Now do Leave supporters see how much they've been conned- Boris doesn't actually want his much touted 'control'

[Bearbehind]

What a shambles.

So Boris goes on and on about 'taking back control' then, when it's handed to him on a plate he runs a mile as he never actually believed in what he was saying and knows what a poison chalice it is.

Brexit is going swimmingly do far isn't it?

[SnowBells]

It was a poisoned chalice.

For all those Leave supporters out there - why don't you register for.a party, become an MP and see whether YOU can tackle Brexit as a prime minister?

Easy to tick a box on paper. Much more difficult to implement Brexit. Note: everything was done in a democratic way and you have been elected. Now, think how those people who have elected you will react once their living standards decline even further.

Totally agree Errol

"I voted after doing a lot of reading on both sides."

What did you read for leave?...there's still nothing to read, nobody knows what's happening yet.

[recall]

no

I didn't vote leave in order secure Boris Johnson's leadership

[PattyPenguin]

Bloody Stupid Johnson has to be the best name for him yet.

Trying not to snigger at work.

[PinkyPlumet]

[ErrolTheDragon]

Oh, Bloody Stupid Johnson wasn't really a Leaver either - he didn't think it would happen, he believes in immigration, free trade etc etc. He only Outed himself relatively late on, having sat on the fence beforehand. I think his plan relied on Leave failing, then he would graciously concede and put himself in the position of the reconciler of the Euroseptic and Europhile camps in the tory party. He would have been rewarded with a major cabinet post and been in perfect position as the next leader of the party and PM.

[mupperoon]

It's rubbish isn't it - every scrap of good news ("Bojo not running for PM! Hooray!") is negated a few seconds later by some depressing realisation that things are now even worse ("Gove??? Oh, fucking brilliant.")

[dragonsarebest]

except BoJo obvs.

[dragonsarebest]

The entire Johnson family was remain, his father campaigned for it.

[TheElementsSong]

I don't know, I read it as Monster for Education and thought that was rather appropriate!

[babybythesea]

Every sodding time I use my tablet to post I end up with thousands of mistakes, I edit and still miss some through sheer volume. I'm going back to a keyboard.
Track.
Minister.

[babybythesea]

Yes, Gove has an excellent rack record. As Monister for Education he is widely lauded as having done wonderful things for our education system, bringing the whole profession together and uniting people and making them feel valued. He is similarly well loved for his effect on the judicial system, although they have been less vocal.
Can't wait to see him bring his non-expertise (we don't like experts, remember) to the role of Prime Minister.

[dangermouseisace]

his sister Rachel is a remainer as well.

[Lighteningirll]

Another one here that voted Leave based on a twenty year desire to well you know Leave the EU my vote had nothing to do with political parties, lies or buffoonery from either side.

[lljkk]

Bloody Hell, Stanley Johnson (BoJo's dad, on BBC R4) just said that Remaining would have been better thing to do, to reform EU to put more limits on free movement.

[sorenofthejnaii]

Anyway, Gove will make a excellent PM

Why? Is he inclusive? Does he listen to people who disagree to get other opinions? Or does he do what he believes ideologically is correct?

[RortyCrankle]

I did not vote based on what Boris did or did not say, I voted after doing a lot of reading on both sides.

Anyway, Gove will make a excellent PM.

[sorenofthejnaii]

They're going to deliver something. But will they deliver what all the Leave supporters want?

Or will they deliver what some of them want but not others?

We'll find out sometime what deal we'll get. Will it be enough to satisfy most of the people in this country?

[lljkk]

Boris only wants to be PM when everything is nicety nice in the world. Can't cope with real problems. All the others have the ovaries (balls) to get on with wading thru the shit.

[loobyloo1234]

Another patronising thread for Leave supporters

[Bearbehind]

Ie not is
If not I'd

[Bearbehind]

The way I see it is that Leave were conned either way.

Either you ignored the campaign, in which case you were voting for your 'vision' of what would happen is voting for something that was never on offer

Or you believed Boris et al who have now confirmed they can't deliver what they implied I'd not outright stated.

What ever you think of Boris, he's not stupid and this has proved it and shown how much of a joke Brexit is.

[dragonsarebest]

ITA, Bumble.

[TheElementsSong]

I believe it was all foreseen wasn't it? All part of the plan for the Leave leadership to vanish in a puff of smoke, no Leave supporter ever supported any of them anyway, etc etc.
