PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Smangus]

The problem is that this fits entirely with his methodology of dealing with scrutiny, avoid and evade at all costs. Tough it out and wait until the fuss has died down before reappearing. So even if it is true and the right thing to do (for once in his piss poor life) no one will accept it as such. It's just taken as another of his cowardly ways out.

Especially given the "convenience" of it, tough shit really, it looks like a rubicon has been well and truly crossed. This is not going away.

Yeah, like Trump they were only prepared to put up with his shit when he was seen as a serial winner to whom mud would not stick, defying the normal political equations. As soon as that factor is gone, his political upside is gone, he is a liability. And to draw a line under the affair he has to go.

There is always the chance of an unexpected turn of fortune, but the chances seem rather slim, and the opportunities to constantly drip new revelations means this stuff can stay in the news cycle for a long time to come. Johnson himself may still hope to survive by sacrificing others, but fewer tories will be convinced that any sacrifice other than Johnson himself will be enough. Its mostly just a question of timing now.

Someone has tested positive in his family. I thought the rules had changed. Take lft's everyday and if they are negative you carry on as normal. Fucking shitebag.

I think he's probably having some kind of meltdown.

He didnt respond well to Test & Trace asking him about his close contacts, and has damaged the wallpaper in a fit of rage.

I love the way Bongo's found a way of not being able to play out anymore just as all the kids on the Estate have acknowledged his big Chinny reckon.

I bet he's got his dad answering the door for him.

This morning for the first time I looked hopefully at the newspaper headlines looking for "Johnson resigns"

I keep checking and every time I'm like "ffs, still not?"

 

[Sprocket.]

It's ok, there's a Chinese spy scandal going on (that's been known about for quite a long time). Convenient to say the least.

No, look over there.

Nice to see on the BBC news coverage of the Chinese agent story the first picture was of her stood alongside Jeremy Corbyn.

The BBC Political Editor job is about to become vacant. With analysis like that, I reckon you should apply.

If someone he lives with really has got Covid that's not great, given they've got a newborn baby. I don't actually believe it's true though.

Call me a tad cynical, but if one of his kids does have it, I bet we'd have heard about it and he'd be milking it for all it's worth.

I wouldnt take that bet, sometimes these types actually value privacy, sometimes they make vulgar use of personal stuff. I dont like guesswork unless stuff comes out which makes the political use of such things obvious.

Will they make use of sympathy if something bad happens beyond simply being infected? Maybe, and I certainly wouldnt want any of Johnsons genes in this pandemic (or at any other time obviously).

I think someone's killed him and they made this announcement to play for time. You'll see, there'll be an announcement about an accident, dead on arrival etc then the whole narrative will fall apart despite Cressida Dick's best efforts

the whole story is about as believable as boris standing in a catholic church and proclaiming he been faithful to his new younger wife

In all seriousness, I suspect someone in his 'household' at the least must have it and I think they did say his immediate family. Even he wouldn't be stupid enough to make that up (I think...). However if Carrie or one of the kids actually develops symptoms, I think he'll find a way to let us know.

An interesting blog on the possibility of the Scottish Tories being so incensed by this debacle that they split from the UK party here.

What If…. the Scottish Conservatives Push the Murdo Fraser Button?

2022 is off to a fiery start as seemingly the entire Holyrood wing of the Conservatives launch into open revolt against Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Some commentators are talking about a new polit…

It would surprise me if he tried to milk one of his kids. There must be a limit to his actions somewhere

"Well, no, we didn't actually get tested, but the littlest one was so bad with it he couldn't walk. Or she. So what more do you want?"

Suprisingly suspicious that this was announced today. You'd think someone was trying to push the booze party off the top spot
