PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[two sheds]

And we know there's widespread abuse of MPs' expenses. Another fruitful part of the cost cutting exercise.

 

[Wilf]

Bump.

 

[Bingoman]

Bump.

I forgot about this thread lol

It's the news (BBC, Sky et al) fawning over his imminent return from holiday.
Ignoring that a standing member of Parliament fucked off in the middle of a Cost of Living Crisis.

But....the rough, terrible, part of me wants him to get in, just to get fucked over by Christmas and probably destroy the party.

Yeah, I definitely want johnson to get 100 nominations and then the job. With him it goes from utter chaos to meta chaos, comedy chaos, chaos on stilts on chaotic steroids. I don't think the tory party will split, it just stays there filling one of the positions in the fptp system. But johnson back in power and facing the standards committee edges towards there being small factions splitting off etc. There will also be individual tory MPs losing the whip as they defy his 3 line whips.

But yeah, I thought that as well. The fucking twat just decided he's have a holiday.

Imagine the outcry if other people with fixed holidays (like teachers say) just decided to fuck off when they felt like it.

 

[Karl Masks]

Surely he'll just override the standards committee or threaten those tory members with some nonsense.

I'm not saying I agree, but I can see there being an argument that a workplace would grant you a leave of absence after an event that is likely to seriously impact your wellbeing that you need to recover from (e.g. being publicly humiliated as you have to resign from your 'other' job because most of your services users and colleagues don't like you... ).

I can't imagine he was granted a leave of absence as he'd surely have to ask permission for that which really doesn't seem to be his style.

'Thanks for filling in as deputy manager, but unfortunately you didn't get the job. You'll have to go back to working on the tills. Oh, but here's a couple of weeks in the Caribbean'.

I don’t think he will destroy the party. I think if he wins the vote (he will) he’ll put the brakes on and tread water for a while, allow cooler heads to do the hard work of making things settle while he gladhands his way around other world leaders, building his and the UKs rep there.

Once things are more settled he’ll pull out the stops and roar off down the highway like Mr toad. Until then he’ll lean back a bit.

He’s not an idiot, we all know that, and he really really wants to be in power, and so does the party. They’ve fucked everything and they may be “out of fresh ideas” but they now have this convenient crisis to handle. They’ll pretend like it’s has nothing to do with them (“it was Truss, it’s Ukraine, it’s them/ that over there”) and the electorate will say “give him a chance, he’s not had a proper chance, he had to deal with the pandemic the first time, let’s see what he can do when he has his head”.

Being a lying cheating piece of shit doesn’t matter. Those days are over. Nobody who would vote for Johnson cares about that.

So he’ll be reined in while Sunak puts the economy back together, and then let him have his head in time for the next election. Which they will win.

Opinion polls are just a way for people to say they’re pissed off. Everyone knows they don’t mean votes, or even support. Polls are the only way to say “Hey! You lot! I disagree!”, that’s the only reason Labour is polling high right now. If it was polling for a GE it would be much closer.

We seem more able to lie down and take this shit than we are to stand up to it. We are taking it right now. Thatcher broke our solidarity. Austerity 1 compounded that. We’re looking down the barrel of Austerity 2 and we will be the stoic little soldiers we have been trained to be, complaining about the cold and hunger and looking out for each other while people starve and weep for their pride behind closed doors.

I’m out of hope now.

I don’t see anyone coming up through Labour who could conceivably be a better leader than Starmer is. And Starmer so just so shit. He hasn’t even been able to score with an open Tory goal to aim for for weeks and weeks. He’s been so shit as opposition that’s he’s fucked our chances of winning a GE.



I’m wondering what people will do at Christmas. Will we pay for Christmas on credit cards? There’s no money for bonuses, people won’t be able to afford to travel to see family, it’ll be gifts or treats not both. People are saying they plan to put the central heating on as a treat for Christmas.

 

[Duncan2]

Didn't he go on holiday earlier in the Summer?I remember him being in Scottish islands not that long ago.But yeah I suppose we shouldn't judge the jetset by the standards of the working classes who probably average one foreign holiday in ten years if they are lucky

Yes, he’ll find a way to get around the problem. And he’ll be facilitated in this by his supporters.

 

[Wilf]

Yeah, I don't think the committee will ever boot him out. They wouldn't do it as it would look like overturning the 'will of the electorate' or similar nonsense i.e the committee would be 'frit'. Sametime, anything that undermines the whole parliamentary shitshow is good for me.

Day three now of them breathlessly telling us that Johnson is rushing back to the UK.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment but no good will come of it. If the whole Parliamentary shit show is undermined it just becomes even more dysfunctional, but it will continue to stagger on regardless. The system will tear itself apart in its efforts to continue existing.

 

[Duncan2]

Don't usually spend money on the Guardian but it was claimed by la Toynbee that whereas in real terms wages rose between 2002 and2018 by just over twenty per cent in both France and Germany they were stagnant over the same time bracket in the UK.This accords with my experience it could be correct I find it astonishing if true.

 

[Duncan2]

That was a bit milestones on the road to York soz

 

[story]

Well it just shows up as bullshit this claim that it’s happening everywhere .

 

[Duncan2]

Christ if he does get in he will be in our TV screens in flak jacket and helmet literally until doomsday (or PCPS)

If the cunts can bring back Johnson surely Corbyn should be dusted off and thrust back into the fray?

 

[Wilf]

Charles Windsor to Truss: 'oh, you're back again'

Charles Windsor to Johnson: 'one is fucking speechless'

'Until doomsday' doesn't actually feel like that long atm.

 

[not a trot]

Surprised the cunt didn't get off the plane, and head straight for Downing Street. Who needs leadership contests.

 

[Lord Camomile]

'Thanks for filling in as deputy manager, but unfortunately you didn't get the job. You'll have to go back to working on the tills. Oh, but here's a couple of weeks in the Caribbean'.

Aye, both fair. I just imagine that'll be the line from him and his supporters.

This.He will practically be the Emperor if this goes through!

King, for a day.

That would be way too long.

I was thinking yesterday about the fact that if schoolkids have holidays during term time their parents are fined. But this wank gets to be away for weeks.
