The fact that you’ve stood against the tide of criticism on almost every page of this thread over the past few weeks must be totally in my head, my bad I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only really 2 options here , admit you made a mistake or go post the evidence .. eithers fine with me ( I post a lot so can’t remember everything I’ve said , but you clearly can as you used the line that I continue to defend him ) then we can discuss further , until that point I guess our interactions are done really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 In this story about more feuding in Downing Street, this passage caught my eye. Quote Crowley was research director and then political director of Johnson’s London mayoral election campaigns in 2008 and 2012. He wrote Victory in London about Johnson’s political rise, which at one point describes how at “particularly stressful moments” the future prime minister would disappear and hide behind a giant coffin in a prop store.

I imagine Boris as a Sergeant Barnes (of the film Platoon) type character, after he’s killed off the liberal element of the squad (Elias) he claims he is reality to the remaining platoon members. In fact, the parallels with that film and this entire situation are highly prevalent. We must not let Barnes win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
