Discussion

This morning's propaganda is all about telling everybody how much money the UK is giving to Ukraine.
(less about taking the money from other budgets).
If in a mess at home, get involved in a foreign war.
Where is the money coming from? Ditto the Army budget increases?(less about taking the money from other budgets).

Does it come from the "surplus" VAT earned from high fuel costs? Think Sky did an analysis a while back and Rishi had 50b-90b more than "expected"

Notable all the other apologists have gone a bit quiet too.
Odd as you'd have thought they'd be posting about all those brilliant things he's doing.
I don't think OTBL has any standards he's just a bog standard reactionary troll desperately trying to provoke a response. Notable all the other apologists have gone a bit quiet too.

Boris really isn't helped by the things he lets happen around him, whether it's his attitude towards defense spending and staffing, or letting Gove run around and trash the house building and rental markets, or all the merry enviroloons he keeps about the place.
Like this moron who's meant to be about infrastructure but always seems to be obsessed with an entirely different cause...

All the personal stuff counts against him but it's policy and personnel where he manages to really monumentally fk up.

Just checked, Boris is still in power
GRRRR
Do you think that this is hilarious and somehow winning? It’s a fGRRRR
king embarrassment that we let someone like this stay in office.OnTheBreadline said:
No, I can't stand the utter clown of a chump. I have zero love for him or any of his idiot cabinet or party. But he's clearly doing something right if neither successive Labour leaders nor a massive chunk of his own party can't get him out. And that people are on here at 7am posting about how much they hate him instead of having a nice breakfast with the wife and kids. A few of you have an awful lot of anger inside you from the minute you wake up. It must be a very stressful life. There are more important things to worry about. America survived Trump. We will survive BoJo.
Yes. But just think of the problems the government could be addressing with someone competent at the helm. Someone who could pick a competent cabinet. Not the shower of second rate cretins that are Boris’s picks.OnTheBreadline said:

A reflective opportunity perhaps, although in fairness this is a 'whinge about it' place, maybe a good safety valve...--
Liked Mercer the other day, he mentioning that word 'pragmatism' in the speech about NI and I thought yeah, we'll probably need a lot of that soon, which seemed appropriate to your comment.
No Andy this is a “free to discuss the good stuff” place too.
The fact nobody seems to want to do so but people can always pop up to criticise others for complaining about his antics is quite telling IMO.
James O’Brien (marmite and even I’m on the hate side sometimes) made a compelling point this morning which is think of the grief Rayner got simply for crossing her legs in the Commons.
Now ask yourself why the story of Johnson allegedly getting caught receiving oral sex is nowhere to be seen.
It’s grubby and sordid but it’s the mark of the man.

You were the only one that posted anything at 7am this morning.
I didn't say this morning. There are very often plenty of posts starting at about 6am, people getting themselves wound up nice and early. OnTheBreadline said:

How do you know what time they’re posting or whether they’re at work or which country they’re even in. You’ve gotten up, got upset people are criticising bojo, had a pop and are now getting salty so many people are calling you an arse. You were the only person posting at 7 am today about Boris.

What about the bit about Carrie being caught giving him a quick nosh in his office around the time of the job office issue?
Would that not be gross misconduct or a resignation issue?
In the real world it would be. Not for this Tory government.Would that not be gross misconduct or a resignation issue?
Remember how Mitt Romney was crucified for saying that "47% of Americans would vote for Obama no matter what" ? How anodyne that seems now.
Then you have Trump who said he would grab women by the pussy because he could, and it did nothing, if anything it probably endowed him to the new electorate.
Boris is a natural conclusion of that really, and we the public are as much to blame for him ascending to where he is as the political architecture itself. We the public also voted the Conservatives in with an even bigger majority when given the chance, in spite of Boris's widely publicised issues.
Even today I would not be in the least bit surprised to see Boris & the Tories enjoying at least a 45% share of the vote. People talk a big game about morals, clapping for the NHS, decrying the need for food banks, but when it counts they think about their own lot in life and which party will improve it, with ethics being a distant afterthought.
