PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Pickman's model]

Yes, it's appalling. And this is why it should be a resigning matter, if they had any decency or sense of shame...

if they had any decency or sense of shame they wouldn't be tories

The idea this Geidt feller - or to give him his full title, Christopher Edward Wollaston MacKenzie Geidt, Baron Geidt, GCB, GCVO, OBE, QSO, PC, FKC - is going to come out and publicly say 'johnson lied to me' is at best... optimistic.

 

[not-bono-ever]

He’s just a spoilt arrogant man child. Fucking wanker

 

[Wilf]

By the by, I was confidently asserting there wasn't a cat in hell's chance this would do for johnson. I's still say he'll be PM for the foreseeable future, whatever that might be. At least 6 months? What I would say though is he seems remarkably friendless at the moment.

it'll be something more like there was a degree of economy with the truth in the prime minister's statements

In the long run, we are all Keynes.

I wouldnt bet anything at all that he will last 6 months.

i wouldn't bet he'd last six days

I suppose we have to factor in the fact he will take longer to spoil if kept in the fridge, and we know his preference for lurking in those.

Lies, inconsistencies, discrepancies, lack of congruity - perhaps, but keep brainstorming! How about disharmony? Good, but could we soften it a bit more, maybe stick with the musical theme? Yes, I've got it, polyphony! Sounds a bit Greek, so the PM will love that! Right, Lord Geidt, you've got to say there was merely a moment of polyphonic authenticity.

that's how he'll be spirited out of the country, in a fridge

I dunno, it's an odd crisis really. They are ahead or just about level in the polls and the opposition don't exist. We are not at the stage of rumours emerging from the 1922 Committee yet. Equally, the PM has been behaving like this all his life and in some ways his ability to simply ignore procedure/honesty/decency has been his sociopathic strength. But then the brexit fair wind is long gone and the party stuff might be a way that the voters start to connect the surplus deaths to his leadership, though that hasn't quite coalesced yet. Suppose I'm saying he's currently being buffeted by a moral/leadership/hypocrisy thing, which might do for him in itself. It's not quite yet a political crisis, or even more so, a crisis that opens up a way out of neoliberalism.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Keynes tempered his vast catalogue of thought by adding the proviso of irrational animal instinct being able to trash any idea of logic in behaviour. I dread to think what animal instinct drives the decision making of our esteemed PM. Hopefully the penguins will be able to sort that particular problem out.

It's definitely not a crisis that's likely to lead to anything better at all is it.

That said I'm still well up for seeing the cunt kicked out just for its own sake.

You might wish for the more outrageous things he's been responsible for to be the things that holed him beneath the waterline, but it's the smaller relatable stuff that does for them - and there is a lot of smaller relatable stuff landing every other hour at the moment.

He has the instincts of a sewer rat, trapped in the body of an unnatural liaison between a sloth and an albino walrus.

The 'character question' was always going to catch up with him at some point. He's been thieving and lying for decades, but taking the piss is another matter entirely.

You'd think he'd have learned from the expenses stuff wouldn't you. It's one thing to let tens of thousands of people die but getting yourself associated with grand a roll wallpaper acquired through dubious means is something else.

no, he's just a piece of despicable excrement

This piece making the point made on this thread, that things could move against him if they lose next week's by election:

Key question on Tory MPs’ minds: is Boris Johnson still a winner?

Analysis: If No 10’s Christmas scandal helps lose byelection, party may finally turn on its leader

My only thought is that there would almost certainly been a large number of postal votes, most of which will have been already posted. That in itself might hold the seat for them.

 

[Kaka Tim]

don't agree with the argument that Johnson getting the boot makes no difference - sure we will still be saddled with some vile tory shit - but it puts a limit on what they can get away with. Left in place - Johnsons will continue to do worse and worse things. See also - elections.

The PM has stretched the truth way past its elastic limit.

I suppose he is the "character" that Sir Keith isn't, and I'm sure that will appeal to some people. A leader that's a bit more.. dull... might have less of a chance against Keith.

 

[stavros]

What I would say though is he seems remarkably friendless at the moment.

I'm sure some such esteemed acquaintances as Conrad Black or Darius Guppy will still have a nice word for him.

Are any of the newspapers focussing on the MET's mad lie as the main story? shit journalism in this country.
nobody cares about who bought his wallpaper.
