What's the betting that he'll say this is a plot by his political rivals to discredit him?
The legal harassment of Boris Johnson reeks of Remainer despotism (Telegraph)

It seems that it was OK to lie, since both sides had the same opportunity to lie to the voters.
David Davies, who said it was “deeply sinister” that Johnson faced being “dragged” into court. He added on Twitter: “EU supporters falsely claimed that a leave vote would collapse the economy. No action being taken against them.”
I didn't see that bus :?
Nor was it corrected in writing and publicly by the National Audit Office and yet was still repeated.

Everyone lies, so it's ok that Boris lied.
Ah, you're supposed to say that nobody cares as well. ;)

Problem is not that he lied, problem is that he used deceitful tactics to influence the voters... and for that he deserves to be tarred, feathered, put in the stocks for a whole week and banished from politics

The actual figure is around half that (the UK is a net contributor), depending on how one calculates it. The trouble was that the people who protested loudly against Boris’ exaggeration only drew attention to the fact that it is still a large sum, which little Englanders resented, ignoring of course the overall net benefits of membership.

Boris is nothing if not a canny cunt.

Indeed. I strongly suspect that he will not lead the Tories into a new general election, as he knows that it can only lose badly.
The outcomes are all bad:
No Brexit and the conservative voters desert en masse to Farage
A "May-like" deal, and the conservative voters desert en masse to Farage
A "No deal, no problem" solution that will result in a hard border with Ireland, and a shortage of bogroll and toothpaste. Englanders will then smell equally badly from both ends, and who would want to do business with them, then?

I can't tell a thing, I don't conduct business, I'm retired, and I was back office personnel back when I worked.

Fairy Nuff. I do some business with French people, and they do sometimes come across as somewhat arrogant.
