From memory, it was an interviewer who put "do or die" to Johnson to test how committed he was to the October 31 date.
Johnson repeated the phrase back to assure him he was serious.
The "die" I think refers to the Conservative Party. |

How apt it should come from a poem dedicated to a cavalry charge doomed to disaster:
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Some one had blunder’d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred. |

Yes, we will see what will happen on that day, if they stay or go. |

Yes, Britain tends to immortalise its military disasters rather than its military successes.
"
That is right they do that as well  |

"What does boris mean by this slogan? It sounds like he is going to war and there can only be one outcome lol  "
I assumed he is talking in terms of the Tory party.
Do Brexit or the party dies.
I have no idea what the average Conservative voter thinks about that sentiment. |

"Least we forget the wars we also won ...please remember if it was not for many lost ...We would be under the jackboot now...ps we also in recent times kicked the argies arses ."
You're suggesting that Boris was talking about various wars when he said Brexit - do or die? |

What he means is the rich (tory doners with offshore bank accounts and involved in masive tax avoidance scams) can take it on, whereas the least well off and vulnerable will take tbe brunt of his stupidity |
