PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Mogden]

Has he been auditioning for Kabuki theatre? The pasty faced nozzle.

They know once he gets het up he starts glowing so they've painted him Goth

 

[Lord Camomile]

I do wish they would pull him up on saying thank you so insincerely for every bastard thing. Odds on someone once briefed him and said to show sincerity and appear more human to the public offer thanks for things and now he does it all the bloody time.

I think it's a fairly standard managementy type thing.

Hell, I sometimes do it when taking to management. Got to keep things civil

Oh no, I get that, I do it myself but not for every single thing. Let's go to Tarquin Smyth-Jones.
"Thank you, errr, thank, Tarquin, for, errrr, breathing."

 

[Lord Camomile]

I assume he's aware more people will be watching this than normal, but I wonder if he'll forget and revert back to his blustery, uppity self.

 

[agricola]

I can see Yvette Cooper's point, but giving him the opportunity to tell people "yes, they can do what Cummings did" is really dangerous.

Hillier's question was far better.

It's not working is it

 

[agricola]

can't believe I am nearly cheering Yvette Cooper on

 

[Mogden]

It's not working is it

Nope

It'll be the finger pulling at the collar next

 

[Lord Camomile]

There was a weird noise when Cooper mentioned Cummings, thought Johnson had possibly ragequit the call

No such luck Still an hour to go, though...

 

[Calamity1971]

Go to work if you must? Thought it was if you can.
He hasn't got his trusty pen to put in his pocket.

 

[Chilli.s]

I'v got fingers crossed that he gets tripped up and fucks cummings. Live on air. Please.

 

[Mogden]

Oh dear! No one left him a glass of water then. Drier than a nun's ladygarden

 

[Lord Camomile]

I kind of assumed he would have, given he's still recovering and all this talking would be difficult at the best of times.

But yeah, definitely seems to be struggling.

 

[Petcha]

Hyde Park was heaving today. I saw one group blatantly play the Cummings card when a copper asked them to move on. He threatened them with a fine but then gave up. I actually felt sorry for him. There were groups everywhere. It's got totally out of control.

 

[Sprocket.]

Greg’s being fed questions from Cummings.

 

[agricola]

probably slating the Wayback Machine next

 

[Lord Camomile]

Possibly not the thread, but I don't understand how contact tracing will be in any way possible at this stage, when bally hundreds of thousands of us will have it.

It won't and Twitter reports shockingly bad use of it on the Isle of Wight.

 

[belboid]

Maybe its cos ewe're sane yorkshire folk, but we went to the local botanical gardens on monday, and there were a couple of groups of four that looked like two households coming together, but otherwise everyone was very much sticking by the rules. Same in town today, a few people in the green spaces but all quite properly distanced. Mates in Scarborough said that the beaches have been largely empty still. So far from totally out of control.

 

[agricola]

Even the softball, nonsense questions are winding him up as he realises Cummings breached them too.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh fuck me, I thought we'd avoid the likes of Hunt.

 

[Mogden]

It also relies on people being tested, and oh how great that has been so far , and people having a mobile with the capacity for an app. Doris on the corner who has no one to buy her milk and doesn't drive is not going to have access to either and will go out with her granny trolley regardless.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Good question from Hunt lol
Bluster etc

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is this Hunt sharpening his knives?

 

[agricola]

did he really just say test, track and trace wasn't appropriate then but is now?

 

[Steel Icarus]

did he really just say test, track and trace wasn't appropriate then but is now?

Yes

 

[Roadkill]

I'm trying to get some work done so not watching this, but could some kind soul give an impression of how he's doing? Say on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most commanding, polished performance you could possibly imagine, and 1 being ... well, Cummings' statement.

 

[Steel Icarus]

2.5

 

[Sprocket.]

Hunt is shaping up as Brutus.
