There is still No Deal Brexit on the table in 2020, if the Tories really wanted an election they could progress the WA and get it taken off. Instead we have a gimick to cover up the fact that leaving, do or die, on the 31st October isn't happening. The more they taunt the weaker the government look. The problem with that is the longer you think you are letting him stew, the higher his ratings go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted October 24, 2019 Bertie is getting quite desperate as are the not too bright who cannot see through him. Everyone of his 'wheezes' has failed And this latest election one is all he has left - and he knows well that the bigot vote will be split between him and Farage Holding an election when Parliament will close a few days after for a three week break seems absurd, as is the idea of closing it down for 5 weeks before., with the plan seeming to be 'don't let voters see just how bad the deal is' by allowing Parliament to scrutinise and debate it. If it is such a worthy deal then voters will flock to support it and the party proposing it. Or maybe it is such a shower of **** that Johnson knows it has to be kept hidden, like some mad great aunt in the west wing. Finally, it was interesting to see Labour MPs state today that they voted or the WAB to progress beyond the 2nd reading for that very same reading - the public needs to know what is being done in their name.

Bill 1,788 Posted October 24, 2019 11 minutes ago, Herman said: How will Johnson be able to lead an election campaign from the ditch he died in? Even Lazarus would struggle...... I think there is the small matter of investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct into Johnson's suggested 'malfeaseance in public office'. Which I believe is due for publication in the next week. Waiting behind them to have their 'bite' is the London Assembly whose view is that the accusations against him amount to very serious misconduct, while the money that was given in grants to his 'floozy' has been halted and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are now investigating how the money was awarded. As with Trump this stuff will not go away and Bertie might have good reason to cut and run now. But this snowball of scrutiny grows ever bigger by the day, and I expect the 'strange' dealings over the garden bridge to surface again during the investigations. Bertie or Gobsheite Trump..... who will be sent to the nick first is still yet to be seen (see Poulson, Maudling). Inrteresting times ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) 'A promise to mint millions of 50p coins to commemorate Brexit day could spell a Halloween nightmare for the government after MPs thwarted Boris Johnson's chances of fast-tracking his deal through parliament. Mr Johnson has repeatedly said that he intends to take the country out of the EU on October 31, but lost a key vote in the Commons earlier this week which has thrown the departure date into doubt. Chancellor Sajid Javid announced plans for the celebratory coins earlier this year, asking for three million to be in circulation for when Britain leaves the EU.' Don't laugh, but the thickos intended to produce millions of commerative 50ps for 29th March 2019 as well 🤑 However our concern must be for the likes of Rees-Mogg and others who may well have 'shorted the pound' and stand to gain by a no deal exit - as with Crispin Odey who made £300m when the pound plunged following the UK referendum result in 2016. He is a no-deal backer, doesn't deny he will prosper if that happens, and contributed £10,000 towards Boris Johnson's campaign. Let's hope poor Bertie isn't found dangling under Blackfriars bridge as was Roberto Calvi.😢 Edited October 24, 2019 by Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
