The Dubious World of Boris Johnson

Never really had an issue with John Major!! He had all that Maastricht shit to contend with.........the bastards if you recall. There is no comparison between Sir John and this current non - entity. How he is surviving I simply do not know?? His rejection of the facts around the effect his blatant lie about K. Starmer had on the events Sir Kier had to endure is just plain sickening!

Got to give the guy credit he certainly knows how to work the system to his advantage

And that is all his premiership is about!! Naked personal ambition...responsibility?? screw that!!!.......just an inconvenience

JRM To be Brexit opportunities Minister - that's something that he'll fuck up very quickly.

In terms of economic opportunities for medium-sized businesses in the UK, he may be able to succinctly distill his new brief to one saying: "let them eat cake".

This will now be the ultimate test as to whether the leading exponents of Brexit will be ultimately vindicated or not. Let's see. Him and the other brexiteers ultimately have to stand up and be counted now. No hiding place sniping on the backbenchs now. Ball's now firmly and unequivacably in their court. Let's see if was a lot of hot air or whether there is some actual substance behind the glorified rhetoric. The fact is that export trade for some UK exporters to the EU, however, has plummeted since Brexit was signed off.

*******

His re-shuffle is being criticised by a few people, because it's a boys club, but really, did anyone expect him to do anything different.

Good news though, another letter of no confidence has been submitted, so slowly but surely they're adding up.
The sooner Trump V2: return of the shitness, goes, the better for everyone imo, toxic politics at it's worst.

I agree that he’s the worst of the worst and has to go.

But I’m not filled with hope that he’ll be replaced by anyone better. That front bench right now feels like a choice between the damned and the demented.

We need to throw these bastards out at the next election — irrespective of whatever shiny toys they dangle in front of us at the time.

You’ve had your precious Brexit — now fuck off.

JRM4PM. It'll be worth it just to see Twitter go up like No.4 Reactor at Chernobyl

,,,,,,,,,,,,I should just add re John Major - he did many of the hard yards that ultimately meant that T. Blair was able to bask in the 'glory' of the peace process that came about here. Not sure he would have let the 'threat' posed by Adams and his cohorts lead to the sick concessions to prisoners (ultimately their early release).

I am well placed to give an analysis for obvious reasons, and I have always thought that J Major could have written every letter, word, sentence, paragraph, page, dot and comma of the belfast agreement, and Sinn Fein (but also I am sad to say and believe SDLP) would not have had a bar of it! In fairness T Blair - to an extent - acknowledged the former ...........kind of!!

I agree (agree), I'm not sure who the best of that bad bunch is, they are a supporting cast of cunts. Not one is trustworthy.
I'll never understand why anyone would vote for this bunch, I'm no fan of the Tories, but this crop are clearly the exception to the rule of the cream rises to the top, they're more like something that refuses to flush. Who would've thought we'd miss May.

Major was actually a decent man IMO (at least as far as Politicians go). He ruined it by playing hide the Sausage with Fenella the Kettle Witch but nobody's perfect

Whilst watching The Chase today, I think I reconnected with some information, that I had once learned & since forgotten, that No.10 was built on a site that was formerly a brewery. Good to see that Boris & his team are keeping traditions going with their drinking culture. I'd always thought he couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery, but it seems that he almost did, ...allegedly.
