I believe that millions of people who voted Leave were also inspired by the belief that Britain is a great country, and that outside the job-destroying coils of EU bureaucracy we can survive and thrive as never before. I think that they are right in their analysis, and right in their choice. And yet we who agreed with this majority verdict must accept that it was not entirely overwhelming.
There were more than 16 million who wanted to remain. They are our neighbours, brothers and sisters who did what they passionately believe was right. In a democracy majorities may decide but everyone is of equal value. We who are part of this narrow majority must do everything we can to reassure the Remainers. We must reach out, we must heal, we must build bridges – because it is clear that some have feelings of dismay, and of loss, and confusion.

He needs to hire Donald Trump’s hair stylist.
That’s because it takes more than just positive speeches to get elected. Attractive hair gives that crucial edge.
My concern is .......IF it had gone the other way, if REMAIN had one.......just like IF Hillary wins here....
...do you think anyone would be reaching out in reconciliation to conservatives in America or Britain.
You KNOW that answer.
A BIG FAT NO
Don’t go wobbly on us Boris.
If fact, Britain may be the only remaining part of Europe in the near future. It more do not leave the EU, the continent of Europe will become Europistan.
Boris is just being a smart politician - but you’re absolutely right. If anything, the hostility would be continuing against the Leave contingent for daring to bring the subject to a vote.
He won’t - but he needs to start bringing the country back together.
I’ve just arrived in the UK - I had to go back. I’m probably going to buy a house now I feel confident there’ll always be an England.
The next British Prime Minister?
“Talking about his Muslim ancestry Johnson, a Christian, said that his great-grandfather, Haji Ahmed, was a successful businessman of Istanbul who had monopoly in honey wax business used to light lamps in mosques.”
“To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers. As the killer of Theo Van Gogh told his victim’s mother this week in a Dutch courtroom, he could not care for her, could not sympathise, because she was not a Muslim.
The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?”
Boris Johnson.
Actually that is threadwordy now isn’t it?
Any time that I studied about ‘Europe’, it was The Continent.
Any National conflicts ‘in Europe’, always occured, after 1066, happened ‘on the Continent’.
The two World Wars, except for aerial bombings by zeppelins and modern aircraft over London, happened on The Continent.
The Soviet Expansion after World War 2, happened on The Continent.
So, by historical fact, England has been kept separate and whole, FROM The Continent, by divine design.
There is no country of origin on The Continent, that has actually had the word ‘Freedom’ in their founding documents, unlike The English Magna Carta.
Nowhere, except on The Continent, can a short in stature Corsican lower officer, or a private with a moustache, rise to cause so much turmoil, death, and war, causing two countries outside of ‘The Continent’, England and Russia, to come ‘and bail out the rest of the countries in the melee’.
I can not stress enough that Britain is an island, and it takes an real idiot to confuse an island with a continent.
? In so much as Europe does not become Turk...
Cool story, Bro.
Did you just make that up? Because that's total nonsense. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man, the cornerstone of the French Revolution and the basic founding document of the French Republic (helpfully written in part by an Englishman) uses the word "freedom" repeatedly. Just one example of several.
Incidentally the only time “freedom” is used in Magna Carta is to describe freedom of the Church - not freedom of religion mind you but the independent power of the then official Roman Catholic Church. No personal freedom is mentioned, at least using that word.
Can we get him to shave his head?
Thanks Eurotwit.
Will he activate Article 50 his first day in office?
