Indeed; and has anyone (it's hard not to IMHO) noticed that Boris isn't up for a one-to-one debate
One of the two candidates has turned down an opportunity to appear on a Question Time Special on Tuesday because he isn't 'happy' with the audience mix of 50% Tory and 50% 'other' party supporters
No names were mentioned but Jeremy Hunt later Tweeted (quote) "Can confirm I am not sad candidate"![]()
Hidden agendas and lack of honesty appear to be everywhere with Boris and his advisors know he cannot be put in front of a knowledgeable audience on his own
It was recently revealed that the PM actually tried to keep certain levels of information from him when he was Foreign Secretary because he couldn't be trusted with said information enough to prevent him making one of his infamous gaffes
Tells you a lot about the character and the man; yet c.160,000 party members (out of c.60,000,000 residents) will likely put the guy in No.10 on the premise that he is the Messiah
He isn't; he's just a very naughty boy!

Don't particularly like boris but my concern with hunt is he can be swayed given the right circumstances hes already moved his stance
couple if times which means Brexit will probably not happen with him as PM.

My own personal opinion is neither of these two will get us out of the EU clutches as neither will get the full support of the others backers to push BrExit through Parliament which is shameful and the end of democracy in the UK.
As for the other side, well Panorama lifted the lid last night eh?

Jules, Boris' own people confirmed it and my personal opinion is that Brexit won't happen. The politicians don't want to carry out the will of the people via the same majority vote system that got them in and (genuinely) what's the point of an arranged marriage of convenience with no say on the nuptials?
As for the Panorama thing; I'm with you on that and was intrigued to see Labour rejecting most of it on the Daily Politics show today, whilst turning down the invite to have their say
We're in a mess right now and whilst some might say "Go and do better" that is to miss the point; we didn't put ourselves up for election and say "We can do it for you, the public"

Sven when you look at all the things going on in background hunt and boris can say what they like about implementing Brexit but truth is the cons don't have enough majority to push a no deal through or even a dodgy deal for that matter! Got rebellious members who will vote against the deal unless suits them and of course got bercaw who as papers say will manufacture a procedure so that Brexit wont happen... and the moron MPs crying it won't be democratic to bypass parliament, yet Same cretins are running roughshod over democratic will of the people.....

You're not wrong there, Allan![]()
Not sure if you saw Sir John Major on BBC News 'Hard Talk' with Steven Sackur? But tonight I saw a former PM (Major) almost lose his rag and be more passionate than I've ever seen him when questioned on a number of Brexit issues, including how Boris is actually going to deliver!
He called it 'a wasted opportunity' for the UK to re-eatablish itself and that Boris was not going to be 'in control' of what happens next; no matter what he says
Boris, IMHO, is telling the 160,000 Conservative member voters (no one else matters in his world of personal ambition) exactly what they want to here and they're falling for it...hook, line and sinker!

Not only that but he was project fear 30 years ago. His cataclysmic financial predictions should we withdraw must have been completely fabricated. He couldn't have honestly got them so far wrong.
Where would he have taken us that black Wednesday if he the interest rates rises had worked, 2% in the morning 3% in the afternoon. We'd now be in the euro for a cert.
Thankfully we crashed out that night and history proves that everything Major did, every decision and step he took on the ERM was flawed and in the case of the predictions so far wide of the mark you have to question his integrity. In my view he tried very hard to con the nation.

Currently there are three major blocks. USA, China and the EU. Each obviously wants to protect their own markets even at the expense of the others. You could argue all day longer about the strengths and weaknesses of each block. Two are single countries that that pride themselves under a single flag. Two have several languages and cultures within the block. Two are “free” market economies with democratically elected governments.
Globalization has made many corporations and those at the top very very wealthy. Stupidly wealthy. They need to protect the status quo, especially the EU based ones as any weakness will be exploited by the other two blocks. The European globalization lackeys (Blair, Major, Brown, May) wouldn’t really care if Barclays lost market share to Deutsche bank or BNP Paribas, but the likely hood is they’ll lose that share to Morgan Stanley or Citi and that hurts their buddies and other secretive groups they are associated with. They all started with good intentions but real power corrupts. I believe they believe in what they are saying is best for the country, but they are so connected to the 1% they have a distorted view of the world.
The beauty of the EU is you only have to influence one group, the commission and not five or six biggish governments. This makes getting your way so much easier. The MEP’s are as useful and have as much power as the House of lords. How many other democracies top position is not decided by the members of the elected government or directly elected by the populous. It’s just China and Russia without the pretense.
There is no way the UK leaves without a deal !!!! It won’t be allowed. It will all be about the optics. BJ is the only one who can end this. He accepts a deal that can take the extremists in his party with him as well as labour. He doesn’t get a deal and parliament tosses around and causes a General election where labour or the tories may get decimated and ultimately splitting never to see power as a single entity ever again.
For political parties and those who plan to build wealth and a career around them it will be troubling. But they in the guise of globalization (EU) have already taken the coal, steel, engineering, manufacturing away, so it won’t really hurt me anyway.
BJ or Hunt it won’t make a difference the only one they didn’t want is Corbyn, but the labour globalists have nearly killed him off as well.

Ok they just don't want to leave EU full stop! Can have nothing but contempt for them as they are denying the will of the people just for their own personal reasons ? Makes you wonder why MPs go into politics if they are not going to represent the very people who elected them in 1st place!
