Could anyone really say he ever HAD the plot in the first place ?

Let the Wacky Adventures of Boris Johnson begin.
Frustratingly, the people who voted for this are the type to put the blinders on when the walls start crumbling and yell "leftist remoaners complaining again!".



Hold on tight, folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Did we vote in the lesser of two evils who was leader OR the bigger of two arseholes??????

So we see today - from a local (NI) perspective the 'performance' of C. Eastwood S.D.L.P when taking the oath in the house! 'Under protest' apparently, and further more, stating that he represents constituents (many of whom are British u/Unionists) in 'Derry' and 'Ireland'!

Aside from showing that he truly doesn't intend to represent everyone equally (makes his 'thanks' to many who were 'lending' their votes to him hollow), he doesn't even respect those that currently form the majority in support for the Union. That makes him a 'class A' hypocrite when he berates - particularly the DUP - for exactly the same thing in reverse!!

He needs both a geography lesson on where his constituency actually lies and in which country, plus a crash course in learning respect and principles!!

Dude there is no respect or principles when it comes to 99% of politicians in Northern Ireland. They only care about their pissing contest and shouting louder than the side they disagree with. They are all hypocrites and don't actually give a fuck about what the public wants and needs. All this is true of most politicians everywhere but particularly the shower of dickheads up north.

I might exclude former MP for North Down Lady Sylvia Hermon from that list! In actual fact, some might argue that holding out for your beliefs is a principled position to take, the issue is when those beliefs become red lines which - unless conceded to in their entirety - lead to the type of petty stalemate we are having to endure (yet again) right now!!

All parties - and this is why I took such a dim view of Eastwood and his 'petty' attitude towards taking the oath in the commons - must recognise - and accept - that to be a mature responsible representative, sometimes you have to 'suck it up' and 'bite your lip' when it comes to implementing laws, and/or approaching debates etc about subjects that effect a large number of our citizens, but which certain parties or individuals within those parties, find unpalatable!! An MP - as with MLA - represents ALL their constituents - not just their 'natural' supporters!
