He has been watching a rerun of his dad in Day of The Jackal and listening to that good story teller but bonkers politico Frederick Forsyth.

None ATM - Brexit Party mk 4 or 5 ?
If the Conservatives fail to give what Conservative voters want-ed then they may well look for an alternative. I doubt most can stomach Labour, Green or Liberal.
I think Boris got in on the Brexit deal and I reckon a lot of his voters are waiting to see if he get's that done or not before making further judgement. I think he's seen as weak over COVID and libertarians are not happy with the 'emergency' laws coming through. That said, there are some good things happening in the Civil service / BBC etc.

Hardly old boy. Timed his run perfectly as the BBC becomes a right wing version and wing of the Tory Party machine under the new CEO. He will fit in perfectly after the ethnic cleansing of the luvvies.
I hope you are right.

Boris knows that there is well over four million unemployed now already.
Most on furlough are only being paid unemployment benefit via subcontractors to the DHSS or whatever its called nowadays.
All the Covid 19 fog is just a cover, until the sh!t caused by it (the realisation by many many companies that their workforces are far in excess of requirements) hits the fan... Which can't happen until the new year.
Boris knows that getting Brexit done ensures a future for the Tory party and his self.
Covid 19 is a convenient diversion and time killer.

I think there is a good deal of truth in that.

Bozza has just started to realise he has to have a trade deal with the EU at whatever cost. Just a matter of how you sell it to the British public as a great victory with lots of future benefits.
Or the EU have just realised they cant steamroller us as they did when may was in charge.Bozza has just started to realise he has to have a trade deal with the EU at whatever cost. Just a matter of how you sell it to the British public as a great victory with lots of future benefits.
Both sides will have to make compromises to get a deal , any deal or decision the EU is ever involved in doesn't get done until the last day, the signs are there, Barnier is the problem, for both sides, he is the one who will lose face when Merkel makes him give some ground, of course macron is on his side over fishing and they have backed themselves into a corner,

The EU moved on long ago regarding Brexit, basically as soon as the WA was signed off, that's why they are somewhat annoyed at Bozza reneging on it. In their eyes a trade deal is just a nice to have item, simplifying to a small extent the massive amount of paperwork and controls that are now going to be generated and helping the situation in Ireland.

Sometimes, I am almost convinced you believe what you write about the EU.
This seems to cover things as they are now, May caused all sorts of damage to the prospect of a deal, whether it was deliberate or not, who knows.
All the chatter seems to be that a lot of Countries are against Macron's stubbornness on the fishing problem as most of them have nothing to gain from it and are getting twitchy.
Barnier revels in his reputation as a hard bargainer but is said to be getting leaned on by Germany, especially as their car industry stands to lose out massively.
Ashtree will no doubt be along soon to dismiss this with his usual sarcastic gloating.

A trade deal has nothing to do with the upcoming, unemployment sh!t storm caused by C19, both through the realisation that many employed have been surplus to requirement and the loss of many other non jobs, which do nothing to bring coin into the UK, but are rather just wealth sharing, charity jobbies.Bozza has just started to realise he has to have a trade deal with the EU at whatever cost.

Eighty per cent of the UK gdp comes from the service sector, shuffling money about in non jobs. We may not wish to value their importance but unfortunately in a first world economy they are.

Its only faux employment to massage the unemployment numbers down. Same as Blairs University students.
Might as well be honest and pay everybody a universal income and just let those who want to work or have something to give get on with it for extra bunces.

I would have agreed Charles Moore would make a good boss at the BBC, however there are plenty of right wingers who are only interested in votes and there are far more votes in animal welfare, rights of access, and any number of issues you and I would be unaminous on

Sounds a bit to much of a socialist solution for my likening. I expect people to work for their money, even if it's ultimately pointless work.
