Meanwhile.... Russia quietly started WW3 The good news for Boris is that the outrage caused by him not buying his own wallpaper has stopped people discussing the tens of billions of pounds of taxpayers' money that dishy Rishi lent to non-existent companies to help them through Covid
Those parties do sound proper rave ups to be honest. I’ve been to a few lively parties in my time, but I’ve never been so wasted I had to launch an enquiry to find out if I was there.
You all got that out of your system yet? So, is it the Conservatives doing politicians being politicians, and getting dealt with when they get caught out, or the old anti-Semites, anti-islam, mad and hateful as a bag of frogs Labour who still can't sort out their issues with racism after, possibly, decades. I'm afraid, given the fact that the Labour party will continue getting caught out for being naughty (e.g. their virtue signalling in light of their mask-less/distancing less night club parties at conference) just as the Conservatives will, that just seems to leave us with the really nasty stuff. So Labour still unelectable, and Conservatives best of a bad bunch.
More leaks showing Johnson hosting a Christmas quiz. In addition to the covid restrictions - I haven't seen anyone point out that this time last year we still hadn't finalised the Brexit agreement. There was less than month to go, no Brexit agreement, in the end it got voted through between Christmas and New year with ministers not bothering to actually read it. And for the month before the government were doing ******* zoom quizzes? **** me. I'm too busy at my job to waste anymore time doing ******* zoom quizzes with the team. Yet the government managed to fit in Christmas parties and quizzes during the most critical time of recent history for the country?
Agreements are for EU suckas. It's not like we were going to keep to it, why waste valuable quizzing time reading it. Huzzah!
BoJo showing again what a clown he is. Utterly incompetent. But then that is symptomatic for nearly all politicians regardless of their affiliation. It's a shocking state of affairs.
De Pfeffel speaking live at 20h00... EDIT: I remember many, many moons ago pointing out that if the answer's De Pfeffel it must have been a really f**king stupid question. Apparently now the answer's Liz Truss...
(Per HIGNFY Twitter) It wasn't a quiz, it was an urgent COBRA meeting to establish which Irish singer songwriter had a 1990 hit with Nothing Compares 2U.
All of his actions are an embarrassment. He has singlehandedly undermined the messages and advice recommended by medical professionals who also saved the idiot's life. You know what most people are like. Dumb. If someone else is doing something stupid they don't think we won't do that as well BUT if they are doing it so will we. Lemmings.
Magnificent. More evidence of the left having turned right. The people with the most to gain from all the prattling about parties and quizzes, are lapping up the fuss being made. Those people are all the “detestable” right wingers who believe they will gain from pressure being put on the Government. The left are currently enabling the right by their hatred of Boris. Reminds me of the pathetic days of all the lefties masturbating over the possibility that Johnson would become the shortest serving PM ever. Rejecting serious issues for silly childish symbols of ping pong ball victory. Manipulated is the word I use to describe it.
Madcap Tory MPs falling over themselves to condemn their own Government as ‘Stalinist’ and ‘authoritarian’. Pure comedy as it is left to the Labour Party’s Wes Streeting to explain that the Government are not Nazis and it’s not the 1930s. You couldn’t make it up.
Even the Spectator (De Pfeffel is an ex- editor) is turning on him: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/can-boris-johnson-take-back-control-of-no-10 EDIT: Plus the sight of the European COVID Research Recovery Group gunning for De Pfeffel is a joy to behold.
Interesting how quickly this has turned. Just after the last GE there was talk of a Johnson era, at least two Parliaments. Now we are ready to put up a ‘next Tory leader’ thread. Fundamentally this comes down to the side of Johnson’s personality that people have warned about for years, his deceits, his superficial charm, but lack of loyalty or candour, his bad faith in any negotiation or transaction, the notion that the rules don’t apply to people who can make it to the Bullingdon Club. It’s also about the inconsistent promise everyone everything nature of his project, to be a tax cutting libertarian and (allegedly) a redistributer of wealth, when it’s all simply and obviously about your own power.
That "...the small but vocal woke brigade...". The only way to ignore defeat them is through parliamentary legislation? It's PC gawn mad I tell ya!
Listening to the radio this morning and a caller said that he still thought Johnson was the best choice to lead us through our darkest hour. Asked by the presenter why, the caller said that he didn’t know any of Labour’s policies. When pressed on which Conservative policies he supported, the caller could only mention ‘borders’ and Brexit. He said he didn’t like Starmer as he was ‘boring’ and when pressed on whether ‘boring’ was what we needed right now, the caller said:- ‘I don’t like that Angela Rayner either, she’s just angry all the time.’ Thickos and the cult of personality.
It's definitely a problem with modern politics in the UK. Too many people see a general election as some kind of presidential election. It's not helped by the media concentrating too much on party leaders rather than party policies and the issues facing the country. I wish more people looked beyond the colour of rosettes and personalities and voted based on what the candidate in their constituency is saying and the actual manifestos of the party they represent.
101 Morons. The new film from Disney starring the 1922 club. As for @sydney_horn we already know most of the public have the average intelligence of a gnat. Let alone the ability to assimilate information and critically evaluate it. Voting for most is an irrational emotion driven decision. Which is where politics get us. Going forward slowly. As I have oft repeated scrap the whole charade and lets get a logical, futurist set of planners who do not have dogmas to peddle. As for voting material nearly all of it ends up in the recycling (I hope) bin. And in any case most of the time the promises are not worth the paper they are written on. People get upset by election programmes forcing reality TV to a later slot. And then of course there is the perennial my dad voted Labour and his dad before him. I'm voting Labour again. Or always have been a Conservative, always has been in this area. I'm not going to change. The bedrock voters and thick as rocks voters.
Or sheep and the cult of personality. It's not just in this country where most of the public are dumb it's a global issue for all democracies.
It's not that he's spectacularly ill-suited for any role whatsoever in government that make him appear like a useless bullshytting sack o'shyte but a conspiracy of the "...Mayites..." (no seriously) making him look like a sack o'shyte.
