Why don't you? The guy has made it his life's mission to promote himself as much as is humanly possible. He's been in the public eye over 4 decades and all the evidence points to him being a narcissistic, conniving, bulshitting, vindictive, corrupt, self-serving cunt of the highest order.

The fact there are people out there still, after everything that has transpired in recent years, that are prepared to ignore such a wealth of evidence and give him the benefit of the doubt, absolutely terrifies me.

The classic 'people v the political elite' argument, and you accuse other people of using a playbook.

You only have to read Johnson's resignation letter to see why he is totally unfit to be PM. 

[Fan The Flames]

"He should not be allowed to run for the party again. That is Boris’s basic problem, words are designed to make his audience believe whatever they want to believe. There is no anchor to any discernible truth or sense of integrity.

To me it is inconceivable that in these circumstances he could stand as a Conservative member of parliament again. It is up to Conservative central office to affirm an official Conservative candidate. No doubt he will now go out into the world and make huge sums of money, writing history as he thinks it was conducted. But it will have little to do with the reality of the mess he left behind.”

Edited 11 June, 2023 by Fan The Flames

[badgerx16]

In his resignation letter Boris starts by saying the Committee were intent on forcing him out of Parliament, which is bollocks as it would have required a vote in the HoC to do that. He then goes on to say he has "been an MP since 2001", which is a lie as he served 2 terms as Mayor of London, and had to resign as an MP to take up that position.

And that's just the first few sentences.

Fucking hell, you’re not seriously trying to claim Hestletine is an unbiased source are you.

He’s got severe Brexit deranged syndrome & is the go to guy for people who dont actually vote Tory.
 

He talks about a mess, but him and Johnny Major left the Tories in a even bigger mess, decimated & facing 13 years in opposition after he helped stitch up the Great Lady. The arrogance & Europhile lies of people like him contributed to Brexit every bit as much as Boris & other Tory leavers. Talk about political failure, once he stood on his own two feet outside the great lady’s cabinet, his career was failure after failure, culminating with us leaving his treasured EU.

This is politics, everyone has an angle, but what he says is what a lot of people think, including loads of tory MPs. If Johnson thought for a second that he had enough support to stand up to the comittee report, he wouldn't have resigned. But the truth is his support has ebbed away from both the right and left of the party, he has nowhere to go. People don't want what he has to offer anymore, they want MPs and PMs to respect and enhance our demorcratic processes, not to demean them. Boris is over and I believe that in his heart he knows it.

Nicola Sturgeon arrested as part of the SNP finances investigation, the unionist blob have got her, to pay her back, its the political elite v the people whah whah whah

[sadoldgit]

Iron Lady? She was more like a rusty hatchet faced harridan. Her standing was at a low but thanks to the Falklands conflict her approval ratings shot up and she went on to do untold damage to the country. She heralded the end of the UK’s manufacturing industries, sold of council houses without replacing the stock and ushered in future generations to believe that greed and selfishness was good. Her famous mantra, “the lady’s not for turning” doesn’t demonstrate strength, it shows her to be boneheaded, blinkered and unwilling to admit  that she may be wrong.The only things I can think to thank her for are launching the career of Ben Elton and giving as a huge laugh on Spitting Image. Proper and decent Prime Ministers work to brink people together for the betterment of society as a whole. Thatcher was divisive and as much as she still gives Duckie and the Gammons a stiffy, will always be widely hated by many.

If you're going to have a pop at someone for not being bright because of an un-noticed autocorrect, it usually helps if you don't then fuck up the spelling of the word yourself. Otherwise you could end up making a bit of a tit of yourself.

I didn’t say that I wasn’t very bright, I said I was not an intellectual. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence will know the difference between the two. Given that you say I am the brightest stupid person on here I thank you for your self awareness as you then clearly understand that you are much more stupid than I am.

Thank you for pointing out the error, I shall correct it now. 😘

Back to Johnson. It has been very entertaining watching the latest Tory psychodrama and sitting back whilst the different factions tear each other to bits. The right wing media are tying themselves in knots too, the front page of the Mail today even signed up for Braverman’s smoke screen deflection against Starmer when the clear major story is the cat fight between Sunak and Johnson.

Johnson’s resignation letter was pure Trump; lies, bullshit, deflection and playing the victim. It was some strange alignments of the planets that these two pathetic charlatans should appear on the world stage at the same time (we can probably throw Putin into this mix too).

Joining them on the stage unsurprisingly, none other than serial opportunity grabber, Nigel Farage, pitching for an unholy alliance with the Greased Piglet. 😂

If it wasn’t doing so much damage to the standing of this country I would be happy to see this play out until next year, but it is so bad now that we really need a General Election sooner rather than later.

Not very bright directly quoting someone you continuously insist you have on ignore 😉

[Fan The Flames]

So Johnson has only just submitted his resignation letter, probably spent the morning trying to see if there was enough support to not resign. He is now the Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds or something, a job with no pay and no obligations, even he can't fuck this one up, can he?

That’s just an administrative tool used  as you can’t technically resign as an MP, some silly old rule and procedure.

More respect for Sunak speaking out against Johnson. Why is that bald cunt Berry getting interviewed by everyone? Stop giving these people airtime FFS it isn’t balanced reporting just encourages the halfwits

[sadoldgit]

It is a shame that he didn’t have the backbone to strike off the whole dishonourable honours list.

Michael Howard was on the radio earlier calling Johnson a liar. No shit Sherlock. Johnson’s latest antics are doing him no favours and more and more of his colleagues are distancing themselves from him. At this rate his only buddy might end up being Farage.

Their readers unfortunately…and Duckie.

They will still turn out in their hundreds of thousands to vote for them at the next election, sadly.

Maybe it is time to have some kind of psychiatric test before you can stand for Parliament that excludes the narcissists, deluded fantasists, the terminally thick and bullies? 

It would be great if these people could be excluded from voting too 😉

Not really having a go so hopefully you don't take it that way but aren't you supposed to be in your 50's?  If you've voted in 12 GEs then the youngest that makes you is 67.

Also, if you've voted against the Tories more times than not then it begs the question who you have voted for - obviously UKIP in it's various incarnations will take up some of those but I reckon you're a closet Lib Dem for the others.  It makes sense as the initials match up.

When I first started reading Duckie’s posts I assumed that he was older than me. He used an avatar of Leon Russell, used the language of someone born in the mid 1940’s and liked the music that people slightly older than me liked. I was born in the mid 1950’s and it came as something of a shock to find out that I was actually several years older than him!

Typical Soggy, likes to stereotype everyone. Not white, must be an immigrant. Enjoy Leon, must be born in the 50’s.  Open your eyes man, don’t label everyone by colour, age, sexuality, & religion. It’s 2023 FFS.

You sound more like the people you constantly vote for everyday Duckie. Go back and read what I actually posted and engage your brain. If you can actually read you will see my conclusion that you were older than I was based on a number of things, not just Leon Russell. You are right about one thing, if someone fits the stereotype of being thick, I stereotype them as being thick. 😎

Privileges Committee Report pretty damning. Is there anyone left who will defend the deceitful prick (oh yeah Nad, Express and Mail)? So not fit to govern and lying until the end. 

[sadoldgit]

Apart from the findings of his peers, his own reactions to their findings have also damned him. Going full Trump has just reinforced everything about the man that is flawed. If there is any justice in this world his career in politics is now over. He will never be short of a few bob and his increased notoriety will add a few quid to his after dinner speaking income, but it is time to f**k off now and leave politics to the grown ups. He can take Nigel Farage with him.

I’m looking forward to see how the Mail, Express, Telegraph and GB News try and spin this.
