The United Kingdom and the Death of Boris Johnson as we know it.
rallyboy replied to CB Fry's topic in The Lounge
It's his victims I feel sorry for, the ones who have loyally defended him, explained that every lie was true, made excuses for every corrupt step, some even believe that he's playing a blinder to this day. Those victims need sympathy at this time, not ridicule - they were conned by Boris, they deserve our support. -
She did a shocking job. It's insane that there appears to be a higher ratio of sex offenders within the Met than there is in the general population.

Brilliant save! No, it was straight at him. Brilliant goal! No, it was a half-decent shot that deflected off the defender - there was no brilliance involved, brilliance is beating five players and chipping the keeper or curling the ball two metres and in off a post. Let's ration the use of brilliant and save it for the real thing.

Stop fucking around with the ball all sideways and backwards on the halfway line, get some movement going, get the ball in and have some frigging shots. Let's at least go down with a fight and not a whimper.

Part of the PR campaign for any party riddled with corruption is to promote the lazy idea that all politicians are the same. The facts suggest that at this moment the government is World Cup-winning on corruption while Labour are League One.

Though there's still a question mark over your maths...

Mack, you could have broken it to us gently! After we've played terribly for about three fucking years and have taken root at the foot of the table, you now announce, with no warning, no softening of the blow, that we might struggle to avoid relegation?? 😲 Shit, that's the mother of all bombshells, a crushing blow that will send ripples through the fanbase. But thanks for letting us know, at least we can now try and prepare ourselves for the paralysing shock of this horrific new scenario that none of us had even considered until today. I might not be back on here for a while, I'll need a bit of time to try and get my head around it....

I've run out of different routes to the ground, I've tried all the lucky pants, slapped Ted on the foot, I've changed coats, but my wardrobe has now run out of options. I didn't want it to come to this but it may just be up to Selles and the players from here.

The good news is that Mums or Dads will still be able to spend longer with their kids as these childcare measures don't happen for fucking ages. It's just a headline to grab votes, hoping that many people don't spot the detail. The big winners today are multi-millionaires' pension schemes, haulage companies and alcoholics.

Totally irrelevant to the point I made. I was talking about the hate speech aimed at the thick, that does nothing to sort our immigration policy - do you believe there are 100 million people who will attempt to enter the UK illegally this year? We need sensible policies, not hate speech. -

They think we are all stupid. No sane person believes that 100 million desperate people are clamouring to get into the UK, yet Suella and Rishi are asking us to buy that. Anyone who can grasp simple concepts and basic maths will see right through the current distraction scam, so they're not trying to solve a problem, just trying to harvest the votes of the aforementioned thick - or rather the easily-led, or hard-of-thinking as I like to call them out of courtesy. Instead of the economy, the NHS, energy prices, policing, education, defence, corruption or poverty, they'd rather we all just talked about Gary Lineker. -

This is clearly a massive PR campaign to distract from the state of the UK - a transparent subtle blend of lies and hate to call up the easily-led. A standard three-word slogan that thick people can remember and shout outside a Holiday Inn Express, madly exaggerated stats they can parrot, the creating of an enemy to distract from more important issues, it really is the last hateful throw of the dice from a divisive government that needed a Falklands War and is instead having to create a conflict. We could have worked with France, we could process much quicker, we could have a functioning Home Office, we could have legal routes and send the criminal elements back to wherever. But the UK has chosen the only path that gains votes - a faux patriotic war against a made-up enemy, and catastrophic human rights decisions that will leave us standing proud in a dark corner with Russia and Belarus. I thought better of Rishi, not much, but I did believe he had a shred of integrity when he came in. He hasn't. -
Promises were made that could never be kept - so they got the result and nothing else matters to them. They couldn't even be bothered to workshop some plausible excuses for the inevitable time when the lies were exposed. So it was a referendum where everybody bar venture capitalists, Russia and those that financed it, have lost. But worryingly a hardcore minority of the victims of the scam, having been taken in by those lies like old ladies helping a nice Nigerian prince get his fortune back, still to this day stubbornly pretend there is some sort of victory out there. The facts show otherwise, and facts always beat opinion.

The M27 - lanes one and two are empty, so get the fuck out of lane three! Then exit at the next junction, stop, get out of the car, walk away from it, never look back and catch a fucking bus.

No.

On the scale the ref chose, which was that any contact is a foul, the attacker clearly committed the first offence with the push in the back. Free-kick Saints. The end. Not even sure why this is still a debate...
-
Mild retaliation by the victim of a foul has never been a penalty, shouldn't have been a penalty, and never will be again. There really is nowt more to discuss, tomorrow we will probably have a new crisis to debate, let's save some energy for that.
-
Those two challenges to the head would even be red cards in rugby, but neither were even a foul. I saw neither at the time, but the TV pix are very clear, so VAR saw both and did nothing. As for the slap - both players pull shirts, attacker commits first offence by pushing defender in the back, defender slaps him in return...penalty? 🤡 If that level of contact is now a penalty, we'll be seeing one given before EVERY corner or attacking free-kick is even taken, a keeper pushing someone away, a player putting his arm around, any minor touch has to be a penalty? Nah, it was just a ridiculous misinterpretation of the rules by a conveniently-inconsistent referee keen to craft his special place in FA Cup history. Should his career survive this debacle, let's see what he gives against Man Utd at Old Trafford when the same scenario arises.
-
I have no issue with the VAR decisions, or the fact that we were dismal for most of that, I was however surprised to see a penalty given for a mild retaliatory slap, when Djenepo had already been elbowed in the face to stop him but that wasn't a foul. I was also surprised to discover the off-the-ball shoulder-charge into KWP's head, missed by VAR, wasn't a foul or a card, nor was the two-man tackle from behind with added shirt-pull on Djenepo in the second half. We lost mainly because we were crap, but giantkillings don't need to be orchestrated by the officials, football is dramatic enough without them helping things along. As they did tonight.

As a country we insisted on shitting our own bed and are now celebrating an offer of clean sheets like it's a great victory. Government still treating us all like idiots.

Universities "blacklisting" books to protect students.......

Them with the Golden Gun. -
Not sure what all the current fuss is about - Boris got Brexit done ages ago. Simplest deal ever, US trade deal secured, borders closed, cheaper energy and food for the UK, NHS sorted, exports leading the world, farmers happy, fishing industry turbocharged. If the nasty EU snowflakes are trying to hold plucky global Britain to ransom on some minor technicality, let them wait.

When I woke up about 3am and remembered how shit we are and how it can ruin your weekend, I did come up with a positive. You don't want to be dragged into a relegation battle last-minute and get edged out on goal difference. Nah, if it's going to happen you want it to be nailed on from October and despite the odd false dawn, you can then become comfortable with that and accept it when the inevitable happens. That whole last ditch dodgy goal that changes everything situation looks horrendous, if we're going to go, we're on course to do it properly.

It all went downhill after the use of the hilarious putdown, cry-baby loser. Oscar Wilde spins in his grave.
