No matter what he says, Parliament is not going to let him get out of the EU.
Parliament is a remain parliament and hence they will stop him.
That will play into his hands and the support of the public in my view.
My view is they will pay at the ballot box, but I may be wrong.
However I think not.

No wordsLowbankclaret wrote:What the fact that Eastern European’s go around killing our fish.
That’s just real truth.
However I make no distinction, if it was African, Muslim or English people.
I would still want to kill them.
That’s not being racist, that’s animal protection.
If they were killing dogs or cats many would be in uproar.
But because it’s a fish, no one gives a ****.
So you can accuse me of being an angry ****, but I make no apology for defending helpless animals from anyone.
No matter of gender , colour, creed, religion, sexual orientation or otherwise.
You however called the R card. Typically.

But opinion polls look far more favourable for Boris if the UK has left by the 31st. He'll be seen as the PM who has managed to get Britain out of the EU. Whereas, if we are still in Europe the Tories will lose votes to the Brexit party.Darthlaw wrote:It seems the way he is doing it. He’s creating a people vs parliament argument.

It’s obvious to see. “I was taking you out and they stopped me. I was negotiating and they took my trump card off the table.” I’ll guarantee you no **** will stick to Teflon Boris.
Pretty much Trump 101 divide the people strategy.
Add to that and they won't even agree to a GE because they are scared of the outcome and just want to block brexit. Also the HOC will probably vote any new deal down, which will strengthen his hand even more at the GE. So I don't think the 31st Oct is that big an issue for him anymore.Darthlaw wrote:It seems the way he is doing it. He’s creating a people vs parliament argument.

The EU didn't stop it but they certainly intervened which resulted in quite a change in the makeup of UK banking.Lowbankclaret wrote:Well as far as I understand it.
There was a run on Northern rock as banks admitted they were in trouble.
I bought £1000 of Northern rock thinking the gov would not let it go bust. Wrong £1000 gone.
I think HBOS were next who I had loads of shares in, think there was some insider dealing as RBS bought it out. Wrongly as it turns out.
Realising RBS and Barclays were next on the going bust list the Gov stepped in and took a 75% stake in RBS with public money and I think a 30% stake in Barclays.
The treasury then stepped in to ease markets as the whole banking system would have collapsed worldwide.
I bought Barclays at 80p, gov sold their stake in Barclays, I sold Barclays shares at £3. Recovering my loss in Northern Rock
I still have loads of shares in RBS, most I got as inheritance from my grandad as HBOS shares which were £8-9 at time and are still worth about 60p today.
The EU did not step in to stop this as it would have been a worldwide catastrophe but it was against EU rules.
What’s more worrying is that the actions of the banks that led to this are still carrying on today.
The next time the world will not be able to afford to bail out the banks.
All the Tory austerity was caused by the banks, don’t ever forget that.

Why is the backstop clearly undemocratic?summitclaret wrote:The next lie to be slain is that BJ and the Tories want a no deal Brexit. I know that it suits remainers to keep lying but the voters will not be taken in.
How many times does he and others have to say that they want a free trade deal but will leave without a deal if the EU insist on the clearly undemocratic backstop as brexit needs to be sorted.
Because it keeps the UK tied to the EU. People voted to leave the EU therefore it’s in democratic. Not difficult to understand.martin_p wrote:Why is the backstop clearly undemocratic?
Only until such time as we’ve sorted the Irish border. And if the backstop comes into play we’ll have left the EU. Not difficult to understand.Right_winger wrote:Because it keeps the UK tied to the EU. People voted to leave the EU therefore it’s in democratic. Not difficult to understand.
So it takes agreement of both sides to end the backstop rather than one side being allowed to do something unilaterally. Which sounds more ‘democratic’?summitclaret wrote:If you don't know by now you must must have no ability to understand another side's views.
I will give you a clue. The backstop could only be left when the EU say we could or a court that always sides with them or an arbitration that they can influence the chair of.
You clearly have no comprehension of what you are actually saying.martin_p wrote:So it takes agreement of both sides to end the backstop rather than one side being allowed to do something unilaterally. Which sounds more ‘democratic’?
A50 says we can leave if no deal agreed by the deadline if we decide not to ask to extend. The draft treaty says we can only leave if the backstop is sorted. It's not rocket science. As a strong leaver ( with a deal) i would rather remain for now than sign up to the current backstop because it retains our right to leave unilaterally.martin_p wrote:So it takes agreement of both sides to end the backstop rather than one side being allowed to do something unilaterally.

It’s this ‘we don’t trust foreigners’ attitude that got us into this mess in the first place. It’s not a trap, it’s to stop a border in Ireland.Right_winger wrote:You clearly have no comprehension of what you are actually saying.
So the backstop is a device mainly designed by the EU in which to protect their SM/CU. If we leave no deal then the EU do not want a backdoor into their protectionist market, however the device is also very useful in negotiations as we will be bound by rules which we have no influence over for ever and a day so the EU can basically bully us into a deal which suits them. If we stand up to them we could be left in the backstop paralysis forever and a day, abiding by rules and regulations we have no influence over.
The democratic will of the United Kingdom is to leave the EU, not be bound by its tentacles forever and a day. If you don’t understand that point you are either more dense than you appear.

It’s the press that are a kind of rudder for British public opinion; playing down Johnson’s transgressions, lies, and outright refusal to even comment on certain issues, while playing him up as a kind of “people’s champion” and misrepresenting the political situation as the people’s own elected representatives and judiciary as against the people. If Corbyn or Swinson had prorogued Parliament, the Daily Mail would be falling for revolution.Erasmus wrote:I completely agree with Aggi on the point about prorogation. Is it now acceptable for a PM to tell bare-faced lies that everyone knows are lies? I just find the the presumption that people will simply accept his lying something terrible.
