Boris At Conference

Just watched him. Fantastic!💪👏🏻

Sue Hammond ● 2597d28 Comments

Yes, his public speaking style is well honed, goes back to his Oxford Union and Bullingdon Club days, but he wasn't too hot on details and substance - it also appears he could be about to breach the GFA but, again, no details - and should the PM really be undermining parliament? If the PM doesn't control parliament it's a sign of his failure. Some good panto style jokes though (although hasn't he used the salmon and sturgeon one before?); is he practicing for his next career?

Michael Ixer ● 2597d

Panicking much, lol?

Sue Hammond ● 2597d

Not panicking Sue. But I'm not the only one concerned that he's planning to breach the GFA 😞 

Michael Ixer ● 2597d

just the usual guff, not one single policy announcement

Matt Palmer ● 2597d

I like Sue Hammond a lot there aren't many Sue's left in the world unfortunately. Straight talking and still proud of this wonderful country we live in. As my dad tells me. When you have a UK Passport, you've won the lottery. I believe every day. There was no better day for me when England won the cricket world cup with Moeen Ali signing my shirt. Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid all playing for England and being proud to be British. Boris is proud to be British and Corbyn hates this country, our troops and hates the Queen, that is a fact, how can anyone hate the Queen for starters? She is the pride of the Nation.

Queues around the block to get into conference and watch his speech Sue.An honourable man wanting to deliver the result of the 2016 referendum despite all the mud that the Remain press are throwing at him.Charlotte Edwardes and her Remain ex BBC boyfriend Robert Peston trying to derail Boris but to no avail.Bring on BREXIT on the 31st October, exciting times ahead Sue.Woohoo :-)

Paul Game ● 2597d

Nick, after your unfortunate outburst against European countries which you claimed was due to drink and for which you apologised, you said you would stick to sport and shops. There is no fact that Corbyn hates the queen and nobody here has personally attacked her. Please focus your energies on improving the shops in PHS

Jane Carter ● 2597d

Jane. A point of detail. I'm not sure it's the Queen Corbyn hates. I think it's her position as head of state as he doesn't believe in the hereditary monarchy system?

Michael Ixer ● 2597d

Michael, absolutely. Nick said Corbyn hates the queen. A preference for a republic over a hereditary monarchy does not amount to hating the queen - totally agree

Jane Carter ● 2597d

Jane. Sorry,  yes we do agree. I musread/cross read the posts slimming through on my phone! 

Michael Ixer ● 2597d

Johnson’s solution to avoid a border on the island of Ireland is to place two borders ... Really? Just. Really?“We are a world class athlete with a pebble in our shoe” We are no longer a world class athlete and haven't been since the referendum.“I am afraid that after three and a half years people are beginning to feel that they are being taken for fools” No Boris, people aren’t beginning to feel like they are being taken for fools, people KNOW they have been taken in by fools like yourself.

Lucille Grant ● 2597d

Michael. Thought so. Wish I could slim on my phone!

Jane Carter ● 2597d

Oops. Drafting on thee hoof never is wise! 🙂 

Michael Ixer ● 2597d

An honourable man? I know for a fact that that's not true.

Freddie Francis ● 2597d

And Corbyn has not damaged the Royal Family, unlike the "loyal" (?) Daily Mail has.

@Jane 2.10.19 14.57"Nick, after your unfortunate outburst against European countries which you claimed was due to drink and for which you apologised, you said you would stick to sport and shops. There is no fact that Corbyn hates the queen and nobody here has personally attacked her. Please focus your energies on improving the shops in PHS"I wasn't on the forum much yesterday and have only just read your post Jane.  I don't know anything about Nick's earlier post but what you need to accept is that not everybody is a rampant Europhile and we are all entitled to our opinions, even if they differ from yours. I know this may be a difficult notion for you (and Richard) to accept, but get used to it. Corbyn probably doesn't hate the Queen but he is definitely anti-monarchy and is on record stating that when her reign is over the monarchy should be abolished. As for your last sentence, we all know how hard Nick strives to get new business into our High Street so how bloody arrogant you sound!😡

Sue Hammond ● 2596d

@Paul 2.10.19. 14.37Yes Paul there was a great positive buzz at Conference, it was palpable from just watching it on tv. Such a difference from watching May who just didn't connect with anybody. The support and enthusiasm of BJ's ministers was palpable and Priti Patel in particular was very enthused.😉 I really like her, and I really like Carrie too because she's a great animal lover. That is not a tag for jokes about Boris ...😸

Sue Hammond ● 2596d

Hitler and Goering were both keen on animals too.

Caroline Whitehead ● 2596d

SueBetter look at Nick's earlier post on the Boris/Angela love in thread and his own apology before you rush in again. I am quite aware of the fact that Nick works hard for Putney. You need to accept that 'not everybody is a rampant' Brexiteer. However I do agree with you about a second referendum for Scotland.

Jane Carter ● 2596d

"Hitler and Goering were both keen on animals too"Fatuous comment Caroline.

Sue Hammond ● 2596d

Exciting times Sue.I think the Tories and the Brexit party will get 65% of constituencies at the next election.#happydays

Paul Game ● 2596d

Not at all 'fatuous', Sue. It's a fact.

Lucille Grant ● 2596d

@Paul 15.36If Brexit hasn't happened by the 31st I think your prediction will be quite possible. However if Boris gets his deal through will Farage and TBP vote be considerably diminished?  Intriguing.  I can't wait for the GE!!

Sue Hammond ● 2596d

Yes a good point Sue. A clean cut Brexit would kill TBP.This forum is funny Sue. I just popped back on here recently after a few months away and the same few Remainer do-gooders holier-than-thou attitude having a pop at you all the time still.Nice to see a few people sticking up for you as well😀They dont like us gatecrashing their Remainer forum monopoly😂🤣😂

@Sue Keep up the good work standing up for Brexit, and continuing to show the moral courage of your convictions on this Remain bias forum.You are a real🌟@David Twice in one day you've made me chuckle. Can you please stop this as laughter and banter is strictly prohibited on this forum!

Paul Game ● 2596d

Getting this back on the Johnson theme. Assuming he's really heading for a "no deal" Brexit - given he's not come up with a Brexit solution that Ireland, and hence the EU, are unlikely to accept - I wonder how he feels about his possible legacy? Breaking the GFA and possible ending peace in Ireland, break up of the UK if Scotland leaves the UK (or Northern Ireland sees union with Eire as a more peaceful solution), likely tanking the UK economy, possibly civil unrest predicated by his civil servants (in the Yellowhammer report) ... not exactly the legacy of his hero Winston Churchill who spoke of a United States of Europe after the destruction and deaths in WWII ...
