Do you really need to resort to badly photo-shopped pictures to supporet your arguement, if so it just proves that yopu are a complete wally spouting the anti-boris propaganda and hence the anti-brexit propaganda.
If you think it's difficult getting Boris to resign (persuade 54 Tories) just imagine what would happen if you wanted Ursula von der Leyen to resign (persuade 26 Governments).
The EU was strangling the UK slowly but surely.
So, Bill...
Sorry you didn't like the picture.
It's by well known artist/satirist 'Cold War Steve' (not his real name).
Here's some more of his stuff - www.coldwarsteve.com .
I'm sure you'll hate it, but it's clever, if somewhat dark stuff.
A 21st Century Hogarth, if you will.
Whether it proves I'm a wally, I don't know - but he's all the rage with the Kids.
And I'm sorry about the Anti-Boris propaganda/facts - but that's freedom of speech for you.
(Not to be confused with Freedom of Movement, which I know you find confusing.)
If I wanted Ursula Von Der Leyen to resign, you're right, there's absolutely nothing I could do about it.
We're no longer in the EU so we don't get a vote, remember.
If, on the other hand, the EU Parliament who voted her in want to get rid of her for misconduct, there is provision for a vote of censure.
This was about to happen in 1999 - but the President did the decent thing and resigned.
Perhaps he should have re-written the rules, just like Boris did yesterday.
As to your last point, a couple of questions.
1) How exactly was the EU slowly but surely strangling us?
2) Since Brexit and the release of their steely grip, what benefits have you yourself noticed?
