It’s about immigration
England is in a position to exit eu
And then do an avalanche of deportations they got a channel
We need a wall then we can too

And yeah, I get that you are embarrassed for saying that about Ireland.

Johnson's three siblings also attended Oxford and have very good careers.

If you think Boris Johnson is some halfwit then I suggest you think again, because underneath all the friendly banter he is a ruthless politician, who was twice elected Mayor of London, a traditionally liberal city, and has gone from the backbenchers of Parliament to Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister.

Johnson was born in New York's Upper East Side, as his father Stanley having finished his degree at Oxford, was studying for a postgraduate degree at Columbia University in New York, although the fanily later returned to Britain where Stanley went on to do post doctoral research with the London School of Economics, before joining the World Bank and later the European Commission, it was during time in Brussels as a child that Johnson first learned French. Stanley Johnson is now well known writer.

I suggest you read a real news source if you don’t think he is attempting to renegotiate, yes Mays proposals never passed, so.

Really it isn't, its about FAR more than that, nobody is going to be 'deported' after Brexit.

So his a "well known writer" and he was the mayor of London.

Still, I suspect Putin could show him a thing or two about being a "ruthless politician."

From what I've read, some are already self-deporting.

For example, a number of those working in the banking industry are already gone.

Just to add some more facts you conveniently omitted:
1) switched political parties in Oxford because the one he originally joined to was less influential than other. Yeah, you never know who is stronger until you try, correct?
2) After graduating in 1987, Johnson became a trainee reporter with the Times newspaper but was sacked within a year for falsifying a quotation from his godfather Colin Lucas. Well, outright lying is a good trait for politician, no question about that.
3) BoJo did a number on London: He helped make it a haven of the super-rich, then ran a campaign saying "Don't listen to the super-rich in London." No surprises here, switching sides is not betrayal, it's foreseeing
4) Cocaine user: "Asked directly while being interviewed on Radio 4 when he last used the Class A drug, he replied by saying a "single inconclusive event" when he was a teenager". In another interview he said "I think the account of this event when I was 19 has appeared many, many times." Well, let's pretend that 19 is still a "teenager". And, frankly, cocaine use is not even an issue these days for politicians, right?
5) Lied about his affair with Petronella Wyatt and her pregnancy. Was fired from shadow cabinet for the lie. As I said, non-stop lies is a good property of a politician, and so native to any Brit PM.

As I said earlier, I just applaud BoJo - with him UK will go downhill faster. Keep the course, BoJo!

Johnson admitted "he doesn’t have the faintest clue what’s in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade—the very text he’s been using to justify his outlandish Brexit stance."

https://www.thedailybeast.com/john-o...=home?ref=home

Recently, he was carrying on about EU's kipper shipping rules. Turns out it's UK not the EU that's behind this nefarious situation.

Should be fascinating watching Johnson BS his way through Brexit.
