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.

Sounds pretty mealy-mouth to me.
Well duh. The island didn’t suddenly move to Asia!
Not at the end, did you read the whole article?
And the one after that will be Sadiq Khan.
The UK is sitting on a huge opportunity to redo their economy. Slash regulations,etc... I am afraid though it won’t happen. Don’t see the leadership.
Boris needs to bring the other 48% along to be able to lead.
dear alter,
Thank you for reading my reply.
Biographer Sonia Purnell described his public persona as "brand Boris", noting that he developed it while at Oxford University.[352] Max Hastings referred to this public image as a "façade resembling that of P.G. Wodehouse's Gussie Fink-Nottle, allied to wit, charm, brilliance and startling flashes of instability",[353] while political scientist Andrew Crines stated that Johnson had created "the character of a likable and trustworthy individual with strong intellectual capital".[354] Johnson purposely cultivates a "semi-shambolic look",[355] for instance by specifically ruffling his hair in a certain way for when he makes public appearances.[356] Purnell described him as "a manic self-promoter" who filled his life with "fun and jokes".[357] Described by Crines as "a joker",[354] Johnson has stated that "humour is a utensil that you can use to sugar the pill and to get important points across."[357]
Different years, of course; but Boris and Donald's birthdays are three days apart.
Interesting, thanks.
