Talk Your Way Out Of This One Johnson

Awareness of how others see you is the first step on the road to redemption.

Round of applause for BB folks!

[Bentley Bullet]

I thought you'd done a 'Life On Mars' and was 'a woke' in the 70s.

[SydneyRover]

Politics is a funny thing thing aye with snowballing support within the govt to vote leave for johnson and get it done.

[Bentley Bullet]

An irritating bloke I once knew went to live overseas but continued to message me among others offering his unwanted views on England. I said to him once, "why are you so interested in a country that you wanted to leave?" He said: "I've left England but I'm still a country member."

I said, "Yes, I remember."

Take it from me that he's trying to improve the joint for a return

[SydneyRover]

serious question bb, are you writing johnson's lines for him?

[ravenrover]

It reminds me of Fight Club on here when BB and BST get going, you don't think they could be......... nah impossible........ surely! :-))

[Bentley Bullet]

RR, if you're insinuating we're the same person, the answer is no.

I do have a bad side but not THAT bad!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Tory MPs eh?

Never mind things like data. Just trust your gut instinct.

Poll after poll says 60-70% of the population want Johnson gone. But in this Bone-head, none of that matters - a single, random, anonymous person represents the real world.

Peter Bone could play Mr Burns in a real life Simpsons film. No make-up required.

[River Don]

I think he must be in trouble.

The Sun and Daily Mail haven't gone heavily on any political stories for days now.

It's all been celebrity, royalty and airline chaos.

No real efforts to defend him.

[SydneyRover]

Raaab must like humiliation

[BillyStubbsTears]

I see there's a hoo-ha going on about Johnson's Standards Adviser threatening to quit over Johnson's claim that he didn't break the Ministerial Code.

Just a reminder that Johnson has only been PM for 3 years and already one previous Standards Adviser (Alex Allan) has quit when Johnson ignored Allan's report into Patel's treatment of her staff. Allan's resignation statement would have finished off any previous PM in history. This one? In this party? Who even remembers it, so normalised have they made lying and flouting rules?

That is about as straightforward a "you amoral bas**rd" line as you're ever going to get from a civil servant.

He's saying:
1) It's my job to see that standards are upheld.
2) I've told you categorically that a senior minister has smashed the standards rules.
3) You have publicly said that she did nothing wrong.
4) How could I possibly continue working for you and retain a scrap of self-respect?

[SydneyRover]

I think the logic goes along the lines the johnson believes he accidentally/unwittingly received a fpn

[Donnywolf]

Raaab must like humiliation

He will get plenty when the Electorate of Esher ignore him in next GE.

His Maj is around 2800 so only 1401 need to swap sides and he is toast.

I hear from a local that he is not very popular even before his "sea is closed " " is Dover to Calais a really important trade route" and his food bank visits in Xmas jumper with box of chocolates for staff

He's compared to Jeffrey Fairbrother (the dizzy Maplins Camp director)  from Hi de Hi on Twitter as well.

[SydneyRover]

This show how thick and disconnected johnson is from the real world

''Boris Johnson 'taken aback' by Partygate fine''

Boris Johnson was “very surprised and taken aback” to get a fine for attending an event during lockdown''

[SydneyRover]

johnson's opponents labelled narcissists ................ hmmm

[ravenrover]

There are a couple of people plotting behind the scenes
Who are they?
Erm.... I don't know

Doris Dorries interview

[BobG]

Clearly, an intellectual colossus!

Has there ever been a government with so little intelligence collectively ?

Fascinating that my old mucker Tobias Ellwood is increasingly seen as the intellectual voice of sanity in the Tory party.

He was as thick as a bucket of monkey spunk when we are jousting over politics at university.

[Bentley Bullet]

Perhaps YOU should have joined a party of opportunity as he did instead of choosing to be left in the political gutter of a fourth division off-topic football forum fighting a lost cause for the labour party.

Lt Colonel Tobias Ellwood, 77th Brigade (a combined Regular Army and Army Reserve unit for non-lethal warfare and behavioural influence - or psyops as it is more commonly known)

Should have kept in touch, I am sure he will have some stories to tell.

[drfchound]

If Elwood is a thick as is being claimed then the qualification requirement for whatever university he was at can’t have been too high.
Might explain a lot.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I've told this story before about Ellwood, but it's worth re-telling.

Loughborough Uni wasn't exactly a hotbed of political extremism. But we managed to get a motion passed at a student union meeting to name the Union building after Nelson Mandela. It wasn't much but it was  part of an international movement to keep the issue of Mandela in the public eye.

The motion was passed at a sparsely attended meeting. Caused uproar among the Conservative students, who Ellwood led at Loughborough. He called for an emergency meeting to reverse the decision. (Remember, this was an era where Young Conservatives proudly wore "Hang Nelson Mandela" T-shirts.

Ellwood gave a speech decrying the renaming. He gave the usual ramble about Mandela being a terrorist. Then said "And anyway. Even if you DO think Mandela has been mistreated, why is he the only one that lefties ever highlight. What about...consults notes...what about Steve Riko?"

Silence from the audience.

"Ha! See! You've never heard of Steve Riko."

Murmurs of laughter from the audience.

"It's not funny! Steve Riko was a journalist who died i..."

Interruption from the audience. "It's BIKO you pillock."

Ellwood consults notes. "Ah...err yes! Steve Biko."

Johnson booed going into St Pauls, the people doing the booing are ardent Royalists, the very people that would vote Tory!

[SydneyRover]

Johnson and the queen, never the twain shall meet.

Press reports that they are all to be rounded up and sent to Rwanda.

Becoming a bit of a theme isn't it?
