"I think there are a lot of Leave people who don't believe it, and I've always thought that Boris's wish was to lose by one so that he could be the heir apparent without having to have all the... you know, s - h - i - t of clearing up all the mess, that's always been my view of Boris."
"By championing leave, he can be the great heir apparent of the future, darling of the activists, but actually it would be quite good if he didn't actually win the referendum because there would be total chaos."
But in a shock move just over a week later - with Mr Johnson's fortunes seen to be at their lowest ebb - Mr Cameron's successor, Theresa May, appointed him as foreign secretary in her new cabinet.
In that role, he has stressed that Brexit does not mean Britain will be leaving Europe, just "leaving the EU", and said he wanted the UK to be a "great global player".

The claim comes from Tory Minister Sir Alan Duncan and confirms what most of already suspected , Johnson is an opportunist who used the Brexit campaign for his own little coup de tar which failed miserably.
Alan Duncan is currently a Minister in Johnson's Foreign office and gave his opinion of his boss for an upcoming documentary called Brexit: A Very British Coup?

And why did Mr's May give Johnson the Foreign office job ? , it's all part of the stitch up.

I've suspected it for a while now , we were given the vote to agree with the government's position but the fact we didn't changes nothing , Brexit is dead , we've been sold down the river.
Why is Brexit dead?

Why is Brexit dead?
Because the vote was to leave the European Union , that will not happen , we will sign up to the single market which will put us right back at square one , we will be in a weaker position as we will still be bound by their rules but have no real say in changing them.
The Brexit we voted for is dead , the Brexit they will give us will see us still tied to the misfortunes of the EU.

For those who are complaining that we voted for Brexit i say this.
You should have voted Labour at the 2015 General Election. The Labour Manifesto did not offer a EU in or out referendum.

We are Germany's 3rd biggest trade partner.
We import 20 billion pounds worth of goods from France
We also trade in the Billions with other EU nations , we are the one of the largest economy's in the world , of course we could negotiate free trade deals.
So why are you saying Brexit is dead then? You seem to be saying you aren't happy, make your mind up.

Your fears have proven futile, it hasn't had an effect on the economy. We need to start negotiating with our Commonwealth brethren as soon as possible, the Commonwealth is a lot larger than the E.U.
Juncker is a total liability, a drunken opportunist.

I have no fears, but if I did, why do you say they are/were futile? We have yet to leave anything!!!!! The fact that the media are talking about the fact it's x months since the referendum is neither here nor there.
You do know though that we deal with the commonwealth now though, don't you? Bombardier are a Canadian company that make trains in the UK as an example - it's not like we don't deal with such companies right now even though people seem to keep suggesting otherwise.
