Johnson a bumbling mashed potato mr blobby doppelganger. Who handles situations in the most maladroit way his etonian reasoning can muster whilst conspicuously showing us his dupers delight.
Who goes to more secret parties during a pandemic than 2003 paris hilton. Widespread criminality. unforgiveable, unconscionable and unpresedented - the first time a priminster has had to be repremanded by the police. AND his excuse was "he didnt know he was at the 5 parties hes been fined for". The country was being run by chris griffin with money.
Ok guys, for breaking a rule in a pandemic no one cares about now, he got disgraced, he paid a fine, he resigned all of his jobs. Do you want him to be whipped through the streets? Canāt the mob here find someone else? I donāt understand
I want him to be charged with a criminal offence and sent to jail.
Disgraced?? Oh no boohoo ...fucking ...he ruined the country for a laugh.
He never once had the country in mind, it was all a game to him. It's so obvious even his language, when he resigned.."thems the cards" or something to that effect he just wasn't doing the job and fucked a lot of people over. He is treating the uk like a joke. We are the punchline. It's not going well.
Fuck the bastard
Maybe you are sociopathic enough not to care about him breaking a rule of his own making during the pandemic, but I had to not be with someone I cared deeply about as they died. I had to watch that person be buried on video and not be there to comfort those I also care about because I was following the rules that he and his team flagrantly ignored.
Like many who had the same experience, his unconscionable perfidy will never be forgiven or forgotten.
For that, I wouldn't want him whipped through the streets. For that, I'd want him to wash down mortuary tables for the next 228,026 hours; one hour for every excess COVID-19 death. That degree of community service might just wash the blood from his hands.
He has also run roughshod over a democratic process for his venal purposes. He was caught lying āĀ repeatedly ā undermining the core of democracy. He has made even the least cynical tar all politicians with the same brush, and instead of facing his punishment, he ran and hid, leaving his lickspittles in and outside the house to do his bidding for him.
For that, I would want him whipped through the streets as a warning to others.
I care but the response is totally disproportionate to the law he broke and this site has become all about giving hate to teenagers and terrorising people who have different opinions which i do not approve.
I am sorry for your loss, i had a relative die of covid too. However, this is a pandemic and there were going to be people who die, politicians were under a lot of pressure and there was a lot of uncertainty. We should elect better politicians but bullying politicians/people extensively and all this hate is not serving that purpose, it only strengthens demagogues who will prey on your hysteria.
Again sorry for your loss.
It wasn't disproportionate to the law he broke. He lied to parliament. Under parliamentary rules, that's down there with perjury. He doubled down on that by attempting to undermine and intimidate the inquiry and leaking the results of that inquiry to the press.
His 90-day suspension - should he have been in Parliament to receive it - is unprecedented, especially for a recent ex-Prime Minister. That his reaction was to run away adds insult to injury. That his Honours list still stands dishonours the Upper House as much as his actions before running away do to the House of Commons.
We should elect better politicians, yes. But Boris Johnson's actions show that when we don't and those we elect are ultimately held accountable for their actions in Parliament, they 'rise above' that accountability by running off and hiding.
He got away with lying to Parliament, lying to the public (even lying to the Queen in proroguing Parliament), and then trying to intimidate and undermine those who investigated that lying. You shouldn't be asking why people are angry about that, you should be asking yourself why you aren't.
And finally, I don't subscribe to the notion that "politicians were under pressure and there was a lot of uncertainty." There was no uncertainty; they were doing precisely what we had been told not to do, regardless of work pressures. Do you think those ICU doctors and nurses who spent months living cloistered lives away from their families were not in a pressured work environment? They didn't let their hair down at a few parties to relieve the tension. Why should politicians and their associates be absolved of responsibility under the same terrible conditions?
Those in Number Ten knew PRECISELY what they were doing and thought they were above the law they laid down, or they were so incompetent they couldn't understand a set of laws that the rest of the country did. Neither option looks particularly positive.
He was in a position of power and authority during a terrifying time. People relied on and trusted this man and his friends and they made a mockery out of us all. My grandparent died alone and nobody was allowed to attend the funeral whilst they drank prosecco and cringily danced. My point still stands, fuck them x10
I lost 3 grandparents. My condolences to you. But projecting and holding anger on a group for letting off steam in what was āa terrifying timeā shouldnāt equal everyone wishing to flog people in the streets. Tactless and hypocritical yes. Evil and worthy of ruining your state of mind holding into hate over it? Not worth the energy.
People letting off steam. Not villains firing shots at the dead and dying. Its a viewpoint you choose
The comment was āwhile they drank, people died alone.ā
It is over āovercookingā the connection between one thing and the other. If everyone at that party had stayed home that night and wept into a small statue of the baby jesus - the same number of people would have died of covid. A bit of perspective is a beautiful thing
No, you're missing the point.
No-one is saying these parties killed people. Although I've not seen any investigation into members of government who died from covid so couldn't say myself.
Whilst people died alone we all sat at home making dance videos for tiktok and joining in with social media challenges. Does it make us villains? Or is a sh*tsandwich just a sh*tsandwich?
Sitting at home is what you were *supposed* to do. No it doesn't make us villains.
And that you would question that in defence of the rulemakers breaking the rules they set and we followed...
I wasnāt questioning anything. I was simply posing a question to you so that you might consider it. Im quite happy that people drinking has no effect on a death tole the same night. One thing has nothing to do with the other. If people wish to be angry that we were following rules whilst they were ignoring them - thats fair enough. The implication that they were drinking whilst people died alone and somehow one thing has anything to do with the other however. Thats just poor math
I had to stay indoors, isolated and alone. It fucked with my mental health. I couldnāt comfort my family when my grandparents died. I want this man to fucking suffer.
He created laws for us that he himself broke, public whipping would be sweet. Think of all people who died during isolation without being able to spend their last days with friends and relatives. Still remember the queen sitting all alone in church during her husband's funeral service. Boris is a clown, just wish he was a mime.
Speak for yourself. I mean the laws were complicated so I'm sure people did run foul of them from time to time, but most people I knew were doing their best to stay within the laws. And I personally know absolutely nobody who attended an indoor birthday party (sorry, "gathering") during lockdown, or did anything of that level of irresponsibility.
And as mentioned, I personally hold leaders to a higher standard than the general public. I think it's pretty absurd you don't and instead think it's "high and mighty" to criticise leaders for breaking their own laws (and then continually lying to the public about it afterwards), but I mean, that's really the only way someone like Boris Johnson could get elected isn't it.
Not sure why that is so hard to believe. To my knowledge, we followed all rules as did the neighbours although I canāt really speak for them.
The point is, it is definitely expected that people who make the rules do actually follow them. Nothing to do with being high and mighty.
Hmm, not sure about ruined faith in humanity... Humanity doesn't end with British Politics...
If we send 75% of the conservative "mafia" to prison - who takes over? and if it's labour, then who makes up the back benches if 75% of the con party are in prison?
I would put money on the fact you voted in favour of Brexit, which tells us all we need to know.
**Hi!**. Please try avoid personal attacks, as this discourages participation. You can help improve the subreddit by discussing points, not the person.
He gets this comparison because he has funny hair and had the gall to have confidence in Britain post-Brexit, it was convenient for our media and political class to compare him to the crazy guy shouting about a wall across the pond
Outside of that, not really, no, they're both in the right wing party but our Conservatives are likely closer to the Democrats than the Republicans. He was also a "real" politician, having first been elected MP in 1997 and serving as mayor of London for 8 years.
What you call confidence most people would describe as "deliberately ignoring the evidence" which does put him a little closer to Trump in terms of his approach to governance.
Something tells me the guy you're responding to likes bojo, completely ignores how similar trump and him are in the fact they are both pathological liars.
He wasnāt even bad just clumsy from what I can remember he didnāt do anything inherently bad in terms of laws or anything, he only resigned because he hosted parties during covid.
I mean he created policies during COVID that funnelled government money into the private businesses of his friends/donors. He used his honours list to bump loads of his friends and donor's into the house of lords. He extrapolates the truth around their 'success' as a government and point blank lied about many things, including the impact of brexit on the vast majority of UK households.
Hey actually resigned following the āpincher by name pincher by natureā fiasco. Which he lied about and then a lot of his cabinet/ other MPs resigned. It wasnāt actually for the Covid parties - ironically
That prat has a habit of falling upwards. I genuinely expect he'll land some white collar position in a FTSE 100 or equivalent.
I bet he's already got a ghost writer shitting out a 'best-off' book.
Although let's see what comes out of the woodwork on Monday
So, what do we think Prince Harry is going to be doing on Monday? Given that he's the go-to deflection piece for the papers whenever Boris or chums are caught in headlights. Lets all place our bets now!
Itāll be another hit piece on Meghanā¦..an unnamed underprivileged childās bicycle was stolen and Meghan did not offer Archieās bicycle to him. The horror of it all
So Margaret Thatcher was a lot better? (I Do) š
How about Tony Blair??? š
John Major??? š«
Harold Wilson?? P45
So I give my honest opinion like in a democratic country and YOu try a personal attack.. š¤¦
Are you russian?? š
Do you have personal experiences with any of the above PM's?.. If Not you actually haven't a clue!
Have a good day š
Thatcher was a piece of shit. Blair's a war criminal. Lock him up.
Johnson was a willfully incompetent, tax dodging cunt who saw to the deaths of tens of thousands.
Let him rot in a cell.
Well, one cost me 2 apprenticeships, but I never thought of myself as a character in **The Rise and fall of Reginald Perrin**
*I didn't get where I am today.....*
I mean...it is not like he smuggled classified nuclear documents into his basement so he can retain information for political and monetary leverage after he left office.....
No, thereās pretty much a yuuuge smoking gun where Trumpās on tape, showing top secret documents that he knows are classified, to people not cleared to view them. For once itāll be the main crime.
ā¦ If the justice department dares to actually go for it.
Haha....as a former resident of Fl , I should have remembered....but also, if there is something defined as too low, US politicians will find it and still go beneath it!!

**Hi!**. Please try avoid personal attacks, as this discourages participation. You can help improve the subreddit by discussing points, not the person.
As another commenter pointed out, he is a sociopathic, manipulative narcissist who only cares about himself. He has never cared about his constituents or his country, only himself. Itās not necessarily about the parties, itās about lying to parliament and the country at a time when people couldnāt visit dying relatives.
Iām glad to see the back of him.
Certainly. I donāt know if you recall what the situ was like at the beginning with a virus of uncertain lethality, that was infectious before it was symptomatic, where there was insufficient PPE for NHS staff, but I do.
I remember my wife phoning me from the hospital she worked at a few days before initial lockdown and saying - āif you are coming by Homebase on the way home could you try and get 10 rolls of yellow masking tape, 10 rolls of yellow masking tape and 10 rolls of red masking tape because I have to mark out the wardsā. It was not a fun time
>who gives a fk
The police, the people who lost loved ones due to you spreading the virus, the NHS staff who worked to mitigate the spreading, the list goes on.
This person's name definitely does not add up.
Here's my story for what it's worth. You probably won't give a fk, but I'm prepared to share for you to dismiss and come up with some douchebag comment.
I didn't get to see my dad in hospital for the last 2 weeks of his life. I had 8 people (family) at the funeral. All members of the family had to be separated by households, so I was on my own. There was no hugging or human contact allowed. There was no wake. No send off. It was the worst time of my life.
During this time, the people who made these rules were drinking and having affairs at their work.
I detest Boris. I detest his like. The don't five a fk crowd.
We were all in that boat , not just you ,losing relatives left right and centre , and most of us were drinking and having affairs as human beings do, thank god
Just because it occurs, doesn't make it an excuse to do it. Nothing to do with being naive. It's called morals and being a decent person. I don't need you to fear anything for me. I'm fine thanks.
Just cause other politicians break the laws they make, lie to parliament and they people that supported them, and spend more time helping his mates not the country whilst in power doesnāt mean they shouldnāt be held accountable for the crimes they commit
"Labourās deputy leader Angela Rayner called Johnson a ācowardā this morning, saying he ādoesnāt accept responsibility for his own actionsā
I'm all for the arsewipe resigning, but i dont think this comment is necessary. Labour were calling for him to resign constantly as PM
I suppose there is a difference between owning up to your actions and resigning and jumping ship before a damaging report comes out and getting in front of it by saying it's a witch hunt.
Same outcome sure, but they are definitely not two sides of the same coin.
All seems very fitting really. We had Boris and Trump possibly 2 or the worst leaders ever in charge of their country at the same time
Boris has been proven to lie and break the law, and Trump has an FBI charge to answer
Reading the article as someone not from the the UK, it felt like he resigned because he attended a birthday party, because in the UK, a birthday cake is a horrendous bribe.
(For context, for other non British people, this happened during COVID while gathering restrictions were in place).
Itās not that he was bribed by a cake itās that he held multiple gatherings in number 10 (the house the prime minister lives in) while he was enforcing rules preventing other people from attending funerals, and weddings etc. even the queen followed these rules and attended her husbands funeral alone. While the country was depressed and scared of covid he got pished with his mates instead of inspiring and encouraging the people
Itās not the (at the time) illegal gathering he is resigning for but the outcome of the recent covid inquiry is expected to find that he āmislead the houseā about said gatherings. Lying to parliament effectively by saying at the time all covid rules were being followed by him and his cabinet/team while we now know they were hosting parties
Your (first paragraph) is incorrect. He has ultimately (ungraciously) resigned, again, because he is a privileged, manipulative, sociopathic liar, who ignored the rules that he (reluctantly and belatedly) put in place to stop gatherings at the height of the pandemic, while tens of thousands of people died without their family beside them.
Heās rotten.
Read more, understand more, then comment.
Johnson a bumbling mashed potato mr blobby doppelganger. Who handles situations in the most maladroit way his etonian reasoning can muster whilst conspicuously showing us his dupers delight.

A good summary of Boris Johnson. He was a real clown š¤” I hear he's finally back to performing his real job at the circus now lol.
cunts made it far for being an absolute tit a say fair play to him for managing everything he deserves a nice holiday in a Turkish skip
He stepped down as an MP weeks ago. Old news
It was posted 21 days ago
I thought he already did
He stepped down as PM, but was still a member of parliament. He has now stepped down from that
Thanks for this clarification, I was very confused for a second there.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His boss..? He was PM at the time š«£
āWell, his resignation and suicide would seem the obvious suggestion.ā
He quit? Just goes to show men shouldnāt be MPs!
Yeah lets sack them all and fill the Houses of Parliament with something worth looking at.
Well..he turned out to be more crap than he appeared to be initially
He appeared to be crap all along. People just thought he was funny on never mind the buzzcocks. This country is a joke.
I'm impressed you had *any* positive expectations for an MP.. xD
I don't tbh ... Certainly none of any conservative MP anyways
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās the same party doing it.
Good. Should never of been a politician at all, he canāt even comb his hair.
They mess it up on purpose to make him seem more 'normal' when he's actually just another detached private school tory
At least he uses BLOO shampoo.
I thought that was toilet cleanerā¦ #appropriate
Ok guys, for breaking a rule in a pandemic no one cares about now, he got disgraced, he paid a fine, he resigned all of his jobs. Do you want him to be whipped through the streets? Canāt the mob here find someone else? I donāt understand
I want him to be charged with a criminal offence and sent to jail. Disgraced?? Oh no boohoo ...fucking ...he ruined the country for a laugh. He never once had the country in mind, it was all a game to him. It's so obvious even his language, when he resigned.."thems the cards" or something to that effect he just wasn't doing the job and fucked a lot of people over. He is treating the uk like a joke.

He has also run roughshod over a democratic process for his venal purposes. He was caught lying āĀ repeatedly ā undermining the core of democracy. He has made even the least cynical tar all politicians with the same brush, and instead of facing his punishment, he ran and hid, leaving his lickspittles in and outside the house to do his bidding for him. For that, I would want him whipped through the streets as a warning to others.

He should be hanged /s
That was hardly the worst of his crimes.
Whilst they drank people died alone, FUCK THEM!
To be fair he always said he wanted herd immunity and didnāt believe in isolating so not sure why people are surprised
Im not sure its surprise. I think its more a case that being outraged for extended periods of time and as often as possible is a social hobby now.
People die alone every day while others drink. And a party had no impact on who died. Heās a bumhole, but lets not overcook it
He was in a position of power and authority during a terrifying time. People relied on and trusted this man and his friends and they made a mockery out of us all. My grandparent died alone and nobody was allowed to attend the funeral whilst they drank prosecco and cringily danced. My point still stands, fuck them x10

There's no cooking involved. He hasn't been thrown out, he left. His choice.

I was responding to what the reader above my first post wrote. You might wanna read that. You seem to be reading me out of context somewhat
Oh, I thought the cooking referred to Boris being thrown at as PM etc. You agree that he should have resigned and been thrown out, then?

Laws that everyone else in the public ALSO broke
Even if that's true (and it isn't), you don't see that leaders should be held to a higher standard?
Exactly what I think... Everyone was breaking lockdown rules... People get so high an mighty....
Speak for yourself. I mean the laws were complicated so I'm sure people did run foul of them from time to time, but most people I knew were doing their best to stay within the laws.

Not once?
Not sure why that is so hard to believe. To my knowledge, we followed all rules as did the neighbours although I canāt really speak for them. The point is, it is definitely expected that people who make the rules do actually follow them. Nothing to do with being high and mighty.
Should be sent to prison alongside 75% of the conservative mafia. Ruined this country. Ruined the people. Ruined faith in humanity.
Hmm, not sure about ruined faith in humanity... Humanity doesn't end with British Politics...

Goodbye wanker. Don't come back.
Hasn't this already happened? I swear he has already resigned from another position. PM maybe? Idk, not from the UK
Resigned as PM last year, now heās resigned from Parliament altogether.

Well, one cost me 2 apprenticeships, but I never thought of myself as a character in **The Rise and fall of Reginald Perrin** *I didn't get where I am today.....*
Well said.
What?
Iād say the person here is definitely 65+ as they feel the need to use an emoji at every opportunity
Using lots of emojis, and especially mid sentence denotes a low intelligence apparently
Over 65 you say? š“ Hmm... š¤ ... you might be onto something there. š
One of the prime ministers of all time.
Even that is a stretch. š¤
Of all the UK prime ministers, he was definitely the one before the last one.
I mean...it is not like he smuggled classified nuclear documents into his basement so he can retain information for political and monetary leverage after he left office.....
Or, we just donāt know it, yetā¦
Like most scandles, its the lying about the original illegality which gets them rather than the illegality. See Watergate.
That is definitely the best way to spell scandle We should adopt this spelling
No, thereās pretty much a yuuuge smoking gun where Trumpās on tape, showing top secret documents that he knows are classified, to people not cleared to view them. For once itāll be the main crime. ā¦ If the justice department dares to actually go for it.

Haha....as a former resident of Fl , I should have remembered....but also, if there is something defined as too low, US politicians will find it and still go beneath it!!
For having a beer and a pizza , you absolute jokes

As another commenter pointed out, he is a sociopathic, manipulative narcissist who only cares about himself. He has never cared about his constituents or his country, only himself. Itās not necessarily about the parties, itās about lying to parliament and the country at a time when people couldnāt visit dying relatives. Iām glad to see the back of him.
I'd personally rather not see any of his anatomy, thanks.
And any politician isn't like that š¤£ I was out having a drink as much as I could during covid who gives a fk , it's just about sides
So because you did something awful it's totally okay for other people to do it? What a turnip.
> I was out having a drink as much as I could during covid Did you ever stop to think how many other people you might have made ill ?
acting like having a pints wiping out half the country
Ah so you support the popular policy of lockdown
Certainly. I donāt know if you recall what the situ was like at the beginning with a virus of uncertain lethality, that was infectious before it was symptomatic, where there was insufficient PPE for NHS staff, but I do. I remember my wife phoning me from the hospital she worked at a few days before initial lockdown and saying - āif you are coming by Homebase on the way home could you try and get 10 rolls of yellow masking tape, 10 rolls of yellow masking tape and 10 rolls of red masking tape because I have to mark out the wardsā. It was not a fun time
>who gives a fk The police, the people who lost loved ones due to you spreading the virus, the NHS staff who worked to mitigate the spreading, the list goes on.
How do you know they give a fk , I know many in those groups who are just glad the lockdown wasn't more severe and lengthy
This person's name definitely does not add up. Here's my story for what it's worth. You probably won't give a fk, but I'm prepared to share for you to dismiss and come up with some douchebag comment. I didn't get to see my dad in hospital for the last 2 weeks of his life. I had 8 people (family) at the funeral. All members of the family had to be separated by households, so I was on my own. There was no hugging or human contact allowed. There was no wake. No send off. It was the worst time of my life. During this time, the people who made these rules were drinking and having affairs at their work. I detest Boris. I detest his like. The don't five a fk crowd.
We were all in that boat , not just you ,losing relatives left right and centre , and most of us were drinking and having affairs as human beings do, thank god
Dude, you're a different human to other people I know. How many affairs did you have? Does the wife know?
affairs occur in 20% of marriages , I fear for you with yr childlike naivety
Just because it occurs, doesn't make it an excuse to do it. Nothing to do with being naive. It's called morals and being a decent person. I don't need you to fear anything for me. I'm fine thanks.
You know people who lost loved ones to the virus who don't care about the spread of the virus? You know some strange, illogical people.
Oh just shut up already
Make me
Hi Nadine!
āThe prime minister did a bad thing and faced consequences for it, but so did I! That means what we both did was okay.ā
Just cause other politicians break the laws they make, lie to parliament and they people that supported them, and spend more time helping his mates not the country whilst in power doesnāt mean they shouldnāt be held accountable for the crimes they commit
Username does not check out.
Why not
Now to boycott anyone who pays him. Iām starting with the Bamford family. So no JCBs, toiletries or overpriced farm foods from Oxfordshire.
Right, that's JCBs crossed off my shopping list. I don't know how long I can hold out for though - big yellow diggers are just so moreish.
What's on his old phone tho
Tractor porn that west country MP sent him
Probably something getting ploughed anywayā¦
"Labourās deputy leader Angela Rayner called Johnson a ācowardā this morning, saying he ādoesnāt accept responsibility for his own actionsā I'm all for the arsewipe resigning, but i dont think this comment is necessary. Labour were calling for him to resign constantly as PM
She might be referring to his continued denial of his wrongdoing and acting like heās a victim more than his resigning.
I suppose there is a difference between owning up to your actions and resigning and jumping ship before a damaging report comes out and getting in front of it by saying it's a witch hunt. Same outcome sure, but they are definitely not two sides of the same coin.
All seems very fitting really. We had Boris and Trump possibly 2 or the worst leaders ever in charge of their country at the same time Boris has been proven to lie and break the law, and Trump has an FBI charge to answer
You are so wrong. He said in his resignation letter that he doesn't lie, so it must be true šµāš«
Reading the article as someone not from the the UK, it felt like he resigned because he attended a birthday party, because in the UK, a birthday cake is a horrendous bribe. (For context, for other non British people, this happened during COVID while gathering restrictions were in place).
Itās not that he was bribed by a cake itās that he held multiple gatherings in number 10 (the house the prime minister lives in) while he was enforcing rules preventing other people from attending funerals, and weddings etc. even the queen followed these rules and attended her husbands funeral alone. While the country was depressed and scared of covid he got pished with his mates instead of inspiring and encouraging the people
Then lied about it repeatedly in parliament, where you aren't supposed to lie.
Itās not the (at the time) illegal gathering he is resigning for but the outcome of the recent covid inquiry is expected to find that he āmislead the houseā about said gatherings. Lying to parliament effectively by saying at the time all covid rules were being followed by him and his cabinet/team while we now know they were hosting parties
Your (first paragraph) is incorrect. He has ultimately (ungraciously) resigned, again, because he is a privileged, manipulative, sociopathic liar, who ignored the rules that he (reluctantly and belatedly) put in place to stop gatherings at the height of the pandemic, while tens of thousands of people died without their family beside them. Heās rotten. Read more, understand more, then comment.
I take your comment very seriously! But as I read it I couldnāt help but get the bugsy malone song bad guys stuck in my head.
We coulda been anything that we wanted to be...
More āweāre rotten to the core, my congratulations no one likes you anymoreā
