I'm just laughing at the bit that suggests it could be embarrassing for Johnson. The man has almost no moral compass. Like Trump he'll just bullshit his way through and everyone will forget about it. My previous comments about drowning kittens apply... |

FR, that is absolutely right. I think the media have really still nowhere near got around to understanding that we are at a point, unprecedented in our political history, where we have a Prime Minister and a whole load of Cabinet ministers who will lie, openly and brazenly, at the drop of a hat, without even caring whether they are found out in the lie, because it doesn't matter. We've had politicians lying in the past, of course, but they've always tried to make their lies plausible because there have been consequences for deceit. Not any more.

To be fair, we've also never before had a media that is less interested in exposing the lies.

Why does he look soooo soooo much like Trump? twitter.com There is an up side in it. The mandate has been discharged. The will of the people has been honoured. From 31st January, we can campaign to rejoin. No second referendum, or bullshit like that. Simple rejoin. Accept Schengen. Accept the euro. Vote for a party that will deliver it. And we will rejoin one day. |

Psychologically, things will change now. The Leave side have been clamouring to 'win', at all costs, for the last 4 years. So now they've won, that energy will go out of things. Increasingly I think we will find Leavers starting to complain instead about how things are working out. They won't admit it's their fault, but the appeal of Brexit will be severely dulled for them nonetheless.

I don't think a campaign to rejoin will gain much ground until at least the end of the transition period - people won't have noticed any change because we'll still be getting the most obvious benefits of membership, while the government's message will surely be 'look, we've left and everything's fine!' and anyone pointing out that we haven't really left yet will be ignored or dismissed as just another remoaner trying to undermine the great success of Brexit.
