It immediately reminded me of the strangely similar 'delivery' (AJ's favourite word after all) provided by the mistress of the bizarre rictus grin and the improbable lengthy pause. Of course. A performance modelled on our delightful Foreign Secretary and her homage to pork markets and cheese. Oh I know we've all seen this before but one more view won't hurt. If you don't.....(now jut your jaw Liz) ........that...is...a...DISGRACE! Enjoy.
If there was any doubt before there is none now that BJ is an utter winker. An unmitigated disgrace for a PM. A man without a moral compass, empathy, shame and without any of the virtues that characterize good leadership. Those that continue to support him are of the same ilk. I do seriously wonder if the right to vote ought to be restricted listening to some of the idiots fished out from the general public today. Boris led us safely through the pandemic apparently. It was all down to his wisdom and sage advice to others. Do these morons live under a stone or do they watch too much Turd Island ? Led ? The man no more led than I deserve a prize for Physics from the Nobel Committee. It never ceases to amaze me the memory spans of most and the gullibility of others. Fingers crossed after two thumping by-election defeats this serial liar will be out on his ear.
He’s like the nation’s toxic boyfriend. Gaslighting and telling people to move on. I can’t put into words how much I hate the lying, waffling haystack of ****. Same goes for the swivel eyed, chinless ****s he’s surrounded himself with.

I was thinking that the other day when my own honourable member (ie d**k), Oliver Dowden was on the radio spouting shyte about something or other. Here was a politico who seemed destined for very high office: ultra-safe seat, sensible on Yerp, an understanding of the various communities that make up his constituency and a hot beard wife. What happens when the de Pfeffel omnishambles finally goes off the rails? Will he be collateral damage, as he was one of the enablers-in-chief, or will a quick "...I'm sad that you think that I failed you..." do?
"Alexa, show me an example of the Westminster bubble". Just look at the replies. People who made sacrifices, including being unable to say goodbye to close family and friends, are genuinely and justifiably angry. If this fool thinks these people are being political then he is just not getting it.
Let’s never forget this is the fella who refused to watch England games during the Euros because of players taking the knee. That kind of patriot. If the staged voter contact is true, he should be suspended from Parliament.
If Oliver Dowden had bodies under his patio that would barely register a surprise in me. I think he could be the worst of the lot.
In case anybody didn't pick up on cahuntybollox' reversal on his Covid experience from "I nearly died, NHS saved my life" to "it was really mild" check this out. The guy (Marcus Ball) is very annoying but also very forensic and very dogged. https://twitter.com/MarcusJBall/status/1533804622049071106

So Nadhin Zahawi allegedly threatened YouGov's CEO when their polls for the 2017 GE were showing the gap was narrowing; https://twitter.com/chriscurtis94/status/1534451799511408641?t=OJHA6tWoQ3og3XTiJN8eGw&s=19 How did we end up with this rancid corrupt lot in charge of our great country?!
FWIW When the "...4 litres..." claim came out I remember being puzzled by it (double eyebrow raise) and asking my clinical colleagues who, to a man and woman, all assumed it was a misprint/misquote that was repeated by the innumerate and scientifically illiterate media. https://twitter.com/MarcusJBall/status/1533804341387223042
My dad lost his younger brother and sister in a three week span, the former to Covid and the latter to cancer, and complied with the restrictions. The emotional cost was beyond high. This utter **** can go sit on a lemon juice coated spike and swivel.
It would be fascinating to know how historians of the future will analyse this the decade from 2015. I personally blame almost everything on the Labour executive committee for wanting to ensure that the left wing was represented in the 2015 Labour leadership election, and thereby getting Corbyn onto the slate. Corbyn's election meant that Labour did not fully engage on the remain side in the EU referendum, which had a very fine margin and disastrous results. Corbyn then led Labour to two GE defeats which has taken us to where we are today. Defeat for the Tories in either of those elections would have taken us on a very different path. In 2015 Corbyn was up against Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham. If either of them had won the UK would be a very different place now.......
Are you more angry with Boris for introducing the ludicrous lockdown rules that stopped your father from spending time with his brother and sister or for flouting them?
I’m not sure why you think they were ludicrous given that almost every country on earth did the same, many far more harshly than us. Boris gets plenty wrong but it seems harsh to level this one at him.
I personally thought the lockdown restrictions were a dreadful intrusion on our freedom and a hysterical reaction with more negative implications than positive. Most people disagree!
PMQs signalled the utter lack of insight into his behaviour Johnson has. Most questions were met with outright mistruths, the same double-counting on nurses and hospitals, the same nonsense about record investments, the ludicrous statements about the economy being the strongest among comparative nations when it’s clear our growth is one of the worst. Everyday we get told that this is a ‘tax-cutting’ party. A parallel universe.
It was a dreadful intrusion on the personal freedom of those people during lockdowns one and two who slipped away on a ventilator. 100k plus. Had the spread not been curtailed then that could have been doubled/trebled easily. Without question. Freedom or life was the choice then. After the vaccine (and new treatments) was available, the balance changed until where we are now.
Even if you think the restrictions were wrong, so the misdemeanours of less consequence, do you not feel appalled at the obvious lying? It’s not the first case either, the flat, Cummings etc. all lies.
I know you do. And that’s a perfectly legitimate position. But it seems a bit of a stretch from that position to say that the restrictions were “ludicrous”, especially given that they were far from unique. Anyway, probably beside the point for this thread.
From what was happening on our doorsteps, mainly France and Spain, we had a massive forewarning about what was coming, so could have locked down 2 weeks earlier, saved a significant number of people from death and long Covid and would have meant we could've made a cautious re-emergence sooner. Even now people are failing to take even the most basic precautions, hygiene/mask wearing in enclosed areas, despite it still being bloody rife. Much of this selfish attitude directly stems from the actions of Johnson and the majority of his bloody party.
I'm not defending the greased piglet. Breaking the law is breaking the law - even if the laws are daft.
I knew this would come back to bite them on the arse. MPs lack of pay restraint doesn't really give them the moral high ground when condemning the pay demands and potential strike action of various groups of working people.
OK I'll think of a better word than ludicrous! After I've finished writing to Spear & Jackson to see what they're going to do about their 'guaranteed for 10 years' garden fork that snapped while I was digging with it this afternoon!
