PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

His comments on drug consumption, LOL.

Yes. It highlights the contempt for truth and for mining communities in one brief sentence, plus when people think of how the mining communities have been abandoned and left to rot it doesn't bode well for any genuine levelling up in the north or anywhere else.

Aw, come on, that’s not fair, they’ve got the shiny new Amazon warehouse (mostly staffed by overseas labour) and a few dead-end stubs off a roundabout that counts as a future ‘business park’

 

[equationgirl]

He doesn't give a shit about mining communities, the North East or anybody apart from himself. I doubt he gives a shit about Carrie or their children. He certainly made that clear when his second wife got cancer.

Yes. The entire north. One warehouse and a roundabout. I rest my case.

I can't help thinking this will come back to haunt Johnson, it being along the lines of a ratner moment

He's had a lot of moments, though and still he haunts the people

They’ve left a few of those concrete drainage pipes stacked up next to the roundabout just to make it look like they meant it.

No chance.

 

[brogdale]

No chance.

Yes, the evidence thus far would suggest that you're right, but all politicians run out of support in the end.
That comment might make it that bit harder to sustain his improbable electoral support from the former coalfield constituencies.

 

[Pickman's model]

No chance.

I don't suppose it will echo as much south of the wash as it will above it. But in the former 'red wall' constituencies I suspect it'll play really badly for the Tories, whose levelling up agenda is unravelling anyway

I doubt he got a lot of votes from still disgruntled ex-miners' families in the first place. Maybe a few that were Brexit focused but I doubt anyone who'd be upset by what he said would have oted for him in the first place.

There's two things here, the one about his attitude to the north which I suspect will lose him votes due to the utterly insubstantial nature of his levelling up agenda - and the other, more important, where people who didn't vote may be motivated to. It may as you say go nowhere. But it may be one of those instances where an off the cuff comment gains a surprising traction and the more I think of it the crasser and stupider this remark seems, even for a politician who commonly comes out with the crass and stupid.

Some of the latest Carrie is pregnant again discussion has given me a "well of course he wouldn't wear a condom" mental image, which is obvious in hindsight, but I really could have done without it.

This is the sort of post that should be behind the spoiler code

Exactly this. He has had many moments over the years yet he has still managed to get where he is

He has to be trolling surely? Surely..?

 

[existentialist]

He has to be trolling surely? Surely..?

As with so much of what Johnson does, he walks a line between trolling and being real. If he gets too much pushback, he can back off, "hahaha, I was only joking"; if he doesn't, the outrageous claim will quietly stand unchallenged, and resurface later.

I swear I read that his adult children don't really speak to him.

shame they don't speak to us
