Johnson PM is live all media
at the G7



Both the BBC and SkyNewsHD
asked will he call a Election
if Parliament try's to extend his date,
he refused to answer.
He still thinks he can do a deal with the EU?


https://news.sky.com/story/live-pm-b...s-end-11794529


He is a over a Hour late
as Trump went on so long

I've seen nothing that convinces me that our PM is really acting in the whole Nation's interests.

We are on a very worrying and dangerous slope towards a no deal exit.
Which frankly Johnson seems, with his own self appointed hard-line Cabinet, to lead us to.

I doubt strongly that all who voted to leave, supported any notion of a no deal brexit.
The majority would have definitely.

This is a major worry and the USA likely deals has me very uncomfortable.
Anyone who believes the NHS will not be drawn into the powerful drug companies and other USA trade elements, are fooling themselves.

As for Johnson.
He has gone from his expectancy of no deal being a million to one chance, to any deal with the EU being touch and go
Then on heading home, to saying a bit more optimistic of a deal.

You cannot trust a thing he says.
What a yoke around the UKs neck has been placed on the UK, with this disaster of a PM by the Conservative membership and Party.

If I were him, I wouldn't be fooled by the opinion polls either.
Act on them at his own peril.

And if they are former diplomats, where are they getting thier info from?

That sounds pretty dangerous if these former diplomats are still somehow conected, so how do they keep those connections? Could it be all the free banquets they attend or something like that??

many former diplomats are kept in the loop because they have history and contacts, that's how the system works. They will often know as much if not more than current diplomats

Well they'll be aware of where we were in the contingency planning for no deal as of a few weeks ago... I highly doubt seeing as bojo was bumbling around Europe trying to get them to ditch the backstop and not much else that no deal planning has evolved beyond then.

They worked as ambassadors, one even for Thatcher, so I'd guess they wouldn't be using specific news sources like normal people, to get their news.

You're so consumed with the belief that you feel people are only doing this because it might stops a few parties for them (one of those people hasn't been in these circles for nearly 20 years), but you can't even see the people that provably lied to the nation, are the people with the most to gain by brexit - especially a no-deal. JRM for example, his company is hiding it's accounts in the caymans to avoid paying tax on over Ł100m, he begged a government grant of just under Ł7m to renovate his ancestral home at the same time he was voting for a bedroom tax on poor people.

Eu are in the process of legislating tax haven profits back into taxable contributions, but yet you honestly believe, rich folks missing out on the odd jolly (when they can afford them anyway) makes them more corruptible than rich guys trying to avoid paying any tax.

Genuinely have no idea what you're on about. If you genuinely believe me to be a multi, ask Cherie (who I know you trust) about that.

I didn't attack you (again). I pointed you towards facts, and you believe them to be a personal attack. Pretty much sums up how we've ended up where we are.
