The signature ‘dead cat’ manoeuvre
Boris Johnson (who had previously employed Crosby as his campaign manager during the 2008 and 2012 London mayoral elections) had once described the strategy like this: “There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.” |

Or it could be that he was simply pointing out that our "friends" intend to inflict pain on us for leaving the gang.

He's just got an elaborate turn of phrase and likes to use it. Once he leaves politics he'll do an awful lot of writing, that's my forecast.
I like it. They don't like the wiff waff up em! |

Whether the gov are bothered or not, he has put the issue of punishment in the public debate Europe wide. They may be more inclined to try and show that this is not the case, I can't see he has done any harm to us.

The thing is, people in the EU have been saying we SHOULD be punished to stop others leaving, he's not wrong.

The guy is a total tw@t -- This from the guy who came on the forum and said that the story about prince harry's girlfriend was all made up by the ruling classes to distract people from the plight of the poor and how badly the Tories were doing. |

As are most politicians, but at least he is an amusing accident prone tw@t.

Incredible quote from the goon Johnson
' .....people would appreciate the NHS more if they had to pay for it ....' ' It's as if Boris Johnson doesn't know that people already do pay for the National Health Service, in taxes and National Insurance. How on earth could Theresa May have concluded that this political charlatan was an appropriate choice as Foreign Secretary? The notion that this man should represent the 'Mother of Parliaments', the People and the Crown of Britain is an affront not just to each and every one of us as citizens, but to every single Foreign Dignitary forced to share a room with this buffoon. Boris has built his career on being a joke : well, it's time to stop laughing as the joke is on us, the British Public, because appointments like this put our nation on the shortlist for 'the laughing stock of the world'. Regardless of your political stripe, Left or Right, or your party preference, Labour, Lib Dem, SNP or UKIP, there is one thing on which we can surely all agree : The Conservatives are not fit to govern this nation of nations. They do not represent a majority of any of us. This farce needs to stop, now. ' |

Health Tourists don't. Illegal Immigrants and Vulnerable Teenage Pretendy Refugees don't. Poor old Ian Mohammed doesn't seem to realise that the law-abiding UK taxpayer has to subsidise the International Health Service, to be delivered in the preferred language of the visiting criminal/Health Tourist. Whether we like it or not. |

If more people had full time jobs and less people only offered part time work due to over supply then tax contributions would go up.
One person working 40 hours a week pays more tax than two people working 20 hours. Time to end the oversupply. |

"How on earth could Theresa May have concluded that this political charlatan was an appropriate choice as Foreign Secretary?"
That was my first thought.... and then I reckoned she knows him well so she must know what she is doing (?). It really is time even the tories realised this lying idiot may be entertaining, but is he fit to run anything (?). Although as a politician who is different and says what he wants to, I do like Boris.... but he is a nutter. And having a chump for foreign secretary....... |

Don't know, but I think the attitude of some eu spokespersons indicates they want to hurt us so I guess he is right.

how can they hurt us when brexit is such a great idea
ffs |

"Punishment beatings" was a totally inadequate analogy.
"Punishment beatings followed by solitary confinement" would have been more accurate. |

But that's what Brexiters voted for, to go it alone. they said they didn't want to be in the E.U. club they could get by without the single
market and rules and regulations emanating from Brussels.In or out they voted out. |

By:
And out it is, let them do their worst, only the feeble cave in before the bout has begun.

By:
Brexiters voted to be out of the EU, but with a view to negotiating a pragmatic and mutually more beneficial relationship with the remaining countries. If those remaining countries don't wish to engage with the UK (place us in solitary confinement, in other words), then that will be their problem, in view of their current trade surplus with the UK.
But don't imply that Brexiters have this sort of destructive, puerile attitude. Quite the opposite. It's only among the Eurocrats that you'll find that sort of insular, Fuehrerbunker mentality. |

By:
no negotiations have taken place yet
yet the brexiteers are already blaming the eu |

Blaming them for what, donny? The membership of that club are held together by fear of a financial beating. They threatened to hurt this country if we left and I full expect them to carry out their promise. Not sure what you man by blame tbh.

By:
No negotiations yet? You need to let the former Prime Minister of Belgium know that.
The European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator says the British Prime Minister has "unrealistic expectations". http://time.com/4637352/guy-verhofstadt-theresa-may-brexit-europe/ |
