I was thinking, it would be wonderful if at a press conference, if he didn't answer the question ,the next journalist would ask the same question and so on, and if he tried to leave someone had locked the door so he couldn't.

More of a modern Lord John Russell.
"We are starting to hear some bizarre autarkic rhetoric, when barriers are going up, and when there is a risk that new diseases such as potato blight will trigger a panic and a desire for market segregation that go beyond what is rational to the point of doing real and unnecessary economic damage, then at that moment humanity needs some government somewhere that is willing at least to make the case powerfully for freedom of exchange, some country ready to take off its Clark Kent spectacles and leap into the phone booth and emerge with its cloak flowing as the supercharged champion, of the right of the populations of the earth to buy and sell freely among each other.
And here in August 1846, I can tell you in all humility that the UK is ready for that role."

Journalists should have hounded him with that speech there for the last 18 months about his vision of himself as free trade superman forcing the UK to be that one brave country willing to sacrifice all for the right to buy & sell. but all they did was ask about sir can we have a normal Xmas .

If nothing else, the past 12 months have shown that Boris is alas unsinkable. I mean he literally said he wanted bodies to pile up in the streets rather than lock down, hundreds of thousands died or were left with long-term health problems. And what did he do? He divvied up the money that should have gone on PPE and care to make a bunch of his mates richer. Half the media were on his side and spreading misinformation, and the other half were busy both-sidesing between the spin and the truth.
The worst part is that people know there is no effective opposition and that the government does not give a crap. Doubt there is anything one/we can do any more except watch the horrors unfold. Each day I walk around my flat thinking that maybe I am predisposed to seeing the bad, but how can anyone watch the events of the last year and think yeah, but this time we'll be fine.

He hasn't invaded Iraq and Afghanistan at the behest of an American Republican President.

Covid-19: PM and chancellor self-isolate after rapid U-turn
It comes after anger over "VIP testing" allowing them to work following Sajid Javid's positive test.

I recall the G20 summit when Trump was openly snubbed by a quartet of world leaders (Macron, Merkel, someone else I can't recall and fucking Johnson), Blatantly sniggering with a clear 'we are the in group' while you are just upstart scum' at Trump (and the dreadful Ivanka in her frilly dress). That shot, as Trump walked past (ignored and humiliated) with Johnson, leaning into Macron, looking every inch the bully, stabbing his 'ally' Trump in the back with a display of arrogant superiority, has stuck in my mind. I forsee the exact same looks being directed at Johnson, now a pariah, a bumbling imbecile, his 'legacy' in tatters, exposed as a charlatan, a scumbag, but most importantly, despite the Eton superficial gloss, NOT 'one of us'. That will hurt the piece of shit. I want only to see him publicly rebuffed as the spiteful , incompetent narcissist he surely is.

Now you've got me picturing what if Johnson had won the 2001 General Election with his 80 seat majority...
After 9/11 his cosying up to GWB would be so sickmaking that Blairs fawning would look dignified.
Whitehall would've filled up with consultants with close ties to PNAC.
The lies about WMDs would've been more extravagant and even less believable.
The army wouldn't just have faced shortages of equipment, but what equipment they did receive would've been provided by the Defence Secretary's cousin at incredible prices and made of papier-mache.
Johnson's plan to deploy a squadron of Spitfires to Helmand Province would've been quietly dropped after the development costs (paid to his mistress's brother) spun out of control.

Frankie Boyle on Johnson, some years back: He's the sort of person who 200 years ago would have died aged 30 leading a cavalry charge into a volcano

Look out, he's got a gnu!
The man is a coward and a bully, he'd be the sole survivor of any charge over the bloody fields of colonising something or charging the Hun because he'd miraculously come down with a bad back when it came to be time to take a risk.

i'm reminded of the bit from blackadder the third where the prince regent tells blkackadder how much the public love him, that they shouted 'we hail prince george' when he appeared in public. only for blackadder to put him right by saying they were shouting 'we hate prince george'

Here's the vaccine's minister trying to defend Johnson and Sunak's initial 'one rule for them and no rules for us' decision: Radio 4 Today (it starts at 2.12.20).
It shows both the stupidity of that decision and the inability of anyone in government to take responsibility, to provide an honest answer to a question and to actually apologise.

He had in tow the cocky little sheeny Johnson, whom I never could stomach. He was pathetic, really, trying to behave like the Young Idea when he was well into greasy middle age, with his lovelock and fancy vest, like a Punjabi whoremaster. They were saying that he had spent longer "arriving" at Westminster than a one-legged Irish peer with the gout; well, he "arrived" in the end, as we know, and if I'd been able to read the future I might have toadied him a good deal more, I daresay.

So they're protesting because "freedom day" has turned out to be a damp squib ?
They're clearly causing serious unease, alarm or distress - isn't there a new law in place to have the police put a quick end to it ?

Think they are protesting to get Julian Assange let off the hook. TBF, he is a bit of a self-isolation pioneer, so today's a good day to thank him for his service.
