PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Sue]

boris johnson's security detail refer to him as boxer.

we all know what happens to boxer in animal farm.

And as soon as one thinks 'Boris Johnson', 'Stakhanovite' immediately springs to mind.

He's not a model worker though, he's a model cunt.

I know. I was joking and wondering if whoever assigned him that code name was on a massive wind up...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Well, a fridge is basically a box...

 

[brogdale]

I'd heard it's because, IRL, he's so short.

 

[JimW]

It's because of the bollocks that come out of him so regularly.

 

[MrSki]

Not a word on the A level fiasco or the covid crisis but give him a dead cat.



Cunt.

ETA who is 'they'?

[MrSki]

the irony of 'Rule Britannia' which was written in 1760 (?) was it was about the superiority on the navy. In 1760 at least half of the navy had been pressed ganged & were fucking slaves or as good as. Didn't have a choice in it.

Straight out of the Trump Book of Billy Bullshittery. Invent a fictional antagonist to bravely struggle against. They don't want us to hear about X"

The same people who don't let Trump spout whatever shit he wants.

So, nobody.

oooh, that gets one's hopes up....

 

[Steel Icarus]

What culture? Fuck culture!

To paraphrase Donston's god Churchill, he's a shameful man with much to be ashamed about.

 

[teqniq]

This bullshit concerning rule Britania and land of hope and glory being removed from the Proms appears to have been entirely manufactured by the media. No-one in BLM has called for it. Classic distraction techinique anyone?

 

[two sheds]

I heard they're going to ban Christmas

 

[Streathamite]

Bullseye.

 

[Poot]

With everything gone to shit, it was surely time for a dog whistle.

Ahhh, those halcyon days when we were known as "Perfidious Albion"...

How little has changed.

While there's no specific demand, cultural institutions are all reviewing their content right now in the light of BLM - partly because it's the right thing to do (and is way past time anyway), partly to be seen to be doing something, and partly out of fear of having their statues pulled down by an unruly mob (metaphorically, but also physically) - so it's not totally manufactured.

The removal of Rule Britannia from the proms is right, but it's removal will inevitably be a source of conflict, and it will also inevitably be leveraged by the right to forment discontent in their support. But what's the alternative?

killer b I think in this particular instance it is totally munufactured, but you'll hear no dissagreement from me that rule Britiania should be removed from the Proms

Do you think the BBC have announced it's removal as some kind of provocation? This year's proms launch this week, they kind of had to announce something.

Apparently it was because that particular part of the Proms is an audience participation thing and because of the pandemic it became redundant. The Right-wing media fairly predicably seized upon it for reasons that are also fairly predictable.

e2a

I nominate this for future events.

 

[two sheds]

Bloody typical, BBC clearly starting a whole fucking pandemic just so they could ban Land of hope and glory

do you believe that's the only consideration they had?

 

[gosub]

Well, they probably also noticed that Peter Crouch is quite a big bloke,and they didn't want to argue with him about saving summer

(zoom singing is slightly more technically challenging than it looks)

As I unsderstand it, there's also a huge logistics problem with the proms this year. Just how do you socially distance with a 60-piece symphony orchestra, without rendering performance farcical?

 

[teqniq]

do you believe that's the only consideration they had?

I am not sure, but it appears to be the primary reason.

 

[two sheds]

it's one reason that's important enough on its own now you mention it

One could almost be forgiven for thinking that the Beeb announced this purely to give the government something to get excited about and win points with their hardcore support.
