Ulysses


Boris dropped a bit of a clanger the other day while campaigning in Northern Ireland. He told his audience that NI had an excellent deal because it has access to the Single Market, Freedom of Movement AND 'unfetterd' access to GB. So what do we have? Obviously a lesser deal because we don't have FoM and access to the Single Market. Aside from that, there will be customs checks, and hence friction, between NI and the rest of the UK. He is clearly either lying, or doesn't understand his own deal.

It seems to me that Boris, when giving a speech, tells his target audience exactly what he thinks they want to hear (which may not be what another audience wants to hear, and rarely the truth), has a few, simple thoughts in his head (which may or may not be entirely true, but when has truth ever hampered him) and he tries to connect these targeted thoughts with a stream of consciousness, verbal incontinence that rival's James Joyce's Ulysses in terms of comprehension. Bumbling is the accepted term.


Hell, I am convinced, is an eternal Parliament with Boris at the helm. It is incomprehensible why people who are normally quite intelligent and rational take leave of their senses and moral compass to support this lying buffoon who constantly shoots himself in the head and manifestly demonstrates his incompetence.

Conversely, Corbyn's policies are constantly attacked as communist on social media, but ask anyone to name one of these 'communist' policies, they can't name a single one (the manifesto hasn't even been published yet and Labour is still testing proposed policies), let alone one that's communist. The closest they come is to call out the renationalisation of failed privatisations, which is just commonsense and not communism.
