Boris finds time in between holidays to visit Ukraine but MIA for his own citizens in a time of crisis

[Endlesssummer2022]

That’s it really. He has nothing to say to his own people but jets off for a photo op in Ukraine to give them his unconditional support. Beyond taking the fucking piss now.

Wonder what all those people still loyal think of this when he shows no loyalty to them.

And that would have been the right thing to do. What’s the point of having a deputy PM if he doesn’t deputise? Two months of piss take while the country goes down the pan.

And to those saying we shouldn’t be expecting him to do any work or set new policies during his notice period. How is it his government found time during the holidays to unveil reforms to the Electoral Commission? When it’s nefarious shit, his government are active but when it’s helping people it’s crickets and tumbleweed?

He's pursuing his Churchill delusion. Doesn't care about us. Pretty sure he doesn't care about them.

Well he seems to have done what he wanted to do all along while he was in office. He probably sees no reason to change now. Yanbu.

He's working on "building his legacy" in preparation for a return to power. Lots of people are already saying how much better it was with him at the helm and they wish he hadn't decided to step down. The leadership contest process is playing into his hands. Every person who stood was only in it for themselves not the country and the sooner people realise that the better.
It's a total disgrace.

He really is a vile man. He has absolute contempt for the British public.

The convention is that the old leader doesn't do anything major policy wise until they leave. That then allows the next PM to stamp their mark.

Given the woke infested civil service don't implement what this government order anyway I suppose it is a moot point.

Yes yes, all of our problems are caused by those pesky civil servants tying everything up in wokerie, not by the Marie Antoinette in reverse drag we have at the top, who stolidly and tirelessly leads us through troubled waters by the tried and tested method of eating in fucking tavernas and selling our capital city to oligarchs.

He’s still “at the helm”. Interesting he’s so ineffectual you think he’s gone.

As a pp said, he's having his Churchill moment giving pep talks to soldiers and ego wanking over anyone unfortunate enough to be in his path. Fighting big bad Putin is far more fun than a cost of living crisis, Brexit fallout, and the collapse of the NHS.

Fuck me since when was the country full of such spineless apologists for a totally discredited PM ? When did people completely lose their moral compasses ?
With a pointless culture war obsession rather than addressing the real problems the UK faces like cost of living and brexit, the country really is in deep shit.

Thing is, he probably believes in that shit. Like, he seems to think he's like Churchill.
When he blatantly isn't. Not that Churchill was a great guy or anything, but he did actually do things.

Maybe this lad has watched too much reality TV and thinks that if you just say stuff it's true?

‘Given the woke infested civil service don't implement what this government order anyway I suppose it is a moot point.’

Yes Liz, putting up flags during Pride month caused our massive Covid death toll, shut down Sure Start, increased hospital waiting times, handed over billions in tax payers money in fraudulent PPE contracts to ministers mates and poured sewage over our coastlines. No government decisions involved in any of this, just Shelia in Accounts Payable at the DVLA in Swansea again with her insistence on handing out sweets during Diwali . The woke cow!

Totally agree

Disgraceful- as usual

This.

He's a narcissistic prick obsessed with playing at Churchill and trying to polish the turd of his time as PM.

@Endlesssummer2022 I don't disagree with you in the slightest and everything you say is accurate but feel I should point out that DVLA in Swansea has long been a hotbed of trot radicalism as seen by the case of the clerical worker there who, back in the early 2000s, changed Tony Blair's details to "aka Saddam Hussein Twatface".

Afraid Boris has been a major disappointment as a leader. This shows why.

@Malie Major disappointment? Causing over 20,000 avoidable deaths by being asleep on the job or lazy is a serial killer in all but name.

I do not believe in the death penalty, and have opposed it all my adult life. Otherwise I would be comfortable with hanging for him.

Winston Churchill also had a capable cabinet on both occasions he was Prime Minister.

You would struggle to name three cabinet ministers in Boris Johnson's time who would be as good as any of Churchill's government.

As many as three? I can only think of one.

Sorry this thread is highly entertaining , should be printed out as a goodbye card for Boris .😆

In other sectors at times of crisis all leave is cancelled, but the people who are meant to be governing the country seem to have an inordinate amount of holiday time regardless of the shit being about to hit the fan. The country feels totally rudderless. Typical of the Tories to put sorting out their own petty squabbles before dealing with the country's massive looming problems. If Boris wasn't actually intending to do any work in his final weeks as PM then he should have gone straight away. It's all one long last photo-op to the useless waster.

The difference is that they have flattered his ego, unsurprisingly, as the representative of the country training them. We have not, we’ve called him out on incompetencies. Therefore he’ll go there and not here. That’s how Britain works. There’s no expectation of duty now, and as the poor politicians tell us themselves, work does not actually pay.

Oh, and Winston Churchill was a workaholic who hated delegating, and tried to do everyone else's job for them. Regardless of what you think of his politics, he was never the type to hide in a fridge.
