PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[andysays]

The sanctions imposed on Russia was always going to come at a cost to the west, surely everyone on here understood that?

Yeah, but the cost of living had already gone up massively before the Ukraine invasion, for a variety of reasons which I'm sure you're already aware of.

Now there's a danger that Johnson will be able to present it all as a result of the invasion and the sacrifices that he has decided the rest of us have to make to make him look Churchillian.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Yes, but it's now going to get so much worst, gas & oil prices just continue to hit record highs, the current price increases are nothing compared to what is likely coming down the line, sadly.

For fucking fourteen years my pay has been cut so it's round 3/4 of what it would have been in real terms in 2008. And there's no sign of anyone restoring public sector workers wages to that point, let alone an improvement on it. And people on benefits have taken a nasty cut with that £20 chopped off. So frankly psw and claimants were already looking at another shitty year already. And once again it's people who are on that boat, people elsewhere who see wage rises eclipsed by what's already happening, who'll bear the brunt and not fat pigs like Johnson or sir keithly shammer.

Oh, so energy companies' profits will be taking a hit then? I'll have to wait and see, but I'm sceptical.

It's 1915 again for Winston Spencer Johnson

They've just announced record profits

I haven't seen it myself but I hear that Johnson, on the front page of one of the Tory rags today, has apparently said that rising food and heating costs are 'the price we must pay for defeating Putin' or some such nonsense. Is this true?

who the fuck is we .. only the mps got the over 2 grand a year pay rise

fucking cockwomble that the man is

 

[weltweit]

I certainly heard him say that no country was as generous as Britain when it comes to refugees from war torn states. Which actually is just a flat out lie of gargantuan proportions.

The man is a lying fuckwit.

 

[two sheds]

Very like Trump, he thinks that him saying it makes it true.

Given that Putin is far from defeated, and quite possibly appeased, we should see no rising costs.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Yes, but we were already paying (or about to pay) higher prices for the cluster fuck that the Tories had made of the energy market.

Good news, now we're going to pay even more.

 

[Ax^]

of course petrol has raised 15 pence in a 15 days,, russia is the 3rd largest exporter of oil and one of the biggest suppliers of natural gas in the world

and we are in the middle of a serious squeze on the cost of living the biggest since the 1970's

i'm sure the national insurance hike is going to help families budgets

R4 reporting that Dross has withdrawn his letter to the 1922 Committee.

 

[stavros]

Any news on when the full Gray report will see the light of day? Have the Met progressed anywhere? Ukraine has dominated all the news for a fortnight, so I'm aware I may have missed something.

 

[wtfftw]

Yeah no. It's all Ukraine now. Everything.

If saying something made it true Johnson would have been penguin food a long time ago

How Boris Johnson’s friendship with Evgeny Lebedev deepened despite MI6 concerns

 

[weltweit]

I wonder if Johnson is pandering to his base. People who voted Brexit on the grounds of too many continentals being here are not going to be pro many Ukranians ending up here. Are there any elections coming?

Local elections soon.

75% of Britons are supposed to be eager to help Ukrainians.

He's doing it because he's got stuck in the nationalist, corrupt, grab-what-I-can-and-fuck-the-rest-of-you groove, along with the rest of the pantheon of moral bankruptcy that is the Tory party.

There will be more dead cats flung as it becomes common knowledge how balls deep he is in Russian influence, contacts and filthy lucre.

Any of his responses to the Ukraine situation seem designed to shore up his electoral base and act up as some Churchill parody. Blimpus Maximus.

Ukrainians are white it's as simple as that

 

[platinumsage]

No it's not. Comapre the support for Hong Kong citizens to settle here permanently for example.

 

[rubbershoes]

Ukrainians are white it's as simple as that

There's more to it than that. Yes, they're white, christian and European so have less of the "other" about them to alarm the right wingers.

But some see them as less likely to be wanting to settle here permanently. Giving shelter in a storm is seen by the Mail /Express etc as admirable, but as long as they go home.

Also, Russia was a bogeyman for people in the UK during the cold war and Putin has been resurrecting that, especially with Salisbury, Litvinenko etc. Enemies in Syria etc are seen as far away, despite Jihadi attacks here. Ukrainians fleeing an enemy of ours are more likely to be welcomed than Syrians fleeing an enemy we have no real connection to.

I don't think it is. A lot of the bullshit was often about not wanting (white) Eastern Europeans "coming over here, mending things and picking our fruit" etc.

I think many people see things in terms of "deserving" or "undeserving" refugees/poor... and as Ukraine is never off the news, they'll get that sympathetic response.
