PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[ruffneck23]

Well we can only hope Alexander will get it properly this time and it will finish him off...

Gove did it a month or two ago. It's clearly a special scheme for cabinet ministers. It's not like it's new that they think rules don't apply to them anyway.

True, but has the potential to offend the 'innate sense of fair-play' held by 'the Great British public' just like Cummings did.
Politically risky, I'd say; my old Mum & Dad won't like this at all, and they don't follow politics.

 

[prunus]

Fucking cunts. I can’t be bothered to say any more but this makes me furious.

 

[Badgers]

They have built the coffin and are now just hammering nails in

 

[Flavour]

This is so brazenly arrogant it really shows just how few fucks the tories feel they need to give and is, in one sense, a reflection on just how non-existent/ non-threatening the opposition are

I don't really believe in the public's innate sense of fair-play given their propensity to elect swaggering inbred toffs.

Yep; fair point, but I'm not sure that 'fair-play' necessarily equates to any notions of social justice...it's more a conservative tenet of rule-following.

The politics of lies: Boris Johnson and the erosion of the rule of law

It is truly dizzying to live in the UK these days, if you have a good memory. Life under the Johnson government means that whatever they tell you today, it will all have changed by tomorrow. Whatever you remember, it never happened like that. What Johnson did was not as it seemed, or it was...

Yeah, when Boris turns up for PMQ's on Wednesday (as he won't be self isolating), any competent opposition leader should be hammering him for this.

It just lurches from debacle to disaster. Here we are one day from freedom day and we could have managed it had we not been governed by lunatics. Now I'm reading tweets from so many people saying they are self imposing a further lockdown.

 

[tommers]

This is so annoying, my son has been isolating for about 9 days. Missed the end of his Junior school and all the leaving stuff. It's his sister's birthday tomorrow and we can't really do much for it, and I think my mum isn't talking to me cos we cancelled her coming to celebrate today.

Meanwhile, turns out we could have just made up some nonsense and ignored it.

I know it's not the same as people not being able to go to funerals etc. but fuck him. There's always a little wheedle out if it for them. One rule for us and one for them. Useless twat.

If we weren't governed by lunatics we wouldn't be one day from "freedom day"

Won't it be the first full chamber PMQs as well?

Organisations model themselves on the behaviour of their leaders. Basic management theory.

This prick either doesn't know that or doesn't care. Not sure which one is worse.

"Johnson's Table Talk" would certainly be one of the worst books imaginable, though of course there is no way they'd ever let anyone into those meetings in order to write down his utterances.

The rest of the world are crying for us. Not having a media willing to report this internally has left us in this shite position & it will only get worse.

good article, but the bolded part here is sus.

At the beginning of the pandemic, almost unnoticed by the public, the government passed the Coronavirus Act, which allows it to introduce regulations without parliamentary scrutiny.

It was pretty big news at the time. very controversial. with backbench rebellions and the government forced into backing down on including a 6 month sunset clause. the news was totally dominated by covid & what the government was doing about it.
so did people really not notice? more like they knew and were content to go along or outright supportive.

 

[brogdale]

Posted in his own thread as well; Sunak is gunning for the top job...

 

[brogdale]

Oh, so it's "official"; they've both caved.

 

[tommers]

Fucking bellends.

 

[tommers]

"even the sense that". Fuck off.

 

[ruffneck23]

Well that went well then didnt it? Fucking twats
