But this is the most bizarre appointment ever.  Mind you he is good at selling prime real estate to rich foreigners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Can you trust him with the Nation's secrets?  Whiff waff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ECCOnoob   1,043 #11 Posted July 13, 2016 Well, he campaigned for Leave and now he can have a part of delivering it. Seems fair to me..  For all I dont like the man I think you are spot on.  I also think that Mrs May has made a very very shrewd move.  Before she even got the keys to No10 she was heavilly criticised and insulted by the brexiteers and old skool Tories for not being the right person to implement Article 50, then there was all the Hullabaloo about a remainer getting the job in the first place, particuarly after the referendum result.  Boris is an Etonian elite which will please the back bench tory old farts plus he was the gob of the leave campaign which should please the more extreme elements of the outers.  Seems a very well thought out and well delivered addition to the cabinet and just the sort of decision someone as smart and level headed as May would do.

blake   10 #12 Posted July 13, 2016 I heard the original idea was to make him the Governor of Bermuda, where you get to wear a very silly hat, but Boris refused, and so they came up with this temporary compromise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
