PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[gentlegreen]

It depresses me to realise that not only is Johnson a fucking lying wasteman, but that the majority in the UK know he's a fucking lying wasteman and quite like it and are happy to egg him on.

Similar to USA ...
I think the only hope is that with Trump gone - and hopefully destroying the GOP, the situation here will not look quite so favourable.
Depressing that good vaccine deployment is playing so well ...

Time flies eh?

but that the majority in the UK know he's a fucking lying wasteman and quite like it and are happy to egg him on.

To be fair to our countrymen and women, it wasn't a majority who voted for the Tories 15 months ago. It's only the bizarre vagaries of the UK parliamentary system which affords a massive majority of seats to 43.6% of the vote.

Looks like he is preparing his hair for the mugshot.

Will this be the lead story on the BBC 6pm news? I doubt it very much.

It wasn't on C4, who led with the lack of a nurse pay rise and DfID fucking over a load of countries with their cuts to the aid budget.

With so much to choose from, it must be hard for C4 to decide which bit of deceitful, lying corruption to lead on. The BBC, obviously, doesn't have anything like the same problem...

I hadn't realised until recently that C4 was seen, by some at least, as overly liberal, left of centre. Sayeeda Warsi, on that Stand Up For Cancer thing the other night, joked that she was fine making a fool of herself because "Tories don't watch Channel 4".

C4 News do make a pointed remark almost every night about how they asked a minister to appear "but none were available".

What a fucking cunt. Absolute fucking cunt

Boris Johnson has defended the government’s plan to give health workers a 1% pay rise next year despite warnings that its “shabby” offer could trigger an exodus of NHS staff.

The prime minister gave no ground on the issue, despite growing discontent among Conservative MPs that such a low figure is unacceptable after the NHS workforce’s efforts to tackle Covid-19.

Johnson insisted during a visit to a Covid vaccination centre in London that the government could not afford a higher salary increase. Its 1% offer, which it made to the NHS pay review body on Thursday, has prompted huge controversy, threats of strike action by nurses and a plan for a slow hand-clap protest on doorsteps nationwide this Thursday at 7pm.

Socially distanced protests against the proposed pay rise were held on Sunday, with the organiser of one in Manchester handed a £10,000 fine by police for breaching lockdown regulations.

“I’m massively grateful to all NHS staff and indeed to social care workers who have been heroic throughout the pandemic”, the prime minister said. “What we have done is try to give them as much as we can at the present time,” he told reporters.

If I was a cynical sort of chap, I'd say that this was the intended effect; if you want to run something in to the ground so that you can build a shiny privatised replacement in the smouldering crater, making working conditions intolerable and cutting wages to get lots of the staff to leave is a great way to achieve it.

we'll have to winkle him out of there like a recalcitrant barnacle.

 

[Artaxerxes]

NHS staff have been leaving the NHS in droves because of pay for years, only so long you can save people's lives and work insane shifts for buttons.

Boris Johnson government in ‘scandalous’ breach of Ministerial Code

Exclusive: Large payments to Johnson and ministers have been kept secret for months – fuelling controversy over lavish Downing Street refurbishment, and much more

www.opendemocracy.net

 

[stavros]

Isn't the Ministerial Code optional? Johnson and Patel certainly thought so a couple of months ago.

Good article here from Rachel Shabi. It isn't solely about the twat-in-chief, but also covers the media enablers:

Opinion: Boris Johnson is not liberal, his draconian party is wrecking Britain

Is it too difficult to spot authoritarianism when it comes from the ideological camp that you sit with?

It's more a set of guidelines than actual rules, apparently...

But it is in its way a really poor article, calling on journos to write more liberal articles to hold the government to account.

Isn't that what they all say when they get found out

Very odd comment.

Looked at either way; Johnson's death would liberate the nation from the consequences of covid or the malevolent narcissist claims to know how long he'll survive.

He loves the huge projects doesn't he. Perhaps he could call it the Garden Bridge £50 million spaffed up against the wall for that one and no results whatsoever.

Now, now, I'm sure some consultant friends of his benefited somehow...
