Canada could win big out of this:

Seems to me that this isn't really the time to discuss open borders with the Brits.

Good to see the other passengers support the Mexican-American being yelled at.

No matter what anybody says they have that right to come here and choose to live here and they should not be discriminated against for that.'

In my Trump template of reference, what kind and type of UK citizen is named Boris?

According to friends who know him, he is a high functioning sociopath who conceals his ambition beneath a show of loveable idiocy.

Apparently, Boris is taking a pass on this one.

Strange thing about Boris is that he seemed to paint a vision which was the best of both worlds an independent UK but with all the advantages of an EU member state.

"British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down…there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market…The only change – and it will not come in any great rush – is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU’s extraordinary and opaque system of legislation." - Boris

I'm not surprised things didn't work out.

I just thought that, since he was one of the staunchest advocates, he'd want to be the leader, too. Anyway, what is Beano?

[grzegorz]

Interesting reading the comments. It seems the Brexit people were misled, of course I'm biased.

I am impressed that since Boris can't deliver his party doesn't want him.

It seems that Trump could never have a shot at political power there. What does that say about the US?

Well, at least we made the rest of the world laugh

It's a very old and established British comic for kids full of outlandish characters. Actually, my mate writes for it - he posted "Boris would not be welcome on the Beano - could you all please stop saying that?"

As for Boris: On the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, Kipling's 'Epitaph to a Dead Statesman', published in 1919, seems to echo recent events as much as those of a century ago.

I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

Ironically, one who's family were Turkish muslim immigrants

I hope it will be Gove, he was always the brains behind it anyway.
He'd be the right choice for what lies ahead.

As much as I think Boris is 'a good bloke', I'm not sure he was right for that post anyway. Ever so slightly above his station if I may be so bold.

You'll survive Graham, I'm sure the tears will run dry sooner or later

Rob.. I'm not sure what the irony is there, I don't think this was about "those bloody immigrants" for many "leavers". It comes down to having at the very least a semblance and modicum of control of our borders. This is something that could well tear Europe down, a simplistic view of it, doesn't do anyone any favours I'm afraid.

Everyone loves to talk about influx, but no one mentions the places in Europe that it drains and shrinks (like Lithuania and it's towns/ cities) at the same time when people can just get up and go to wherever the goings better. Not saying that should be discouraged, but the way the EU is set up right now is just way below good or optimal for many involved IMHO.
