PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Argonia]

Government has lost the vote for parliament not to sit for a few days next week, to allow their conference to take place without being interrupted by MPs being needed in the house.

Isn't that seven votes out of seven lost under De Pfeffel?

Oh dear, what a pity, how sad never mind.

its not like they do any meaningful business at thier nuremburg rally, its just an opportunity for showboating and that. Pointless given whats going on.

Who is this bloke? Have seen two twitter threads on here from him today with insider info but no clue who he is and the way he writes/his fairly low follower account doesn't suggest journo

I doubt Johnson has heard of that one, far less be planning to observe it

 

[Proper Tidy]

Turns out he writes books about corporate social responsibility or some business bollocks

I think so, they could go on record as the only government to loss every vote, which is probably why they don't seem to want to call a vote of no confidence in themselves, it would be embarrassing doing so, but imagine going on to loss it.

In my experience, most businesses pay lip service to that. Looks good on annual reports to say you're doing something but that's about it.

I'm very cynical today.

I don't know but he says he is a Lib Dem.

that's a bloke with the same name. Not entirely convinced its the same bloke as he doesn't seem to have mentioned 'his' books on his twitter.

Ah I assumed same bloke as a nick tolhurst (author) appears to write about brexit stuff for the appropriately named reaction

 

[Proper Tidy]

Ah wait there, it is the same bloke and according to the canary he used to be an official in foreign office under tories. Won't link cos it's the canary.

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.

Yeah, that's why I'm making the distinction. The line about Britain edging towards fascism that I've seen from commentators and others is overdone. But yes, absolutely, social media misogyny and death threats are appalling. And yes, particularly yesterday, Johnson was feeding it.

I think he's an appalling opportunist, increasingly willing to use almost any weapon, including stoking things up about traitors. Given that pretty much on the toss of a coin he could have been backing remain lays bare his opportunism. He'll lie and cheat without blinking an eye and he's got many of the tools of the populist. I'm just making the point that the likes of Paul Mason going on about fascism are wide of the mark.

I think there is a lot of exaggeration, especially from the remain camp, about various pie in the sky outcomes. I also think there is a huge risk of physical harm to particularly women MPs. And i am furious that he wont recognise this, the humbug cunt.

I've been raising my eyebrow at this one too. I'm betting on it being bollocks.

I feel very cynical speculating about this, but if there are physical attacks or say brexit related misogynist graffiti on female MP's offices, it could be a very dangerous moment for Johnson (needless to say, a rather more dangerous moment for the women MPs and their staff). In that sense at least, he is certainly playing with fire.

Whilst the rape and death threats against female politicians are of course appalling, the sad thing is there's no sign that this will lead to any real change in the abuse women more generally suffer on social media.

He doesn't care. He never has to face repercussions in his life. Things that happen to the people are irrelevant. Its a toxic mix of extreme narcissism born into a world of extreme privilege.

 

[StoneRoad]

oh, there's nice.

and !7,4 mill is not a majority.

It's a game to him. That thing from his sister above says as much - 'he obviously enjoys being prime minister'. It's not about doing stuff, it's about being something and enjoying being that thing.

He's clearly not going to apologise for anything at all. It's straight out of the Trump playbook. He doesn't care if half the country thinks he is a total cunt.

That puts it better than I was trying to do. And shame on the rest of the fuckers who are willing to back him up. Think I've just seen 2, no more than 3 tory MPs willing to express any anxieties about yesterday.

 

[andysays]

Technically he's an NCO, not an officer.

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

You're not a squaddie, you wouldn't understand

I'm loathe to start lining up behind Johnson's sister, but still, pretty rare to have family members seeking to attack the PM. Oh, hang on, John Major's gnome manufacturing brother Terry was a bit of a loose canon...
