The Dubious World of Boris Johnson

Good to see that Boris & his team are keeping traditions going with their drinking culture. I'd always thought he couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery, but it seems that he almost did, ...allegedly.

Actually he's renowned for never ever buying a round of drinks so maybe organising piss ups is the only way he ever gets a drink

I think if he ever ran his own pub, it wouldn't be cheap!!

How much longer can he hold on?

Sir John Major has weighed in with criticsm of Boris.
He mentione this morning that the PM broke lockdown rules and it made the Government look shifty.

it was shifty enough when Cummings was there

Sir John Major fits into the 'good chaps' approach to British politics whereas Johnson is a pound shop Trump with Churchillian delusions (although they share the Racism but not quite to the White supremacy core of the Donald). The defending the indefensible does damage to the individual Parliamentariams, the Conservative Party (for which I have a visceral dislike about) and the wider body politic. Sir Max Hastings judgement of Boris Johnson - a liar and a nasty piece of work who thinks rules don't apply to him - is spot on.

^i'd go as far as to say Sir J M probably could have been thre conservatives' greatest leader since Churchill if Thatcher hadn't been PM

Thatcher didnt really have the Brexiteer bollocks until the last year or 2 of her campaign of terror

Jonathan Pie on Boris Johnson being a serial-liar

Absolutely priceless dissection of his character (or character-assassination)

No10 and Boris's lawyers have been working out a defense for him attending up to six parties during lockdown.
They will be saying that it's all part of his working life, even the ABBA party that Carrie held in their flat when Dominic Cummins was sacked. He's never mentioned if he was there or not, but he's now going to say that he was in the flat but he was working.
Also they are going to argue that he was only at the no10 parties for a short while, again they were work related.
And his cabinet ministers are going to tour the morning TV shows saying that a fine for breaking covid is just like a parking or speeding fine.

So expect the fightback to begin soon. Be aware.
