Another reason is that there are massive links between the big sugar industry and the Leave campaigns - Tate and Lyle have been lobbying for the cane industry in the EU for years, and were one of the few big companies to support Brexit because the EU prefers to promote its own beet industry. (British Sugar products use UK beet sugar from Norfolk rather than T & L's cane sugar) Johnson's pals Lord Ashcroft, Aaron Banks and Andy Wigmore all have close ties to Belize's sugar industry, through residence and offshore tax havens. https://thepinprick.com/2017/12/11/daydream-belizers-brexit-big-sugar-and-the-strange-case-of-andy-wigmore/

Good stuff! Not sure why you say Ha ha, not aware of anyone on either side of the political divide who doesn't want him to get the job.

More worrying is that there are actually still some members of the Tory Party around.....

So you've just voted for a man who wrote this for his Telegraph column: "Britain is a great nation, a global force for good. It is surely a boon for the world and for Europe that she should be intimately engaged in the EU." "Brexit would cause an "economic shock" that could lead to the breakup of the United Kingdom." "Shut your eyes. Hold your breath. Think of Britain. Think of the rest of the EU. Think of the future, think of the desire of your children and your grandchildren to live and work in other European countries, to sell things there, to make friends and perhaps to find partners there." "This is a market on our doorstep ready for further exploitation by British firms. The membership fee seems rather small for all that access. Why are we so determined to turn our back on it?" You've been mugged!

I think its more like a grooming rather than a mugging insofar as its been carried out over a number of years. Create a problem, create the bogeyman to blame it on and then create the solution. Its very similar to these gangs which over time tell girls their families hate them, that they love them and will look after them. A for the great Britain rhetoric presently being spouted this is an interesting read... https://bylinetimes.com/2019/07/05/the-story-of-brexit-is-the-story-of-empire-how-has-a-fake-nostalgia-for-the-british-empire-helped-wrench-britain-from-europe/

Grooming is a perfect analogy for the methods used to enable Leave's poisonous rhetoric to take hold, but my point was that in the past, Johnson has embraced the Remain campaign just as enthusiastically as Leave. He doesn't care whether we leave or stay, he'll follow whatever course suits his political ambitions.

Nigel does like to make a few quid out of the faithful. Again, along with being a sex offender, seems to be a common trait on the populist/far right fringe - Yaxley Lennon's living it large on the back of all those fighting fund donations too. Hopefully he'll be living rent free soon, courtesy of Her Maj.
