Reply to: Number 10 leak: get ready for the hardest of no deal brexits on the 31st

Of course he's got a girl, and a Hayabusa, and a villa in Portugal, and a couple of million in the bank, and more degrees than you!

Just the one would do it...

They're all not true you bultulipting twunt!

Incorrect, I'm afraid.

One of those isn't true.

I'm guessing you're a number 1. Number 2 would involve you finding a girl to breed with, and that's stretching things a little bit too far...

Problem is there's no shortage of them on this forum, and in the general population at large.

I'm beginning to wonder if the distribution of intelligence in the UK and US is not Gaussian anymore, there now being a large left skew, due to two factors:

1. Not educating the lower rungs of society sufficiently well and
2. Compounding this issue by arranging society such that the lower orders have more time to breed due to being economically inactive, whilst the state pays for their offspring.

sounds like Switzerland. they always have their mass and civil unrest on Sundays.

It's about the only thing that's legal on a Sunday in Switzerland...

The only view that Boris has is how to further his own persona agenda. He cares not about the UK or it's population.

Given the fact that he is happy to wreck the economy (according to any credible expert including the civil service) with a no-deal Brexit, what greater calamity needs to occur to reasonably expect for him to change his views?

The main argument against Corbin is that Labour government will increase taxes and borrowing to pay for the socialist agenda. Not much different to what Tories will have to do to pay for the no-deal Brexit according to official figures. With the big exception being that with Corbin we will at least have a healthyish economy to begin with, while with a no-deal Brexit the starting point will be an already wrecked economy.

Given that fact that as part of the EU we already have FTA with most of the top 20 economies, only a complete moron would believe we can "do better" on FTAs outside of the EU.

Assumption is that Boris will continue on the same path because you do not think he can change his views and therefore his fiscal policies based on new and emerging evidence.

Which is you bias against Boris.

Brexit cancelled on Saturday, mass civil unrest on Sunday, back to work on Monday.

Indeed, in the context of warnings from the vast majority of business leaders, Bozo is pursuing a hard Brexit, which is almost certainly a minority position in the country.

I wish he would make it so, for the laughs.

Perhaps it's his "Fook Business" comment that makes us think he hasn't got a clue.

"I don't think anybody could doubt the passionate support of this government for business," Mr Johnson said.
"It may be that I have, from time to time, expressed scepticism about some of the views of those who profess to speak up for business."

You beat your own argument with that one statement. The data we have today, is that if Boris continues on this current path we will be worse off by a data driven prediction.

The data we have today for Corbyn is more limited purely because he isn't in power and hence we don't know what policies he will actually put place. Also, we don't know whether he would even have a majority government (unlikely) or would be propped up by Lib Dems, SNP etc and hence he won't be allowed to implement anything extreme.

You won't agree as your mind is already made up. I get that, but, there you have it anyway
