Why Is Boris John On A General Election Tour ?

[Gromit]

Boris’ General Election was cancelled on Tuesday.
Why is he still touring the realm handing out dosh from the Magic Money tree?

Yesterday he was in Yorkshire. It didn’t go well. A man asked him “Why aren’t you in Brussels negotiating, instead of wasting your time in Morley ? It’ a good question.

Today the Boris Battle Bus is in Aberdeen. He wasn’t met by the Conservative Scottish leader (because she resigned). It wasn’t long before his first gaffe. He started bidding on a box of Cod, but had no idea what was a good price to pay, so he won the auction by overpaying for it. Maybe it is a good thing he is hanging around a fish market than negotiating in Brussels .

Think he ought to donate his box of cod, payed for by the Tax Payer ?. to one of the food banks that he and his party have created.

[Gromit]

Cadet fainting.

To be fair to Boris he did ask if she was alright, and did say it was probably a signal to wind up his speech.

salmond, sturgeon,
over priced fish seems to be criteria for first minister up here

[Ken4155]

Yes he did, Gromit. Then he carried on waffling for a few more minutes about Corbyn's rejection of a GE. When he was actually there to laud police recruitment.

[Gromit]

The Opposition Parties have just confirmed that they intent to again vote against a General Election until after Brexit. Which is either the end of October or the end of January.

Boris will still bring a Bill on Monday even though the result is a foregone conclusion. But it wastes even more precious time.

When fishing, there is one idiot at one end of the line, and many idiots at the other.

"“Why aren’t you in Brussels negotiating, instead of wasting your time in Morley ? It’ a good question."

No it is not, that is if you have hald an ounce of grey matter. Does he honestly think it is only Boris (and whichever EU grandee) negotiating?

Thick remainer perhaps ;-)

One would hope that the Chief Constable is seen as fairly impartial, and he's clearly not impressed, so hopefully that settles the issue.

No harm in Johnson giving a speech about recruitment of police officers*, but turning it into an election campaign speech does a disservice to the police he was claiming to praise.

*to replace all the ones the Tories got rid of.

As a humble artisan, I need a better understanding of the present situation.

As I see it, the current thrust calls for voting against a “no deal”

This is surely a double negative. Encouragement to vote NO to a NO. Applying Boolean Logic, this implies a NOT NOT decision, Which would return a positive.

So, the positive result would be defined as voting for a deal.

However, those people advocating a NOT NOT are the very ones wanting to REMAIN, which , by definition, requires no deal at all.

So this leaves us with a Boolean NOT NOT NOT, which returns a negative.

So glad I cleared that one up.

[jim360]

Maybe you need modal logic.

It's possible that voting for a no deal necessarily means that it's not possible to not vote for not a deal. Possibly.

Exactly ;o((((

Thank you Jim ;o)

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but Sky News got hold of an un-redacted version of one of the documents released yesterday.

The redacted version of the PM's handwritten note started, "The whole September session is a rigmarole introduced xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and show the public that MPs are earning their crust."

The un-redacted version shows the "xxx..." said, "by girly swot Cameron."

It's so nice that we haven't yet lost dignity in politics.

[Old_Geezer]

I thought too, that he'd got Cameron's number. :-)

[jno]

he does seem to use "girl" as an insult, doesn't he?

[THECORBYLOON]

Does the fact the un-redacted document has the wee red boxes surrounding the words mean it is not the original document?

I'm wondering if the way it was redacted meant it could be un-hidden but show the wee boxes still?

[Old_Geezer]

Describing folk as the opposite sex, or as a piece of the opposite sex's clothing, is usually taken as an insult.
