At today's briefing, definitely not himself.

Hes running a country through a pandemic, he also has a small baby.
I doubt he's up all night giving bottles and changing nappies. I suspect the taxpayer is funding a night nanny.

Heart of stone my arse.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/06/2020 22:17

Well, my heart is clearly stone cold.

"He's been dealt a bad hand" - no, he's been dealt exactly the same hand as every other leader across the world. Unfortunately he thinks that the odd bit of bluster and a few soundbites is all that is needed to play that hand. He also keeps pretending he's winning, whilst actually losing.

FliesandPies · 16/06/2020 22:17

Arse of stone?

NoWordForFluffy · 16/06/2020 22:18

It would take a heart of stone not to have some sympathy with Boris right now. He's been dealt a bad hand.

That must be me then! 🙋‍♀️ I have absolutely NO sympathy for him. How badly this is going is a situation of his own making. Boo fucking hoo.

sashagabadon · 16/06/2020 22:19

Thought he looked perkier today. V good news about the treatment. Well done uk scientists and nhs! And uk gov for supporting the trials financially too

He's been dealt a bad hand?? What about the rest of us trying to get through with a toxic corrupt PM and his puppet-master? The death toll, economic crash, job losses, loss of schooling, poverty, mental health crisis, cancer treatment crisis, looming Brexit crisis on and on and I'm supposed to have sympathy for Bozo Johnson?? Do me a favour.

Not that they'll get any credit from some on here.
BoxAndKnife · 16/06/2020 22:21

Dealt a bad hand??

Oh my goodness, I've heard it all now.

You can't seriously, seriously believe that Grin Grin Grin

nancy75 · 16/06/2020 22:23

He doesn’t look as ill as the 40k people who are dead because Boris is a shit prime minister

PrincessConsuelaVaginaHammock · 16/06/2020 22:25

@FliesandPies

Arse of stone?
A great big granite anus would be a more suitable PM than Johnson is.
FenellaMaxwell · 16/06/2020 22:25

He looks like an entitled, obnoxious, lying cunt - same as usual to me? 🤷‍♀️

Alsohuman · 16/06/2020 22:26

Credit for what? Being the worst excuse for a PM in living memory?

BoxAndKnife · 16/06/2020 22:27

You're correct annabel, I won't be giving Johnson any credit for the intelligence, integrity and hard work of scientists and researchers.

Very well said
TheThingWithFeathers · 16/06/2020 22:29

I don't wish ill on him healthwise, but I am enjoying the great big dollops of political karma that are being doled out to him. Theresa May must be feeling very smug (and relieved!) as she sits at home with her feet up drinking her G&T.

80 seat landslide win only months ago. What an endorsement that was.
BoxAndKnife · 16/06/2020 22:31

December 2019 was a lifetime ago, annabel.

Literally, for almost 50,000 people.

FourDecades · 16/06/2020 22:33

Poor love... it must be so hard having 5o work for a living... but at least he get's paid well to compensate.

Unlike many other's who work equally as hard and who are also at the verge of collapse due to the life-saving jobs they do

FourDecades · 16/06/2020 22:34

5o ??? To...

CeciledeVolanges · 16/06/2020 22:34

He is responsible for the bad hand. Without him, most people think Leave wouldn’t have won, and it’s been obvious for years that was going to be catastrophic for the country, although probably not for him as he’s the highest earner outside the Commons of any MP, isn’t he? Also, his attitude before the lockdown was so casual, I bet loads of people were more blasé about the virus and risked catching it. My firm were telling people to work from home two or three weeks before proper lockdown because we have overseas offices and clever people with some common sense, who could see what was coming.

I sort of think the hair is important, actually, not just because he looks awful, but because being neat and tidy is a sign of respect. I’d certainly get funny looks if I didn’t brush my hair when I came into the office, but he’s basically showing us all that he doesn’t have to bother to be smart and nor does he want to because his audience isn’t worth it. It’s a bit like waffling all over the place because he never owes anyone a proper answer.

PrincessConsuelaVaginaHammock · 16/06/2020 22:37

I'm fairly sure the 43.6% of votes cast in the GE for Johnson didn't go to him because people were happy with the way he was going to handle the covid pandemic.

SouthWestmom · 16/06/2020 22:37

He looks like someone who fucked up a mother's prospects of freedom; considered having a journalist beaten up; spouted racist language; got fired for lying; spunked £££ on a vanity bridge that was ditched, god what else?

Alsohuman · 16/06/2020 22:38

December 2019 might as well be December 1919. We’re living in a different world now.

Cailleach1 · 16/06/2020 22:41

Landslide for the Conservatives only in England. Cons don't have a majority in any other of the 'Nations'. Not even a single seat in Northern Ireland. Truly fractured representation.

Good for the 'experts' on whom the Conservatives showered disrespect.
