Maybe so. But Johnson did this by giving the hard right exactly what it wanted: Brexit, and no shilly-shallying about it. As for anti-immigration fever calming, few people ever seem to take a good look at the timing of all this. The Brexit referendum, unfortunately, was held very shortly after the peak of the European refugee crisis, when panic about it was still fresh:

It’s pretty easy to calm anti-immigrant fever if you simply wait a few years for the fever to break naturally. And it’s pretty easy to defang a political movement if you basically surrender to all their demands, no? If you want to argue that this was the only way to get things done, and Johnson was the only one to see it, fine. But there’s not a lot of political brilliance here.
Jeezus, the stupid articles SECOND brings to the board!!
SECOND ... the FIRST referendum may have been just after the height of the European migrant crisis, but THIS vote was clearly a SECOND vote on Brexit, and (even tho according to your stupid article) was post-crisis, the results were even more pro-Brexit than before. If you explain the first vote with the migrant crisis, how do you explain the second?
And as a point of accuracy, the chart represent migrants to ITALY, SPAIN, AND GREECE BY SEA. But THAT is not the source of England's migrants, who typically come from either the Comonwealth nations or from the poorer eastern European nations in the EU, and in a different timespan!
The author of this article is brain dead and more interested in making a propaganda point than in describing reality.

Maybe SECOND is having some derangement syndrome by proxy on behalf of the British anti-democracy crowd. Yanno, the people for whom a democratic vote simply isn't good enough.

KIKI, when I posted about "CA" I meant California, not Canada.

But SECOND's posts are all about the same thing - how the result of a democratic vote / is bad / should be ignored / should be overturned / ... If SECOND would post RANDOM incognito crap all over the board, that would be different. But this isn't -just- disinformation. It's always about the same thing. And always with the same agenda. It's outright propaganda.
About the CA - MY BAD!

Left-Wing Newspaper Advises People "How To Leave The United Kingdom" After Election Loss
My advise to anybody who wants to leave is to go to the Middle East. I'm sure they'll be welcome with open arms, and there is zero shortage of causes they could be a part of over there, so they can actually get up off of their lazy asses and do something instead of virtue signalling all day on Twitter.
Maybe they could dress up like Batman and have a superhero in every city that is just waiting to hear screams from a woman so they can bust down the door and stop an honor killing. Or if wearing tights isn't their thing, they could set up camp outside any buildings 2 stories or higher with a trampoline and catch gay people as they're thrown off of the rooftops.
It's funny watching them bitch and whine there like we've had to put up with here for the last three years. Ain't nobody moving. They're all full of shit over there now like everybody was full of shit over here.
I hope Boris realizes what he's gotten himself into though. I think Trump thrives off of trolling trolls. Unlike most presidents before him, he doesn't look a day older today than he did three years ago when he was elected. That's saying a lot considering there has been a 24/7 smear campaign against him since before he even took office.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Yup.
Second is going to pretend that there is still not an immigration crisis in Europe or the UK. Denial of facts is the only way that he can maintain his opinion.

Boris is apparently quite adept at trolling.
Plus, he has a YUGE majority behind him. But he has one mandate: GET BREXIT DONE.
Brits are tired to being dicked around by their own former PM (Theresa May), their own memebers of Parliament (especially Speaker Bercow, who broke just about every rule in the book to block Brexit), and their own Supreme Court, which took upon itself the power to decide policy and interfere with government wheneverit saw fit (Britain doesn't have a written Constitution so the rules and duties used to be limited by tradition, until the Supreme Court did away with that). The betrayal of the British refernedum was unprecedented, and involved all levels of (pro EU) government
If Boris fails to GET BREXIT DONE in a way that satifies Brits, he too will be out on his ass.

Quote:When will Boris Johnson deport those Eastern Europeans? What is he waiting for? He is Prime Minister right this second. He should do it now. He should not wait until after Christmas 2019 to get started loading the trains with foreigners being deported, if getting those Eastern Europeans out of Britain is important. GET BREXIT DONE. Send the Polish plumbers home for Christmas.

While Boris is at it, he should make the NHS all and only British employees.
