Absolute joke and insult to the children who suffered because of schools closing.

Corruption alert 🎺

ClemFandangoo · 03/03/2022 22:22

Yeah, he leaks classified documents and it’s a knighthood. I imagine we wouldn’t get the same Angry

OMFG that's a disgrace! Shock

Outrageous but what can you expect from a PM like Johnson? The sooner he goes the better.

@noblegiraffe

It is a slap in the face for teachers across the country who had to mop up the results of his extreme incompetence, while being treated by him with complete contempt.

It is an insult to any student who was caught up in the exam grade algorithm scandal, some of whom lost university places as result.

It is a kick in the teeth for any child affected by his mismanagement of schools during covid, whether through opening them in an unsafe manner, closing them in a chaotic fashion, not having a plan in place for when exams were cancelled again, or the total lack of leadership around remote education provision.

It makes a mockery of the honours system which allows the Prime Minister to bribe people who have secrets he'd rather they didn't reveal, people who were sacked from government for leaking state secrets, so can hold no claim to service for country, or a job well done.

Shame on this government.

100 fucking percent.

The timing is not co-incidental:

The whole government is rotten. Something needs to change - what can we do?

Onlywomengivebirth · 04/03/2022 14:13

Does he have dirt on Boris?

SueSaid · 04/03/2022 14:17

Why don't they actually tell people what criteria someone has allegedly fulfilled to be given a knighthood?

It's all a load of bollocks. Calling anyone sir or dame should have been left in the last century and don't bet me started on OBEs and MBEs. I didn't think we had an empire anymore, why on earth do peope accept these silly letters after their name?!

Seemslikeagoodidea · 04/03/2022 14:23

It's strange, he seemed pretty much a non entity, certainly not someone deserving of a knighthood. Very fishy, IMO.

Outnumbered99 · 04/03/2022 14:25

What? I saw someone mention this on twitter and assumed it was a joke... honest to god I've seen it all now

walkersareback · 04/03/2022 14:40

He obviously knows stuff. Wasn't there a photo of him at his desk with a book and a whip on the desk in front of him and there was speculation that it was a warning to the people who wanted him out that he had notes of things that were damaging- or did I dream that?

twominutesmore · 05/03/2022 06:27

I hope the queen tells him to fuck off when he turns up.
