Kippers

[darmstadt]

A slight flaw in his argument....

"If you must understand why we must leave the EU, the advantages of coming out of the EU and the ability to take back control of our democracy and our own regulatory framework, I want you to consider this kipper," said the Tory leadership favourite on stage, waving the plastic-wrapped smoked fish in the air.The prop, which he said had been handed to him by the editor of a national newspaper, allowed him to make a joke about winning back UKIP voters. But his real point was about "Brussels bureaucrats".
Johnson claimed that a kipper smoker in the Isle of Man was "utterly furious" at the costs of having to deliver his smoked fish on ice, according to what Johnson claimed was EU regulation.

The Isle of Man is a crown dependency and is neither part of the EU or the UK. Its relationship to the EU is akin to what the UK's will be after Brexit - needing to conform to EU rules in order to have access to its market - but with no say over those rules. You will shortly, possibly, have this man in Downing Street when he doesn’t even understand the boundaries and status of parts of the British Isles?

He used to promise £350 million a week to the NHS
He's now promising that we will have water and Mars bars and look, here's a fish.

I can't believe that the probable leader of our country is campaigning by waving a fish and waffling, and his followers are clapping like seals, hoping he'll throw them the fish.

The best bit was the standing ovation.

He was unhinged, he makes Corbyn look economically competent and Trump seem like a moderate, at least on economic and trade policy

Where and when did he say that?

Debunked, the lying little tulip:

"While the food business operator has an obligation to meet the microbiological requirements to ensure the safety of its food, however the sale of products from the food business operator to the final consumer is not covered by EU legislation on food hygiene."

...

"The case described by Mr Johnson falls thus purely under UK national competence. "

Boris is a liar SHOCKER!

Where and when did he say that the NHS is going to get £350m per week?

Where and when did he say that the NHS is going to get £350m per week?

This is what he said

“And yes – once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week. It would be a fine thing, as many of us have pointed out, if a lot of that money went on the NHS, provided we use that cash injection to modernise and make the most of new technology.”

You can read the whole statement on his Facebook page or in his column in the Daily Telegraph:


Boris Johnson - Morning all, it's a long one but here's my... | Facebook

However, he did go on to state:

"There was an error on the side of the bus. We grossly underestimated the sum over which we would be able to take back control," Johnson, who played a lead role in the Brexit campaign, told The Guardian.

What you do have to remember is that Johnson is a pathological liar who will say anything that people will want to hear and then the opposite. I do hope you will enjoy his leadership
