AIBU to share this short video about Boris Johnson with you?

It is from Led By Donkeys and already has 1.5 million views:

It’s just occurred to me. It’s B-Day today.

Poor Boris.

Vote of No Confidence.

Imagine getting away with killing people and medically experimenting on kids, but it all comes tumbling down thanks to three fifths of a glass of Sainsbury’s £9.99 Chianti at 4.30pm in the garden.

“We are fine with the deaths, Dr Shipman, but the jaywalking is literally a step too far”.

Rape the economy and liberty, sure. But don’t you dare touch that stale slice of Madeira cake.

It’s hilarious reading the angry letters of the Tory MPs doing it. Everything that should make them hate Boris is the bit at the beginning where they say “I’ll always remember the good times”.

“We salute your leadership through the covid crisis and your leadership in the Ukraine crisis but...”

Do you? Ah. So you’re as big a cunt as him then. The only reasons you want rid are worrying poll numbers and personal ambition.

He’s the worst PM in history. And they haven’t a fucking clue why and would love to put in someone even worse.

It should be easy to find something better than the worst ever. But it isn’t. Because British politics is a sack of snakes. Get rid of one, reach in the bag for another...shit, it’s a snake! Reach deeper. Another snake!? What are the odds? Snakes, snakes, snakes, as deep as the bag can go.

Daniel Jupp.

This obsession with finding someone better is exactly why he’s lasted so long in the first place. I couldn’t give a shit who takes over, because it means he’s finally reached the limit of lies and corruption. It means there’s an end point to what politicians can get away with.

WaitroseWoman · 06/06/2022 18:44

Voting ends at 8pm and the result should be announced by 9pm.

Have you watched the video?

I generally don’t hold conservative politicians in the highest regard, but few are as incompetent and odious as Boris.

The only person I would give any credit to is Rory Stewart and he wouldnt get in, in a month of Sundays.

The next person wont change policy about benefits, NHS funding, house building for affordable homes (proper affordable homes) and a whole host of things I would like to see, It will be same as, just under a different name with a different hair cut

Being boring:

Please take a minute to email your MP & vote 'no confidence'.

They need to know.

Oh bother, I emailed mine stating that I hope he will vote to support Boris, my logic being that is definitely not in the long term interests of the Tory party.
Boris will not win another GE. If he is replaced there is a chance the Tories will win.

thecatfromjapan · 06/06/2022 18:57

I would honestly say it's better to get rid of Johnson. Even though he's a massive vote loser.

He is that damaging.

🤷‍♀️

WaitroseWoman · 06/06/2022 18:58

Boris needs at least 180 votes.

Waiting and waiting... the man needs to go!! Only problem is who the hell will replace him?

WaitroseWoman · 06/06/2022 19:05

Theresa May is upstairs in the HoP voting in a ballgown and sparkly shoes apparently...

Pretty quiet in parliament square
they should start drifting out soon if they think he has it in the bag
very few police do expecting a quiet night

DirtyteaCup · 06/06/2022 19:15

Strong smell of weed given the number of police

WaitroseWoman · 06/06/2022 19:15

Boris has just turned up to vote, presumably for himself...

That Led By Donkeys video is really quite something. Obviously there’s nothing new in there, but seeing it all put together…

Any country that elects a man like that is in a shameful mess, regardless of whether he clings on to power or not.

But he's been on Have I Got News For You! The zip wire with flags!

thecatfromjapan · 06/06/2022 19:16

Keep going with the updates, Teacup.

DirtyteaCup · 06/06/2022 19:16

Bojo is still here apparently

DirtyteaCup · 06/06/2022 19:17

At least 7 ministerial cars at the front now
waiting for a quick getaway

DirtyteaCup · 06/06/2022 19:20

I’m not hot on Tory mps
send mr a link to a photo of yours and I will heckle them for you as they come out

ENoeuf · 06/06/2022 19:24

He will survive and then play the 'what else do you want be to do? I've said sorry, I've paid my fine, I've cooperated with Sue Grey and I've survived a vote' to shut down anyone talking about his record.

Then the Tories will win the next election because people will say 'ooooh Labour always bankrupt the economy' or 'you don't remember the 70s' or 'bloody socialists' or 'what you'd rather have Corbyn?' and vote for the men in suits they think are better than them. Just like they all turned up to wave their little flags and cheer a privileged old dear whose probably done a worse job raising kids than they have but because she's got a posh accent and a nice frock they think she's worth more than them.

DirtyteaCup · 06/06/2022 19:24

Security has come out and talking into mikes
