To remind you how fabulous Boris Johnson is

[Snowy111]

It’s an old clip but he’s on top form.

Go Boris!

Did anyone mention Darius Guppy

Yes. Boris himself in the Eddie Mair clip. Eddie referre to him as Darry-us, bojo referred to him as da-ry-us.

What a fucking knob.

I can't believe he's in charge. And that David Brent party political broadcast is so fucking cringe.

I can't cope.

Tory MP Keith Simpson gave a startling view of Johnson "at the end of the day, he will always let you down." 20th June, LBC

Another day, another person feeling let down:
Jennifer Arcuri: ‘I’ve kept Johnson’s secrets – now he’s cast me aside like a one-night stand’

But at least she got to go to some nice places with him and her company pocketed £126,000 of taxpayers' money along the way.

Dreadful man.
The sooner he is ousted from No 10 the better.

Clavinova there’s an article about him breaking the ministerial code here

Very similar to what I posted though - your link says; "Mr Johnson did not tell the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) that he intended to write for The Telegraph again"^ - you accused him of failing to declare income - there's no evidence of that in your link - he was no longer a minister.

Restarting a Daily Telegraph column is probably quite far down the list of ministerial code breaking.Google tells me that Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and George Osborne have all been accused of breaking ministerial code as well.

Clearly paid trolls or bots were being used to monitor Twitter for the words “Boris Johnson” and attack anyone expressing a negative opinion of him.

Oh yes, I'm clearly a paid troll intent on attacking people.
Posting, "I don't think that's correct either" is such a mean and nasty comment to make.

I hope the OP recovers from their delusion before December 12th. Mr Johnson is unfit even to be an MP.

If the OP is a woman then even worse, as Mr Johnson's attitude and behaviour towards women is disgraceful.

I love Eddie Mair's response to Johnson's "I haven't seen the documentary yet".

"Well it happened in your life".

Remind me what the brilliant Eddie Mair is doing now?

^"Clavinova why are you acting like a story I told about something that happened years ago on a completely different website is about you?"

You were clearly implying that I was a paid troll/bot - or at least you wanted other people to think I was.

Just looking at the Emirates Air Line - I don't think it was a disaster, it was clearly an asset during the London Olympics;

"In that early six-week period it recorded 674,515 journeys, with many people using it to reach sporting events."

1.3 and 1.5 million journeys in 2017/2018. It's situated 5 minutes from the O2 - judged to be the world's most successful concert venue in 2018 (ticket sales).

Transport for London 2018;
"We expect the Emirates Air Line to continue to cover operating costs and contribute towards its original construction costs over the next five years;

Mumsnet seems to be quite a left wing website

Forallthesaints I am the OP and I completely agree with you. The OP is tongue in cheek!

I can’t stand the man and am embarrassed for the UK that it’s more important for many voters that he makes people laugh and people don’t seem to care about his lies, cheating, racist comments, and absolute lack of integrity.

Actually I posted after reading the OP without reading any of the rest of the thread.

She didn't write much!

Lovely piece on Boris Johnson by Max Hastings.

Haven’t seen mentioned on the thread where Boris Johnson suggested Obama’s ‘part-Kenyan heritage’ was an issue.

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-suggests-part-kenyan-obama-may-have-an-ancestral-dislike-of-britain-a6995826.html

And can we add his reference to ‘bum boys’ added to the list, please?

@Clavinova

Of course the cable car was an asset for 6 weeks during the Olympics, but since then it has barely covered its running costs. No transport system that is running at 10% capacity can be viable.

Remember, Johnson promised that it would not cost the taxpayers a penny - but it has already cost taxpayers over £24 million, plus over €9 million of EU money that also comes from the taxpayer. Once the Emirates sponsorship runs out in 2021 it will be interesting to see how viable it remains. Most of the users appear to be tourists, just as was the case during the Olympics. The taxpayers of London hardly use it and have got very little out of their £25m.

It's a classic example of Borisnomics - something that looks great, makes a statement and which is supposed cost the taxpayer nothing ends up costing over twice the original budget (£60m as opposed to £25m) and ends up costing the taxpayer millions.

Why, do you like Johnson or something?

No transport system that is running at 10% capacity can be viable.

And yet Transport for London said this in 2018;

"We expect the Emirates Air Line to continue to cover operating costs and contribute towards its original construction costs over the next five years."

So these days you need to be a leftwinger not to approve of underhand dealings with Russia, attacks on parliamentary sovereignty, money wasted on vanity projects, close contacts with fascists, and arranging to have journalists beaten up?

Boris isn't a Conservative in any known definition of the term. He does not believe in frugality, he does not believe in the rule of parliament, he certainly does not believe in independence of foreign nations. He believes in Boris. That is about as far as his political vision stretches.

Warmsausage that’s an interesting article you linked to by his old boss

“Dignity still matters in public office, and Johnson will never have it. Yet his graver vice is cowardice, reflected in a willingness to tell any audience whatever he thinks most likely to please, heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later.”

So true

Haven’t seen mentioned on the thread where Boris Johnson suggested Obama’s ‘part-Kenyan heritage’ was an issue.

Don't think I've heard that one before - what he actually wrote in context;

("As President Obama lands in Britain to convince the nation to stay in the EU, Tory big hitter Boris Johnson urges voters to think big–and back a Brexit.")
("And he tells Barack Obama, we can better friends than ever before.")

"Something mysterious happened when Barack Obama entered the Oval Office in 2009."

"Something vanished from that room, and no one could quite explain why."

"It was a bust of Winston Churchill–the great British war time leader. It was a fine goggle-eyed object, done by the brilliant sculptor Jacob Epstein, and it had sat there for almost ten years."

"But on day one of the Obama administration it was returned, without ceremony, to the British embassy in Washington."

"No one was sure whether the President had himself been involved in the decision."

"Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British empire–of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."

"Some said that perhaps Churchill was seen as less important than he once was. Perhaps his ideas were old-fashioned and out of date."

Clav, what you just pasted, what Boris Johnson wrote just confirms my post. Are we supposed to be reassured by the context in which he suggested that Obama’s part-Kenyan heritage was an issue?

I live in a very safe tory seat. But regardless, I'll be voting Labour, as will DD. Despite not liking Corbyn very much. But Johnson is a walking disaster area.
