Churchill anyone?
I'm not saying Boris is Churchill before anyone starts an argument but his career was littered with wrong decisions and a changed mind or two.
Or flush his career as seems more likely at this point
On another note had the radio on at work for the radio 4 news. Christine Lagarde gave her very serious warning..
"It could be from pretty bad to very very bad"
A colleague laughed and laughed. Sounded like a monty python skit to him.
When there laughing at you... you've lost them.

Boris, Cameron and Corbyn can all be argued to have changed their minds, and disagreeing with the first 2 would lead to hell on earth.... It's rubbish.
Mr. White, I agree, but the question is who's laughing? If it's floating voters, Remain's in deep trouble. If it's committed Leavers, it makes little difference (and may make Leave cocky and complacent).

Worst start to a season for quite some time.
On the scale of the lies told about Iraq, immigration, the banks, government debt and university tuition fees I doubt these are going to register very high.
I can never understand why Boris is given a free ride in the media, he is just a complete joke with pretty poor judgement. I don't think Johnson is fit to be PM, he would be a disaster once the novelty wore off. I don't think much of autistic Osborne either as a replacement for Cameron.
One person I do think looks right for the role as PM is the Chief Whip, Mark Harper. He would not be the first Chief Whip to get to No.10 either as Ted Heath was Chief Whip in the 1950s. But for Harper to become PM, it would mean Cameron staying on until 2019 as Harper would need a stint in a great office of state and the media exposure linked to such a role. Harper is obviously trusted as he is Chief Whip in a parliament where the Government has a slim majority, so we shall see.
I heard Cameron talking about the First Wold War and the Second World War and then saying the EU then stopped such things and that the UK LEAVING the EU would increase the risk of such things happening again.
For writing purposes, I had to look up what murder of one's wife was (Latin, rather than Greek) = uxoricide.
The Eurovision one should have been for this evening.
The Spanish, Bulgarian and even the French entries are surprisingly good this year.
But I think the top 4 will be Russia, Australia, Sweden and Ukraine although not necessarily in that order.
Betfair had the UK at 3.4 to finish 22nd or lower which looks a bit of value for a bottom 5 finish.
We're 3rd in the betting to finish last with Germany as favourites.
His great-grandfather was Ali Kemal. But his dad's surname is Johnson. How did Kemal morph into Johnson ?
Was being born on the wrong side of the blanket involved ? Probably not as it would have been a big deal in those days.
Boris for getting the exchange rate wrong ?
Osborne for borrowing £172bn more than he said he would ?
Cameron for lying about "paying down Britain's debts" ?
Or we could ignore them all and try to think for ourselves.
Brilliant news !
After Ali Kemal returned to Turkey in 1912, Stanley's father and aunt were brought up by their English grandmother Margaret Brun (née Johnson) and took her maiden name, Stanley's father becoming simply Wilfred Johnson. '

Y'all have to wait until then to officially discuss it.
It is the standard assumption most people have about most politicians.
Although I don't think which coal mines to be reopened was specified - the ones shut by Blair or the ones shut by Wilson.
And Mike Smithson is doing all he can to help that narrative along, along with weasel Freedland and fatty Soames.
OGH has nailed his remain credentials firmly to the greasy pole.
I've believe the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family did the same.
Edited for the purposes of mirth.
Who knew tales of sticking red hot pokers up people's bums would appeal to school children so much
I've realised with that story, and all those tales of the sexual appetites of the Romans & Greeks, no wonder my mind has been in the gutter since the age of 12.
For the next Tory leader,lay Johnson,back Gove and back Fox at 40-1.
I had that poll since 12.30pm the previous day.
They all ridiculed the idea so either the briefings were wrong, all the papers made it up, or he changed the speech because he was laughed at,
The Dardanelles offensive going mammary glands up on his watch had something to do with it.
We're getting an avalanche of EU related questions though.
Tut.

For A Polling Embargo

And His Red Shoes Were All A Go Go
Let's just make this clear once and for all Stark when it comes to EU matters you cannot be trusted on anything. You are fundamentally dishonest.
If he can't get his father or brother to back Leave, how's he going to persuade the country?
1. Saying I voted independent last election confused them cos of my being in the people's republic of bercow and so couldn't vote blue, red or orange.
2. Expect a surge to remain from tory voters.
3. Corbyn is very satisfactory but not ready to be PM.
4. Interesting Qs on Europe including Dave vs Boris quotes re European war risk and also how satisfied I am with QE2, Charles and William.
The Mail I presume???
I was impressed by Sadiq's Guardian interview - basically gave Jezza and Moamentum both barrels as far as winning, gaining power, changing stuff and not engineering "yet another heroic failure". Top hole. I am warming to the guy if he keeps this up for next couple of years (even though my money was on Tessa to be the candidate).
His mere presence on the Leave side seems to be enough to gain considerable support. Which is a good job because the majority of the time what he actually says and does is as likely to set us back as help.
1. All the papers are secretly in cahoots with leave.
2. The person doing the briefing made it up.
The Bullingdon story came out the moment he ran to be Tory Leader, if he was a member of the Piers Gaveston, that too would have come out pretty sharpish, not a decade later.
