[Politics] Johnson resigns from parliament

[The Clamp]

it will be amusing to see what he does next as he has a LOT of outgoings

Yet, always manages to find someone else to foot the bill. Us included.

Despite being a proven liar, a convicted criminal and being known for throwing loyal followers under the bus…like all conmen, he manages to get someone else to fund it all.

He could pop up as a crocodile farmer in Geelong or a cartoonist in Pease Pottage, some other mug will be singing his praises and funding the venture. Guaranteed.

Imagine what could happen if he did become a crocodile farmer in Geelong though. All it would take is one wrong move.

He’d wriggle out of the death roll somehow

More likely to be spat out

I've seen him "move" in several of those "look at me, I'm going for a run" media event things where he gets out of the blindside of a taxi with photographers present and starts jogging. If a wild zebra can be caught, I wouldn't fancy his chances.

Edit - as per Stat Brother, maybe crocodiles have standards. A rotting hippopotamus carcass would be edible, but Boris might be just too disgusting.

Grant Shapps / Michael Green / Corinne Stockheath / Sebastian Fox (whatever he is calling himself today) was doing the media round this morning claiming that Gordon Brown when he "resigned" put 50 people in the Lords and that was much smaller a list then Johnson.

Of course Brown didn't resign, his list was a dissolution honours list that are given on the dissolution of parliament prior to a general election.

.. and it was cross party.

The BBC had to give a correction after the interview.

Even with Boris out the way, they are quite to go on national television and lie.

He's also claimed this morning he voted to leave the EU.

Unfortunately.....

I was a Remainer but now I'm backing Brexit all the way, as hard as you like | BrexitCentral

At the back of my mind as I voted to Remain on 23rd June, was the thought that divorce can be one of the most stressful things in life. I knew the pain of an EU divorce was never going to be comfortable. While the decision was a hugely difficult one, my view was that …

Greased piglets are notoriously difficult to pin down.

Apparently the House of Lords Committee has rejected 8 nominations for peerages, Johnson put forward.
Mind you, they did that with Lebedev and Crudditch (sp) but Johnson overruled them.

He did manage to make a peer out of a 24 yr old blond, with no qualifications who worked as a SpAd.
I wonder if Carrie knows?

 

[Easy 10]

DAME Priti Patel certainly grates. And SIR Jacob Rees-Mogg

Oh Boris. What a c*nt you truly are.

 

[Easy 10]

Oh. And Fabricant. SIR FABRICANT

f***ing hell.

They are finished. You really think they would get their shit together and attack the opposition but they all know the game is up.

It's all now about who is leader in opposition and what the Conservative party becomes.

They have totally collapsed in on themselves. There’s not one trustworthy person in government.

They’ve left a trail of fallen and disgraced ministers and PM’s in their wake.

From Cameron, the man who flushed the U.K. down the shitter to save his bacon and then did a runner.

Theresa May, comparatively competent but completely un-fuckable and a throughly nasty piece of work.

Priti Patel, the racist immigrant who hates immigrants.

The man with the amazing jelly spine, Hancock. Who pretended to cry over tens of thousands of dead people but ended up laughing instead and somehow managed to persuade some Saturday girl to let him finger-blast her under a CCTV camera in Downing Street while the rest of us were having to make do with shaking our balls around to Jo Wicks in the morning.

Boris Johnson. The end-of-level Mega **** who gets told to f*** off out of it twice and still hopes to come back and be told to f*** off a third time. Partied through lockdown and then used our taxes to lie his way through an inquiry set up by himself to investigate his own lying. And was still shocked when it found out he was lying.

And we are left with Sunak. A man so removed from reality he has drifted into the realms of the delusional and who looks like a politically correct Postman Pat character.
It speaks volumes that if you looked around 10 Downing Street, a man who takes a f***ing RAF helicopter to Southampton isn’t the first corrupt thing you’ll come across.
I imagine he let the man whose car he pretended to fill up at the petrol station pay for the fuel.
The wealthiest PM in history who is happy to let schools try and feed children for £1.20 a day.
A PM whose wealth was created by his wife because I can’t imagine he’d survive the first morning in a proper workplace doing actual work. He’d have had his lunch money taken off him by 10 am and had his head flushed down the loo twice by coffee break.

Great Britain. We are a long, long f***ing way from Great.

Yet 1 in 5 will still vote Conservative, rising to 2 in 5 in rural areas.

I agree with your points here but would you mind taking the bit about autism out of your comparison.

I don't want to be that guy but autism is not anything to do with being removed from reality it is a different way of experiencing reality. Both experiences are equally real. As a society we can be better for a lot of people by accepting others' reality and experiences. There is a thread on here about the subject. it shows that many of us are affected by autism to different degrees.

Please don't use it as an insult/comparison to a negative aspect of someone's personality.

Fair point. Will do

Agree completely. What happens when they get removed from power will be interesting to watch. A few 'grandees' -- Hague, Gove, etc -- will try to steer the debate, but their overwhelming problem is that the membership will have the final say.
