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

Nice - another thread brought to you and paid for by the Labour Party. I hope they paid you well OP, you deserve it after doing all that research.

People will vote for the Conservatives in spite of, not because of, Johnson. The alternatives are unelectable - financially illiterate, anti-semetic Labour, led by a friend of Hamas and Hezzbollah or one policy LibDims or Green with bonkers policies.

Anyone contemplating voting Tory is either an idiot or evil

It takes one to know one.

I'm rather enjoying the incredible wealth of pro-Johnson copy-and-paste contributions that deflect and distract from Johnson's failures - it must take some resource to develop a library of such depth of content.

Surely amongst all of those articles there must be some that actually show what a decent, well-rounded chap Johnson is and what an excellent grasp of economics, politics and social issues he has - or is it full of his usual wiff-waff about that Marxist bloke Corbyn and his unaffordable commie schemes.

Strange how Johnson, aided by Raab and Javid, apparently knows the cost of Labour's plans down to the last million or so, yet he's unable or unwilling to say what his plans entail and what they will cost - which is somewhat important given his unfortunate tendency to get the numbers and details wrong (see Cable Car, Garden Bridge, Buses, Brexit and NHS, Withdrawal Agreement and NI customs paperwork and many more examples)

Here we go again 🙄

It's called Google - but don't forget my mind-reading ability - I had a feeling we would be discussing Churchill's bust and The Mash Report today. Wink

Off out soon anyway.

Clav loves a bit of google, although I think she has some hot Tory topics saved to her desktop Grin

I don't actually know how to do that. Grin

Corbyn is only seen as a communist or extreme socialist by our media. In Europe he is boringly left of center.

"From his style to his policies Mr Corbyn would, in Norway, be an unremarkably mainstream, run-of-the-mill social-democrat. His policy-platform places him squarely in the Norwegian Labour Party from which the last leader is such a widely respected establishment figure that upon resignation he became the current Secretary-General of NATO."

I was impressed that he promised in his election campaign to keep tube station ticket offices open, and once elected shut hundreds of them.

longwayoff · 17/11/2019 18:44

He and Michael Gove are 'friends' again, after snakey Gove's 2016 betrayal. It's hard to choose the most fabulous of the two so I'm putting off a decision in the hope of seeing a final betrayal. Hard to choose.

WarmSausageTea · 18/11/2019 08:29

This reminds me of that expression about judging a man by the company he keeps. They deserve each other.

ForalltheSaints · 18/11/2019 08:40

So he will forgive and make contact with a man, but ignores Jennifer Arcuri. Which is another example of his attitude towards women.

Cam77 · 18/11/2019 09:10

Johnson, the man who can't even give a straight answer to how many children he's fathered? I'll pass, thanks.

Cam77 · 18/11/2019 09:12

Just for comparison sake - imagine a female leader of a political party refusing to acknowledge her own children. I'm sure the electorate would be deeply impressed.

longwayoff · 18/11/2019 09:35

Bring on Jennifer Arcuri. Hell hath no fury etc. She sounds very upset indeed.

TheQueef · 18/11/2019 10:24

She's on VD now.

That's one way of putting it. Personally I think sexually incontinent scumbag is more accurate.🤷‍♀️

Jeremy Corbyn?

ForalltheSaints · 18/11/2019 15:25

Jeremy Corbyn's behaviour was 40 years ago, not last week. Not that I am voting for a party led by someone who does not act promptly against anti-semitic comments when made by any of their members.

He was 29/30 at the time - that's still older than some of the examples quoted for BJ.

He allowed the publication of the comments but didn't actually write it himself. Hopefully the clicky link will work

Usernumbers1234 · 18/11/2019 16:28

Ok and that link also clarifies that even the people he allowed to write the comments didn’t actually “call the victims of Hillsborough whinging scousers” either.

Glad that’s cleared up. Snowy111 is indeed a liar.

Cantdoitanymorehelp · 18/11/2019 16:48

Usernumbers1234 is it ever appropriate to call someone a lying piece of shit? You would have come out of this looking better if you had been a bit more polite.
