GreyWolf Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I quite like Boris, though I don’t think he’s prime minister material but he is good at stirring things up and speaking for a large silent majority. What’s next every comedian who’s a wee bit cutting edge gets investigated and arrested free speech must prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris's point was reasonable, but how he expressed it was undiplomatic. He knew it would cause a fuss, he's not inadvertently caused the kerfuffle because he would have done his usual crumpled and befuddled half-apology ("I'm sorry if anyone was offended...") outside his house. Fair enough he's exercised his right to free speech. But what people say is relevant to how effective they are in roles like Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, even MP.

The link above from SMUJ shows only too clearly that Boris got it exactly right. So in the next few weeks the tory faithful like Laura Perrins are going to crib the latest ECHR ruling on the burqa and pen all sorts of nonsense in his support to make The Maybot look weak. Oh joy!

Whatever the subject matter of the rest of the article is - burkhas, school uniform, dress down Fridays, Liverpool's new away kit - whoever wrote that paragraph sees the world in grotesque way that is fundamentally different to me.

Bannon isn't some sort of John The Baptist character and it would be a mistake to see him as an influencer - which is how he seems to often be represented. He's basically good at picking the likely winner as it approaches the finishing line. Or else he bets on the favourite. He seems to like "Tommy Robinson" too. But he has no business sticking his nose in European and UK domestic politics. In doing so he represents not the best interests of the the European countries or the UK. He represents only the Trump agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman1980 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I suspect that you will like Mr Bannon. Although I find his influence rather undemocratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
