Aibu.....I Will Survive

So the governments new director of communications has let it be known that Boris isn't a complete fool and that they both sang a chorus of the GG hit " I Will Survive" at their first meeting.

Is it me or are they now completely taking the piss out of us.

Boris and his ilk will never be subjected to the shit that the majority of the public are now facing.

Many aren't surviving either financially or mentally whilst he sleeps like a baby in his nice warm flat with plenty in the fridge not worrying how he is going to feed and heat the kids.

He truly is the lowest of the low.

Totally agree. It's the pits right now.
They don't give a shit about how horrific it's getting for people, never have.
It's all about staying in power and filling their pockets.
I loathe this government so much. All that joking and laughing in parliament and telling people to 'move on'. They're a sick bunch.

Fully agree & well said. I'm angry-distressed & anxious most of the time these days over my own, and others, problems caused by the attitudes, incompetence and policies enacted by BJ & Tory govt.

Am even angry that BJ has taken over a song that's an anthem for so many women of a certain age who were brave enough to leave dreadful relationships. How dare he.

The BBC write up was cringeworthy

They're not even bothering to hide their contempt for the public anymore.

They are completely taking the piss out of us.

You would think the new director of comms would do better than come out with this information.

Did he seriously think we were all going to think their singalong was funny. Jesus wept you actually couldn't make it up.

Today BJ waffling about care packages for NHS patients so if there hospital can't give them the treatment they require right away they can access another hospital.

I work in the NHS and I'm sure every hospital is in the same dire straits thanks to covid so how would this actually help.

In other words this shower have no clue how they are going to cut waiting lists for treatments and operations. They just have no clue at all.

YANBU. Also, it's bizarre that this was revealed to the press - talk about not reading the room.

I very much hope the joke will be on them soon.

He's completely ruthless.

Boarding school syndrome. Stunted development, no adult level empathy or care for others. Survival only. That is the mentality favoured by the British establishment.

I've defended Johnson more than most but I was a bit Hmm to read the new DoC reveal that. If it had been Cummings leaking it, fair enough, would make sense because he wants to embarrass Johnson, but either the DoC is massively incompetent or yes, they're taking the piss.

now? its always been this way.

I agree OP. The fact that he is trottin gout reforms as if they are new when they are already current practice shows the contempt he holds for the public. He must think we are all as thick as shit the way he goes on.

We all need to email our MPs and tell them we won't be voting for them if he is not ejected soon. I get that they want to wait to closer to the general election so the tory party are votable again but I think that ship has sailed. The longer they hold onto him the weaker they look across the board, not just a clown at the top and everyone else is just peachy. It doesn't work like that!

Thedogscollar · 08/02/2022 11:35

@Samcro fair point of course they have.
@FlapsInTheWind already emailed my MP who is Tory with a whole list of things that I am pissed off about. I won't hold my breath for a reply and if he does no doubt it will be full of excuses and more Tory bullshit.
