Just that really and, inspired by another thread, why do so many people dislike him?

Not as far as I could throw him, the guys a totally untrustworthy sleaze

Egghead68 · 01/11/2019 17:11

Absolutely not!

greenlavender · 01/11/2019 17:11

No. I cannot see how anyone could.

chemenger · 01/11/2019 17:12

Corbin strikes me as a basically honest man well out of his depth in his position. I imagine you could have quite an interesting conversation with him. I would not want to meet Johnson, he’s just not appealing in any way.

dreichsky · 01/11/2019 17:14

No.
I can't see why anyone would trust him, even if they would vote for him.

WeArnottamused · 01/11/2019 17:15

What the numberfaker said

GreyGardens88 · 01/11/2019 17:16

Bloody hell, no. An overall horrible person, him and his crooked cabinet of stooges can go to hell

PortiaCastis · 01/11/2019 17:19

He's a fat bastard lying creep so nope will not trust him and will not vote for him or his crooked cronies

MaxNormal · 01/11/2019 17:22

God no he's a pathalogical liar.

DontCallMeShitley · 01/11/2019 17:22

No. I don't trust him. I also thought Cameron was a tosser.

Alltheprettyseahorses · 01/11/2019 17:22

Trust Johnson? TRUST Johnson? He's as truthful as the Sunday Sport and as dodgy as Roger. He's also a nasty, racist piece of work. I'd rather trust the Hatton Gardens gang with my gold watch.

Hingeandbracket · 01/11/2019 17:23

No
and
I'd trust BJ more than Corbyn.
Is utter bollocks

Fatshedra · 01/11/2019 17:23

Dont' trust any politician.

user1497207191 · 01/11/2019 17:23

No, but I trust Boris more than I'd trust Corbyn.

It's like being given two guns and asked which gun you're going to shoot yourself with.

Karwomannghia · 01/11/2019 17:24

I voted the wrong way initially but was able to change it now I know YANBU means you don’t trust him! He’s lied repeatedly. He couldn’t deliver Brexit as promised. There’s simply nothing to trust.

alibongo5 · 01/11/2019 17:24

Another one here who got it wrong and said YABU because I thought you were implying he was trustworthy.

I wouldn't trust him at all. With anything. I thought I disliked Thatcher but I do believe she believed in what she was doing. Johnson only believes in doing what will benefit him

I really, really, really dislike him. I can hardly stand to watch him or listen to him. I always swear when I do.

Notonthestairs · 01/11/2019 17:25

I trust him to lie.

Karwomannghia · 01/11/2019 17:27

He has absolutely no conviction when he’s talking, even in his own stupid ideas. He’s a complete embarrassment. As well as being a sexist racist arrogant fuckwit. With shit hair.

WeshMaGueule · 01/11/2019 17:30

Who has cheated on his wife

who was the OW in his first marriage.

MarshaBradyo · 01/11/2019 17:33

Other politicians probably think it’s important that people trust them and that they are telling the truth.

He seems to belong to the type of people who do not think this matters and that they will still win with a saying anything /lying and people know it strategy.

ginandbearit · 01/11/2019 17:34

Hes not stupid at all but is very immature in some ways and has yet to be really held to account or punished for his bad behaviour. He seems to believe he has a magical right to office and can laugh or shrug off his most blatent lies as no one forces him to address them . He's a shit , a moral desert and coward, but amazingly seems untouchable.

CravingCheese · 01/11/2019 17:35

Of course not. But I don't know whether that means YABU or YANBU in the vote...?

Karwomannghia · 01/11/2019 17:38

YANBU cheese

LakieLady · 01/11/2019 17:39

I distrust him so much that I wouldn't believe him if he told me the time.

John1971 · 01/11/2019 17:43

I’d rather be dead in a ditch.
