KopTalk.com Forums Boris Johnson and letter boxes

It shows you how far the tories have fallen when this embarrassment is favourite to be their next leader.

One of the main players in the Brexit campaign, he then abandoned ship when reality hit home.

Now reduced to colluding with the loony racist Steve Bannon.

Boris is a real class act.

As is normal no point to be made just a lashing out rant. Not defending Boris I agree he comes out with stupid things but if he is elected PM he wont care what you think. The name of the game is not to be popular with everyone but be popular with the majority. That's Boris plan whether he gets there remains to be seen. Personally I would prefer a politician that speaks their mind even if I disagree with what they see than the mindless clones we get in British politics that never say the wrong thing but never say anything worth listening to.

By speaking his mind do you mean being openly racist?

I can see how that would appeal to you.

Is it racist to not agree with burkas ? In which case I guess I am racist and so is most of the EU because burkas are banned there. Looking forward to hearing about your burka promotion for the ladies of Derry I am sure they will be thrilled

Nothing wrong with opposing burkas, but of course it is all in the wording.

The fact that he has been ordered to apologise by the PM tells you how suitable his remarks were.

Boris of course has previous in this area. I suppose he has to do something to get back in the news now that he has given up on Brexit.

The wording was not PC no but that was quite deliberate Boris is in the news and many agree with him even sky news which is very left wing had a poll saying being critical of burkas is not racist probably not the result Sky wanted but there we are. As for brexit as always it's right over your head. Many are dissatisfied with Mays soft brexit Boris is probably planning for this to get agreement with the EU and then many feeling May has sold out. Boris is right in line to fix it then. What you forget is this is politics it's a game and a dirty game as well. I would not like to do it I do know a couple of MP,s their ratings and positioning is all they think about and it's perception that matters. Boris will calculate he might upset a few but the majority will be silently agreeing

Jaysus even for a brexiteer that is a fantastical tale. Boris is going to fix Brexit. Behave yourself.

Boris looks out for Boris and once he realised Brexit was a busted flush he abandoned ship.

He has been ordered to apologise by his own PM. At a time when labour our being held to account over alleged anti-semitism, Boris has diverted attention to the tories islamaphobia. As usual it's always about Boris.

It is no coincidence that this occurs after meetings with the racist Bannon.

Being made to apologise by May is no big deal its no secret once brexit is delivered May will stand down. Even if he does apologise he has achieved the objective. By fixing brexit I mean appealing to the voters who feel betrayed by May of which there are many. He will probably stand on an election of britain forging ahead post brexit etc. That may or may not work but its clear where he is heading although maybe not everyone has worked it out. As for the american guy I dont know much about him but if he is the chap who helped get trump elected maybe he has something to say. Trump lets not forget got elected. Feel free to hurl insults about me liking trump blah blah blah why not try to read into what I am saying. Go on for once think give it a go. To help you I am not praising trump or johnson just saying I can see his strategy all over the west (including europe) the people are rejecting robotic establishment wonks. Like him or hate him Johnson is not one of them

I think we can all agree that this evidence proves beyond any doubt that Boris is not a racist.

Boris never wanted Brexit. He was singing the praises of the EU only the year before the vote so what changed?

He saw his chance to take over after the referendum was announced. He knew tht whatever happened Cameron was doomed. Win the vote and the Euro skeptics would have been up in arms. If he lost then Boris was waiting to take over once Cameron couldn't deliver Brexit (just like he is now) but Cameron shat all over that plan by quitting.

As for being leader? I don't think the majority of Torries are stupid enough to back him. He'd never win a general election as he's just about the most unlikable politician there is.If he is Torrie leader then they have just handed the keys of No. 10 to Red Jezza and I don't think they're that stupid.
