No Morals

[maggiebee]

Has this man no moral compass - what an insult to the Ukranians.

Well at last Boris has proved himself a First Class Idiot

[Khandro]

Does anyone really give toss about what Messrs Tusk & Verhofstadt think? They hate Boris & hate the UK for getting out of their sinking ship. We had to listen to them venting their spleen throughout the Brexit process, thank heavens no longer.

[davebro]

er - I think we always knew that gully. There is no barrier to high office in the UK! Equality innit.

[ichkeria]

If he’d pointed out that we are free to hold referendums (fair ones!) to decide our future then fair enough although if I was him I’d have steered clear of Brexit altogether.
What he’s done though is compare the actual decision of the referendum when he must know that millions here don’t agree!

“ When the British people voted for Brexit in such large, large numbers, I don't believe it was because they were remotely hostile to foreigners.
"It's because they wanted to be free to do things differently and for this country to be able to run itself."
So comparing that with the “Ukrainians’ desire to choose freedom” is bound to be contentious.

That’s all, and it’s my last word on the matter as I prefer to support the PM in general

[jim360]

I agree with Ichkeria. It's distasteful and crass, but also an unhelpful distraction -- we need to be united in opposition to the Ukrainian Invasion, and there was at the very least no need to cite this specific example. Especially given that the Ukrainians want to join the EU, which also makes the comparison look at best a bit silly.

[gulliver1]

Someone tell Boris .
It's better to remain silent and let the Whole Country think you are a Fool , than to open ones Mouth and Prove it.

[davebro]

not gonna happen gully

[davebro]

he is the soul of indiscretion!

[gulliver1]

I find it hard to believe that Boris can compare Ukraine to Brexit . Should Boris get a medal for Bravery after leading the UK Through Brexit. ??

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[naomi24]

Is he an idiot for imposing sanctions against Russia, Gulliver? For standing at for forefront on the world stage in his opposition to their invasion of Ukraine and in effect, on a point of moral principle, putting his own country at risk? As for your post at 11:43 Sun, coming from you that has to be a joke.

Ich, I'm truly amazed at your inability to understand this. I can only think that like other Remainers here, with a brain still stuck in the confines of the EU, you find it impossible to understand a wider picture.

Douglas, you're in danger of turning in to Anneasquith. She has a cowardly habit of punching people in the back and running away.

[maggiebee]

Naomi, are you going for a record? Trying to see just how many insults you can dish out in one post? Methinks the lady doth protest too much. My flabber has never been so ghasted!

[douglas9401]

I apologise naomi, in future I'll go for the nose and stand my ground.

Off to lick my wounds now, sorry you had to give up your day off to try defending the Greatest Living Disaster.

[sandra4444]

I do worry, of what Putin doesn't worry about, of what he's up against.

[naomi24]

Maggiebee, no records. Just pointing out your hypocrisy.

Douglas, what you do is your choice.

[gulliver1]

Bet Dominic Cummings is laughing his socks off at Boris's latest gaffe.

[Ken4155]

So he's lauding the resolve of the 17,410,742 who voted Brexit and those Ukrainians who have stood to fight the Russians and defend their country to the death. Does that mean, then, that the PM believes the 16,141,241 who voted Remain and those who have fled their war-torn country in terror do not possess resolve?
See just how stupid his analogy is?

[gulliver1]

Naomi ,think you should get yourself off to Church,
and Say one.

[anneasquith]

Naomi. What is wrong with you ? Twice you have named me on this thread. I’m not interested in it now.
Go find someone who cares what your opinion is, it’s not me .

[jim360]

Incidentally, it's nothing to do with where you stood in the referendum:
