Although he's clearly not everyone's cup of tea.

The European Parliament's Brexit coordinator, Guy Verhofstadt MEP, said of Mr Johnson's Hulk analogy: "Even to Trumpian standards the Hulk comparison is infantile.

"Is the EU supposed to be scared by this? The British public impressed? Is this Boris Johnson whistling in the dark?"

Boris Johnson is Theresa May in a suit but with more unpleasant mates

This analogy is ripe for mirth for any comicbook fan.

The Silver Surfer has beaten Hulk before, so Juncker has a readt made response. Lol

RWR they always set themselves to be ridiculed.

Boris is an idiot, if we really want out then you have to pit the 27 against 1. Sure we'll cancel A50, but don't for one second think you'll ever get anything done again. Childish, but the only way, the EU has no mechanism for expelling member states, soooo, you let them negotiate on your terms if they want you out.

I am not quite understanding that.

Are you saying cancel A50, then make the EU force us out?

Well, there are 2 (sane) choices, there always are in life. First cancel A50 and properly engage with Europe, personally I don't think that will ever happen. Rightly or wrongly regardless of how you voted the (large) majority of people don't feel "European" Island mentality, whatever, but it is true.

2nd choice, as the brexit deal is very disadvantageous, cancel A50, then make the EU 27 plead with you to leave, under your terms of course (no mechanism to chuck a member state out)

Wise words

It is true, the UK have always felt less European than the rest of the EU nations, quite possibly due to being a separate island.

I think the jolly green giant is going for the 3rd choice.

How long do you think Buffoon will last?

If he won't ask for an extension and can't get a deal then, as leaving without a deal is illegal, he will have to revoke Article 50 and remain.

Simples.

As short a time as possible I hope.

He is saying what you want to hear.

If he announced he had stolen a toilet made of gold you would believe it

You can bet Dominic Cummings has had all these phrases tested in focus groups....they are all designed to get Brexiteers excited.

pound would rise
gdp would bounce as businesses suddenly start to put their plans in place that have been put on hold.
Johnson would be a hero.

Sadly he wont so it because it would end the Tory party......or would they come out the following day saying 'its what we've always said we would do'.

The shape of things to come -

Trump is now even lying about the weather and also talking about a third term - not allowed.
