The Guardian ^ | 5/24/19

I thought there was already an automatic withdrawal in March or something. Whatever happened to that?

[naturalman1975]

May negotiated a new agreement that wound up with a 31st October date.

[FrdmLvr]

Ok now I remember. Duh on me. Thanks!

[naturalman1975]

It’s such a mess, it can be hard to keep it all straight :)

Is it just me or does Boris Johnson remind you of Gary Busey? 😆

“I wonder who is the Trump of the UK Conservative Party? Any English FReepers know?”

Boris has 5 kids and cheated on both his wives.

The NYT calling Johnson “unscrupulous/ramshackle” increases his status.

[little jeremiah]

Thanks for that bit of info, Miss M. Now I remember why I was not enthusiastic about Johnson when his name came up yesterday.

[Cuttnhorse]

nothing will change with boris - he’s part of their swamp.

My thought too. I will be amazed if he pulls it off.

[little jeremiah]

Thank you for that additional.

Boris Johnson: UK will leave EU in October, deal or no deal
THAT’S how you do it!

[RightGeek]

[Cronos]

I hope they leave with a no-deal. That will mean a lot of money coming here :)

[Cronos]

Good job BoJO. Take the Hard no-deal Brexit and leave in July!

[Cronos]

There is no one like Trump in UK politics.

Don’t compare President Trump with any of the doofuses here.

Trump delivered what he promised and planned and prepared.

The UK politicos including Bojo, Farage and May do not deliver and do not perform.

The closest one to a politico who will deliver what he promised is Corbyn - and he has promised to create a Communist UK out of the EU (as he and his communist buddies hate the EU for being capitalist)

[miss marmelstein]

It’s good to remember who and what he was before he decided, for careerist reasons, to apparently try to throw in with Trump now.

Good to see you on the boards, LJ.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

I’m not BoJo’s biggest fan, but to be fair, the reason he criticised Trump was because Trump slagged off the city he was mayor of, so he wouldn’t really have been doing his job had he not come out in defence of the city he represented. The fact he managed to get relected as mayor twice despite being a Tory in what was a Labour stronghold full of ethnic minority voters is testement to his ability to appeal to voters.

That said, he voted for the withdrawel agreement and I’m sceptical that he is the uncompromising brexiter he is painting himself as. I’ll believe that when I see it. If he doesn’t pull it off, both he and the Tories are dead and in the dustbin of history.

[miss marmelstein]

Boris Johnson is a careerist. It now suits him to like Trump but in the past he kept insulting Trump in stupid fashion because Trump made a remark about London crime. He also came to NYC and had a little meltdown when some tourist mistakenly thought he was Trump.

Didn’t he also go to Trump Tower uninvited? That seems like a vague memory.
