AIBU to think there isn't a single person out there who supports him.

Genuinely curious to see if I am wrong.

YANBU - he is a total dickhead and must go
YABU - he should stay

No I’d quite like him to go.

I’d like Starmer to go also.

I’d quite like a shake up of our entire political system.

@FrasierCraneDay erm last time I looked I am human and your the one name calling not me
I never even said I support him , but I can respect why others may choose to want to keep him or maybe voted for him
How do you know wether I have been a victim or not ? You don't you have no idea about my life or what I have been through

That’s a failure of the government to properly tackle to problem of companies offshoring in low corporation tax havens and not have to pay more to trade in the UK.

Etsy is based in the United States which has a much higher rate of corporate tax than the uk.

@FrasierCraneDay I mentioned you as you were the first comment I see that ridiculed a poster who stated why she voted for him
You were happy to do that and single them out ?

Ok again with the singling out and the complete lack of spelling and grammar has led me to report. Unless it's you Carrie, you ok hun?

FirstAvenue · 06/07/2022 23:23

Whenever the Conservatives have a big majority, they turn on their leader. I think Boris is a flawed personality who has made too many mistakes, but I think people are being unfair on the specific issue of remembering what he was told about someone three years ago. I mean, fancy having to remember the almost endless list of sexual misdemeanours by Tory MPs?

worriedatthistime · 06/07/2022 23:24

@FrasierCraneDay report for what ? I haven't called you a name have i and you have replied to my posts ,
And its ok to pull up on my grammar and spelling is it , again not knowing why.

You're keen, I'll give you that

worriedatthistime · 06/07/2022 23:32

Give me what ? I simply posted that i don't get why people have to ridicule others who hold different beliefs or think differently
You claimed you reported me ? What for
I replied as you tagged me and replied also
I also said i mentioned you as yours was the first I see but also clearly said how lots on this site do this and simply shut others down
You then made assumptions about me , I get why you don't support him totally , but can also see why some would

@fulbe, yep found 2 lumps a few weeks ago, rang GP and went in, got sent to consultant within 2 weeks. He referred me for scan which I got in 17 days then I am back to see consultant on July 13th. I have a NHS dentist too. As I said locally our services are very good. Chris Pincher is a good local MP. I will vote for him again as I don't care about his personal life. If he commits a criminal act I will leave p police to deal with it. I would vote for Boris again in GE. I won't be able to because he will be gone by end of weekend. I would never vote for Hunt or Sunak. I have spoken to many people today locally about 19 and many told me they would still vote for Pincher if he had whip restored. 16 out of 19 actually.

You would actively vote for someone who sexually assaults people?

Thats disturbing

FungalNail · 06/07/2022 23:42

shame We can’t do a swap, we could have the dishy very together Ukraine PM ..

Dogmum40 · 06/07/2022 23:45

He’s the best of a bad bunch, honestly looking at all the parties and the possibilities who would people actually want? Genuine question because I don’t have the answer, they all need to go and get people running the country who understand the economy, household budgets, businesses from self employed one man bands to large corporations and the global stage because non of the current party leaders and front/back benches have a clue!

It’s an error of process partly. BJ need someone to automatically remind him of historic issues before allocation jobs. I find it quite disturbing that he’s minimised sexual predatory behaviour though. Very dismissive, how must the victims feel

FOTB · 07/07/2022 00:21

@caringcarer I'm glad you've been referred quickly. However, I know several people who are dying or have died due to a lack of prompt access to cancer care in the last couple of years. I also wouldn't credit Boris for access to the vaccines. I would credit him for failing to turn up to COBRA meetings at the start of the pandemic though, because he wasn't taking it seriously.

I'd also credit him for shaking everyone's hands and smirking about it, and then catching Covid. I'd credit him for hiding in a fridge.

I'd credit him for inappropriate behaviour in the workplace with his then mistress.

I'd credit him for me and my loved ones not being able to attend funerals and not being able to grieve properly.

I think anything positive has happened despite him, not because of him.

Is there anyone even left to resign?

Thwomp · 07/07/2022 00:25

Torn between wanting him to stay because it’s good for Labour, and wanting him to go because he is so disgustingly unfit for the office.

GoingOnce · 07/07/2022 00:33

I thought he did a good job on the vaccines and Ukraine. Showed what we are capable of outside of the EU.

I didn’t and don’t care about the lockdown parties. I haven’t heard anyone say they care.

We don’t have presidential politics, we have party politics. It is not good to have frequent general elections or on fighting. I’d far rather they got on with the job.

juggleit · 07/07/2022 00:33

Nope needs to go. He pulled up trumps with the vaccine roll out. Well documented that his fly by the seat of your pants approach worked in securing our vaccine orders. Er that’s about it!! He’s quite delusional now with some God complex. Hope the civil service can keep its shit together. 😳

InChocolateWeTrust · 07/07/2022 00:36

God its bloody awkward isnt it. Clearly he has lost all meaningful support. Yet he is desperately clinging on. It makes rather a mockery of democracy.

I am so glad you got seen promptly, genuinely and wish you all the best on that. Sadly neither my friend nor another friend's Mum were seen promptly and by the time they were finally seen were terminal.Their funerals were heartbreaking, especially as both families were left wondering whether the outcome could have been different without delays.

I see what you are saying about keeping personal and professional lives separate, but if someone shows such poor judgement in their personal lives, I personally couldn't vote for them nor trust them in their professional conduct.

I genuinely want to hear why people who like him do like him, but I feel they aren’t sharing because they get jumped on quite quickly.

Me too.

@CanaryShoulderedThorn completely agree. Unfortunately people that never liked him to begin with can’t see the positives of what he achieved with Brexit, vaccines, minimal lockdowns and Ukraine. NHS doesn’t need anymore money, just needs to lose the inefficiencies.

Is that you, Dad?

Really🤔 so your happy with a sociopath and narcissist in charge of the country and happy with a known sexual predator and abuser as your MP.

You are very easily pleased.

Agreed.... You can have good MPs who aren't sexually abusing people... Or a PM who treats the country with utter contempt through his lies and the shocking mess HE HAS CREATED.... (the shocking mess with unusable PPE for one... Loads of wasted money and front line staff DIED as a result....)

Why the hell would ANYONE want someone like these people as their representative??
