PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

I miss the old days when 3 new threads would be started by people who couldn't be bothered to check first and then we would have multiple posts asking for them to be merged and 2 would be and the third left to be resurrected by idiots and trolls every few years.

oh you are right we can bump bojo threads from 2007
 
Nothing really happens on these threads when there's important stuff going on - it's just people posting stuff they read on the guardian live blog or on twitter and doing the :eek: smiley, with the occasional bad joke. Whatever though, we're all just killing time.
you can be proper depressing sometimes y'know, but only cos it resonates / is true
 
I guess it works for some. Important events existing within hundreds of pages doesn't sit right with me. Especially if you haven't the time to keep up with these behemoths.

Yeah agree. It's a bit shit, if you want to find out say about the resignation of a cabinet minister, which would have had it's own thread before. Tralling past dozens of posts copied from twitter etc is non optimum.

Now we have the Bandwidth thread where people post the same picture 2 posts below the first and then someone else posts it a week later.

While I do have some sympathy for that argument, as was said upthread, it can be equally frustrating having three or four threads on the go. Then you've either got people posting the same stuff, so a) you keep seeing the same stuff again and again, while b) also having three different conversations happening about that, and/or you've got people posting different stuff and you can't remember which thread it was said on.

Can be a right ol' mess!
 
Queer Twitter's not happy, apparently he's a motivated trans-basher. He was also playing with woke-bashing not too long ago banging on about the "cultural vandalism" of using more lgbt, disabled and ethnic minority writers in school curriculums.
