Poor man, he wanted to leave, should have slung the lot of them out and give all the medical attention to those that want it.

Absolutely. I guess the one justification is he might have been going home to give Covid to a load of other people, who'd then use up resources, but if he wants to go home and die, let him!

But Johnson pauses AND adds in the er... anyway.

I like jesticulates. Clownish movements to keep up a buffonish persona. Still better than him pausing, thumping the lectern and ejaculating, which seems to be what he spends most of his time doing if rumours have it.

Imagine looking at him and listening to him speak at any point in the last few years and thinking he is fit to lead the country.

Imagine looking at him and listening to him speak now after the last year's events and STILL thinking he's fit to lead the country.

I cannot imagine how deluded and/or thick you'd need to be to think that.

I watched a thing over Xmas about primary school kids looking back at the news. SOme of them were only 4 or 5 and even they were ripping the piss out of him for how stupid he was.

He is free to discharge himself and die an agonising death, but they can piss off with storming into a hospital ward and spreading their QAnon level bullshit threatening medical staff.

I assume those conclusions will be delivered by Lily the Pink. Has anyone tested her medicinal compound to test it's effectiveness on the virus yet? Seems like a big oversight if we haven't.

Couldn't fully understand the bloke in the video because he obviously had a massive cock in his mouth..

At any point did he ask If AnY 5g ToWeRs had been erected recently

Also despite failing this whole nation a few times already, why does Boris continually push for things to return ASAP irrespective of consequence, he's making the same mistakes time and time again... Fuck me I hope he's voted out at the next election

Unlike in Scotland where Sturgeon mildly tweaking whatever Boris does, being the slowest at vaccine rollout and not actually procuring said vaccine gets her record polling numbers

Im serious. We do it for other hate preachers. Just because his religion is conspiracy theories doesn’t make it any different.

I’m so done with grifters and morons damaging both the public conversation and now public health.

I don’t see how telling people to carry around and spread a deadly virus is any better than telling them to blow up the infidels to be perfectly honest.

Im pretty hard line freedom of speech, but even the US version stops at encouraging public harm. Sadly Johnson is a terrorist sympathiser in this case having made his career from bullshitting idiots just the same.

Again though, it comes down to the alternative.

I would be all for voting them out, as would a lot of the country I think, but the competition is a joke.

to be honest this is a very lazy opinion.
Johnson has never shown himself to be a serious politician. A quick look at his time as mayor, as foreign secretary or even as an MP shows that.

He jumped on the Brexit bandwagon when once he was banging the drum for the EU to expand to include Turkey, because he knew people were so invested with it they would ignore everything else.

No matter how bad the alternatives are or were none are as bad as Johnson. Worlds worse per capita covid deaths proves it.
'it could have been worse' is a shameful insult to those that have died because it really couldn't.

Even if you (not you personally) don't care about the death toll, just look at his handling of the public purse. 22 billion for a failed track and trace system is an absolute scandal which fuck all will happen about.

As I said yesterday, political accountability is dead in this country.

The country will be dead as a collective entity soon as a result of this moron. The SNP and Sinn Féin’s wet dream was Brexit and a bumper Boris majority. Doesn’t matter how shit they both are

A wonderful quote I heard, sadly I cannot remember the source (it might have been on James O’Brien’s LBC programme), is that Johnson wanted two things; to become Prime Minister and to say that he was Prime Minister. Sadly the bit in between of actually being Prime Minister is somewhat of an inconvenience.

I personally think that Johnson’s biggest problem is that his whole empire is built on lies. Everyone knows the lies he told in order to get Brexit ‘done’ (remember when he was on the stage waving a fish about, falsely claiming that EU rules stated it needed to be packed in a certain way?) emphasised by Richard Littlejohn writing a column entitled ‘I know Johnson is lying, but I love it’...now at a time when the country most requires credibility in a leader, nobody believes what he says and so ignore what he says.

They've had him on the BBC. He's an absolute moron.
When he fawned over that racist and trump and went into over drive deleting his drivel when it went pear shaped for the pair of them was hilarious though.

What is a lazy opinion is believing that anyone other than the tories should get into power by default because the former are shit.

The competition has been consistently rejected by the general public. If you got relegated every season would you point the blame elsewhere or accept you were doing something wrong?

I genuinely believe a lot of people want to have someone else to vote for, but they cannot find anyone that represents them. I'm certainly in that camp. The fact that the tories keep winning suggests to me that the alternative is even worse. Trust me, I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. Apart from Blair, how many elections have Labour won in the last 100 years? They keep alienating potential voters.

I have very little good to say about the tories or Johnson (vaccine otherwise), just for the record.

That's fine

I just hope they can hold their hands up for enabling this shit show though of course they won't even though if Corbyn had been elected and overseen this disaster people who voted for him would be getting pelters.

We've seem leavers trying to blame remainers for Brexits early failings already This week. That's the mindset we're now dealing with.in this country now.
