Sorry General, shouldn't have asked.

I will, reluctantly, cos he is a beaut, back up @RichardP on all things re intel and stuff back then.

Yep. We agree on that.

 

[RichardP]

Sorry General, shouldn't have asked.

I would only have been a General if I had joined the Army. I much preferred Flight Lieutenant in the RAF.

Though I do have (now deceased) relatives who reached fairly senior rank in the Army.

@peteblue the yellowhammer letter was dated August 2019, meaning that no previous Minister to that time could have leaked this information. Mr Hammond is awaiting an apology from Johnson, apparently. Hope this helps......

I’m not that interested on who leaked it and I couldn’t give a crap what Hammond wants or doesn’t want. That man completely undermined our negotiation position and effectively stopped any sensible preparations for Brexit. His political career is at an end. We now have a PM who will drive a solution or will take us out at the end of October. The whole of the country should get behind Boris as he fights for the U.K. the difference between him and the vacillating May and Corbyn is incredible......Boris is doing to Brexit what Ben Stokes did today in the Test Match, he’s playing a blinder........

Me too. ( The latter point. I've never known a Flight Lt.)

On the one hand Boris, and on the other reality.

Boris and Ben Stokes!lollol

Like I said, it depends on your politics. If you are left wing you are pre disposed not to believe anything from a tory, even though it may be an inconvenient truth.

I’m an imaginary fighter pilot too pal.

I was a real one. Unfortunately, I knackered my back so spent the better part of my military career flying transport aircraft (VC10) and instructing on the Dominie (mil version of HS125).

I am now a B777 Captain.

Likewise the other way? It was ever thus, but now in the days of fake news, Cambridge Analytics, political disinformation it's a good deal harder.
Most people go with their gut. It's often the only thing left.

I am pretty agnostic on Left/Right, I tend towards who appears to be competent. Cos lets face it, they are all toads basically.

My opinion on Johnson is that he isnt very clever. He has played to a gallery, and has been naked in his ambition to be PM. If he fails in delivering your version of Brexit, what will you think of him then?
