They are going to nobble Boris

Who are you talking about?

His "You didn't know whether it was a paragraph or an article" reposte was superb.

I think it’s fair to say this is straw clutching.....

A BBC commentator on the 6 PM news last night, whilst talking about the US Ambassador problem referred to him as Sir Boris. Do you think he knows something? lol

The "paragraph or article" line is a great example of style over substance. Johnson has based his campaign on the GATT thing for some weeks, and when pushed on it he reveals that he doesn't know what it involves (this is the man who'll be leading the country), and that glib a-ha! line is the equivalent of someone on here picking on a grammar typo. That people are buying it is a sad indictment that the UK is going down the US road of buying into a charismatic but vacuous leader.

And before any silly BBC Remain comments are made, Andrew Neill is far more committed to Brexit than Johnson has ever or will ever be.

"Charismatic"? I don't get it myself.

Neither of them are my cup of tea, but they are charismatic. May, for example, isn't

Neither of them are my cup of tea, but they are charismatic. May, for example, isn't

1. A compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.
2. A charismatic person attracts, influences, and inspires people by their personal qualities.
3. The powerful personal quality that some people have to attract and impress other people

Boris Johnson was heckled at a Tory hustings within the past week with being told to answer the question. He's losing creditability each time he appears before an audience, especially where there is an interviewer who doesn't allow him to escape difficult questions with a non-relevant reference to ancient history.

Not sure anyone would ever try to say Hunt or May have charisma.
