"Why isn't he called Murphy like the rest of them?"

AIBU to think that Boris Johnson is not fit to be Prime Minister?

Boris Johnson questioned why the Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar isn't "called Murphy like all the rest of them?"

No doubt Johnson will have common ground with Trump and will offer the NHS on a plate as part of a trade deal.

Of course he's not fit to be PM but neither are most of the Tories. I can't think of any MP from any side who I would have as PM

HouseworkAvoider10 · 19/07/2019 13:26

He's not fit to be PM for a load more reasons, including that one.
He's a racist pig.
Worse than Thatcher.

We might have some numpty politicians in Ireland but at least we don’t have Boris (or Brexit)

ChocChocButtons · 19/07/2019 13:30

I’ll take Boris over any Leftie lovvies any day.

eosmum · 19/07/2019 13:39

It's actually unbelieveable and quite scary that they feel comfortable being so blatantly racist. What a world we live in.

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 19/07/2019 13:40

JC I didn't think I could loathe him any more than I do but that's just shown me I can. What a absolute tool he is. Please can someone wake me up from this nightmare.

So a racist, dishonest scumbag?

Says a lot about you.Hmm

ChocChocButtons · 19/07/2019 13:43

It does doesn’t it :)

It says I don’t want a labour government...

mikado1 · 19/07/2019 13:46

Ignorant man. It seems shocking that he will likely be your PM.

What about Rory Stewart? He’s hard working and sane, plus he’s not a racist lier.

You have very low standards.

He is a fucking idiot as is Hunt, and I despise both of them. Leo should have told him to fuck off!

ChocChocButtons · 19/07/2019 13:49

@GrouchoMrx not really I just know that we need someone to lead our country and Boris might actually be able to pull of brexit

The choice is between Johnson (a really, really crap wodehouse knockoff) or that guy who hid behind a tree that time

VickyEadie · 19/07/2019 13:53

Boris is a nasty, lying racist misogynist.

Brexit will ruin the country. Absolutely ruin it economically. And Boris has no more idea of how to "pull it off" (Brexit, that is) than any of the others.

LaurieMarlow · 19/07/2019 13:54

Boris might actually be able to pull of Brexit

Pissing off Leo Varadkar isn’t a particularly good strategy

Pinktinker · 19/07/2019 13:54

He’s our version of Trump really, definitely something to be proud of Hmm.

mikado1 · 19/07/2019 13:56

CoolCarrie was Leo present at the time?

Isatis · 19/07/2019 13:56

What about left-wing non-"lovvies" who, y'know, are capable of avoiding telling lies and being racists and bigots, and actually read their briefs?

ThereWillBeAdequateFood · 19/07/2019 13:56

Brexit isn’t some amazing magic trick. What’s the plan? Say wiff waff in the mirror three times and a unicorn appears.

Creatureofthenight · 19/07/2019 13:57

Jesus wept, you know it’s all gone to shit when you’re actually hoping Jeremy Hunt will be the next PM Angry

The man can't even control his own hair and you expect him to be able to "pull of [sic] brexit"? Ooookay.
