The Daily Express. FFS.

So are we like the passengers on the Titanic, who not knowing the extent of the damage, or its ultimate consequences, prefer the seemingly strong and stable ship, to the risks of the lifeboats on the freezing open sea?

I imagine that the odious Rees-Mogg is drawing up plans to reinstate the East India Company as we speak.

Have you forgotten David lammy and Diane Abbott?.

Just as 'we' have to conform to local standards in all other export markets.

Therefore, ironically, if we take on some new export markets, we will actually be increasing the numbers of rules and regulations that our manufacturers have to conform to.
It's hilarious when you think back to the "leave" brigade wanting to get rid of EU bureaucracy

Have you recognised the "pup" that "we" were sold yet.

I suspect the bonfire of red tape will be so that the UK is able to import any old rubbish that was previously banned such as chlorinated chicken and meat full of antiobiotics and other stuff so that a fast buck can be made. That and shredding environmental rules so that companies can pollute the beaches, seas and watercourses. It'll happen to improve "competitiveness".

Not to mention the protection of workers rights, which many companies see as a barrier to greater profits; but hey, taking back control and all that jazz.

Can anyone remember an MP showing such blatant disregard & contempt for a PM than Johnson?
Strong & stable.

Not so publicly but Jezza certainly had a habit of ignoring the Labour whips when he was a backbencher.

Johnson is like real life Alan B'stard.

The way his latest episode is being reported is in stark contrast to the breathless allegations of AS levelled at Corbyn and the Labour party; R4 yesterday was full of commentators and presenters saying "gaffe/colourful language/should we be allowed to offend people etc etc." And the most hateful media trope of all - constantly referring to him as 'Boris,' regardless of context, as if he's some harmless, comedy character who shouldn't be taken seriously.

Make no mistake - this was an exercise in market research, following his meeting with Steve Bannon; the Tory base likes a bit of racism, so he's testing the water to see if it increases his stock for a leadership bid.
