There is clearly a mass media assault on Boris, but who is behind it and what's the reason :hmm: All this happened months ago, so why the drip feed now ?
Maybe it's the Chinese, Labour Party, a disgruntled civil service, Remainers, EU, BBC, Soros. Who took the photos ? This whole attempted 'coup' needs investigating, more than the so called parties do.

Or maybe the bloke who had to drive to Barnard Castle to check his eyesight during the first lockdown one Dominic Cummings dishing the dirt in revenge for their parting?
The actual offences are trivial but commiting them having been responsible for the regulations and then lying to try to cover them up is not the way I'd expect a PM to behave.
I think you added that prat Adonis while I was typoing :smiley:
Brexit is a done deal. Any replacement PM trying to reverse it would be comitting political suicide IMO.
I dunno klondike the "Rejoiners" are massing as we speak. :grin:
Sorry I should have put this in Politics :nooo:
I'd expect some final push cos they've not gone away and are still convinced that they're right..
The Battle of the Bulge only hastened the end of WW2....
I've heard of the Battle of the Bulge but tbh don't know much about it. Boris could do with some reinforcements, but he's surrounded himself with the wrong people (or so I've read) !

Most of them are the wrong people, if parliament was full of ordinary people like us, no problems, we would get it right and guide Boris in the right direction.

You don't watch enough of The Hitler Channel (aka Yesterday) then. Surprise last ditch offensive as the Allies were on the advance towards the Fatherland. Ultimately achieved nothing and lost him a lot of equipment and battle seasoned troops.
The Remainers have plenty of battle seasoned (or should that be scarred?) troops but none capable of getting the country to accept rejoining IMO.
Sorry. Has to be done...

Very briefly as we and our Allies were fighting our way across Europe after the D Day landings and heading towards Germany in secret the Nazi's gathered as many Panzers ( Tanks ) and armour as they could and advanced through the Arden Forests which was thought impossible to do and attacked the Americans front line.
The Americans managed to hold them and route them the Nazi's Tanks were destroyed, if they had broken the Americans lines their Tanks would have wreaked havoc and the war would have lasted much longer , the Nazi's losing the Battle of the Bulge shortened the war we rolled into Berlin as did the Russians

I agree if any Government tried to drag us back into the EU I think serious civil unrest would break out, personally I think the days of the EU are numbered.

It needs taken apart and putting back together properly. Either that or taken apart and binned.
No need for any taking apart. Like all empires it will just decay and fall to pieces of its own accord.

I think so as well, resentment of the EU is growing right across the EU
Its a sad reflection on the Conservative party that the only reason not to oust Johnson is the fear of what might replace him. Truss, Sunak, Hunt - all avid Remainers. With the slimy Gove practising his black machiavellian rituals in the shadows not a pleasant scenario to countenance.
They would then usher in the return of the 'May groupies' Gauke and Co to help them lubricate closer EU ties with the long term aim restoration of full UK membership.
Perhaps the fear of losing her beloved and highly costly wallpaper will smack the increasingly precocious Mrs Johnson into keeping her Woke mouth shut.
If Starmer ever got in - god help the UK. Johnson needs a damn good going over by the Press and Electorate post their likely coming disaster in the May local elections.
Suitably chastened, perhaps he'll then scrub the Generation 'X' Hurray Henry's and Henrietta's from the smuckpit that Downing Street has become, via it's alcoholic Wineday Fridays and regroup.
Be interesting to hear members feeling about Boris and partygate. My view is the rules were made to keep us all as safe as possible from covid, and we had to make our own minds up if we obeyed them or not. Boris it seems very much like many of us broke rules. At the moment Boris would still get my vote, and I feel he will do his up most best to level up UK. One more member has put in his letter in, but he happened to be a member from the front to the back bench by Boris. One more revenge vote I feel. Boris I believe is the best we have got and hope rides out the storm.
A witch hunt imo. I mean FGS, Boris was in Ukraine yesterday to meet their PM but at the press conference, the first question posed to him by a BBC journalist was not about the perceived Russian threat, but about 'partygate'
Forget embarrassing Boris, how does that make UK look on the international stage ?
Boris is a very strong leader and the best the press and others can do to get rid of him is partygate. He has made fools of the rest of the EU and he could not care a dam of the press, and the BBC for that matter. International stage people that matter, will not be interested in partygate.
Sorry Hugh I don't agree he's a "strong leader" The Russian press made much of his wife wearing the trousers ! :grin: :grin:
Strong not the right word Alex, but things some how got done under him. The question is who will replace him :?: :?: :?:
