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.

He's a cowardly narcissistic little boy whose only desire is to be wined, dined and admired. Inexplicably he appears to be popular in Ukraine so he ponces off there so he can have his little ego stroked again.

In the meantime our hospitals are in crisis, the cost of everything is shooting through the stratosphere, while our rivers and seas are literally turing to shit. Yet all the government seem to be interested in is tearing down our democracy further and some idiotic desire to return to Imperial measurements.

While you are here, please take the opportunity to fill out the consultation on making us the laughing stock of the world by telling Rees-Mogg what a pile of wank the Imperial idea is. beisgovuk.citizenspace.com/opss/measurements

He's lining up his next job whilst blaming Russia for the economic mess he's left behind. Two birds one stone!

Fuck me, I'm just watching the news footage now. The oligarch and the aristocrat.

These are our leaders??

Do we know what his next well paid skive job will be?

TooBigForMyBoots · 24/08/2022 18:45

He's planning to be PM again, but next time, it's for LIFE!

Special advisor to Ukraine? Probably.

People said he was shit and not fit to govern, so he's obliging them by not governing.

right, since he got in?

BronzeSage · 24/08/2022 22:44

It's amazing to me that they voted him out then gave him a further 3 months. He was bound to be like this. They are idiots.

He should have fucked off months ago then and left the perks of being PM behind him.

TenRedThings · 26/08/2022 22:22

He's topping up his narcissistic supply as he knows he's not going to get any in the UK. He's using Ukrainian suffering for his own propaganda and self promotion.

sst1234 · 26/08/2022 22:43

He doesn’t need the money, we all know that. It’s so he can stroke his own ego, since he’s apparently hero worshipped by some in Ukraine.

Is this your shout for what his next job will be or just your opinion of him?

Zonder · 26/08/2022 23:11

Now you're scaring me @TooBigForMyBoots

He doesn’t need the money, we all know that
This is what I don't understand. If he is so loaded why does he always need rich pals to pay for stuff for him? Wallpaper, a nanny...

So why didn’t he fuck off immediately then rather than squat in Number 10 on full pay? When I give notice at work, I’m still expected to do my job until I leave.

The government can’t just grind to a halt and ponce about on a shitty months long leadership contest where only 0.3% of the county have a say whilst the country slips into despair.

He could still bring in short term emergency measures until the new leadership is in place and is stable. He can’t ignore the U.K. and the bits of the job he doesn’t like and fly off playing the big man abroad. It’s a travesty. He’s the PM of the U.K. The U.K. needs help today. He’s not the PM of Ukraine.

@Endlesssummer2022 exactly, they can't have it both ways. If people saying it's our fault as we told him to leave, well he should have left weeks ago instead of just sitting on the job and taking full pay for months while doing nothing.

He is enjoying the Ukraine stuff because it provides him with photo ops and he can play the hero, plus he's probably feathering the nest for future ambassador type work in a style similar to Blair.

When it comes to the day to day, important 'ordinary work' that is needed to keep the country going, Boris has always opted out at the worst times etc. hardly attending SAGE meetings before the pandemic kicked off, telling people to carry on shaking hands etc. The guy is just a clown.
