PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Badgers]

Yeah I doubt we've seen the last of the complications stemming from Biden viewing Johnson with contempt, and Biden and the USAs interest in Northern Ireland.

 

[elbows]

I also left out other consequences of Brexit, some of which take time to really reach breaking point, or have been somewhat obscured so far by the pandemic.

 

[existentialist]

If I were to predict impending doom for Johnson it would mostly be on the basis of 'what happens to the vaccine bounce if this third wave is hideous and involves plenty of hospitalisations, deaths and new restrictions?'. Or 'what happens if the Brexit-Northern Ireland stuff heats up further and the USA get involved more dramatically?'

Given that Johnson appears to have been completely immune (ahaha) to any consequences of his litany of mis-steps over Covid in 2020, I really can't see how he can fuck it up in a way that could result in a different outcome this time around - even if the NHS did collapse under the strain of a further wave, I'm sure he will be able to shrug it off with his customary insouciance.

Whatever poleaxes him, it will not be his appalling treatment of the British public.

I think that people underestimate the importance of the US and UK alliance. I am not a fan of it but two warmongering countries with huge shared financial interests is a very big deal in the toilet of commons.

I've said before that just because some shits have a reputation for mud not sticking to them and being serial winners, doesnt mean that lasts forever. It can evaporate quite quickly. Not easy to predict when their luck will run out though.

Pandemic politics is not the easiest thing to predict either. But given the number of people that have been led to believe it was safe to think that it was nearly all over, I think that if this wave is a big one, things will be much messier than seen previously. There will be consequences of note, its just a question of how much they affect Johnson. If things turn sour then there is also a very simple story to tell about the Delta variant that caused it - Johnson and his India trade deal desire leading to bad red list timing, allowing that variant lots of seeding opportunities here. Whether that becomes the overarching narrative remains to be seen. Its a story thats already been told without gaining enormous political traction, but it could resurface.

He is a lot worse than the usual Emmets in Cornwall. I will speculate he flew a Plane or a Helicopter to attend the Climate Conference.

Speculate? It’s a fact

Has Biden had a pop at Johnson, Badgers?

Do you know how to quote or tag?

Christ. Two people have got monkeypox. Not another bloody pandemic (sorry not really apposite to the thread, just saw it online and had to gush it out).

 

[two sheds]

Bye Bye Johnson. 2019-2021. It was such fun, it really was.

I'm with you on this, just slightly different timescale. I'd say by 2030 he's definitely gone

As long as Johnson pops on his jet and flies to their location in order to shake their hands, there is always hope.

edit - ah I see there are two cases in Wales, caught abroad. By the way if it helps reassure you in some sense, its not the first case we've had in this country, these things happen from time to time, eg this example from December 2019: UK patient diagnosed with monkeypox

If Bojo stepped down, Gove would be in charge. Let that sink in.

I don't think Gove has anything near the teflon-coated rubber that Boris is armoured with though; I doubt he'd survive more than a handful of fuck-ups.

 

[Serene]

There will likely be a Gove Coup happening at this point. The Gove-Goblin moral compass. With him in charge the bodies really WILL pile high.

 

[Serene]

Goblin Gove wants a one-party state. He has said that he will be starting a new ideology and that " tomorrow shall be ours"

 

[Serene]

Goblin Gove has been kept through each reshuffle by the Tories to thumb their noses at the working class. He is to remind us that someone in Parliament hates us.

 

[elbows]

This is primarily a thread about Johnson, and I wouldnt give Gove that much credit. And no need to do their work for them by hyping the bogeyman.

Point taken, and my appologies. I have been on coffee all afternoon.

 

[elbows]

Dont worry about it, no apology needed, I just didnt know if you were going to carry on! I mean I can see why Gove shows up on the radar of concern due to the 'ideologically driven' aspects of his political being, but he still has deep limitations including being Pob and being strongly associated with the current regime.

Also he has already demonstrated the ability to put his foot in it when it comes to this pandemic:

A lot of my posts are tongue in cheek, and not me being serious. I cant take things very serious most of the time.

The British public won’t scrap him but at some time the Tory men sipping brandy and cigars in private will rally up and knife him in the back.

It’ll be quick when it does happen which might be why Boris and pals are so keen on the culture war - not just keeping labour off balance but the 1922 committee to (and any criticism can be denounced as “unpatriotic”)

 

[Argonia]

I haven't really been keeping up, too busy watching crciket and getting excited about the football, but wasn't May leading a revolt on foreign aid? What with that and Dominic Cummings-And-Goings they're fighting like rats in a sack.

Does it work ?

Johnson you fucking twat.

Goves the one that criticised teachers for rewriting history and then compared the Crusades to the Salvation Army.

I'm normally not bad at noticing that sort of intent, but on this occasion I think I failed!

Ah well, I never miss the opportunity to post that video so cheers.
