PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Those features have/are present in any number of political philosophies, none of them are unique to fascism. They don't even distinguish Trump from other US politicians (Republican or Democrat). The fact that you seem to think fascism is nothing more than "being nasty" just revels how ignorant you are (again). Seriously this is BLiar type shit.

You've made fascism so wide a term as to make it utterly meaningless. In 1939 the British, French and US governments were all racist, violent and discriminated against women and people with disabilities, hell they are still are now, so all fascist according to you.

And ditto for your use of the word "liberal". But hey, you're convinced you are correct so please, carry on.

He might get away with being prime minister for a few months but never chancellor, not even for a day. I'm sure even he knows that..

He is self-aware enough that going into the mayoralty, he knew to surround himself with experts. Unfortunately, a lot of those experts were from The City, hence Johnson's retreat into being "Boris" rather than a mayor.

No. The fact that you think there would just revels your utter ignorance of any real political understanding (Bush junta FFS). Pathetically liberal bullshit masquerading as analysis.

Trump is not a fascist, the Republican party is not fascist, Bush was not a fascist. To claim that they are is both moronic and counter-productive.

To me, Trump is more like Nehemiah Scudder, snake oil salesman and "backwoods preacher" who becomes President of the US,and turns it into a religious dictatorship in Robert Heinlein's story "If This Goes On".
People fixate on "Trump is this", and "Trump is that". Look at the man's record - he's an exemplar of capitalism, a chameleon who'll become anything necessary, for the amount of time it takes him to personally benefit from it.

Anytime I hear someone shriek "liberal" at me; I'm reminded of Fox News and all those eejits. Trump is a fascist. Your little indignant spiel is of no importance, other than to yourself.

He isn't a fascist. You demean those who suffered under/still suffer under fascisms, by using the term.
He's authoritarian, but he's not an isolationist, an expansionist or remotely interested in autarky or corporatism. He's a neoliberal capitalist through-and-through.

Maybe time to remember this poem - Written by one of Boris's favourite poets and published by him in his time at the Spectator but when he was also an MP.



I remember it being defended as "Boris just being a bit cantankerous" at the time!

Sounds quite Gilbert and Sullivan.

Edited to add:

Or Flanders and Swann.

The English
(Flanders & Swan)

The rottenest bits of these islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers
Examine the Irishman, Welshman or Scot
You'll find he's a stinker as likely as not

The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

The Scotsman is mean as we're all well aware
He's boney and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salty porridge, he works all the day
And hasn't got bishops to show him the way

The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

The Irishman now our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth
He blows up policemen or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third

The English are moral the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood

The Welshman's dishonest, he cheats when he can
He's little and dark more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp on his hat
And sings far too loud, far too often and flat

The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

And crossing the channel one cannot say much
For the French or the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch
The Germans are German, the Russians are red
And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed

The English are noble, the English are nice
And worth any other at double the price

And all the world over each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice before hand which spoils all the fun

The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

It's not that they're wicked or naturally bad
It's just that they're foreign that makes them so mad
The English are all that a nation should be
And the pride of the English are Chipper and me

The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

How did he end up becoming Mayor of London. Did you guys all get pissed and vote for him for a giggle:confused:
Click to expand...

He became mayor because the people of London voted for him, not once but twice.

Is he clever?

Well, he was a King's Scholar at Eton, a scholarship awarded to about 70 of Eton's 1200 pupils, awarded for academic achievement. As this is a five year award, about 14 scholarships are awarded each year. Moving on to Balliol College Oxford, obtained an upper second in Greek and Latin. He was also elected president of the Oxford Union.

The main criticisms of him in his school-days were idleness complacency and lateness, despite which, he entered Oxford, again on an academic scholarship.

So? Is he clever? Yes he is, and a damn sight more clever than a lot of his critics on here.

That isn't him being clever. It's him being privileged.

Are you 'bumming off' (Local teenerism for brown nosing) Boris Sasa? :D Once a tory ass kisser...

Johnson is the eldest of the four children of Stanley Johnson, a former Conservative Member of the European Parliament and employee of the European Commission and World Bank, and the painter Charlotte Johnson Wahl (née Fawcett),[7] the daughter of Sir James Fawcett, a barrister[366] and president of the European Commission of Human Rights.[367] His younger siblings are Rachel Johnson, a writer and journalist; Leo Johnson, a partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers specialising in sustainability;[368] and Jo Johnson, Assistant Government Whip and Conservative MP for Orpington. His stepfather was the American academic Nicholas Wahl.[citation needed]

In 1987, he married Allegra Mostyn-Owen; the marriage was dissolved in 1993.[369] Later that year, he married Marina Wheeler, a barrister and daughter of journalist and broadcaster Sir Charles Wheeler and his wife, Dip Singh.[370] The Wheeler and Johnson families have known each other for decades,[371] and Marina Wheeler was at the European School in Brussels at the same time as her future husband. They have two daughters, born in 1997, and three sons: two born in 1995, and one in 1999.[372] Johnson and his family live in Islington, North London. Johnson's stepmother, Jenny, the second wife of his father Stanley, is the stepdaughter of Teddy Sieff, the former chairman of Marks & Spencer.[373]

In 2009 Johnson fathered an illegitimate daughter with Helen MacIntyre, an arts consultant.[374] Her existence was the subject of legal action in 2013 with the Court of Appeal quashing an injunction seeking to ban reporting of her existence; the judge ruled that the public had a right to know about Johnson's "reckless" behaviour.[375][376]

Stanley Patrick Johnson
Johnson was born in 1940 in Penzance, Cornwall, the son of Osman Kemal Wilfred Johnson and Irene Williams, daughter of Stanley F. Williams of Bromley, Kent, by his marriage to Marie Louise de Pfeffel (or Freiin von Pfeffel) in Paris on 15 August 1882.[2] His paternal grandfather Ali Kemal Bey, one of the last interior ministers of the Ottoman Empire government, was assassinated during the Turkish War of Independence. Stanley's father was born Osman Wilfred Kemal or Osman Ali in England in Bournemouth, Hampshire, in 1909, his Anglo-Swiss mother Winifred dying shortly after giving birth.

After Ali Kemal returned to Turkey in 1912, Stanley's father and aunt were brought up by their English grandmother Margaret Brun (née Johnson) and took her maiden name, Stanley's father becoming simply Wilfred Johnson. His maternal grandparents were Hubert Freiherr von Pfeffel, born in Munich on 8 December 1843, and wife Helene von Rivière, born on 14 January 1862; he was the son of Karl Freiherr von Pfeffel (Dresden, 22 November 1811 - Munich, 25 January 1890) and wife (m. Augsburg, 16 February 1836) Karolina von Rothenburg (Frankfurt, 28 November 1805 - Frankfurt, 13 February 1872), herself the natural daughter of Prince Paul of Württemberg by Friederike Porth.

Johnson attended Sherborne School, Dorset, and while still an undergraduate reading Greats at Exeter College, Oxford, he took part in the Marco Polo Expedition with Tim Severin and Michael de Larrabeiti, travelling on a motorcycle and sidecar from Oxford to Venice and on to India and Afghanistan. The adventure led to the publication of Severin's 1964 book Tracking Marco Polo with photographs by de Larrabeiti.

So still first against the wall then :thumbs:


I still think they should of had a celebrity Mayor. Pat Butcher or Ricky :cool:
 
Sure, if you're a fish out of water. But with support... And the scum get plenty of it.

And first against the wall? Put him to work doing something useful first. Digging his own grave for example.
