AIBU but if we can put a man on the moon, we can surely avoid having Boris in No. 10...

He really annoyed me with his comments about the NI border.
As if it's something that hasn't been worked at for decades by a serious amount of seriously invested people.
His father reckons we should all just let the Irish bomb/shoot themselves 'can't recall precise quote'.
As we Irish say, show me the company you keep and I'll tell you what you are....
If that's his father's opinion, and this is becoming next PM, what on God's green earth can we do about it?

I'm aware that there are a lot of Irish in London particularly. A large percentage of the UK, particularly Northerners have some Irish heritage.

Are we going to allow this utter to write us off as some obscure celestial place....... like the fucking moon?

You'd swear he was on Star Trek or something.... Trekking to save the minions of the planet Ireland. Prick.

He's a dangerous man.

I honestly think that someone will attempt to assassinate Boris not long after he becomes PM.

I hope against hope that the growing feeling against him within the Tory government will mean that enough Tories will finally put country before party and do something to stop him, like bringing a vote of no confidence etc.

I did read (on MN I think) that Theresa May could actually recommend to the Queen tomorrow/Wednesday that she invite someone other than Boris to form a government ... is this true??

I read an article that in her resigning she has to recommend to the Queen who to invite ....... Perhaps she can just recommend anyone but Boris Your Majesty lol!

The thing is that the Queen understands the frailties of the peace between the two Islands. I know she always does what she's told, but I think (hope) she might give him a bee in his ear about learning some cop on wrt Ireland.

Could we put him on the moon? He shouldn't be able to cause too much damage up there Grin

Thump · 22/07/2019 14:03

I'd happily assassinate him. I could do my first target practise on him.

Note to all MI5 agents - that was a JOKE. I'm Irish. We joke. No need to come knocking my door down...... I have no plans to assassinate Boris....

I'd happily launch him into orbit. He could sing 'I'm a rocket man!' as he goes.......

YABU!

It took billions of dollars and the concerted effort of some of the keenest physicists and mathematicians in the world to get a man successfully to the moon and back.

Not going to happen in the case of Boris. All funds are being directed towards Brexit and our greatest Scientists and mathematicians rely on government funding and are worried about their university pensions and EU research grants so will do fuck all to construct a method of transferring him safely off planet before anyone finds out.

The thought of Boris as PM along with Trump as president- would make 2019 the year everyone looks back on and go 😂, and seriously considering the intelligence of two nations🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A little play list for Boris if your goons are reading

After listening to this song Boris, you'll find a leprechaun and a pot of gold. If a sniper doesn't shoot your fat ass out of the parachute you came in on.......

Technically, wasn't it America, not us? But the sentiment I agree with!

It took 300 years of evidence-based science, years of hard work by many brilliant people, and extraordinary courage by those involved, to put people on the Moon. Boris Johnson knows nothing of those things. He's about to become prime minister because of lies, more lies, and even more lies, and irresponsible voting by 0.03% of the electorate, mostly white, male and over 55.

I read Matthew d'Ancona's pseudo-apology for what he claimed was a very minor part in Johnson's success, in today's Guardian, which made me want to throw up.

It seems Johnson can only be stopped by a few people with some real principles in his own party. We'll need much more than crossed fingers to avoid the disaster this vile, venal, mendacious well-educated Eton ignoramus plans to inflict on us.
