Listening to him speaking from NY he sounded like it was business as usual. He said that the verdict was disappointing but never sounded like he was about to quit.

Yes, I saw that interview too. I suppose he is waiting to get back to London to see what Cummings advises. Given that Cummings has previously stated his intention to shake up and even destroy the political class, consideration now needs to be given to the possibility that Cummings is actually in No.10 to undermine Johnson. 

 

Given that Cummings is a seasoned operator and both Johnson and most of his current cabinet are political lightweights, if he wants to do damage from within, he is ideally positioned.

Can't trust the public can't trust the politicians, wait until some clown like Jezza the Red gives the vote to 16 year olds and the <removed> becomes complete with Thungbergesque drama queens getting in on the act !

I'd have well educated - even if I disagree with them - 16 year olds voting rather than thick as mince 40 year olds voting leave to send the Muslims home/straight bananas/etc.

 

But I agree, I wouldn't trust politicians and that's worse. They have access to reports, researchers that I can't begin to compete with or understand, and still they lie.

So if Boris did something illegal when does his case come up in court?

You missed it.

 

He was found guilty in the court of public opinion.

If he did quit now, he would be the shortest serving PM in history. Clearly, his ego trumps everything - the people, the country, the constitution.

I think public opinion was with him, obviously the remoaner judges? were not.

What a silly but predictable comment

What do you call the widespread branding of Remainers as traitors, of late, if not intimidation?

How about the widespread branding of leavers calling them, racist, xenophobic, uneducated gammoners, which started soon after the referendum results and well before any of the branding of remainers of late. Leavers have put up with this for over 3 years.

I’ve not seen much support for him today, apart from a few extreme Leave supporters. Even Farage has criticised him and called for Dominic Cummings to get the boot.

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you’re on, people only discredit themselves when they employ these kind of blanket slurs.
