Beginning of the end for Boris Johnson

[Mr. Sausages]

He’s got away with it again.  All forgotten about now.

I don't know about that but he and his friends are absolutely trying their best to bury it.  So far we have;

- The Daily Mail regurgitating a story about Kier Starmer that was published in The Sun last year and certainly didn't cause much of a stir at the time;

- Proposals to change the BBC funding because they are "too liberal and left leaning".  Strange given the senior appointees that the Tory Party have put in there so it cannot possibly be the Tories trying to control the media reports on their parties.

- Drafting the military in to stop illegal immigration across the channel.

The last two along with another few announcements which will probably amount to nothing other than more Tory lies is being call "Operation Red Meat".

Johnson of course remains in isolation due to a family member having tested positive for COVID despite the fact that the current rules mean that if he is fully vaccinated then he does not need to self-isolate...  Suddenly he is going over and above the rules.  I wonder why?

Sociopaths only (genuinely) react to their own peril. Dodging consequences becomes honed to a fine art as they will have had lots of practice.

He revels in the drama that a roller-coaster provides within his relatively insulated teflon-coated existence.  That's his drug, his dopamine-high..."getting away with it". And the next time, he will push the tolerance of those around him even further, like any junkie.

(A bit of BS arm-chair psychology but it's a useful analogy perhaps.)

Grow up.  Johnson, and his No.10 minions attended illegal parties that many people in the UK were fined for.  They were holding parties whilst many people were not allowed to visit loved ones who were dying or even attend funerals.

They were breaking the law whilst the Queen sat alone at the funeral of her husband just like many normal people.  

If you cannot see why this behaviour is disgraceful do you at least accept that this Government will no longer be respected by the electorate? 

What I do find disgraceful is people making cheap political capital out of the grief of a 95 year old lady.

About as funny as the “Manx Takeover TV” efforts.

Maybe a bit more professionally produced but that’s all you can say.

That you don't like it makes me happy.

It's not about making Political capital out of anyone's grief.  Its exposing the disgraceful leadership shown by the PM.

Oh, and by the way, I lost family during this pandemic who I could not visit before they passed because of the laws that Johnson introduced and then flouted....

He lost in the sense that he was expecting a different outcome.

But the people of the UK ( and by extension the IOM) were the winners

The latest BoJo’s humiliating grovel made the much-giggled-at ‘dog ate my homework’ excuse sound plausible. But for me, the even more outlandish contrite BS was produced by one of Bojo’s allies at yesterday’s Newsnight. He defended the boozy knees-ups “because Downing Street is the most oppressive place on Earth”… (and therefore the staff needs to have stress-relieving drinks, even when everyone else is walled in by a national lockdown). I would have thought that this ‘title’ belongs to the whole of Afghanistan under the Taliban regime and North Korea as well.  But apparently not – apparently Downing Street is even worse than those places. What utter offensive dross.

It appears that the majority of the Tory ‘grassroots’ supporters are hanging in there with ‘entertaining’ leader BoJo. Shame on them! They have truly lost their moral compass. Hopefully, good people of the UK will be rid of all of these useless pillocks at the next GE.

David Davis, former Tory Brexit Minister to Boris - 

"I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that. You have sat there too long for all the good you have done. In the name of God, go.”

Must be terrible to model yourself as Churchill and find out your Chamberlain.

Imagine having written a history book on Churchill and your response to that quotation is:

"I don't know what quotation he is alluding too"

Given that the quote opened the door for Churchill to become PM you would think that the author of "The Churchill Factor - How One Man Made History" might have recognised it.

So we have had Davis attack the PM from the backbenchs and one MP cross the floor to join the Labour party and still this buffoon thinks he is the right man for the job...

[Declan]

I think he was stunned but was referring to Davis's earlier comment "Yesterday he did the opposite of that".

And Chamberlain was only plagiarising Cromwell, nothing original.

“You have been sat to long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!.”
