I don't think MPs are laying blame on him, they know it's an ongoing problem, they're (quite understandably) scared and asking him to tone down the extremist rhetoric in case it sets off someone unstable. Which quite frankly is a completely reasonable expectation of ANY politician, let alone the Prime Minister but hey its 2019 so "blrrrr humbug" I guess.

as you well know, it takes 2 sides to make an argument. It's like little kids goading someone until they lose their temper and then say got ya. For labour to act all innocent is a joke, and they know it.

I thought the opposite. THEY were lashing out at him and he didn't show any temper. He was just the usual bouncy, blunt him. After all the knocks he has taken, deserved or otherwise, he just keeps on keeping on. I want whatever he's on.

We all do. "What he's on" is "an international bank balance big enough to not have to worry about it".

But I disagree that he's not bothered, the one thing he does have to lose is his ego and I think he's furious that he doesn't seem to be able to just lob his weight around like a mini Trump. He seems the same as ever because "bouncy Boris" is an act he's been honing since his teens. There's a documentary about his school days / early career around somewhere... it's fascinating. But yeah, his Boris persona (it's not even his real name) is attached to his face with Flex Tape. It's going nowhere and you can't trust that his demeanor reflects his thoughts 99% of the time. When it does slip, there are glimpses of the frustration of an arrogant man who isn't quite getting the world to mould around him.

Could be - he has never really been on my radar until he was forced upon us all.
My point was, the opposition were lashing into him and he didn't lose his temper, whether by design or a natural ability.

In an interview he said "I was sitting opposite people who were shouting all sorts of things at me all afternoon that were far harsher".
I think his words are being deliberately misinterpreted and being milked for all they are worth by the opposition to whip up emotionally charged feelings and THAT is far more dangerous that anything he has actually said.

That's not the point; the city that rejects the Murdoch press is against leave, whereas the one that doesn't, wants to leave. Shows the devastating ability of the press to feed lies and propaganda into the public consciousness.
