He called him a loser in an email (to the press?), unfit for office and declared his own intention to run for PM hours before Johnson planned to announce his own bid with Gove as his campaign manager.
Though its possible he never intended to run, given his backtracking and timid response to Brexit so far.
Lol so according to Bill Maher after the Brexit vote the top google searches in the UK were:
-What does it mean to leave the EU?
-What is the EU?
-What countries are in the EU?
😆
You are right British politics are always the best.
Perhaps though people can explain to me why it's a good thing that in the EU you could apparently just go to any country in the EU without even needing a passport? Why is that a thing people want to preserve?
Also I heard someone say the EU has rules for the curvature of banana's. Was the person who said that..making a joke? A person couldn't be prosecuted for selling a bendy banana, right? Or maybe our country too could prosecute me for selling the wrong kind of banana.
Anyways enough about banana's. Was the EU formed largely as a response to the Soviet Union? Is the EU governed without democratic approval?
Free movement of labour between states brings enormous benefits to employment flexibility and cultural interchange- it's basically the central principle of the entire project. Don't confuse that with passport free travel, which is the Schengen Area, which the UK is not a part of so has no bearing ion the exit debate.
The bananas thing is a myth. There's a lot of text about what counts as normal for a banana but it's not a law and it only replicates what most nations have anyway.
The EU was formed in the context of the Soviets but was more about building a better post-war world.
It's completely democratic- the people who vote on the laws are elected.

So what do you make of this:
Just to be clear you can't get in any legal trouble then for doing this? Since it has lines from the "law itself".
No, no-one will ever get into any legal trouble from the EU for that. The most that would ever happen is that people would not be able to import/export a completely weirdly shaped banana in the same batch as other bananas, which is an absurd abstract anyway.
You should also note that regulations saying fruit should be free of malformation etc. are normal in most countries.
I think what you are assuming may possibly happen is not true, no. There is no possibility anyone would ever be prosecuted for selling the banana of the wrong bend. It is neither practically nor technically possible.
What you can't do is sell someone wholesale a box of stuff called bananas and then when they get the crate it turns out they are all so absurdly shaped that he'd never be able to sell them to customers.
To be fair the more curved a banana is the easier one can use it and pretend it is a gun. Judging how a teacher reacted to the kid who bit a poptart into the shape of a gun..it would be pure anarchy if these curved bananas got out of control.
Now how does the EU feel about bananas in pajamas? I assume they, like me, agree pajamas are no place for bananas or any other kind of fruit.
