Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

[mudsticks]

So when Boris said "fark business", you took the poster down from your bedroom wall?

Can't say he didn't follow through on that promise though , can you ??

I haven'y got one, but I have got a Boris tea towel, which I feel enables me to get closer to the great man.

I'm all in favour of direct language, but oh dear, a supposed academic using the f word hardly inspires confidence.

Or you could have done some basic research and realised that Jon Worth is not a "Professor" but is a visiting professor (i.e. lecturer). He has a BA and MA. He's a journalist. Presumably you prefer the journalists that talk about letter box burqas and watermelon smiles?

I'd prefer journalists, and anyone else for that matter, didn't use profanities in print.

As regards research, I'd already dismissed him as a waste of space, which serves to illustrate his problem.

Actually not so obvious...

I voted Remain as the least worst option.

I also voted for Boris as the least worst option.

Out of every one on the ballot paper Boris was the 'best' ?

It was a farking tweet.

True, but it was a tweet to >72,000 followers which is probably a higher readership than The National. I don't think he should be surprised that a pro-independence paper ran it.

In that case, not voting would have been a better and more appropriate option for you..

I did consider it, but regard voting as a civic duty,

But for a candidate you didn't think was suitable?

But you chose Johnson as the least worst option 😂 It's not like you hadn't a inkling of what he or the Tories were like.

PK99, sorry , didn't mean to back you into a corner. Who or why we vote is our own concern and we don't have to justify it.

[... except for Boris Johnson! ]

I had exactly the same options. I came to different conclusions.

Con- Raab: Nope. Not voting for Raab as he has no time for his actual constituency.
Lab: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. In Walton on Thames. Not voting for loony hard left party under Corbyn.
Lib Dem: Middle ground. DOn't disagree with all of their policies or agree on all of their policies.

Voted Lib Dem.

My current MP has done a good constituency job.

I'm cool.

Some of the Left always seem confused as to how people vote.

Corbyn = Anti semitic, terrorist supporting Marxist

Swinson = Iliberal, anti-democratic, anti-science.

Boris = none of the above and committed to implementing the Referendum result (I voted remain)
