Smirking and laughing as Sunak talks about Ukrainian children huddled in basements seeking protection:

Boris Johnson and the rest of the cabinet do not give a shiny shit about women, or anyone who isn't a middle aged white man.

Boris Johnson and the rest of the cabinet do not give a shiny shit about women, or anyone who isn't a well-off middle aged white man.

Fixed that for you, @CapMarvel. Wink

The man is a cunt. An out and out cunt. And so is anyone even trying to defend him. Honest to fucking god what is wrong with people. Literally falling over themselves to defend this…

@callingon

I also don’t think Boris Johnson gives a shit about women issues or trans issues, he’s realised it’s politically expedient to sound like he wants to enshrine sex based rights, without actually setting out what that means in practice. As far as I’m aware Keir Starmer has a better record as DPP of standing up for womens’ rights than Boris could ever hope to have.
Exactly this. Yet it appears that some women have drunk the Koolaid and are preparing to vote Conservative when they’d never have entertained the idea before. Anyone with half a brain can see Johnson would say anything if he could see votes in it.

Thanks Church you summed it up perfectly.

Sunak then started to talk about Ukraine and Johnson recognised that this topic was serious, he did indeed stop laughing and nodded in agreement

Absolute BS. How long does it take to realise someone else is speaking and it's about Ukraine? A split second. Not 16 seconds which is how long he was pulling faces and grinning.

How people on here defend him, god alone knows. It's beyond me it really is.
Just bear in mind he does not care a fig about you

Roussette · 24/03/2022 10:22

And no. Of course he wasn't laughing at what Sunak was saying, we all know that.
He just wasn't listening, wasn't paying attention, he was gurning at MPs on the opposition benches at a very very wrong time.

BitOutOfPractice · 24/03/2022 12:26

I agree @Roussette

I mean even a small child learns the art of putting their face straight when required don't they? It seems even the basic niceties of common decency are beyond this man.

UsernameInTheTown · 24/03/2022 12:38

Well said @FeckTheMagicDragon

@longwayoff

I think Angela Rayner needs to keep her wits about her, Bozo has a glint in his eye when she does PMQs. Don't accept a lift home, Angela.
I think they are both quite flirty in a 'love to hate you' kinda way.

I agree with pp, criticism of him laughing at Ukrainian children here is a stretch; he simply wasn't listening - because he's an overgrown toddler with the attention span to match!

Wouldntitbenicetobeinyourshoes · 24/03/2022 12:55

@biggreenhouse

but he wasn't.. he was laughing at the previous comment that had just been said, before Rishi moved onto Ukraine.
I agree. He was grinning & laughing before Rishi stated his bit.

I can’t stand the bafoon but he wasn’t laughing about Ukrainian children huddled in basements seeking protection as op said.

SueSaid · 24/03/2022 12:57

As others have said he was clearly laughing at someone opposite which is completely understandable.

Granted he should've been paying attention to what Sunak was saying but to suggest he was laughing at children huddled in basements is even more desperate than the usual Bozo attacks on here.

PierresPotato · 24/03/2022 12:58

He's very eccentric to put it kindly.

CapMarvel · 24/03/2022 12:59

I wouldn't be amazed if he was, he clearly doesn't give a shit about anyone other than himself so why would he care about Ukraine? It's all one big game to him.

But even if not, the simple fact that he wasn't fucking listening is not a defence, but then this is a man who can barely dress himself so why would anyone be surprised?

Lemonyfuckit · 24/03/2022 12:59

Wtf is actually wrong with him. What a pathetic excuse of a PM and a human he is.

Roussette · 24/03/2022 13:01

I'll repeat what I said before.
Everyone knows he wasn't laughing at what Sunak was saying.

He was, however, gurning and laughing WHILST he was saying it.
Is this OK?
No it really is not
Awful

But it's Johnson so not out the ordinary for him

Benny Hill at a wake????

TooBigForMyBoots · 24/03/2022 13:05

White lines and hippy crack is my guess.

SueSaid · 24/03/2022 13:06

'He was, however, gurning and laughing WHILST he was saying it.Is this OK? No it really is not'

An error. The person he was laughing at was obviously distracting him.

The op and others need to unclench.

CapMarvel · 24/03/2022 13:08

Nah, we just need a PM who isn't a national embarrasement.

The chancellor was making a speech about 2 absolutely urgent issues and what was Boris doing? Fucking about. The man is a fucking twat.

SueSaid · 24/03/2022 13:11

Oh god not Jane Godley. All that tweet proves is what a bellend Macron is.

It really doesn't...
Roussette · 24/03/2022 13:12

Janiie Even for you, this is an absolute classic 🤣😂🤣

So he is so out of control that the person opposite can distract him into pulling faces and laughing whilst his Chancellor is speaking about a war. "Not my fault Teach, the naughty kids opposite were making faces at me"
Honestly, this takes the biscuit. But thx for the laugh !

He's not 7 you know. He's a grown man in a position of authority

Roussette · 24/03/2022 13:13

Nah. Not unclenching here. He's an embarrassment but even more embarrassing is those defending him!

ChiswickFlo · 24/03/2022 13:14
