PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck me, what is it with this man and massive projects to cross water?

 

[Badgers]

BJ has found a use for Grayling. What could possibly go wrong.

Exclusive: Johnson considering building bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland

Could he not arrange to winch Northern Ireland over?

Beaufort's Dyke - Wikipedia

That's what could go wrong.

v. interesting, I'd never heard of that.

I'm confused by the use of the word "dyke". I'd always thought of a dyke as an aboveground construction to hold back water. this is a below-ground, naturally occurring depression, filled with water. did "dyke" then refer originally to an impediment of some sort? or is it a reference to the shape, as if you rose Beaufort's Dyke to the surface it would have the shape of a (very large) dyke?

*scampers off to research*

Just the man for the South Atlantic mega project.

huh. so originally it meant "a ditch" and by transference "the mound of dirt dug out of a ditch".

Johnson is making life pretty easy for the snipers.

How much did he waste on the garden bridge, £43million. This has the potential to well exceed that on the dreadful assumption that he remains in power for a little longer.
It smacks of his airport on an island in the Thames Estuary.

what particularly astonishes me about the tory party accounts is how they spent £936,000 on fundraising and raised £755,000

Their (Mr Creosote) donors obviously have expensive tastes.

I imagine they're getting more than the income declared through back channel deals and 'influence'.

Court of Session rules Parliament suspension unlawful.
Judges rule Parliament suspension is unlawful

Just came here to say that. Great fun. It’s put a smile on my face. What fresh madness? The commons resits despite the prorogation?

Scottish ruling does not include an order to lift the suspension, because there's a supreme court hearing starting next Tuesday. Shame, I'd have ordered the suspension lifted just to see the look on BoJo's face at being ordered back to work.

Various opposition politicians, on the basis that there's been ten days lost to fucking about already, let's get a wriggle on.

I'm trying to think of any scenario where I would cheerlead for parliament tbh. Maybe if I was transported back to 1642 by a DeLorean
