Title: The Rise and Fall of Boris Johnson
Post by: SydneyRover on April 01, 2024, 11:22:20 pm
First prog shown last night, had to put the screen protector up. It's hard to watch it all unfolding, especially the media fawning around his every movement. It clearly shows how he used his own lack of morals and behaviour to deflect from any serious conversation about what he intended to do at any time about anything ........ which the media in all forms couldn't get enough.

Yeah, and I can't imagine why anyone would say he had the right idea about levelling up.

Oops, it seems that Keith said it the other day. Well, well, well.

Second episode last night shows how much time this bunch spent in settling scores and how it interfered with government.

The realisations that hits johnson and gove that they 'won' the referendum is something.

Scenes of johnson as foreign secretary are excruciating.

As PM, May in a tory conference speech said "Can Boris Johnson stay on message for a full four days?" and was greeted with rousing applause with johnson in the room much embarrassed, heady days aye?

''1,236,000
The number of dual UK and another citizenship usual residents doubled from 613,000 (1.1%) in 2011 to 1,236,000 (2.1%) in 2021. These changes are likely tied to increases in the non-UK-born population since 2011''

Aren’t Brits living abroad able to vote now in our elections, so it’s important to know what’s happening here. In fact the Conservatives have a Keep in Touch site to help, and also hired a voter registration coordinator to ensure maximum turnout of their supporters abroad.

Ep 3 last week all about johnson's selfish, sordid private life.

Ep 4 this week all about Cummings (almost forgotten about him) partygate the lies, the lies, damned lies and he's gone.

It brought back the upheaval of week after week of utter chaos with every new scandal and thinking he cannot possibly last another week, a day, an hour ...........

And yet he still thinks he's special ........

''Boris Johnson broke rules over Venezuela talks, government advisers say

Boris Johnson broke government rules by being "evasive" about a meeting with the Venezuelan president, the committee that vets ex-ministers' work has said.

The former PM had failed to clarify his relationship with a hedge fund that set up the talks, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) said''

I heard a healthy portion of salt and vinegar clears the chlamydia infections on chips, even in Sproty.
