What about... Still enjoying Boris' downfall Part 4. The one with the report released?

Part 4

How is that click bait? It doesn’t click.

I'm glad its not just me, I was utterly confused by that as well.
Perhaps they are confusing me with Clav?

Oh he doesn't, he answers the hard questions all the time. The fridge incident was to avoid ridiculous gossipy jezza Kyle style telly 'reporters'

What??? He and his Government boycotted GMB for months, same with Ch4 news and routinely doesn't turn up in Parliament as i said.

But when he does do an interview, such as the one with Beth Rigby, he didn't answer her questions, he answered ones she didn't ask, she got increasingly frustrated at this tactic.

He hide in a fridge, that not the behavior we should accept from a PM, he should be able to deal with the 'press not run away and hide... like a frightened Rabbit caught in Headlights.

@Florianus not even a decade? So your assertions about civil service profligate catering could have occurred any time during the period 1987-2017?!

Crikey no wonder the CS required claret for their meetings with you! But I very much doubt the austerity years would have allowed best value purchasing from Harrods or Fortnum & Masons for a routine quarterly meeting.

The time period also tells us nothing about the working practices in No 10 under the Johnson administration.

You don't find it amusing that a poster on a previous iteration of this thread thought that the Prime Minister's role was to be a messenger?

No, because you either misread or deliberately misunderstood what that poster had written.

Now you keep spamming your mistake, time after time, in the hope of getting people to respond to your nonsense. As I say, it is wasting people's time and is not amusing.

No, do you think the suitcase of wine bottles tells you more?

Possibly the wrong term, but it is an attempt to keep posting a lie in the hope that people will respond to it. I don't know why he wants to divert attention to grown-up discussions on the thread. (Nor do I know how he managed to quote your post six minutes before you posted it

Yes. The suitcase of wine tells me the PM allowed (and indeed encouraged on occasions) a culture of after work mixing and boozing during lockdowns

The post in question quite clearly said "don't shoot the messenger" in reference to Johnson's Downing Street briefings about covid. Seems a strange thing to say if Johnson isn't a messenger.

'He and his Government boycotted GMB for months'

So what? They also didn't go on Loose Women and it's about on a par 'news' wise.

They boycotted GMB because Morgan didn't interview anyone he just ranted and raved hysterically. If they want guests on they need to at least be professional and possiby let people get a word in edgeways.

Ministers were on lots of other news channels like Sky, BBC etc. I'm sure people are more than able to turn their telly over.

@Roussette

Possibly - or possibly the staff took no notice of what he said. Me? I shall wait for the full SG report before jumping in with both feet.

I don't know why he wants to divert attention to grown-up discussions on the thread.

It would indeed be nice to have a grown-up discussion without personal insults and whataboutery. Well we can dream.

Ah, at last you have admitted the truth. The comment about messages was only in relation to Johnson's Downing Street briegings about covid. Can we now get on, or are you planning more diversionary tactics?

@JaniieJones I missed the last time the Prime Minister did a TV or radio interview and would like to watch it, could you perhaps let me know when it was?

It is nice that we are in agreement that there was a post that suggested that Boris was a messenger. Thank you for the clarity.

Nor do I know how he managed to quote your post six minutes before you posted it

@florianus what do you mean? Who quoted which of my posts six minutes before I posted it?

At the risk of being thought to divert the thread myself, I have just learnt that Johnson has poor eyesight and needs glasses, but he is too vain to wear them when being televised. This must explain why, when he is reading out a Covid briefing, he appears to turn the page after every other sentence. The bulletin must, I suspect, be typed in an extra large point size so he can see the words without the need for specs.

@JaniieJones Other parties went on GMB and got the Morgan treatment... what about Ch4 news are they on par with Loose Woman too?
They boycotted CH4 because of cladding questions - 86 people burnt to death and the Govt of the day wont answer the awkward questions & you r happy with that.

Should our politicians only go on TV ch's sympathetic to their own ideology?

@Florianus No, do you think the suitcase of wine bottles tells you more?

A resounding yes. I think people being invited to non-lockdown compliant parties, buying wine fridges and bringing suitcases of wine to work tells us far more about how Mr Johnson conducts ‘work’ in No 10 than your recollections of catering at a meeting up to 35 years ago.

Do I think people would have been invited to ‘bring their own booze’ to a garden gathering during the height of lockdown during Teresa May? Absolutely not.

@Florianus Johnson has the money to have laser corrective surgery or wear contacts.

At 11.38 this morning your posted "How is that click bait? It doesn’t click". Six minutes earlier (at 11.32) jgw1 published those same words as a quote (not naming you, but in bold as a quote). Strange if it was a coincidence.

Well it would be syrange if that is what had happened. You need to take a look at the post made at 11:30 by LittleBearPadand then come back and apologise for the insinuation I am or have a sock puppet on this thread. Ta.

Isn’t a No 10 party participant alledged to have told the police there that ‘we are the only ones allowed to party’?! Who is ‘allowing that’ exactly? The householders Johnson & Carrie.

@ClaudineClare we quoted the same post, we must be the same poster!

What a tangled web we weave when first we practise to… take large donations from nationals of a country we have to then pretend to oppose in a potential war.
