Tusk has done wonders for the leave without a deal campaign. Great news.

Every sympathy for Tusk particularly in dealing with us.

The withdrawal agreement signed in December was probably only done with the British PMs personal assurance to Tusk that this would be passed by the UK parliament.

Tusk is terrific, at last someone can say it like it is.

No surprise really then that you appreciate a conservative, free marketeer.

Precisely. He sees the total incompetence, in fighting and self serving nature of our political elite culminate in the shambles we have today and its no wonder he's angry.

Boris johnson compared the EU to nazis and Jeremy hunt compared them to the ussr and now suddenly people are going batsh*t about this.

I think they are pretty fair comparisons as compared to insults. Juncker seems fine defending Marx and the Nazi's and the USSR didn't exactly respect other peoples borders. Totalitarian seems to be the operative word. They all want access to other peoples money and restrict free speech (and freedom in general).

I must be up there with the most anti EU guys on Hol....But personally I don't know what all the fuss is about.....it's like the 'stupid woman' stuff recently.

Still, if you were one of those who criticised Johnson for Nazis and Hunt (that creep) for the 'USSR' then really to be consistent you'd have to criticise Tusk for this stuff.

But to be honest.....It's politicians saying what they really think and I prefer them and respect them more when they are honest about how they feel rather than be disingenuous liars.

Just my personal take.

I rather liked Jacob Rees-Mogg's retort to the Tusk outburst :

"Mr Tusk is hardly in the Aquinas class as a theologian and he seems to have forgotten the commandment about not bearing false witness".

Hmm. Not saying that off the cuff though is he. There must be a logic for saying it now.

I can't imagine it's to encourage the Peoples' Vote so maybe it is correct that he is getting the excuses in first

Mind you, it's quite true. We blame Blair for going into Iraq with no plan for the peace, yet the usual suspects went ahead with this project without any apparent detailed thought. Surely they knew how complex and messy it would become yet they didn't have even the slightest plan and in fact won't get what they said they were after.

Unless they have all spoofed us. I can imagine Boris always wanted a 'soft' Brexit but saying it wouldn't suit his ambitions.

Yeah

Always knew he was a man of the people, really spoke to the masses there.

Jacob is a pillar of linguistic rectitude and a thoroughly estimable gentleman.
I hope to meet him at a dinner in his constituency this year.

Maybe, maybe not....personally I'm not one who attributes the ability to play political 4D chess to many politicians.

For myself I find a top brass member of the EU criticising another state for not having a 'plan' as slightly amusing.

If the current EU is the result of what happens when you have a 'plan' then gawd blimey......I'd rather trust Gemma Collins to safeguard a bag of chips.

Yep.....Boris kind of let that out of the bag when he wrote those two letters.

Mind you if we are going to have another joke as a leader, I'm happy for it to be someone who can actually make me laugh.

And I suspect that Johnson will get rid of all these 'hate' laws that the easily offended on both sides have been pushing and implementing.....So he gets my vote on that alone.

Ask him how his hedge funds are doing now he moved them out of the UK pre Brexit and into the safer eu area?

Do as I say, not....
