While I know that you've had a long thread about Brexit but I can't manage to concentrate enough on long reads so I wasn't able to follow. All I can do is wish you and your fellow countrymen luck in being able to break away from the EU. Boris seems a bit odd at times but it seems that he's wanting to do it right. Am I correct?
Boris makes people laugh - those who don't think he is the devil that is.
Can't call this election - no-one can. For all sorts and complicated reasons it could go either way or straight down the middle. Loads of fraud happening on the Labour side too.
We vote on the 12th Dec and shall know the result on Friday the 13th, until then ----
Yes Boris is a Brexiteer - but there are powerful forces against him and us.
It seems to be global forces at work in all sorts of places. Hopefully Boris will be able to get enough help from the people to get past them.
That's what's happening with Trump. He's up against a lot of powerful forces both from here and abroad that are trying to take him down because they want to continue their corruption and control of everybody. He loves a good fight and seems to be holding his own so far so I hope he can get enough help from the people too. Heaven knows he does put on some hellacious rallies.
It is not quite so straight forward here and Boris, though a personality, is not seen as a strong pair of shoulders BUT he has a gift for delegating to the right people.
The strongest Leave vote came from Labour Party voters - Labour has let them down via multiculturalism and being a Remain party - but can the old Labour strongholds bring themselves to vote Tory? Farage is also standing candidates in marginal seats so by default ( split votes) Labour could win them. Many Tory areas voted Remain so could they go over to the LibDems?
Plus Blair changed the borders, way back when, in favour of Labour. Labour are promising freebies for every one btw. Labour always bankrupt us - then the Tories are hated for making tough cuts to get us back a decent economy - Tories ave been in for 9 yrs now and things ave been tough. Kids don't remember the strikes in the 70s,( nothing worked and there was rubbish everywhere, bodies not being buried, cold with no heating etc) when we had a very left wing Labour gov - they will vote in their millions for Jeremy - Uni students will vote twice ( at Uni and at home). The Muslim vote ( often fraudulently) will be Labour.
Boris will, despite all that) get the votes but who will get the seats is another matter -
Sounds like our country with a British accent.
The BBC and Channel 4 are public services which are bound to impartiality - neither are, outrageously not, but last night Channel 4 went way way way ott
They had invited all party leaders to a debate on climate change ( yawn) - Farage said 'no way am I walking into that Lions den' and Boris sent a senior minister, Michael Gove. Gove was refused entrance and where the two leaders, Farage and Boris, would have stood - the channel placed two melting, replica, ice mountains with Conservative and Brexit Party, respectively, written at the bottom- they dripped all through the discussion.
They have been reported to Ofcom the regulating body - but we are not holding our breath. Recently one of their very boring old reporters said, of a protest, ''I have never seen so many white people in one place'' - - ridiculous since he is older than me and perfectly remembers England being only 'white' but his meaning, by his remark, was that all Leave voters are racist = nothing happened to him.
Unlike the US, immigration of black and brown skinned people ( apart from around the docks) has only happened here in the last 50 yrs and yet, though many of our ancestors have been here since the ice ages, we are suffering the same attacks as you are over our perceived racism - another difference is that people are sent to prison for it here. Not when it is against us though.

It's interesting that our people originally split from y'all to be 'free' yet the move is on to have us all joined back together again...not free.
'They' want us to all be alike in every way but we all want to maintain our differences in a friendly way. This was something that Mao Tse-tung tried to achieve during his reign and it wasn't pleasant for the people. It didn't succeed for long then and hopefully it won't here now.
