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.

@Jebuschristchocolatebar - there are limits.

dustarr73 · 19/07/2019 16:49

Come on you cant mention Irish politicians without mentioning the Healy-RaesGrin

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 19/07/2019 16:50

Any one who thinks eoghan Murphy is good looking needs help.

@dustarr73 - Come on you cant mention Irish politicians without mentioning the Healy-Raes

That sort of obscenity is just going to get the thread deleted.

Psstt - @Piglet89 - Go on. You know you want to.

It's really funny to watch how Britain went from the supposed crib of modern democracy to a parody of itself, with posh upper class taking over and the Victorian ideal of the deserving poor and the enlightened nobility ruling the society. It's like somewhere and somehow Britain stopped, reversed and is going back to the good old times of the Empire and stiff upper lip. Plus mad hair, of course.

Nannyamc · 19/07/2019 16:53

Yes the Healy reays lovely bit of eye candy

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 19/07/2019 16:53

Snip snip I get it, you’re more of a Ming Flanagan kinda gal 😂

dustarr73 · 19/07/2019 16:54

@Isthisafreename Grin

Isthisafreename · 19/07/2019 16:54

@SnipSnipMrBurgess - What about @Jebuschristchocolatebar 's sister. That requires way more help.

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 19/07/2019 16:54

What about Enda Kenny??
Get a goid mental picture now of him bearing down on you of a cold night...

Piglet89 · 19/07/2019 16:56

LOL!

There you have it - the reason Ireland will never leave the EU. We can ship Ming and Mick off there and keep them out of the Dáil.

Piglet89 · 19/07/2019 16:57

Thread = DERAILED.

Nannyamc · 19/07/2019 16:57

Yous will be watching love /hate now.
Prehaps we should get back to Boris
Thanks for a very amusing afternoon

@SnipSnipMrBurgess - What about Enda Kenny?? Get a goid mental picture now of him bearing down on you of a cold night...

Now that is cruel. I'm going to have to wash my brain out with bleach. I'm not even recommending a google of that to @Piglet89.

Isthisafreename · 19/07/2019 17:00

I think the derailment shows how little respect most of us have for Johnson. Unfortunately, it looks like he will soon be in a position to ruin what was once a great country.

mikado1 · 19/07/2019 17:02

Eoghan on radio now, he's put his foot in it!

dustarr73 · 19/07/2019 17:04

Enda Kenny now here comes the big one.

Are you all ready?

Bertie Ahern.There i said it.Grin

ghostyslovesheets · 19/07/2019 17:05

I honestly think this is the best derailment ever Grin

Isthisafreename · 19/07/2019 17:08

@dustarr73

Whispers - I don't think he's as bad as the others.

mikado1 · 19/07/2019 17:11

Apparently Mícheál Martin was very popular back in the day. It's the arrogance I think.

dustarr73 · 19/07/2019 17:13

@Isthisafreename he would go to an opening of an envelope.Anything happening and hes there.Even now,he still pops up.

PhilipJennings · 19/07/2019 17:17

I've loved every second of this derailment.

But I can't believe the Simon Coveney fan club hasn't arrived on the thread. Yet! Am I the first to show up?

PhilipJennings · 19/07/2019 17:19

Also it's probably telling that my first reaction to the "Murphy" jibe was confusion rather than registering the insult.

"But Leo's not from Cork...?"
