Why the fuck is Boris Johnson still Prime Minister?

[noblegiraffe]

Fucksake. I mean seeing minister after minister wheeled out to defend the indefensible in the media rounds. Do they have no shame? Prattling on about how it was an 'essential part of leadership' to be a Toastmaster to an illegal piss-up. No, leadership was the Queen sat alone at a funeral, like so many of her subjects had to do. Not carrying on with your unprofessional boozy work culture and then have your team crow about how they 'got away with it' when they successfully didn't vomit in front of the cameras there for another press conference telling everyone how important it was to stick to the rules.

Johnson knew it wasn't right to have birthday parties when he personally wrote to a kid saying they were right to not have theirs, but then thought it was just fine to have one of his own and then announce that all rules had been followed to Parliament? (The police disagree, as does anyone who was forced to cancel their own celebrations).

Telling people that it was his duty to have a party for leaving colleagues while at the same time people couldn't be with dying family?

And now they are having the gall to say that he has accepted full responsibility? How? That sort of statement is followed by a resignation, not a 'now let's forget about it and move on'. How has he demonstrated that he has done anything apart from his utmost to weasel out of taking any sort of responsibility, to the point of asking Sue Gray to give up on her report? The report that that he told the rest of us that we had to wait months for the outcome of to find out what he already knew.

He says he wants to deliver what the British people want. Polls said yesterday that a majority want him to resign. Get the fuck on with it then.

But polls also showed that only a tiny minority of people actually believe he has the integrity to do the right thing (learned from bitter experience).

So what, the British people are stuck with this craven, corrupt liar as leader?

Well no. He could be no-confidenced by his MPs. What the fuck are they waiting for? Do they think it is to their benefit to have him shitting over public office every day? 'Oh but they can't think of anyone better'. What exactly does that say about the state of the Tory party if that's true?

Cannot stand seeing his face, hearing his pathetic lies, seeing his shitty schtick any more. JUST FUCK OFF BORIS.

In that case he'd better resign ASAP.

Oh, that's what we've been saying for months.

Keir is right, guilty men should go

Heard this from an LBC presenter today - currently Keir Starmer's Education Spokesperson in the House of Lords, sitting on Labour's frontbench;

2005
The Labour peer Mike Watson woke up this morning in a prison cell after he was sentenced yesterday to 16 months for drunkenly setting fire to a curtain in an Edinburgh hotel and endangering guests and staff.

www.theguardian.com/politics/2005/sep/23/uk.lords

They have all loved the partygate thing. A good distractor from the real shit going on. They've been very keen to 'get on with the job' but I haven't seen them doing much work in the last few months......

If we all forgot about this and let Boris just get on with the job, just imagine what a utopia we would live in. Our cup would runneth over.

Presumably Mike Watson was punished accordingly.

Not sure you want go trawling too far in to Johnson's history what with the setting up of journalists for beating, the sacking for lying, funding Acuri (investigation ongoing?) dodgy financial dealings of the Keave campaign and the Conservatives receiving Crimean cash. We'd be here all night.

Per the article, Mike Watson was kicked out of the Scottish Labour Party and only readmitted 7 years later.

Is Clav suggesting that Johnson be kicked out of the Conservative Party for 7 years? I'll take that.

Think you mean his mates' cups would runneth over. His job seems to be to enrich them at our expense.

Is Clav suggesting that Johnson be kicked out of the Conservative Party for 7 years?

Boris Johnson hasn't got a criminal conviction.

@SirChenjins

Perhaps they want to lose the election, just before the country goes bankrupt, so they can blame Labour for it. Would also explain why Rishi is flashing the cash.

I think that's the idea. There's so much dodgy shit he's done, people just get overfaced.

Yet.

Why did you bring up Watson then if you're saying his situation is completely irrelevant to that of Johnson?

This thread is about Boris Johnson and how he should resign. He says he is keen to deliver the will of the people, and the majority polled thought he should go.

Don’t forget how each subsequent interview about his time in hospital with covid got completely exaggerated when he when t from he’s fine- “in good spirits, I chatted with nurses,” yes he had 11 litres of oxygen which is absolutely nothing btw!! But when he came out it was all about how he “nearly died!!”
he’s just a lying opportunist

Partly because you are a teacher - you don't seem to mind that Labour's Education Spokesperson is a convicted arsonist.

He was mentioned in a discussion on LBC today - together with former Labour MP Claudia Webbe - another 'guilty woman' - who refuses to resign as an MP;

I just want him gone. All of them - gone. I'd rather be taxed to the max then look at them for one more day.

This thread, Clav is about Boris Johnson, current Prime Minister and national embarrassment.

Do you have anything to say about him?

89% of voters on this thread think Boris should fuck off. 👍

Anything you throw at him, he just responds with "We got Brexit done" (yes, hope the Brexiteers stuck in the queues at Dover today are giving themselves a big clap).

Or he'll mumble something about, "WE developed the vaccine." Er no, I think you'll find that was scientists and they would have done the same under any govt.

So would you prefer a dictatorship style of government or do you prefer a democratic style of government where everyone can have different perspectives ? Just because some posters can remain on the fence, rather than committing to x point of view, does not automatically make them stooges.

I saw that the Express did a poll too. 95% of their readers think he should fuck off too.

You can fuck right off with your yawn.

I'm not a Tory but I'd be happy with Tobias Elwood in charge. He's intelligent, measured and anyone who runs towards a terrorist in an attempt to save someone's life gets my vote.

Hundreds if not thousands of years of conditioning mean that as soon as people hear a posh voice they roll over and show their belly like the serfs we once were

The baffling thing is his voice isn't that posh and he's a REALLY REALLY BAD public speaker but I hear people saying the opposite all the time. The country is suffering from a collective form of madness.

But as someone said upthread, we get the government we deserve.

Absolutely. Both are pathetic in every post they deliver. Probably Boris n Carrie.

Clav has probably disappeared because allegedly Carrie has left Bozo for another man (married, of course). It's all over Twitter.
