Because 7.5 is nearly full and we’re still waiting.

Happy days.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 24/02/2022 21:14

Checking in.

War has a funny habit of making folk forget about 'parties' though. Not that war is funny, or that Boris in charge during a Pandemic or a war would have been anything a sane person would have wished on the population.

Delurking to thank you for the thread.

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/02/2022 21:42

Thank you Bossomtoes Flowers

Alexandra2001 · 24/02/2022 22:06

Thanks, though the way its going we could be on thread no 101 and he'd still be there..... depressing.

littledrummergirl · 24/02/2022 23:31

Thank you for the new thread.

Plaice cat king.

The man's a lying bag of lies. And useless in the current circumstances. It was bad enough having him as PM through a pandemic never mind now. Time to go and let someone with any amount of morality, competence and honesty about them step in and do a better job. Of course he doesn't have the combined self awareness and decency to resign without being pushed.

No way will he move out now. Being involved in a real live war fits with his idea that he's following in the footsteps of Churchill.

Very true.

Ha new thread. In case it was missed, Johnson's neighbour also received a questionnaire Cake

CryingAtTheDiscotheque · 25/02/2022 09:01

Checking in (and wishing more than ever that grown ups were in charge of this country Sad)

UnconditionalSurrender · 25/02/2022 09:21

Is this the one where we get derailed by Tony Blair once knowing a Ukrainian and Gina Millar being a bleedin' foreigner? A break from Keirs beers and the definition of refreshments. All to distract us from the Tory party being steeped in Russian money.

borntobequiet · 25/02/2022 09:39

Yes, it’s always interesting to see who turns up on these threads. Thanks for this one.

itsgettingweird · 25/02/2022 11:45

Thanks for new thread.

Going back to previous thread. I like Penny Modaunt. I think it speaks volumes that a Tory donating Russian/Ukrainian doesn't like her and should butt out!

I suggested she'd make a food next PM. She may be a Tory but she has values I admire.

Ihatebullies2022 · 25/02/2022 12:14

Anyone else think De Spaffle is rubbing his hands with glee at this awful turn of events? He'll be thinking he's untouchable now.

Peregrina · 25/02/2022 12:43

Perfect for him: nothing practical for him to do, so he can spout 3 word bollocks to his heart's content.

AuldAlliance · 25/02/2022 13:02

And along with "But Corbyn," now we have "At least he doesn't bomb his neighbours and put poison in his political opponents' underwear."

Johnson, last November, smirking as he blathers on about there being no risk of armed conflict in Europe

PMK. Thanks for the thread Blossom.

I see one of the responses blames all that on Cummings. Which is an interesting admission that Johnson is incapable of forming his own views on this somewhat important issue.

@CryingAtTheDiscotheque most children would do a better job, or at the very least not pick the least able friends in their class to work with them.

ClaudineClare · 27/02/2022 09:20

Ukraine will by saved by Johnson, who is now on the frontline according to this unintentionally hilarious tweet.

Cllr Joe Porter 🇬🇧 (@JoePorterUK) Tweeted:
Our Prime Minister @BorisJohnson on the frontline with our Armed Forces coordinating the UK's response to the invasion of Ukraine. True global leadership! 🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkriane t.co/FVf8j3QLQs twitter.com/JoePorterUK/status/1497694675850956802?s=20&t=xonHtnv8jOpk0X1FwYQ0OA

balalake · 27/02/2022 09:28

Perhaps whoever manages Mr Johnson's social media has been talking to the person who manages that of Mrs Truss.!!

AuldAlliance · 27/02/2022 09:42

This Liz Truss?

See also the tweet, now pulled, from a Tory MP suggesting Ukrainians apply for entry to the UK via the seasonal worker scheme:
