[Politics] Boris Johnson, the new UK Prime Minister

[Green Cross Code Man]

BoJo is right wing yes, he is not facist, do you actually have the balls to make that accusation? It is frankly comical how the lefties are getting in a tizz about the new PM, he is no further right than Thatcher and nobody called her a facist. Seems to me the naive imbeciles that thought JC would be the second coming for hard socialism are realising that he is having no effect whatsoever despite the mess that is British politics right now. They are watching their hope disappear over the horizon as the extreme left Momentum have alienated a huge part of the electorate that they need to get a new Labour government. Boris may well cock things up, probably will, but when the next general election comes JC sure as hell will not get a majority.

I agree with most of that however, I recall loads of people labelling Thatcher a fascist at the time.

Apparently William Rees Mogg has issued his staff with a list of words and phrases that he doesn't like to see. A bit picky and perhaps not the best use of his time but no big deal. I wonder though if he might care to drop a note to his boss and ask him to stop using the meaningless term 'turbocharge' . Both Johnson and Hunt used it in their campaigns and it seems to have crept into the language of politics. Of course there are many things about our PM that can annoy folk rather more than this, but in my view it's worth adding to the list.

That will be Jacob Rees-Mogg, then. But glad to see he has got his priorities right!!

Energise and Unite the country are beginning to grate a bit ...

You mention Eton and giving everyone a fair chance.

I see what you did there

You did. I did. He didn't

The chance is there, go on grab it, some will some won't my bet is you would rather whine about it.

You poor souls, so hard done by.

Life is so unfair................

Reading all the sniping and hysterical vitriol aimed at Boris, Mogg et al by the usual suspects (never vote Tory types, #teameu types, class warrior types etc) it would appear those that voted him in made exactly the right choice. Despite many misgivings, I am beginning to warm to our new PM.

Maybe, but the constant crap from the same people time and time again makes my piss boil.
If they want to dish it out, they must take it back.
I can handle it, it doesn't bother me and neither should it.
It's only a few, and I will admit I occasionally go too far, but in the main there are very good posters on here.
But I will always meet ignorance with the distain it deserves, if people want to call me out it's fine, it's all about opinions.
For the record, I am neither left or right, Labour or Tory, I have a clear and open vision regarding politics, at the moment they are all totally pissing me off and it's only getting worse as every week goes by.
But it's only my opinion.

Well, I got some light relief from this battleground by watching the stream of the 4-0 win against Brum.
Some promising bits and pieces I thought and it takes one away from aggro.
Out for my birthday meal with the family soon. Hey-ho, we'll have a good time but I dare say I will over indulge and drink like I was 21 instead of 71!
Chill, life will go on!

You can't have watched too closely, we won 4-0!

I am going to take no lessons from a total cretin like you.
Got it, good.
Go back to the bottom of the pond.

see you there then

Of course we did!
God knows why I put that.
Senility, drink?..........possibly both!
Now edited to save my blushes!

Really? All he's done so far is bluster, wave his arms around, bang the table and promise to spend a lot of money that he'll have to borrow. Hardly encouraging for me. In fact, I think he'll end up to be more of a liability than anything else. The so called Boris charm will only get you so far and won't cut much ice with the EU, or other respected leaders around the world. I don't count Trump as a respected leader, of course.

**** me you’re a pensioner and your spouting this sort of bile on a footy forum, grow up man you’re acting like a delinquent ffs.

I thought you meant my IQ

Do you not think the vitriol would be any different (or any less) if Corbyn was in Boris 'the saviour' 's position?

Oh dear. And I had such hopes for you.

As soon as a world leader starts spouting bollocks about making the country great again, then I start to get very nervous. It normally means they haven’t got a clue, they’ll try and use force of personality, whataboutism, pick on minorities and generally blame everyone else. To be honest we haven’t been great since WWII or maybe the early sixties. Economically things aren’t nearly as bad as previous decades so ‘making the country great again’ really is bollocks.
Boris is a prick. He wouldn’t piss on any of us if we were on fire unless it benefitted him. To be fair this is a trait of most politicians at the moment.
If I was it a locked room with Boris, Corbyn, mcdowell, Reese ****ing Mogg and Farage and I had a gun with only one round then I’d shoot myself.

Well unless that was a load of bollocks in Manchester, I can only conclude HS2 is being scrapped in the Autumn.

Just about the only 2 things Boris is likely to do that I'd approve of would be to drop HS2 and the 3rd Heathrow runway. Environmental disasters, I'm afraid.

You make some fair points but having the PM instil a bit of positivity and belief that this country can prosper and succeed is no bad thing. Ultimately he will be judged on delivery just like all previous PM's. If (big if) he gets Brexit done and the world doesn't end as predicted then he might end up surprising quite a few people ... not that they would admit it obviously.

If he can hang on (which is doubtful) and Goldsmith in at the Environment, they are both gonna look VERY stupid if Heathrow goes ahead.
