    1. Cause she’s no Kiera Knightly ? Who I personally find adorable in her quirky looks – actually

  5. Laugh out loud clever!

    Suppose a certain Canadian politician had presented his platform in a similar manner. Do you think we’d have Prinz Dummkopf as PM today?

    1. It’s all a takeoff on the movie “Love, Actually” some rom-com that the Brits love. My wife does too.

      Still, brilliant move by Bojo. Clever and relatable. Wish we had a conservative politician with half his charisma and competency.

  7. Spoil sport here:
    Even with a majority it won’t get done.
    Consider Obamacare with the GOP owning the presidency, congress and the senate. Didn’t get done. No politician wants to shrink government or in the case of GB get rid of some nice new plums when the voters have tossed them out.
    Hope I’m wrong. Will be thrilled if I am.

  8. No, actually. There’s not going to be an actual Brexit, with:

    —Comrade Erika told to stuff her divorce bill up her fat arse
    —Romania told to take back its stinking gypsies
    —the Dublin globalists and republican murderers sent packing by British paratroopers
    —Britain’s jails cleaned out due to the prompt return of hanging and the swift execution of Muslim and Irish republican terrorists (capital punishment is incompatible with EU membership).

    All BoJo actually plans to do with his majority is sell Ulster to the EU so he can tell English dementia patients he got Brexit done. Sad to say, it might just work.

    Boris was never as witty has he pretended to be.

  9. Making a list,
    checking it twice,
    trying to find out why Brexit is nice,
    Euro-crats are leaving my town.

    They had lots of rules,
    played us for fools,
    made us buy all their cheaply made tools,
    Euro-crats are leaving my town.

    We know if they’ve been fascist,
    or communist let’s say,
    we know if they’ve been bad or good,
    and they’re definitely gay.

    1. Oh, you’d better watch out,
      They’re watching your feeds,
      If you’re not with them
      The whips will cause bleeds,

      Conformism’s coming to town.

      They see you when you’re posting,
      They know your twitter feed,
      If you diverge from what is good
      Then a scourging’s what you need, oh!

      You’re better watch out,
      you’d better not talk,
      The commissars watch your
      Daily dog walk

      (In)tolerance is coming, to town!

  10. Comments that advocate an armed invasion of the Republic of Ireland by Britain (or the Orange Lodge perhaps) are at the very least offensive and seem to belong to a long-abandoned past situation that has been largely buried in the present context. There is no significant portion of U.K. public opinion even in Northern Ireland that supports any such idea. But if a few Canadians and Ian Paisley want to try it, take lots of body bags. You’re gonna need them. A much more likely future scenario is the reunification of Ireland, as religious differences fade, the cultural differences are so small nowadays that many even in the six provinces favour that outcome and more will do so because of Brexit which does not work as well for Northern Ireland as for England. It also raises the possibility of Scottish independence so they can rejoin Europe. Not saying that is my opinion or preference, just facts you might want to consider.

    1. Peter:

      I think that that’s about right, although I would disagree with you about Scotland. (This coming from a dude from a long line of Orangemen).

      Ms. Sturgeon, in my estimation, has pretty much run her course (say, why are Scottish nationalist leaders always named after fish?…oh, never mind…): she has a tough mountain to climb, and the notion of a second independence referendum in exchange for supporting Jeremy Corbyn is the stupidest thing I’ve seen this week — oh, wait!: the BQ is going to hold the Liberals in office (not in power) over the Throne Speech.

      What’s true is that Boris is clever, risk-taking and witty — as opposed to his opponents, who are, to a person, humourless woke scolds. He’s a star in a movie, a chemist, a Formula One pit-crew guy, a brewer, a cider maker, a front-end loader operator, a cake-boss, a construction worker, and any number of other occupations — plus, he pours tea for the ladies at the retirement home (I particularly liked the one at the cheese factory, where he was wearing something akin to a cowboy hat — poor old Gilles Duceppe couldn’t manage that one).

      And the main thing — he goes out and knocks on doors, with the media in tow (unafraid, like Churchill).

      So, yes: I think the result will surprise many.

      1. Too bad he’s willing to engage in small talk with Trudeau. That’s costing him some in my book.

    2. According to British TV, all married couples are interracial these days, haven’t you noticed?

      Of course it is only Black/White, you never get, say, Chinese/Arab, at least not yet.

      1. I commented on that too.

        Apparently DW told me the couple characters are modeled after the ones in the movie. They were black/white in the movie too.

        Because.

        Of course they were.

  12. A wonderful ad. It works on many levels. Its is funny and makes the political point in an effective manner. The no talking is the most clever part. Once the viewers are engaged they read the cards and get the message. It also plays on Boris Johnson’s persona. He is after all a bit of a ladies man. A memorable ad. Now lets hope it works.

  13. Hey Trump campaign – watch this 1000 times and do likewise especially if Hillary or Michelle decide to run

  15. It was a good concept, but it was belaboured and lost its mojo. The woman was miscast, her hubby was all wrong, and Boris went flat with too many redundant placards. Editing!

    1. do you really not get this? The couple is like in the movie, wearing the same clothes, and are black and white like in the movie. And the cards match the movie, including the “until next year” one. And in the movie, the guy walks down the street and says “enough”. Its virtually a copied scene of one the most popular Christmas movies.

    2. Yes. And which Brexit is it? A No Deal Brexit or a Bad Deal Brexit? If Boris is struggling, it’s because his party has lost a lot of trust.
      I watched and at no point did the term No Deal Brexit appear. Details, details. Lizzie May kept pretending to push a Bad Deal Brexit.

  17. This was in response to Hugh Grant, one of the stars of “Love Actually”, who’s been ranting about how everyone needs to vote Labour and stay in the EU. First of all, why would anyone listen to actors? Second, who would want a terrorist loving, commie sympathizing socialist leading their country………Um…….Oh…….right, apparently we do or, at least, many easterners do.
