buses that were wrong and had to altered and then scrapped ... I could go on .... he’s an embarrassment to each and everyone one of us ...and I hope he gets scuppered by those on his party who know him for what he is ... even those that like him have said time and again he is a liability and inconsistent does not listen and care for detail! If you want to be amused go and watch a comedian

Please please stop swearing. It is very aggressive and upsetting. It makes no point whatsoever and simply shows you up for what you are.

To the person who posted .. no fuck off dear.

What exactly are you trying to say. I can only comprehend the first word but cannot discern any argument or rationale in your little stream of mumbling.

iwantadishwasher · 24/07/2019 19:28

@Toomuchtrouble4me - those of us who don't agree with what's happening are free to rant and rave and protest and swear and throw the telly out of the window (as long as we don't hit anyone with it). If we weren't free to do all this, that would be the end of democracy.

Those who are anti-EU have spent the last forty years complaining, despite the results of democratic votes.

That's because it was an instruction, not an argument.

Iambuffy · 24/07/2019 19:30

Let me make it clearer...

Fuck

Off

That clear enough?

Lifeonmars77 · 24/07/2019 19:31

Oh for goodness sake, get a grip people. We are where we are. Give the man a chance to prove himself before projecting all your judgemental bull crap. No point whingeing, he is PM. Let him do his job and thank god and the Angels that at least it's not Corbyn.

iwantadishwasher · 24/07/2019 19:32

Boris has already shown how ruthless he is by purging the cabinet of anyone who might disagree with him. The cheery chappy stuff is a mask. Puts me in mind of this poem by Blake:

Cruelty has a Human Heart
And Jealousy a Human Face
Terror the Human Form Divine
And Secrecy, the Human Dress

The Human Dress, is forged Iron
The Human Form, a fiery Forge.
The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd
The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.

Boris is a very hungry gorge and I am scared of him.

Are you by any chance lost?

What was it that Priti Patel said about Ireland I know it resembled let them starve but cant quite remember the exact phrase?

DontMakeMeShushYou · 24/07/2019 19:39

Don't wait until October, get out on Monday and tell the EU where they can stick any deal.

Yeah, you really haven't grasped the concept of 'a deal' in this scenario, have you.

It works a bit like this.
You're on life support in hospital. Your loved ones want to move you to a different hospital but arrangements need to be in place for your life support to continue during the move (a deal). But your loved ones say "Sod that, we don't need to do a deal, we're just leaving" and pull the plug on your life support machine. No deal isn't such a great idea when you look at it like that.

Alsohuman · 24/07/2019 19:40

You do realise that the more you tell people to stop swearing, the more they’ll do it? You might be more comfortable in Gransnet @Darkcloudsandsunnydays.

Well done for reporting a post which appears dozens of times every day all over MN.

Posted on another thread but here is an offer the good people at Hairy Baby have just sent me. Sorry/not sorry if some people are triggered by it😂

So Boris Johnson is the new PM.

Why do you people have to swear all the time.
The English language has one of the

It has something to do with their poor level of education and lack of brain cells. They think that if they swear it gives more credence and importance to what they are saying, however it usually means that they appear less able to carry a reasoned argument and are well worth ignoring..
