Definitely the right man for right now.
His slightly un rehearsed speaking style irritates me a little too.. But my goodness he can speak. He skewers corybn.

It's a pleasure to listen too.

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 19:43

😂 True, GenuineQuestions, but - and I realise that what I am about to say will have some clutching their pearls in horror - that's already been priced in. Conservative Party members knew about his, erm, wild wild ways when he stood for leader but didn't care as long as he delivered Brexit.

And before anyone is tempted to trot out the "wicked Tories" jibe, I read about an interesting vox pop experiment yesterday by Andrew Gimson in West Bromwich. WB is, of course, Tom Watson's seat and the vox pop was conducted 24 hours before Tom Watson sprang his surprise resignation. Lifelong Labour voters were virulent about Parliament, Jezbollah and Labour's Brexit policy. They are voting for Boris. They said they know he's "a liar, a cheat and a fool" but they really don't care. They just want to Leave.

As I've always said: left, right, centre, none of that really matters anymore. The dividing line is Leave or Remain.

I wanted Raab for Tory leader

Good one Grin

ArseDarkly · 07/11/2019 19:47

They said they know he's "a liar, a cheat and a fool" but they really don't care. They just want to Leave.

And you're happy to be counted in with them and follow the liar cheat and fool to god knows where, dragging everyone else into the ditch as well. No wonder you think 'Jezbollah' is funny Glitterball

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 19:53

Arse, I don't know how to break this to you but I was quoting lifelong Labour voters living in West Brom. I am not a Labour voter, I don't live in West Brom, and they weren't speaking for me.

Stereotypes, eh? Where would we be without them? We'd have to listen to each other properly, not make assumptions, and treat others purely on merit. That would be exhausting 😁

Saucery · 07/11/2019 19:54

When the parties, all of them, decide to stop pissing about, making politics about personalities then whining that the electorate are voting based on personalities, then I can start voting based on solid policies and a more measured, centrist spread of parties.
Until they get their act together and stop trying to recreate some political idyll they remember from when they were teenagers and they dreamed of donkey jackets/champagne towers (delete according to preference) I’ll concentrate on their childish games and choose according to plays those games best. At the moment that’s BJ and the Tories, purely because I don’t think they’ll fuck it all up quite as much as Momentum or Second Coming Swinson.

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 19:58

I think that's an entirely rational 'take' on the whole thing, Saucery.

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 19:59

He looks like a laugh, he looks like good fun, he can happily make a fool out of himself and not take himself too seriously.

That was large part of Farage appeal. Laughing, pint in hand.

Does corbyn look like fun? He's the most droll miserable man I've ever seen, same with macdonnel and his spiteful little face.

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 20:00

Agree saucery

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 20:00

BelleHathor · 07/11/2019 20:01

Fully agree Saucery 👏👏👏 I am happy to admit that Boris is not my mr right, but I feel that he can get the job done. I am sick and tired of the Identity politics that has infected all the other parties and refuse to vote for any party that doesn't know what a woman is. Boris is nicknamed Heineken cause he refreshes parts others can reach and damn am I thirsty for some change 😂😂

Epicwaffle · 07/11/2019 20:08

“He looks like a laugh, he looks like good fun, he can happily make a fool out of himself and not take himself too seriously.”

Like us? Grin

I know that I would visit this pub in real life. Grin

ArseDarkly · 07/11/2019 20:09

Arse, I don't know how to break this to you but I was quoting lifelong Labour voters living in West Brom. I am not a Labour voter, I don't live in West Brom, and they weren't speaking for me.

Except that, as you stated, they are voting Tory. So they are not Labour voters, and they will be voting along with you for the liar, cheat and fool.

I haven't used any stereotypes that i'm aware of but feel free to point them out.

Epicwaffle · 07/11/2019 20:10

I am suffering from a meme drought at the moment, Sad

I need to go and plunge the dark depths of twitter or something...

Wish me luck! Grin

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 20:13

He'd happily embrace the marrows and Sally.

I just feel whatever Boris is or isn't tight now, at this very moment moment with this utterly abominable shit show behind him he looks amazing.

To think in modern day UK, the Jewish community have felt it neccsary to call out to everyone via a huge newspaper ad, to beg us not to vote corybngrad.

This is modern day UK? This is what Labour has become?

Saucery · 07/11/2019 20:14

Lifelong Labour voters swung over to Tory. I find that fascinating, genuinely. And not a little sad, to think that Labour appears to be haemorrhaging supporters at an incredible rate because of JC and the resurgence of Militant.
The Conservatives haven’t changed a great deal, but Labour, wow, Labour have really morphed into a sinister joke at the expense of our parliamentary system and all their lifelong supporters Sad

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 20:15

Epic can't we have something involving budgie smuggler, marrow and Boris 😂😂🥒🥒

Saucery · 07/11/2019 20:15

X post with Genuine re the descent of Labour Sad Sad

MeganBacon · 07/11/2019 20:15

I'm also not a huge fan, but I like the fact that he doesn't micro manage and isn't insecure. He'll hire well and leave them to it and be the front man. Totally the opposite of Theresa May, but I think it will work for now. In terms of intellectual firepower, Labour is just embarrassingly outgunned.

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 20:15

So they are not Labour voters, and they will be voting along with you for the liar, cheat and fool.

Isn't democracy just wonderful, Arse? As Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time".

I love democracy!

ArseDarkly · 07/11/2019 20:23

To think in modern day UK, the Jewish community have felt it neccsary to call out to everyone via a huge newspaper ad, to beg us not to vote corybngrad

The 'jewish community'? Who do you mean?

'A huge newspaper ad' No. A front page leader on a right-wing paper

I just feel whatever Boris is or isn't tight now, at this very moment moment with this utterly abominable shit show behind him he looks amazing.
You really shouldn't talk about the cabinet like that but actually, looking at them, I almost agree with you Grin

ArseDarkly · 07/11/2019 20:29

I love democracy!

I'll check back with you on that in 5 weeks Grin

BelleHathor · 07/11/2019 20:30

So the Jewish Chronicle is right wing now? 🤔

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 20:32

Epic can't we have something involving budgie smuggler, marrow and Boris 😂😂🥒🥒

Don't put ideas in Epic's head. God only knows what she'll come back with Grin

Saucery · 07/11/2019 20:40

She’s been gone a while Shock
