To think Boris is at the beginning of the end?

[MarineBlue33]

Today he stumbled through a talk addressing business men and talked at length about Peppa Pig World

He's such an arse.

The problem is get rid of Boris & who do we end up with next? It could be Gove or Pritti Patel, can you imagine how bad that would be. The best thing is to leave Boris bumbling along & making even more of a mess until the next General Election & get the whole lot of them out. Labour are beginning to creep ahead in the opinion polls, let's hope they keep it up.

What a shame they didn't go for Rory Stewart when they had the chance.

He was spot on in his speech, Peppa does look like a hairdryer. 🤷‍♂️

He's acting crazy because he doesn't want to stand criminal charges and go to jail!

@Choux

I think Johnson wants out.

Ex PM’s get 50% salary for life + £115k a yr as public duty allowance + a government car. That’s £200k a yr plus all the public speaking, column and book writing, freebies and bungs he can get. And Carrie won't be able to bend his ear with all her ideas for running the government and country.

I'm not sure that is going to be enough to put 6 or more kids through Eton or the equivalent these days. And I think Boris has some quite expensive tastes as well.

@rrhuth "It was the worst performance since he became PM, it was really very embarrassing."

Yes but the public identify with him being like that. Sums it up really

Have a read of this & see how Boris operates reaction.life/jeremy-vine-my-boris-story/

@nancy75 a very illuminating read, thank you.

Labour's stance on trans issues can be changed. But the things the tories have already done affecting women cannot. The £20 drop in UC hit w/c women and their families, the new legislation re social care will hit less affluent northern mostly female pensioners, the school dinners charade hit single parents badly, again mainly women. But hey Labour are worse. Great excuse.

Ooo then I WOULD believe in Farther Christmas!

This is what popped into my mind when I saw the video. I believe it was all intentional.

He was the main speaker at an awards event I went to many years ago. Major event, very special to the group at which it was aimed.
The time of the event was changed in the run up to accommodate his availability.
He arrived just in time, dressed inappropriately for the occasion, and gave a speech that didn't really acknowledge the audience and the nature of the awards. He has to be somewhere else straight after so walked off the stage and out of the door.
This was years before he was PM by the way. Far better to decline an invitation that to turn up and do half a job. Well, not even half a job to be honest.

nancy75 thank you so much for the link to Jeremy Vine’s Boris story!

Boris's speech on that occasion, explaining his admiration for the Mayor in Jaws, so completely encapsulates and foreshadows his Covid ‘policy’, that it took my breath away.

I feel the need to reproduce it on the thread. The relevant bit:

“Yes. Because he KEPT THE BEACHES OPEN.”
—-
“Yes, he REPUDIATED, he FORESWORE and he ABROGATED all these silly regulations on health and safety and declared that the people should SWIM! SWIM!”
—-
“Now, I accept,” he went on in an uncertain tone, “that as a result some small children were eaten by a shark. But how much more pleasure did the MAJORITY get from those beaches as a result of the boldness of the Mayor in Jaws?”

So it was really always inevitable with Boris at the helm.

It would be ice-creams and merriment for the majority with the (vulnerable) minority paying the price.

Their stance isn't changing. They've announced lots of anti-women steps they'll take when they're in power. Benefits rates can be changed, more easily than anti-women measures.

Dream on 🤣🤣🤣

It is like comparing him as a mayor to Sadiq Khan.

Labour is a shit party full of loonies and haters.

@user1471453601

He's a fool, but a dangeous one.

Be careful what you vote for.

We elected a clown, we've got a circus. What did we expect?

The majority of us (including me) didn't vote Tory at the last election.

That is a great link nancy . I can't understand how he has gotten away with such farcical behaviour and why he is so liked even by very intelligent people.
This episode yesterday however surely shows that he can't carry on like that any longer.

He's really lost the place entirely . His circus clown act is over. Nobody clapped, Boris. You're done.

The party is sure to get rid of him PDQ. They have form on that (think how fast and ruthlessly they dumped Thatcher as soon as she became an election liability).

@TrickorTreacle

Some of us here are Tory voters. It's a fact, and you know it. It's because there is something called "Shy Tory Factor" because they vote Tory while pretending to vote for a different party.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shy_Tory_factor

Yes Bozzo's a pig, but we've had worse. Such as David Cameron. Be VERY afraid of who we vote in next.

I despise people like this, because we all know why a. they vote the way they do and b. keep quiet about it - because they know that a. their corcumstances mean that they'll do ok out of a selfish Tory government but b. they also know that anyone less fortunate won't... and so they're ashamed to come out and say, I put myself before the common good.

Irony is of course that the common good ultimately benefits them more in the end... as you see when the 'Shy Tories' are first to complain about NHS standards, shitty care for the elderly, where are all the police, why are the schools so crap...

I've read the Jaws thing before but I definitely don't think yesterday's speech was some clever scheming on his part. The PM made vroom vroom noises, made a total spectacle of himself and became a laughing stock. He's been flailing for months now, it's just catching up on him.

I haven't seen it yet, but he has never really started in my opinion.

Who knows - one would hope it is the beginning of the end but I am constantly amazed by what people tolerate, believe and vote for so... maybe not.

The constituency where I live was one of the first to switch from Labour to Conservative at the last election. The new MP could do no wrong in the eyes of many (not me, I thought he was a twat right from the start) but now the tide is turning against him and I think the Tories will lose a lot of their new seats at the next election.

Here is his FB page and the negative comments are piling up. There were a lot more comments earlier but he deletes any negative comments and then blocks the person who posted it so they can't contact him. A large percentage of his constituents are unable to post to his social media or contact him by email.
