hes stepped down. its almost as if they werent going to ever seriously investigate any rule breaking.


No 10 inquiry head faces pressure to quit over claims he hosted a party


brilliant timing. Johnson is blatantly just taking the piss and thinking he can get away with it . but he cant any more and he's fucked.

Dead man's shoes? It's free on All 4 at the moment. Might give that a spin think I watched it on a stream years ago as I couldn't find it anywhere.

Definitely worth your time

Or they just are that incompetent...

Central control is disintegrating. The Cabinet is rudderless. The lies are now pathetic and transparent.

Happy Christmas

My mum says he looks like Worzel Gummidge.

She makes an excellent point.

Excellent film... not exactly feelgood though

"Johnson must stay".
Out on a job last night, a radio caller said that if Johnson doesn't go, he will bring the party down with him. We live in hope.

For one wildly hopeful moment, I thought he'd been detained for his blatant law breaking! Ah well, a cat lady can dream.

 

[ruffneck23]

he really does look deflated, it's fucking great.

 

[Pickman's model]

Imagine being cornered by Johnson dumping all his woes on you. It doesn't bear thinking about, you'd reach Inverness and he'd still be in full flow

Not as deflated as he'll look once the penguins have scoffed his innards

Aww the poor tousled haired legend cockwomble isn't looking so chipper now. If only he was as concerned about the victims of covid, as keeping his job he may still have had a chance of being PM at Easter.

what the bet with him coming down with omicron so he can pissed about in his flat for a week
and avoid interviews

I really think he's had it as PM, the picture above is from the Telegraph of all places. It shows him looking totally dejected, maskless and then with the police behind him, masked and giving him the copper's eye really tales a tale in the readers' mind.

They're thinking about which staircase to push him down

 

[Artaxerxes]

Doesn't he look tired like a massive shithead

Def give it a go. It's one of a few films I can watch again and again every year or two.

The speed with which his world has come crashing down is quite something - from giving it large after returning from the COP, wibbling on about how well he'd done, to this, in just a few weeks. I love it. Did Thatcher's Downfall happen so quickly? I can't remember.

 

[scalyboy]

Bottom photo is a gem. Slumped shoulders, defeated expression, he's aged about 10 years in 4 weeks.
Oh yes you Etonian nob, where's your 'born to rule' arrogance and entitlement gone? Not so Churchillian now are we

I looked into it and it seems there were only about 9 days between her being savaged by a dead sheep and bowing out of the leadership contest. But of course in other respects her political demise was a long time in the making.

 

[Artaxerxes]

I think what's really cut Boris down is that he mastered the art of the personable photo op and charismatic #bants in the press.

Covid has shat on that, he can't pull pints and do charming fun photo ops anymore. He's a clown who can't clown and suddenly it turns out the performance is just a performance, there really is nothing under it.

I have watched it sorry that wasn't clear in my post. Watched it twice it's one of my favourite films, but not watched it in good quality is what I had meant. Planning to watch again tomorrow.

I vaguely remember being surprised when it happened, but can't recall whether that was solely because of the suddenness (9 days!) or whether there had been rumblings of discontent from her own party for some time ... I think there was surprise and joy at her finally going cos she'd been PM for all my adult life up till then, winning three General Elections she seemed unstoppable.

Just been reading this on the Wikipedia; seems she resigned on 22 November 1990, but Labour had been leading the opinion polls since mid-1989, and the widespread opposition to the poll tax, including the March 1990 riot, indicated that she'd lost her touch. Plus inflation was high and interest rates even higher. So I guess the writing was on the wall for some time, whether we realised it or not.

Might do the same myself now I've got a bigger monitor plugged into the laptop

there was a leadership challenge in a year earlier in November 1989 with a "stalking horse" - anthony meyer - some old timer tory mp who still managed to get 33 mps to vote for him. It showed there was some serious discontent brewing amongst the parliamentary vermin. the following year opposition to the poll tax was full on and reflected in plummeting polls, byelection defeats and widespread angry protests . Howes resignation and "dead sheep" speech was actually over her Eu stance and general high-handedness/ demented dictator schtick - and it triggered the leadership election that ousted her - but it was the poll tax that really fucked her.
