Here it is – the great EU referendum debate featuring two of the finest debaters on opposite sides of the EU argument:
Boris Johnson vs Boris Johnson
Question Number 1.
How necessary or important is it that this referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU takes place? Over to you first, Mr Boris Johnson …
What do you have to say to that, Mr Johnson?
Strong words from Boris for his opponent Boris Johnson. Now for question Number 2.
What would happen if Britain left the EU. Mr Johnson?
And what do you think Mr Johnson?
So a huge disagreement between Boris and his opponent Boris. Question Number 3.
Some people claim it would be too difficult in practical terms for Britain to leave the EU. Mr Johnson, do you agree?
Mr Johnson? Do you agree with Mr Johnson?
Question Number 4 for Boris. Why do you think staying in the EU would be better for Britain’s businesses?
And Boris … why do you think leaving the EU would be better for Britain’s businesses?
So Boris with a clear difference of opinion with himself there. On to question number 5. What do you think about Turkey joining the EU?
Your retort to Mr Johnson, Mr Johnson?
OK, thank you both. Question number 6. What do you think of the TTIP trade deal between the EU and the US? Boris?
And Boris?
Here is the final question for both of you. Which historical person do you most identify with the ideals of the EU? Mr Johnson?
Mr Johnson?
Pride's Purge 
And neither of them knows who’s wining.

Boris Johnson still has his plea for Turkey to join the EU up in full on his website.

P.S. – Sorry Tom, I forgot to say well done. This is SO much better. We have to attack the arguments and substance of those who seek to use power badly (NO MATTER which party they serve) and also not waste effort on irrelevancies like tattoos, recipes or throwaway tweets.

A prize pair of buffoons, I understand they both share the same forename, oh – and family name too! Not by any chance related? No, I’m sure we’d have been told. I have heard that a week is a long time in politics and the separation in time here is several years. Fifty two weeks in a year, so that’s … A lot of weeks and a long, long time in politics. Time enough to change ones firmly held convictions and core beliefs.
Or maybe one or the other is a mouthpiece for whatever currently happens to be expedient?

If we stay, this is probably our next PM. He’s a dodgy, selfish, lying, cheating fake buffoon. He’s also using Farage’s idiotic “logic”. Farage claimed 29 million Bulgarains & Romanians “might” come here. In that year the figure turned out to be 22,000.
If Boris thinks the entire populace of Turkey is coming here, he’s an imbecile* and unfit for purpose.
If Boris knows it won’t happen but says it anyway to scare us, he’s a liar and unfit for purpose.**
* He’s very clever
** Plenty of MPs are liars and unfit for purpose.

Ithink mostsre missing the point here. Boris was unaware of the details of the crazy TTIP agreement the EU is signing up to. Negotiations in th treaty have failed since he mde those statements. Masss immigration wasnt a threat as it is now. Very easy to put someones own commentsup against them – however allcomments should be seen in the context they were made and at the point intimethey were made. Vote BREXIT because TTIP and mass immigration are going to lower our standard of living accross the board- well other than for the rich who always prosper at times like these. Us poor people that is 90 percent of the population will be stuck with the bill for these failures.

To be fair I think Tom Pride should similarly scrutinise all politicians over the course of a few years – you’d find that most of them are just “playing politics” – like actors but with no real passion or any principles.

Particularly because, vehemently appealing for Turks to be kept out of the UK, he, himself, has Turkish forebears. In this, he is like Nigel Farage and Gisela Stuart, both (in Farage’s case, generations ago; but not his wife) immigrants, both campaigning to keep immigrants out of the UK. Hypocrisy.

I’ve been discussing this subject for many years and I’m not sure I’ve met a single person, anywhere, who claims that leaving the EU means leaving Europe. Quite why Boris feels the need to attack an argument no reasonable person would make is beyond me.
It’s the very fact that Europe will continue to be central to our interests that means we have a stake in staying in the EU. We’ll be part of a European continent in which all of the major issues that affect us (from economic downturns, to the regulation that governs the European market, to the fallout from wars in the Middle East, to terrorism, to Russian aggression) will be negotiated primarily through a set of institutions that we have no formal access to. It’s difficult to imagine how that can possibly result in a situation in which we’re better able to argue our case in Europe. To suggest, as Boris does here, that we’ll actually gain influence within Europe by doing this is misleading in the extreme and he doesn’t offer a single coherent bit of reasoning or evidence to back that assertion up.
Far from “taking back control” what we’re proposing here is to throw in the towel – and for what? We still can’t agree on the very basics of what this new relationship will involve and precisely why it will be better than the status quo.
