Should he stay or should he go?
« on: January 12, 2022, 01:30:37 PM »
Boris Johnson has been forced to apologise for attending a party during lockdown last year

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59967930

So my question is: do the panel (that's you) think he should stay or go?

Ha ha not really. My real question is: how many weeks before he resigns/gets fired? My guess is before the end of March. The person who gets the closest will receive a virtual prize with no real monetary value whatsoever.

 We need the lying hypocrite to stay as long as possible. Every time he opens his gob he reminds us why we should leave his so-called 'UK'.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Pronounced "yuck".

It's not his UK, it's our UK and some of us have got to continue living in it even if you do run off like cowards.

Now wee Dougie Ross has developed a backbone and called for the tumchie to go.

He'll be a sad loss, since he's a superb advert for Scottish Independence.

Bearing in mind that his elevation to become the leader of the Fuckwit Tory Party was never going to end well, I just hope that the members of said party reflect on their mistake - although, since it seems that Liz Truss is said to be 'in the frame', there could be further entertainment/chaos to come.

Curious in a week where the PM and a number of his senior staff have been accused of drinking on the job that Grease-Smug should choose 'lightweight' as his invective of choice. It's almost as though he can't really help himself...

He also suggested that the civil servants who went to the knees up should resign because they are employed. But not the lying incompetent lying racist lying thug shouldn't  because he isn't. A venal govt doing venal things egregiously

Who'll replace him? My money's on Liz Truss - sensible and a bit boring which has its appeal after Johnson.

I'm stuck seeing why anyone would want the job until after the council elections. Of those that might run, I think it might end up between Truss and Sunak with Sunak winning.

The NI Assembly elections are due as well - be very interesting to see what happens there.

Waiting for Sue Gray

Liked the verse.

Just to say, I'm not waiting for Sue Gray. As a civil servant "fixer" I doubt she will determine anything conclusive. Her remit and powers are also very limited. The report will be another waste of paper that BJ will  wave around.

Really it's down to Tory MPs to do the best for the country ... and they never do that if they think they might slip, even a little, down the greasy pole.

As the number of parties continually increases, revealing a 'partygate' culture, one wonders if Boris the Liar is channeling both Nero and David Brent.

At least, I hope she will be able to determine whether the gathering was a party or not. BJ definitely seems to need a visit to the opticians, since he believes that people sittting around with bottles of booze and snacks and nibbles are 'working'.
Perhaps he has a different definition of work from the rest of us. I don't think the people involved were professional food and drink tasters.
