PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[AnnO'Neemus]

Led by Donkeys showing the hypocrisy.

I'm not generally a violent person, but that makes me want to punch him in the face.

Steve Taylor, a psychologist, has analysed Johnson The darkness of Boris Johnson: a psychologist on the prime minister's unpalatable personality traits No surprises really. He displays traits of the so-called 'dark triad' of psychopathy, narcissism and machiavellianism, plus so-called 'dark factor' traits of spitefulness, moral disengagement, entitlement and egoism. "In an ideal society, there would be measures to restrict such people’s access to power".

Generally speaking, I'm of the view that the very kind of people who seek political power are the very kind of people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it.

That's exactly what my father used to say, and something I adopted myself.

Someone said to me years ago, 'Anyone who wants power, doesn't deserve it.'

I've never seen anything to make that untrue.

Another iceberg has rocked up

Full article - archive.ph

Simon Case, the cabinet secretary, has been told of previously unseen messages suggesting that Carrie Johnson held a law-breaking gathering in the No 10 flat.
The head of the civil service has been sent a letter indicating that there was another event in the Downing Street flat that has not been made public.
The disclosure, just days after the publication of the Sue Gray report, threatens to reignite the partygate scandal. Boris Johnson has spent much of the past week trying to draw a line under it and shore up his leadership with an extensive economic package.

i suspect we have only seen the tip of the iceberg and now Johnson has thrown all his junior staff under the bus, this stuff is going to keep dripping and dripping out and the pile of 1922 letters will continue to get bigger

 

[LeytonCatLady]

That's excellently what my father used to say, and something I adopted myself.

DOUGLAS ADAMS: It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Think they missed out "tosspot"...

Boris Johnson accused of acting like a 'tinpot despot' over partygate cover-up claims

The Lib Dems claim reports that Downing Street put pressure on Sue Gray to dilute her report reveal an attempt to cover up "lies and law-breaking" - but Number 10 sources have denied that details were edited.

Cheeky fucker stole that from my father.

Hopefully this week enough will be in.

Just in time for the Jubilee.

A quadruple mixed metaphor in a single sentence. Bravo.

Heh.

 

[belboid]

Cheeky fucker stole that from my father.

Adams stole it from...probably Plato. It is as old as the hills and is still recognised in parliament - when a newly elected Speaker has to be dragged into office because only those who don't want the role are worthy of it. (ceremonially, anyway)

 

[not-bono-ever]

Hang in there boris, you are doing more good than you think

 

[pseudonarcissus]

Happy 1st wedding anniversary to Boris! (ie, 1 year since he married Carrie, obviously not his first wedding..)
Anyway, I hope she is having a nice romantic evening...if twitter is to be believed, it won't be with BoJo.

I wonder how long it took before she asked herself "Why the fuck did I marry this tosser?" I bet they still had wedding cake left.

 

[steveseagull]

You would think that the first anniversary they would be doing happy family shots for the compliant media. But that would depend on whether she has buggered off or not. Perhaps wanting Dilyn the Dog's neck snapped by a level 15 commando might have been the tipping point.

 

[xenon]

She probably knew what he was like. Why this idea that she’s some innocent. Don’t get me wrong all the attacks about it’s her fault XYZ is happening are sexist crap. But there’s no reason to suppose she’s just been duped or something.

 

[stavros]

Heh.

Amazingly, despite the pixelation, Patel's smugness still manages to penetrate.

Just in passing, the return of pounds and ounces is not just an act of cynicism, it's also a sign of the tories losing their populist instincts. It's a kind of mystical homage to some lost brexit, but ultimately something nobody at all gives a shit about nowadays. And also a way of pissing off the shopkeepers of olde England (or it would be if it actually happens).

tldr? It's a dog whistle, but when the dogs hear it they say 'wtf?'

 

[Humberto]

He's a fucking disaster for the country tbf. One side of the coin: corruption, oppression and executive power grabs. The other doing peoples' heads in about nonsense and crowd-pleasing appeals to the cretin demographic.

 

[elbows]

As far as the BBCs crap political soap opera commentary goes, they are feeling the need to hedge their bets again, perhaps considering that they misjudged Johnsons safety when the Gray report came out. Because we initially got a 'Johnson safe for now' article, but now we've got one that goes on about the number of letters again (eg ' "My hunch is it's in the high 40s." So says a Conservative MP to me')
and talk of half term being a relevant moment.

From this:

Partygate: Boris Johnson looking safe - for now

Tory MPs say they don't want the PM to go, but several more political challenges await him.

www.bbc.co.uk

To this:

Partygate: How much political danger is Boris Johnson in?

After the report into lockdown rule-breaking, political editor Chris Mason assesses the PM's future.

www.bbc.co.uk

Not that any of the further revelations in the press make it into this commentary, and Mason appears every bit as shit as Kuenssberg when judged by these two reports. A load of shit about pinning the tail on the donkey and "but hang on" sentiments.

 

[philosophical]

On Kuenssberg anyway. Taking over the Sunday morning slot is unlikely to be any good. I watched the interview with the Russian ambassador yesterday with Clive, and for all sorts of reasons it was riveting, but a major reason was Clive.
Kuenssberg couldn’t get close had she been doing that interview in my opinion.
