PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Sue]

An Johnson pic doing the rounds on twitter today...a number of points of interest and, as an aside, that's put me right off Daunt books (again).

Is that one of the kids we know about? (Poor wee soul.)

 

[Teaboy]

If it was his own arm wouldn't his hand be thumb down?

And his suit just one colour.

 

[stavros]

Since you can see both of Boris‘s hands it certainly is someone else’s! His left hand is holding the kid‘s foot.

Johnson has three arms, to compensate for his lack of spine.

 

[Chilli.s]

Unfortunately he does have a spine, also unfortunately, it's attached to his head

 

[Artaxerxes]

The foreshortening there makes it look as if it's someone else's arm steadying the child. Mind you, I wouldn't put it past him.

Pestons arm sticking out of Boris arse - which, tbf here, is a actually a nice change, he's normally fucking useless.

Poor is one thing that kid will never be. Nor will he be anything other than a product of the Etonian system. His life, as regards being a decent functioning human being, never got a chance

It is someone else's arm. His left hand is tightly around the child's left leg. Plus the hand on the child is a right hand, clothed in a darker jacket than Johnson's.

Yep; staff.

My theory that there may have been a mix-up which resulted in Hunter S Thompson accidentally becoming God has yet to be disproved.

hmm Hunter would of thought boris was a cunt

The idea isnt that he likes whats happening, its that whats happened since his death does read quite like the gonzo journalism fabricated version of events on campaign trails he was covering.

edit to add a quote from wikipedia: Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 - Wikipedia

This position of portraying the campaigns as much as a media compilation of the stories they wished to cover instead of the presenting all the stories that occurred was widely recognized as depicting a previously unspoken truth. Frank Mankiewicz, McGovern's campaign manager, would often say in later years that the book, despite its embellishments, represented "the least factual, most accurate account" of the election.

Boris Johnson’s former adviser works for a company that won millions of pounds in Government funding – at the same time that it donated £20,000 to the Conservative Party.

Hydro Industries, a water technology firm, was awarded a “convertible loan” from the Government’s Future Fund scheme last year, which was meant to help businesses “facing financing difficulties” due to the pandemic.

But in the same month, the company donated £20,000 to the Conservative Party

Cathy Gardner lost her dad to Covid last year. His death certificate just says ‘probable COVID-19,’ because he was never tested. Her dad was supposed to be in the care of the state, but like thousands of others he died as the Government allowed Covid to rip through our care homes.

Cathy is now taking legal action against the disastrous policy to discharge sick patients from hospitals into homes without testing them first. Her case has reached the High Court – and it’s heartbreaking.

In May 2020 Matt Hancock the former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care claimed the Government ‘right from the start…threw a protective ring around care homes’. This was simply untrue. Good Law Project has exclusive access to the evidence – and it is horrifying.

The Immensa scandal – in which the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) found at least 43,000 people may have wrongly been given a negative Covid test result – is a powerful further reminder of the harm that can result to public health from opaque contracting arrangements with unsuitable counterparties.

As soon as the company names are shared with us, we will publish them.

If one of those companies previous expertise turns out to have been in manufacting novelty Nixon masks then my theory staggers towards conclusive proof.

I found this, which looks genuine, other than Owen Jones and Ash Sarkar being in there.



Andy Bell has obviously got tired of waiting for Erasure to come back into fashion.

If it was his own arm wouldn't his hand be thumb down?

And wearing the same colour jacket as the rest of him.

Failures of State review – never forget the Johnson government's Covid disasters

A damning assessment, by investigative journalists Jonathan Calvert and George Arbuthnott, of the handling of the pandemic by the British government

www.theguardian.com

Some acts of negligence are, like that serial Cobra truancy, already well known. Still, there is a value in having laid out before you just how costly, for example, Johnson’s thrice-repeated delay in introducing lockdown proved to be. Three times it was screamingly obvious that the public would have to stay at home if the virus were to be reined in, and three times Johnson waited and waited: in March, in September and again this winter. The authors cite Imperial College modelling, which found that over the course of the combined 68 days that Johnson hesitated before imposing those three lockdowns, the number of infections that spread across Britain totalled 4.5m. “On each occasion, he had been advised to act immediately.”

PM resists calls to activate plan B as daily Covid cases top 50,000

Boris Johnson says numbers of infections are high but ‘within the parameters’ of the predictions

www.theguardian.com

Daily Covid-19 cases have risen above 50,000 in the UK for the first time since July, as the prime minister resists calls for the government to activate its backup plan.

Official figures on Thursday put the number of positive tests at 52,009 as cases have continued to rise. The last time cases were at this level was 17 July. Daily data also showed 115 people died within 28 days of a positive test.

Boris Johnson told broadcasters during an interview in Northern Ireland on Thursday that he would not be switching to “plan B”.

The PM said: “We are continuing with the plan we set out in July. We are watching the numbers very carefully every day.

“The numbers of infections are high but we are within the parameters of what the predictions were, what Spi-M [modelling group] and the others said we would be at this stage given the steps we are taking. We are sticking with our plan.”

The Office for National Statistics, which has been doing research involving testing in the community, said that the number of people infected with the virus is at its highest point since January, just after a lockdown had been introduced.

We are witnessing democide

We know what he thinks. He'd rather the 'bodies pile high'. And his poll numbers indicate he is getting away with it.

National hero. Delivered Brexit, saw off Corbyn. And of course he survived covid too. What's not to like.
