Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Man ?

[Khandro]

Isn't he the man for the job? a leading article in today's Telegraph suggests so, he left the government over Chequers showing resolve, his best qualities are charisma, clarity of philosophy and willingness to take risks. He is, like his hero Churchill, a singular man waiting to be called. Such politicians are often disliked for long periods of time, until their colleagues suddenly realise they were right all along and that, even if they are not necessarily wanted, they are needed. This feels more and more like the hour of Boris Johnson.
Do you agree?

Kromovaracun, as I recall he first worked for The Times but was sacked for fabricating an interview.

[Kromovaracun]

How unsurprising.

Another crazy Brezit thread
oh lord spare us

o well I thought the punch line was gonna be St Nige for only the fourth time today - even as a christian - - i cant entertain that many christian feelings towards that saint

can't we discuss something really important like Jeremy Kyle?

jno; //as I recall he first worked for The Times but was sacked for fabricating an interview.//

He fabricated a quote in 1988 and in 2004 he was 'relieved of his duties' for allegedly lying about an affair, - well, we've all done that, haven't we?

// well, we've all done that, haven't we?//
not me not that i recollect - it was all so long ago
Bo Jo featured in the Sextator scandal as well innit
and is now on wife no 3 ....

I try not to lie a lot of the time because as an indefatigable spectator in court, I see the dire consequences of lying and being found out

my contemporary at skool Nigel West - Rupert Allason was court out lying and got saddled with a wasted costs order - ( under a milliion pounds ) but he was still on spaghetti a few years later

[ However, Allason lost the case and was ordered to pay costs of around £200,000. In passing judgment the trial judge said that Allason was "a profoundly dishonest man" and "one of the most dishonest witnesses I have ever seen".[5][6][7] In September 2005, Allason was threatened with jail for contempt of court in relation to paying the damages from the 2001 case.[8][9][10]] wiggy

Boris would have the dangly bits to just say enough is enough and take the no deal option and have the skill and imagination to make it work.

Thanks for bringing clarity to a complex issue lesser minds like mine have struggled with, Peter.

[Kromovaracun]

Would he really? What reason is there to think that?

[vetuste_ennemi]

The "Deal", Crap at Cryptic, is a new treaty which, unlike the previous one does not have a get out clause.

Although it does require us to pay reparations for having provoked a secessionist war.

Bo jo screws around - is that too complicated for you - as a concept of course not an activity V-e ?

// Boris would have the dangly bits to just say enough is enough//
actually sozza I think boris's dangly bits say; 'enough is never enough' and then drag him ( as Boris's brain labouriously goes froo a few Latin tags, Catullus probably) out on the razzle again

that last paragraph v-e was 'Boris is still screwing around'
