At last a leader we can all get behind.

[Zigenare]

He is a compulsive liar. And really bizarre lies. Like the prawn cocktail crisps business.

Just what was the "prawn cocktail crisps business"?

Was it written on the side of a bus, or was it in his column in a newspaper?

It made it into his newspaper column a few times - some of which are behind a firewall, others aren't:
I'm no longer Nasty, but please stop lying about Nice - Telegraph

What was Boris's role with the Newspaper, was he an investigative journalist or was he paid for his at times entertaining opinions regarding the going's on in Brussels?

Oh shhhh now, how dare you question the "received wisdom" (of the doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters)

Classic!

Some of my most joyous hours have been spent in a state of semi-incoherence, composing foam-flecked hymns of hate to the latest Euro-infamy: the ban on the prawn cocktail flavour crisp; the billions spent to export unsmokable Greek tobacco to the Third World; the European Commission's plot to scrap our double-decker buses; the tense international row over the dimensions of the Euro-condom; the vicious and unprincipled dumping of French beef in the Sahel region of Africa.

[woohoo]

Good for you for believing in the promises of a compulsive liar. It shows admirable optimism.

He will keep those huns in the Eu on their toes. Faint left with a lie and an upper cut with the truth.

Those dirty dictators are like the Italian, German and French football teams. Don’t play by the rules, lucky for us Boris makes the rules up.

He was the correspondent for the Daily Telegraph to report on the EU, except he made it up

His rise began at the Telegraph, as EU correspondent and later assistant editor....
Many of his fellow journalists there were critical of his articles, opining that they often contained untruths designed to discredit the Commission
...
At that time, Johnson was "one of the greatest exponents of fake journalism"
...
He helped make Euroscepticism "an attractive and emotionally resonant cause for the Right", whereas previously it was associated with the British Left
...
Contemplating a political career, in 1993 Johnson outlined his desire to stand as a Conservative candidate to be a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in the 1994 European Parliament elections.

He also wrote this for them just before backing the leave campagin...

In April 2016, Boris Johnson penned a column for the Daily Telegraph outlining the benefits of the EU, claiming that “the membership fee seems rather small for all that market access”

I wasnt a fan of Boris, but he really is stepping up to the plate.

I think it's clear to see he will take a hard stance with the EU. Out by end of October and positive about the future.

Even the hard-line remainers are finally coming around.

Just talking some woolly BS talk doesn't make remainers come around and follow some buffoon.

[woohoo]

Less of the negativity, if you aren’t part of the solution you are part of the problem.
