Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Boris may not be the leader. There is a campaign among the Conservative MPs to block Boris. Theresa May looks quite likely. Boris has to be in the two chosen by Conservative MPs before those two are put to the Conservative members to choose from. Last time it was between David Davis and Cameron.

1. In-work benefits for the low paid are generous in the UK compared to other countries in the EU15 and may act as a much stronger pull factor towards Britain than to other member states. This paper finds that the UK is the fourth most generous country of the EU15[1] in its provision of benefits to low income workers after Denmark, Luxembourg and Ireland – with populations of 5.5 million, 500,000 and 4.5 million respectively. Furthermore, the UK is more generous than Finland and France and much more generous than Germany, Sweden the Netherlands and the rest of the EU14 in topping up low wages. When the costs of living are accounted for, low paid workers in the UK are the second richest in the EU15 after Luxembourg. Access to unemployment benefit, while paid at a lower rate than in many of the EU15 countries, is much easier to access in the UK where there are virtually no conditions of access, compared to more robust controls elsewhere.

Remain campaigners may sign up as Conservative members to vote against Boris. Theresa May was a remain supporter. If she is PM then expect a stitch up, that is if she leaves at all.

"myself and my friends voted out to cut migration. now they are saying
thats not going to happen"
That's why when they have the GE, people who voted to LEAVE should
vote UKIP, they might not win outright but they would have a good chance
of taking seats in many Labour areas, and could win some from the tory's,
like in Thanet South..

Can EU migrants easily claim benefits when they arrive in another EU country?
No - there are conditions, depending on an individual's circumstances.
They can stay for three months, but to stay longer after that they have to be: in work; or actively seeking work with a genuine chance of being hired; or be able to show they have enough money not to be a burden on public services. Apart from that, evidence of benefit abuse or fraud is grounds to exclude or expel a person.
the uk is the only country that pays out of work benefits to out of work migrants out of work for over 3 months that is why they all want to risk all to get to the uk

Remain supporters suggested on social media that they may join up as Conservative members to stop Johnson and Gove taking over in the same way that Labour membership surged so that people could vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

"Farage was promising all sorts of things and he wasn't even an MP"
Do please tell what Nigel Farage promised?
Because it was Nigel Farage that's said the 350 million was not correct,
and it was the Tory Brexiters that were saying it was.
Now put up these other promises that you say Nigel Farage made..

There will be no free movement of people when we exit the EU or the country will be in uproar ,there will be riots .
A lot of people were going to vote UKIP if LEAVE lost ,so imagine what will happen if they are stitched up when they won.

Rees Mogg is great, but not a PM. He is known as the honourable member for the early 20th century.
