To think I cannot stand a WHOLE MONTH of Hunt v Johnson?

Is it always this long???

I wouldn’t care but it dominates the headlines and programmes, it’s hard to get away from.

Result won’t be announced til 22 July!!

I agree the time taken is long. Hope you can enjoy Wimbledon and avoid the news instead.

However, if it means no Mr Johnson as PM, well worth putting up with.

Who is running the Country whilst this is going on? And didn't we only get a short extension on brexit happening? Isn't all this wasting time in negotiations?

familycourtq · 25/06/2019 10:19

YANBU a month of shit vs shite.

Who is running the Country whilst this is going on? Teresa may is still Prime Minister

Op - nicely, you have an off button, use it. You can choose whether to open any links. And be grateful we dont have a whole years fiasco of ticker tape bollocks like the Americans, spending billions.

MrGentlyBenevolent · 25/06/2019 12:39

Saints thanks for reminding me about Wimbledon! That will keep me sane Smile

Hahahahahaha indeed who is in charge?

It hasn't felt like anybody with any sense has been in charge of this country for most of my adult life (last 20 years). Grin

It's pathetic.

How can this take a month?

How can Brexit get to three years with nothing happening?

How did the Chilcott report take seven Years?

We seem to have developed a weird, glacial pace in public life.

I’d be happy for it to drag on for as long as it takes to discredit Boris as any kind of serious candidate for Prime Minister!
I live in Scotland - electing Boris would be a propaganda coup for the bloody SNP, and risk breaking up the U.K.
At least Hunt has been up here campaigning, and promised that he prioritises keeping Scotland in the U.K. above achieving Brexit.

Getting on my tits now we can't even vote so i have no idea why the general public need hourly updates!!!

MrGentlyBenevolent · 25/06/2019 16:17

PJs exactly! Why everyone needs to know the minutiae of it all when there’s nothing we can do about it even if we hate one of them.

Totally agree with you OP.

I could stand it if they were just constantly twatting each other with baseball bats and socks full of sand...

SaveKevin · 25/06/2019 16:35

The thing that pisses me off is the fact we don’t have a say in it. It’s constant, but it’s irrelevant for most of us.

RandomNameChange415 · 25/06/2019 16:43

Every time Operation Shaft Boris (honorary chairman: A.B. Johnson) seems to be gaining traction I perk up for a moment before I think “oh shit, that guarantees Hunt as Prime Minister”. So I say the longer the better, if there’s even the tiniest chance that something juicy will come out about Hunt, a Lebanese anaesthetist and two goats and they’ll have to give up and start again.

MrGentlyBenevolent · 25/06/2019 17:56

YoureAllABunchOfBastards Grin

Random I’m not sure if JH has ever done anything juicy.

Am prepared to be be wrong but I think Boris will bottle it somehow. I think once he sees how much hard work being pm is, and the level of scrutiny he will have to endure , a suspiciously mild but handy heart attack will give him an honourable way out. He's not up to the job and i think there's a small but growing bowel loosening knot of terror stirring in him ....one can but hope.

Pjsandbaileys · 25/06/2019 18:31

If we changed the H to a C vs Johnston it would be a much more interesting battle!! The c vs the dick 😂

NoBaggyPants · 25/06/2019 18:34

@ginandbearit People said similar about Trump, but he just won't disappear!

workfromhomequestion · 25/06/2019 18:36

I agree.

And the lies and inanities are hard to bear.

Is this what we are worth - either Boris or Hunt Confused?

Pinkmouse6 · 25/06/2019 18:41

Agreed. Not like we can vote so it’s largely irrelevant.
