Westministender: Amen to that!

On the Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Johnson went to Westminster Abbey and was trolled. Its almost divine in its irony.

In a week where just about the entire right wing press has turned on him, for being... well shit... They have the dawning realisation that yes all those annoying lefties were right all along when they said he was full of nothing but hot air. He's been ridiculed for being paid £150,000 a year and not being able to feed his 5000 kids and the pictures to mark the anniversary of him becoming PM do little more than look like a man who couldn't tie his own shoe laces without a nanny to help him.

But its not really a laughing matter. This man doesn't understand what legal agreements he's signed so his solution to his ineptitude is to throw his toys out of the pram together with the rule of law. Which he also does not understand.

Johnson is also ever increasingly keen on ripping up inconvient human right and workers right and he has ample opportunity to do all this in the middle of a pandemic.

Unfortunately the hypocrisy of his cronies isn't exactly helping the behaviour of the public and you have to pity the poor behavioural scientists who have to tell him that 'of course the public are going to give you the vs when you tell them you shouldn't do this when your chief advisor claims to be maybe going blind'.

It seems the whole government strategy on managing the virus seems to be falling flat on its face rather sooner than planned cos they stuck Dildo in charge who wouldn't know her Rs from her elbow if it hit her in the face. And we've got Hancock going full on 1984, telling us not to believe the reports that no one can get a test because its all lies - except half the country has either first hand experience of the travesty of Track and Trace or has a close mate who they know is a hell of a lot more reliable than any of these fuckwits when it comes to telling the truth.

Meanwhile in America Bader Ginsburg has managed to die at possibly the most inconvient and dangerous time possible just as the future of democracy in the US is clinging on by its finger nails.

And yes. Money laundering. Haven't we talked about that a lot on these threads. Its almost as if FinCEN was predictable...

Taking back control was always about the elite taking back control from the masses. But if you've managed to keep following all this time, we've been saying that since April 2016 and no one listened then, so why would they start listening now?

Baptisms are allowed and fall in to the same category as weddings so allowed up to 30 guests. There was a meme doing the rounds beginning of last week saying rule of 6 started Monday because his child was christened on the Sunday.

Guardian reporting that on Saturday 12 September, he was at Westminister Cathedral at the baptism of his son

I suppose he could have sneaked off for a jolly in Italy recently on another day, as he has done it before

www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/21/no-10-denies-reports-boris-johnson-went-on-secret-italy-trip

In April 2018, while he was foreign secretary, Johnson was photographed looking somewhat dishevelled at San Francesco d’Assisi airport.
It emerged that Johnson had stayed at Palazzo Terranova, a restored castle owned by the media billionaire and socialite Evgeny Lebedev, who is renowned for holding lavish parties.

The pictures of Johnson at the airport suggested he went to Italy without a police escort.
According to another passenger on the flight back to the UK, Johnson was on his own, apparently without any luggage and very much the worse for wear.

Peregrina · 21/09/2020 16:10

I think I am correct in saying that the UK has never had a Catholic PM. Blair converted afterwards. Johnson, according to the BBC, was confirmed in the Anglican church.

DGRossetti · 21/09/2020 16:13

Palazzo Terranova

New Earth Palace .... they're hardly subtle are they ?

Must be time for pulito palazzo to use a phrase ...

SabrinaThwaite · 21/09/2020 16:21

Maybe Lebedev has more than one Umbrian castle?

It seems he does:

No one wants to keep a Prime Minister prisoner until they have been tried and convicted of their crimes. However if this is true, then what would have happened if someone had kidnapped Boris while he was on this jolly ? Would the whole country have been forced to raise the ransom a la Richard I ?

Could we crowdfund for them to keep him ?

Presumably, knowing his history he'd get any kidnappers to up their ransom, before he returned to crucify them. I wonder if he'd cut their throats first ?

have banks closing expat accounts been discussed yet?
that will affect people enjoying retirement in the costas and other people who no longer live in the uk but still have comitments like property, life insurance...

Yes pink. See a few pages back. Also most recent edition of R4 Money Box.

I thought the Italian BJ had been debunked?

Isn't that Berlusconi ?
ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 21/09/2020 18:13

According to PM on R4, the airport was mistaken: it was Tony Blair, not BJ (an easy mistake to make Confused)

Peregrina · 21/09/2020 18:28

Which just goes to show - Johnson has lied so often, that people no longer believe a word he says. I bet it annoys him that the Italians don't know who he is and mixed him up with Blair.

Darker · 21/09/2020 18:32

Exactly. His position is surely becoming untenable.

Nothing about this in the Italian press, yet.

It does seem odd that they would mix him up with Tony Blair, totally different body types for a start.

Unless they mixed him up with someone else, eg perhaps Gabibbo flew in sporting a blond mop. Far more likely imo.

Darker · 21/09/2020 18:34

Daily Mail stirring it up against Whitty and Vallance.

prettybird · 21/09/2020 18:47

Yes, Tony Blair is easily confused for BJ Confused

...quite apart from the fact that they mention Tony Blair as a separate event Wink

@SabrinaThwaite

Lapsed Catholic.
He was christened Catholic and the 'converted' to C of E. I assume that just means he couldn't be arsed to be RC and used C of E as a default. Apparently, Symonds is Catholic so I can believe they had an RC ceremony. I doubt very much he has a religious bone in his body - which is his one plus point for me (ex-RC).

Anyway, Theresa May has perked up to stick the boot in.

FatCatThinCat · 21/09/2020 19:07

So how do you all feel about having to pay for covid testing? Dido Harding has said that 'Moonshot' tests will not be free.

Mistigri · 21/09/2020 19:07

Its kinda irrelevant whether the Perugia rumour is true or not when even Boris's backbenchers are inclined to believe it.

Says a lot about what they think about him (and they presumably have a higher opinion of him than the rest of us).

Jason118 · 21/09/2020 19:08

Who knew you can't make money out of free testing?
