I think he stopped writing for The Telegraph when he was given the role of Foreign Secretary by Theresa May.  That is what I thought.  It's good that he thought both about the pros and cons of Brexit. However, writing two contrary articles is not the same and that is why many people think he might not really believe in Brexit but ran with it for opportunistic reasons. I doubt you will ever convince them otherwise.

However, I don't really care if he chose to support Brexit for opportunistic reasons because it was better for him to be on our side (Leave) than the other side due to the big support he receives. All what matters is that Leave won. It can be argued that Theresa May sat on the fence during the EU referendum campaign for opportunistic reasons. At the end of the day Boris only became Prime Minister due to Parliament blocking Brexit during Theresa May's time as Prime Minister.  The point is, other people do.

Only because the "electorate" are so far up BoJo the Clown's bum it's not funny!    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There's much sleight of hand going on here. For many people the super large figures etc are too large to fully comprehend and they're scarey. But when you break it down into percentages and compare with other percentages a different story emerges. You have to ask yourself why the government wish to keep up the narrative, and suppress alternative points of view.  The problem in India has been it's lack of a cohesive health system.
