PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Santino]

Just like when we went through this sort of hyping up the threat in the dying days of Trump, mainstream perceptions of power matter, they massively affect how much power someone actually has in practice.

Just like that occasion, it is true that we cannot completely exclude the possibility of him trying to pull some stunt. But such eventualities are not the most likely outcome, more likely is that he really has loads less power and wont even be able to do all of the things previously announced (eg channel 4 privatisation is being touted as an example of something that may not now happen).

Even when people whose power has drained away are still surrounded by relatively weak people, the chances are that those people and the system will find it much more easier to restrain the figurehead, will find it easy to stand up to any attempts by the figurehead to make use of power that is not actually available to them any longer.

I've got a vague memory that I had this sort of conversation with you during a particular stage of the end of Trump.

I've got a vague memory of Trump encouraging his supporters to storm the Capitol on 6th January. Just like that occasion, it is true that we cannot completely exclude the possibility of him trying to pull some stunt.

Also, stop bothering women with requests for hugs, even virtual ones.

Didn't see all of the 'resignation' speech, this look accurate?

 

[Calamity1971]

I'm offended you offered hugs to Bimble alone. Some of us could do with hugs too you know.

I asked for one and didn't get it

Regarding the unhinged Daily Mail articles, when I was a teenager my bloody Dad used to get the fucking Mail delivered and I used to read it - they spent all their time going mental about the betrayal of Thatcher and having a go at the tories who came next.

And what did that demonstrate in the end? That he had lost meaningful power and that such stunts would not bring that power back, would only serve to demonstrate that there was no way back, the mainstream forces were in his way, not something he could harness, rendering him politically impotent.

They did give us cricket or something.

None of what I've been saying means I trust him to be a good caretaker or that I want to see him in that role for months. I was moaning about that prospect last night before the news agenda even moved on to that stuff. I just dont intend to overhype what he might be able to do during that period.

Nah respect there fella.

Like I'm pissed.

The Metro followed up on their 'get exit done' front page with another repurposed Brexit slogan on todays front page - leave means leave. The Mirror did the same on both occasions too, although this time its not their main headline, which is 'clinging on for one last party'.

No mention of how he got to be PM in the first place...

The message I'm taking from the photis at the bottom is Boris Johnson will be crucified

Dangerous liberal nonsense.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I've got a banging head having got carried away last night, the atmosphere at the pub was electric, there was even drunken singing of 'bye, bye Boris'.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

1 paper was using the headline “Leave means leave”

Just so long as there is no He is Risen again shite

It was the Metro, which yesterday went with 'Get Exit Done Boris', the Mirror had a similar idea with 'Just Get Exit Done'.
