Re: Boris
There have been many far worse PMs than May. She was dealt a dreadful hand, by Hameron, and her premiership was totally dominated by Brexit.

Isn’t it a coincidence that, as with May and whoever wins Tuesday, two of them had the crown given to them and didn’t win it.

Personally didn't agree with much of what Thatcher did, but she was good at her job.
Callaghan - a modest man - once admitted that he was probably the worst PM for 200 years, but he inherited a poisoned chalice from Wilson, and was actually turning things round, and most analysts believe that had he called a Gen Election in 1978 he would have won, but he delayed and everything went wrong for him that winter. Achieved way more than May though.
Like May, Major was dogged by the extreme anti-EU factions in his party, but his handling of the economy was generally regarded as more than competent as he took us out of the 1990 / 92 recession, and he defied all expectations by winning the 1992 general Election with the highest ever popular vote (to that date). [Over 14 million].
He also paved the way for the Belfast Agreement.
Will history judge that Cameron or May achieved anything positive? (And there are a long list of negatives).

Re: Boris
Wasn't in favour of having a referendum. But I wouldn't find it easy arguing that Cameron is the worst PM ever because of Brexit, given he democratically delivered what a majority of people want. In several years a majority of people might look back and say Cameron sticking to his manifesto promise to hold a referendum, resulting in Brexit, has proven to be a good thing. I have big doubts about that but like everyone else I don't know.nil_desperandum wrote:Can only think of one, and that's the guy who preceded her and left us all in this mess. (Cameron)

I can't be as sure as you, but I feel it's too early for me to judge anyway without knowing the true impact of Brexit. He didn't need a plan for losing prior to the referendum - couldn't have meaningfully engaged the EU prior to the result and there's been the last three years for doing that which has obviously failed. And there's no way he could do anything other than resign at that point.nil_desperandum wrote:Except in his Etonian arrogance he only planned for winning and that's why we're in such a state, and additionally when he lost he ran away like a spoilt child.

As PM your job is to do what’s best for Britain. As she knows a no deal is disastrously bad for the UK she tried to get a deal. Because she’d climbed into bed with the Unionist party that was never going to happen.

We only ever had 2 bargaining chips the threat of a no deal, and the 39 billion we paid them every year. As has been highlighted this week she gave them up without the EU even asking. She was bloody atrocious, and a lying atrocity to boot. She should have stepped aside for someone who actually believed in Brexit.
People, especially remainers, will blame this mess on Brexit, but it isnt and never was Brexits fault, just the incompetent cow pretending to deliver it.

Churchill, Eden, MacMillan, Home, Callaghan, Major, Brown, May and Boris/Hunt have all become PM since 1940 without winning an election first and some were never elected Home, Callaghan, Brown.
Eden was the only one of those to call an immediate General Election after taking office- Churchill for obvious reasons didn't in 1940.
Only Eden, McMillan Major and May were returned to office after the GE which followed their first stint as PM.
Only Attlee, Wilson, Heath, Thatcher, Blair and Cameron took the PM post after first winning a GE
Re: Boris
Please can we not call him Boris. Every other PM was generally referred to bu using their last name.
Calling this person by his first name infers friendliness, acceptance, even an amount of likeability.
He is a dangerous, self serving, arrogant semi fascist and I will never, ever call him anything other than Johnson.
God help the north of England for investment when he gets in and we leave the EU. It will make the winter of discontent look like last summer.
Tosser!

Apparently the EU have had secret meetings with him in a desperate move to avoid No deal.

The problem is, because of the last 3 years, we wont get a deal until after we've left without one.

Then we can remove Boris.

Re: Boris
A really poor comparison to be honest. Johnson has his faults but he hasn't started gassing anybody yet. The German people were blind to much of what the Reich were doing, they could only see, or only hear the positives. If Hitler was around today he wouldn't find it so easy. Johnson wont find it easy either. The press, media and his enemies will be waiting to pounce on every little snippet of bad news. Hes going to need a lot of luck to survive.nil_desperandum wrote:I believe that the vast majority of businessmen and trad.

He also deserves patience to see what Brexit can deliver. I believe it's for the best, but it will take a couple of years at least for it to manifest itself.
If the negativity and back stabbing continue post Brexit, then we will reap what we sow.

Boris is on a huge gamble and he knows damn well what the score is .If it fails ( very possibly) and it goes t1ts up he can just say he was shafted by parliament /remainers etc ( and he’s very likely correct ) he can mooch off ruffle his hair have a pint of port and find some new fillys to roger . However if he pulled it off he’ll be “Sir Bojo of Londinium” in perpetuity.
It’s also worth noting Brexit aside he’s a soppy old tart with very mainstream centrist modern Tory views , not quite the “ alt right” klansman the puce faced ragers would have you believe
