OPEN BORDERS Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 11, 2017 Lots of talk in the press recently about JRM becoming next leader of the Conservative Party. He certainly is a character. He could even become our next Prime Minister ! Could he be the saving grace for the Tories ? The Eton schoolboy v Citizen Corbyn. What do people make of JRM then ?

I1L2T3   10 #2 Posted July 11, 2017 Please sign him up as Tory leader right now. That's what I think.  The first time he has to argue with his 19th century accent as PM for a 1% cap on public servants it's game over for the Tories  Sign him up now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest sibon   #3 Posted July 11, 2017 As a Labour voter, I'm a massive fan of JRM.  He's a meme writers dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mossdog   10 #4 Posted July 11, 2017 ......I saw him on "Question Time" last Thursday.He was the only one with any coherent sensible conversational argument the rest came quite poor I thought.He is very measured and highly intelligent,as to whether these attributes would make him a good leader we shall have to wait and see!

tinfoilhat   11 #5 Posted July 11, 2017 It's like Tory high command have got round a table and someone has said "nah, even at full Boris, Boris isn't as divisive enough or posh enough or weird enough. Who else have we got, remember we've got the most important negotiation in generations to **** up, so we need someone who makes Donald trump look like a rational choice. I know......"  It's beyond parody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tzijlstra   11 #6 Posted July 11, 2017 He'd be my dream leader for the Tories, anybody with half a brain knows within 3 sentences the man is a balloon with a posh accent, those without will think he is a pompous balloon.

Mister M   1,625 #7 Posted July 11, 2017 Conservative Home have published the results of their survey of Tories on the important question of who should succeed Mrs May as Conservative leader. 71% of Tory activists took part. Here are the results:  Damian Green - bottom Sajid Javid Amber Rudd Philip Hammond Priti Patel Boris Johnson David Davis None of the above - Winner! http://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2017/07/next-tory-leader-davis-leads-our-survey-but-is-outscored-by-none-of-the-above.html  Looking at that list, I'm not surprised that 'None of the Above' won. Even amongst Tory activists, nobody seemed more appetising than the others! I think Moggy would poll between Damian Green and Sajid Javid ....................

Lord Rex   10 #8 Posted July 11, 2017 ......I saw him on "Question Time" last Thursday.He was the only one with any coherent sensible conversational argument the rest came quite poor I thought.He is very measured and highly intelligent,as to whether these attributes would make him a good leader we shall have to wait and see! I mentioned on the Brexit thread how impressive he was on Question Time. He was strong on every topic and wiped the floor with the other guests. I think he would make a good leader,but there is no vacancy at the moment. It goes without saying the peasants in these parts will mock him, but they know no better.

Mister M   1,625 #12 Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) he hasn't got a 19th century accent . just because he is rich, highly educated and more intelligent than Anyone in the Labour party it appears he is a target for the envious  Don't judge others as being motivated envy. Just because you are, doesn't mean to say others are. Worth saying that because someone is rich and highly educated, doesn't make them anymore intelligent than anyone else. If you're going to mock others as not being as intelligent as JRM, then you should at least use standard punctuation.
