PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[existentialist]

Both options, clearly, equally acceptable.

And, in combination, unbeatable.

Footage of the staged/televised address to the cabinet also here (Telegragh YT channel). I think the 'covid-compliant' setting of the FCO for this cabinet also amplified his desperation as he looked around the great room seeing them all staring at their notes. He did look like an increasingly unhinged dictator; even Sunak's obsequious attempt at laughter dissolved (on camera) into the worrying frown of realisation...

I used to say he sounded like a prep school rugby captain who's team were 40-nil down at half time. Not sure he sounds even that good now.

Except they're 80-nil up

He is singlehandedly going to make metaphors a laughable polemic device.

 

[frogwoman]

Nautical metaphors are rather apt given the 'ship of state's starting to resemble the titanic

 

[frogwoman]

Someone needs to tell him to stop. Its pathetic.

News just in

Rule, Britannia! will be sung on Last Night of the Proms after BBC U-turn

"Both pieces will now include a select group of BBC Singers. This means the words will be sung in the Hall, and as we have always made clear, audiences will be free to sing along at home."

This is a tremendous relief in my household - we'd imagined they were going to reconfigure their detector vans for unlicensed singing

Jfc he looks creepy in that photo. His eyes are dead.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Is that a bottle of Absolut vodka on the desk? FFS, even I remain professional when at work...

 

[ska invita]

His eyes are dead.

thats a start, lets hope it spreads

 

[Saul Goodman]

Which vodka would you suggest?

 

[frogwoman]

He's got the eyes of a serial killer in that photo.

thats a start, lets hope it spreads

 

[two sheds]

20,000+ and counting?

You half expect him to feature on a true crime documentary judging by that photo. Maybe he will one day tbh.

'To all intents and purposes, Boris Johnson was a member of high society in Westminster. But he had a terrifying secret...and in the autumn of 2020 this became all too clear'

I can't help thinking the Herald of Free Enterprise is a better analogy - sets off in disarray without taking even basic safety precautions and falls over just outside the harbour!

 

[Sprocket.]

He’s a clanging empty, rudderless vessel. Becalmed in the fog of his own making. Time to hit the rocks and sink without trace.

empty vessels make the loudest noise

By this time of day he's been on the rocks for an hour or more, on the whisky on the rocks

He was in downing st last night, shambling all over the place and going on about how no one likes him. he tripped over outside number 10 and was taken inside by 2 cops, one of who he was sick on.

Would people like to share the best ways of beating paywalls? Especially the Times one, which I can't find a way around. I've just discovered how to bypass the FT one. You install this Chrome add-on...
