Good to see BJ's lies retracted. IPSO doing its job.

The Daily Telegraph has been forced to correct a column by Boris Johnson after the Brexiter MP and potential Tory leadership candidate falsely claimed a no-deal Brexit was the most popular option among the British public.

Now, now... where's your skepticism, people?


Are you sure that's not the same bus?

I think it is the same bus.

They painted it red in 2016 to draw in Labour voters. This time they gone blue to grab those Tory defectors.
Or it's just random colour choices. :scratch:


It's not actually the same bus. This is open top and the infamous £350m bus was enclosed. This could be the Leave means Leave bus that Nigel abandoned the long trek in.

I'm sure the Brexit millionaire elite can afford a few buses.

Mind you, those two pictures are of opposite sides. The red seats with yellow rails and the back wheels look the same.
Windows and doors very similar but hard to be sure from these viewpoints.
Also the upper handrails and "windscreen" look the same.

Here's a closer to matching angle.

Never mind the colour, look at those "arrows" (toppled houses)
The one on the front is pointing in the direction of a left turn and the one on the side is pointing backwards. What does that mean?

The arrow on the port side is pointing forwards to help complete a loop.

round and round...
...
and we'll get nowhere."

I haven't really followed the formation of the Brexit Party.

Wouldn't it be better considered the One Trick Pony Party?

Mr. Farage (rhymes with, 'garage') thinks UKIP has gone too far to the right whilst forgetting his own past:

The whole circus begins again. Nothing happening again until the last weeks; exactly what the EU feared. The Brexiteers happily avoiding tax for the next six months while the mess in the UK carries on.

Given the circumstances, nobody could predict, it seems to me more time was necessary. I mean, whether we like it or not, its the reality and from where I sit it's.. orderly. That is the word, right? That is what the UK seem to like .. orderly. Alright.
