PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[bluescreen]

There's a debate raging on Twitter now about exactly what Harri meant when he said 'Dydy e ddim yn glown i gyd'- whether it translates as 'he's not all that clownish' or 'he's not a complete clown', with Welsh speakers pointing out that it can't mean the former because 'glown' is a noun and the sentence could even be translated as 'he's not a clown at all' depending on emphasis and context - and so on...

Nice one for your first day, Comms chief!

They double down on the Saville stuff.
Surely even those wankers who support this Tory shower are not buying these weasel excuses.

 

[Santino]

I mix him up with Hari Seldon

Given what we already knew, this was inevitable.

 

[Dogsauce]

This Starmer/Savile thing isn't going away, is it...

Stops people talking about the parties I guess. Almost like that was the intent.

It fits into their narrative of 'Tory good, Labour bad'.

if you put the cctv in chronological order you can see the people who went for starmer came out of downing street

It might be the intention, but the important thing is whether it works.

It's beginning to look as if the technique of distracting from problems isn't working, as the things that are being distracted from bubble up again a few days/weeks/months later, and even the things which are being used as distractions end up damaging him.

There doesn't need to be one obvious killer blow which finishes Johnson, it could come from the accumulation of smallish things, none of which are big enough on their own, but from which he never gets a chance to fully recover.

'Strong and Stable' was Theresa May's mantra iirc. Odd that they would reference that.

Nostalgia mode: I'm old enough to remember when Harry Ramsden's was a coach trip to West Yorkshire.

Further Nostalgia Related Derail: their website says they now don't have a restaurant in West Yorkshire.

As you were.

Did they not use to boast of frying with beef dripping?

Yes. Which ruled out me ever eating them

You haven’t lived till you live opposite a fat rendering plant. We lived along the road from the UK’s biggest supplier of lard and beef dripping for the nation’s friers.
You won’t believe how many rats lived there.

I genuinely believe it's why I didn't get into fish until my 20s.

Anyway, giving JRM any role within the Cabinet is the last role of a man losing it.

Went to a local chippy a few years ago and he was saying how clean the chip fat was and how he changed it every day or couple of days and how disgusting it was that chippies didn't change their chip fat for days on end. His chips were fucking rank though

On a sadder note Mac's chip shop in Redruth, which was my favourite of all the ones I've been to in Cornwall, has closed down

if he's going to have a go at extracting the fat pig johnson from downing street then i wish him joy of the venture

Well the stuff from Kuenssberg some days ago about Rees-Mogg and Spencer were true, except that they've been shuffled rather than ditched.

I'm not really sure making the now former chief-whip the leader of the commons is going to go down very well.

Brexit opportunities. Moving the family wealth abroad. Oh hang on, he done that sometime ago.

Looks like a polling bullet in the foot, FWIW.
