    Only one certainty: that the only deciding factor will be whatever is best for his career prospects. I'm not sure that even Boris knows what he actually thinks on this or that subject - if anything.

    Difficult to know what he thinks - he talks a lot but says very little. In fact, subtract the mumbling nonsense and it amounts to FA.

    Keep on battling Dave, remember you're British - stiff upper lip and all that, and don't let the Johnny Foreigners pull a fast one on you.**

    ** He will! [​IMG] Funny thing is they all refer to each other as 'partners' but behind the scenes they're fighting like rats in a sack for their own interests . . and there's nothing wrong with that, which is why it doesn't nor ever will work. Forcing different cultures to integrate and expect 100% equanimity from all parties isn't possible, and that's that.

    Clearly the different cultures such as Scotch, Irish and Welsh did not combine to make the largest empire the world has ever known! Oh yeah and the English helped a bit!

    Well everyone in the UK did. Even plenty of non-British did so too.

    So he's blown it then; it's nothing but a fudge and the EU has a proud history of fudging. I'm amused when I see his 'partners' with smiles stitched onto their mugs when they're talking to him: little does he know they loathe him with a passion, and will mercilessly prove it if we get a 'remain' result to the referendum. It will be so good not to keep hearing foreign-accented jobsworths and bureaucrats telling us English what we can and can't do. Bloody cheek! [​IMG]

    On Today just now one of the Eurocrats has just called the result 'a compromise'. compromise - fudge? What's the difference? :roll:

    One of Britain's most popular and liked politicians who has served TWO terms as Mayor of London.

    It would be a MASSIVE boost to the OUT campaign should he be their leader and will definitely make the IN campaign very nervous.

    He's actually had a haircut - losing that maverick look, Boris?

    He's backing Out, but won't be leading it. Go figure.

    And a new persona? That was the first time I've ever heard him not 'playing to the populist gallery'. I still don't think he has the gravitas to be a PM though (but hey, does Dave? :mrgreen: ); I'm fairly sure he'd slip back to playing the clown, which ploy he shamelessly uses to avoid awkward questions.
