PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Teaboy]

What I am still fucking confused by is that De Pfeffel says he will obey the law but won't ask for an extension to Brexit. Surely that would now be breaking the law?

Just won't ask for the extension, get pulled up by the courts for acting unlawfully, just shrug and say you were following the law as it was understood. Lots of arguments but no deal has already happened. Inevitable election and Johnson wraps himself in the flag of St George as the destroyer of parliament.

Odd scenario but given the way this government has been behaving its possible.

Yeah, he's up to something.

17th October seems to be the important date in this regard.

I dont think I would trust this regime to find loopholes that dont close around their necks at the first opportunity.

I bet he's giggling to himself like muttley, thinking he's oh so clever.

He's been doing that since becoming PM, but it's not exactly working out as planned.

Nah, not possible. There would be appeals to the EU above Johnson's head if this were to be attempted. No way the EU would ignore such appeals - they could cast it as helping people in the UK to defend democracy. Johnson would properly fuck himself if he attempted that.

Well you learn something new every day...

Crikey. That's a bit of a nightmare scenario.

Surely he can just call in sick on the day.

It's very confusing, it appears...
MPs suspect Downing Street has found a legal loophole to ensure Brexit on 31 October

Given that nearly as many people voted to remain as to leave, achieving Brexit was always likely to be a problematic and divisive development.

But for Brexit to be achieved by deceit and chicanery (okok, via a "loophole") can only guarantee that the divisiveness will be greater. Whatever happens in regard to Brexit will be the start of some serious work to rebuild a massively divided country; the task of reintegrating the two positions will be massively more challenging if the outcome that is achieved was achieved via trickery.

At one level, remain MPs are milking it with the 'Johnson has put us in danger' stuff. But then there's shit like that. Hope she quotes it back to Johnson in Parliament.

After the London riots some years ago didn't some guy get sent to jail for 3 years for trying (and failing) to get a riot going?

People often claim that online abuse against women is exaggerated or just plain made up. So they should read his tweets and ask themselves if they would use such language to the women in their lives the next time they voice an opinion.

they've been claiming that (or similar) every other day. Meaningless tosh.

If you felt as though your life was in danger, you'd probably 'milk it.' Especially when your colleague was murdered. The tweet above is not a coincidence and is probably far from a rarity. Johnson is a disgrace.

No need . Ministers keep on telling us the negotiations with the EU are making progress

Unspecified progress, it must be said. He was repeatedly asked about it last night and evaded the question every time.

Technically he's an NCO, not an officer.

Sass will be along shortly to explain why this is all harmless banter.

The government has lost the vote for parliament to go into recess, to allow their conference to take place without being interrupted by MPs being needed in the house.

It's just a joke, remember /sarcastic mode
