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

No

HoneyandSpice · 01/11/2019 19:20

Nope. Not one bit. He is a proven liar. And as far as 'all politicians lie' is concerned... where on earth do some people draw the line? I honestly despair.

I saw post last night which was 'he's an idiot, but he's our idiot'
Well done. Hope your kids will be safe in the knowledge that you are so informed.

iklboo · 01/11/2019 19:23

About as far as I can stretch my flaps.

HoneyandSpice · 01/11/2019 19:24

iklboo Briliant!

mbosnz · 01/11/2019 19:24

I trust him about as far as I'd trust my FIL. Which means, not one iota.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 01/11/2019 19:35

No I don’t

He certainly isn’t a bumbling baffoon this act has severed him well and he has got the job he has always wanted

But he does win people over with this persona that he has created and I am Sure he shall win the election with a majority so not only has he got the job he has wanted all along but will also be down in history as the PM who took us out of the EU and regardless of what then happens after

BarbaraFromOopNorth · 01/11/2019 19:40

No

CendrillonSings · 01/11/2019 19:40

I trust him 100% not to be a stupid socialist like Corbyn, and that’s all that matters Smile

LaurieMarlow · 01/11/2019 19:46

and that’s all that matters

Wow, your standards are so low I have no words

Orangecake123 · 01/11/2019 19:47

I don't trust any of them since tony Blair and his weapons of mass destruction lie.

CendrillonSings · 01/11/2019 19:48

If you support the Jezziah, your standards are much, much lower...

greenflamingo · 01/11/2019 19:48

I trust him to continue behaving like Boris Johnson.

LaurieMarlow · 01/11/2019 19:56

If you support the Jezziah, your standards are much, much lower

I don’t particularly, but the comparison hardly makes sense.

This is a man who barely knows what the truth is, hasn’t delivered on any of his promises, is totally incompetent, acts like spoilt child in front of distinguished world leaders, is racist, homophobic, misogynist, totally lacking in morals.

And that’s ok because he’s not a socialist? WTAF? I can only conclude that you are totally lacking in both brains and morality. How tragic.

Jellykat · 01/11/2019 19:56

Not at all, he's blatantly lied so many times now and doesn't give a shit..
no integrity whatsoever!

GoodwithRocksandGems · 01/11/2019 19:56

No not at all. Awful, lying, spoilt, entitled man.

rainingallday · 01/11/2019 20:00

So if I DO trust him is it YANBU or YABU?

rainingallday · 01/11/2019 20:02

@LaurieMarlow

Wow, your standards are so low I have no words.

Not as low as YOURS if you prefer Corbyn.

Boris is nowhere NEAR as bad as Corbyn. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear people saying they like and support him. Utterly bonkers.

Sewingbea · 01/11/2019 20:04

No. I don't trust him at all.

lljkk · 01/11/2019 20:16

The more people diss Corbyn (ridiculous claims) the more I find myself warming to Corbyn. I've never doubted Corbyn's principles, anyway.

Problem with BJ is it's so well proven that he's an insensitive selfish misinformed liar.

DustyWindows · 01/11/2019 20:33

No. I absolutely do not trust him. I’m embarrassed that he’s our Prime Minister.

TheVanguardSix · 01/11/2019 20:35

No.
And I won't vote for him.

WTAF? A proven, serial liar. A racist. A misogynist. A serial cheat. A spoiled child in his reactions to being crossed. Then there’s the stuff his sister told us about his mates betting on the economy failing and him, as PM, working to deliver that. To deliver economic disaster so he and his mates can be richer while he’s paid to deliver the best for the country, to represent his constituents and get the best future for them. It’s un-fucking-believable that he isn’t in jail for all the shit he’s done. Illegal campaign for leave. Lying to the queen and unlawfully shutting down parliament to get his own way.
FFS how on earth can you think Corbyn is worse?
Fuck me some people make me fucking angry.

Epicwaffle · 01/11/2019 20:59

I ‘trust’ him to 1) Not be Corbyn
2) deliver the current brexit deal.

Other than that ? No, not particularly, as I don’t usually ‘trust’ politicians in general. Unmitigated trust in any politician is a fools errand imho. That said, I do ‘trust’ (loaded word 😬), him marginally more than the others at this point in time, for the reasons I have stated above.

What a time to be alive. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lonelycrab · 01/11/2019 21:01

Agree with @cardibach. It’s seems perspective, along with experts has gone out of the window.

PurpleDaisy2114 · 01/11/2019 21:02

Hell no
