Boris speaking sense

I am so relieved to see Boris stand up and say this. Hopefully other politicians will follow suit and stop being so terrified of the 1% who are negatively impacting 50% of the population

Yes I agree, if trans women want to compete in sporting events they should have their own category.

Bigkingdom · 06/04/2022 18:03

Shame he doesn’t speak sense about the people being plunged into poverty because of the rise of gas/electric/fuel/food etc.

Justkeeppedaling · 06/04/2022 18:03

Yes, well done Boris.
I've waiting for the Conservatives to take advantage of Labour's stance on this - it's about time.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/04/2022 18:12

Johnson will say whatever he thinks people want to hear and then potentially say something else tomorrow. If anybody truly thinks that he has an actual opinion or cares about any of this, they're sadly deluded imo.

Funny it’s just before the local elections ? Hmm
Saying that I agree with him and just wish Starmer would do the same. Don’t trust him one bit though. Still self serving and dishonest but no doubt lots of women will be taken in by it.

Pedallleur · 06/04/2022 18:38

And yet we know about his tank topped bum boys remarks and he is quiet about his infidelities and numerous children.

Greensleeves · 06/04/2022 18:43

I despair of the utter stupidity of the people who are crowing about this and rejoicing that now they can vote Tory, because Boris is the voice of common sense and standing up for women and girls.

Boris Johnson doesn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about women. Or trans and non-binary people. Or any other disadvantaged group. He's still the same cynical, sociopathic money-grubbing monster he was last week. He's still just as happy to see the poor, sick and disabled die like flies to protect the interests of the super-rich as he was last week. He's still the same lazy, slovenly, lying, arrogant sack of guts he was last week.

Only now he's reaching for low-hanging fruit like "transwomen are men" to try and score a few more votes from people so blinded by one issue that they're happy to sell the rest of us down the river over it. More fool you if you fall for it.

VyeBrator · 06/04/2022 18:44

What a disgusting homophobic comment @Pedallleur Angry

Whyisitsowet · 06/04/2022 18:47

I don’t think I am blinded by the issue so much as believing that once we redefine what a woman is, womens rights have gone.

Mumoblue · 06/04/2022 18:49

He may as well write “please don’t think about the cost of living crisis” on his face.

It’s just for the elections. The tories do not care about anything but themselves. Women are being heavily hit by the state of things at the moment. The tories do not care about women.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/04/2022 18:55

@VyeBrator I think you'll find it's Johnson who's the disgusting homophobe, not @Pedallleur

germsandcoffee · 06/04/2022 18:56

Not often I agree with Boris but he's speaking sense on this

balalake · 06/04/2022 18:57

Mr Johnson has said this today to distract from the National Insurance increase which takes effect today.

I don't think he will actually do anything though.

VyeBrator · 06/04/2022 18:58

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie are you trying to argue that Pedallleur didn't use a disgusting homophobic phrase?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/04/2022 18:59

[quote VyeBrator]**@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie* are you trying to argue that Pedallleur* didn't use a disgusting homophobic phrase?[/quote]
She's quoting Johnson. I'm stating a fact - not trying to argue anything.

VyeBrator · 06/04/2022 19:01

Oh that's ok then. Let's just keep using it 🙄

Brideandprejudice · 06/04/2022 19:03

I totally agree with him.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/04/2022 19:06

@VyeBrator You're spectacularly missing the point, which is that Johnson is a vile homophobe and philanderer, who has the moral integrity and trustworthiness of a dead cockroach. Please re-read @Pedallleur 's post.

VyeBrator · 06/04/2022 19:15

I think it's you who's missing the point @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie. It's not ok to use that phrase just because someone else has, no matter who they are.

Linguini · 06/04/2022 19:20

I would fucking LOVE IT if the Labour party were to come out with something like this

Women = Adult Human Female.

Come on Labour we're literally gagging to vote for you.

I simply CAN'T!

I can't do it while you continually pander to such a batshit, misogynistic and dangerous ideology, making you say you have no clue what a woman is meaning you are hemorrhaging votes from what would be natural labour voters.

Pull yourself together!!!

Ratched · 06/04/2022 19:25

@Greensleeves 👍

Spot on

Riapia · 06/04/2022 19:25

Wonder why none of the other party leaders have dared to state biological facts?
They have been asked the same question.
Surely it can’t be that they don’t know.

Or can it?

Maybe biology is a bit too inconvenient.

ZenNudist · 06/04/2022 19:30

I can't bring myself to vote tory. They sell everyone but the rich down the river and lie lie lie.

Frenchfancy · 06/04/2022 19:30

That in itself is a good thing. It means he has realised most people don't want men in women's sports. He is saying the emperor is naked.

@VyeBrator

I think it's you who's missing the point *@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie. It's not* ok to use that phrase just because someone else has, no matter who they are.
She isn’t ‘using’ that phrase

She is repeating it to show how homophobic she thinks Boris is…

You are still missing the point

That or you honestly believe that politicians shouldn’t be picked up on the words and phrases they use….once they have said it no one is allowed to point it out
