Actually, that was fast. She's clearly just seen what's in POTUS' trove of e-mails and paperwork, so she now knows for sure she's done.

Yup. Well done Nigel. Without him she’d have clung on until Doomsday.Quote:

The thing Boris definitely can and does do is win elections. Right now, the Tory party need that above all else.Quote:

In the week before Jo Cox's murder, Leave was on average 4-5 pts ahead. Then after the killing people were less inclined to tell pollsters they were voting the same way as a racist murderer, which makes sense.
But if you have a look at how the polls jumped, it's clear what happened.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinio...eferendum#2016
The week before the death had Leave 8-2 Remain. After her death it was 10-3 the other way.
Also, Ed M was well behind on both Best PM and Economic Competence. And no HMLO has ever become PM if behind on either of those, let alone both.
It was clear that while they'd tell the pollsters they'd vote Lab cos they were unhappy with Dave, that given they also told them that Ed was no use as a PM and couldn't be trusted with the economy, that when they came to think about it during the campaign, they wouldn't vote for him in the polling booth.
And look where that got us.
I called Brexit before the referendum was even announced.Quote:

People over-complicate these things. Sometimes it’s just obvious to anyone with eyes in their head, a half-decent brain and an understanding of what the British are actually like.
Go on, then.Quote:

Quite looking forward to a Hard Brexit...has the feel of that Y2K bug when everyone thought they’d wake up to us being back in the stone ages but in reality it’s no different to having a massive bet in the Grand National imo
Shame we couldn’t get a grand send off like the Hong Kong lot imo
Except that the reason Y2K didn't cause any problems is **** loads of experts spent a lot of time and money fixing it.Quote:

As for BoJo, I agree with B, he will win an election, and will immediately tone down his rhetoric, unlike Trump. BoJo will have fulfilled his life’s ambition and is much thicker skinned.
We saw the prototype as mayor. Some will describe him as asinine and he will be fairly devoid of any interesting ideas, but he will be pretty steady none the less.
He's not asinine. Donkeys are cool. They're much nicer than Brexiters or Tories. Benjamin the Donkey was ace in Animal Farm. He was the only non-pig who could read.Quote:
