Boris Johnson should resign

[Cinammoncake]

He's lied to the Queen and shut down parliament illegally. He's not fit to be PM and should resign now.

To add, I will not be voting Labour and think Corbyn is a clown.

Mercifully, even he realises that having a general election before the Oct 31 deadline would be a massive blunder and empower Boris and the No-Dealers.

Gosh, so many people here patronisingly calling others naive while sounding utterly delusional and/or poorly informed themselves, Lloydbraun being the latest

So it’s irresponsible to hold an election .., but not a referendum?
If there is logic at work here it’s not obvious to me, I must say

If there was a general election called before 31 Oct, Boris would be busy campaigning as all politicians do.

Too busy to negotiate with the EU and get a good result.

So that tells you just how seriously he takes Brexit. Clue, he doesn’t.

You should watch channel 4’s Tories at War.

It’s clear - Brexit is about making rich people richer. Hedge fund managers want it because they want to make fucking millions at our expense. There isn’t an infinite pool of money in the world so if they’re getting insanely rich, people will be getting incredibly poor.

Wake up. At least use your curiosity and ask yourself why are they so keen on Brexit.

@LayLar360 exactly. You don’t have to be a Corbyn sycophant to understand why he’s holding off from an election.

@LloydBraun clearly doesn’t understand that supporting someone’s stance doesn’t mean you’re their biggest supporter. Found any sources yet?

So it’s irresponsible to hold an election .., but not a referendum

Correct. Because a Brexit referendum would give a clear answer and plan for dealing with the EU.

A GE does not.

Any sympathy i had for that xxxx Johnson has evaporated, he is a nasty little bully, tbf even Farage never sunk as low as Johnson went to night.

He belongs in 1930s Germany, made a good Goebbels.

And a GE should never be for one reason. It shouldn’t be a substitute ref.

There are hundreds of important policies that will be ignored and swept away, and they MATTER. Hugely. It cannot be all about Brexit.

That’s why a second ref is preferable.

He and his team seem desperate to leave with No Deal, absolutely desperate, they gambled on shutting down parliament unlawfully, more or less pleading for a GE in Parliament. Why aren’t people or the media asking Why?
I can’t understand how this isn’t arousing much more suspicion

I completely agree. It makes no logical sense, if you take a step back from it

What is this screaming about sources? People form judgements of character based on observing behaviour. I have seen mr Corbyn entertain terrorists; support anti Semitic material; fail to deal with anti semites in his own party; promote a nasty and dictatorial approach to those in his party who disagree with him; and and and.
People aren’t going to be asked for evidence when they go into the voting booth. Shriek all you like but his character is a problem for him.

But there will be a clear choice at a GE.
You have the Lib Dem’s who say they will revoke article 50 and cancel Brexit.
The tories who say they will leave at all costs including GE.
And labour who say mmmffmmffmggg kkkuuu.
The choice for the electorate could not be clearer.
And it gives the chance to remove this man who is do odious and replace him with our glorious bearded rightful leader!
What’s not to like?

What happened in Parliament tonight?

Among other things, Boris Johnson used inflammatory language going on about surrender deal He was asked by female MPs, including Paula Sheriff, who was Jo Cox's friend, to tone this down because of the dangers to MPs. She referred to Jo Cox, she was visibly upset. Boris Johnson replied that he'd never heard such humbug.

That's one example. But he was odious in the extreme. Rude, arrogant, really quite nasty.

@LloydBraun nasty and dictatorial like removing the whip from 21 MPs that voted against him? And unlawfully shutting down parliament, you know, like a dictator would?

I’m not shrieking, I’m merely asking for you to provide evidence. This isn’t a polling booth, this is a forum, I’m well within my right. Clearly you can’t do that. That’s ok!

I’ve provided plenty of reasons, mustard, but I can see how someone who thinks removing the whip equates to support for terrorism and anti semitism might struggle to process the written word.
Christ almighty.

LloydBraun Corbyn being useless has no bearing on Johnson.

Parliament has made it clear that the election will have to happen after the deadline for Brexit, in order to prevent us crashing out with no deal - which would have dire consequences for everyone. As much as this has been said, it keeps being brought up again and again. That's part of Boris Johnson's campaign strategy. Anybody who falls for it should maybe ask themselves why he's so desperate for an election to happen straight away. Doesn't really stack up does it.

Gove should resign too given that he lied in the chamber today about business leaders declaring themselves ready for Brexit at a recent meeting. Many of those present have said the opposite was true.

Oh here we go. I wondered how long it would take you to use the redtop bullshit about terrorism.

I can’t take you seriously any longer. You are clearly lacking in any ability to do any research that isn’t right wing. You’re honestly laughable if that is your only argument against Corbyn.

And you still can’t back it up 😂

You can read! Marvellous. Now go back and read the other bits.
Progress may be slow, but we have patience

@LloydBraun I got this just for you!

There is no low Johnson won't sink to. After being asked by Tracy Brabin - who took over Jo Cox's seat - to use more moderate language for the safety of MP's, he actually said "The best way to honour the memory of Jo Cox is to get Brexit done."

No morality, no empathy, no remorse.

It beggars belief that he would say something like that. He is all and only about messaging to his potential voters.

As long as he says get Brexit done enough he figures he is quids in.

He is totally and utterly loathsome.

I was disgusted by our PM in parliament today. Not even a hint of humility, he should be utterly ashamed.

If I was found to have lied and acted unlawfully in the course of doing my job, not only would I lose my job but I would also almost certainly lose my license to practice (I.e. would lose my profession). Yet our prime minister can do exactly that and stay in position and that cannot be right (regardless of your position on Brexit).

A sobering thought. Reading this thread a lot of it seems to me to be mad. Just nuts. Crazy frothing.
But if it’s like that here, what the fuck is going on elsewhere? I mean this place has always been a home of the more credulous elements of the left, but basically sane. Now look at it.
It doesn’t bear thinking of. We’re in a bad way.
Time to get out?

no wonder Trump calls him his friend.

Iggly. How much money dissappears into the eu abyss of corruption? Tell me.

How much has big business profited from cheap labour? Tell me.
Tell me the prospects of youth across the eu, who can't find work then tell me why weazle Blair and mandelson are going behind UK voters backs?
