Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Goat]

he is deeply damaging the Conservative party.

Ah so its a good thing hes still there then.

 

[Jimmy James]

This is the crux of it.

Whatever you think of the conservatives as a party historically I think Johnson is so far removed from any of those values anyway - He is just a despicable human being and eventually it’ll all catch up with him.

And as been pointed out elsewhere, Johnson and his crass populism are driving political polarization to the extent where enough people are so partisan that they can excuse / deflect / cheerlead indefensible behaviour.

Just like Starmers Beergate and Labour saying Rayner wasn’t even there. I’ve not seen one person on here to even suggest that he has done wrong, even though there was a photograph of him swigging beer and Rayner sat in the room…..

He said He would resign if fined a man of honour, while your lying Rat ? will just cling on regardless, says a lot about you if you continue to pointlessly defend him. Johnson belongs in the sewer.

 

[Jimmy James]

That's not aimed at Pete tho. ^^^ He's just still clearly unable or unwilling to consistently argue in good faith.

 

[mahermi1]

He's been shown to be a liar and completely untrustworthy and that attitude seeps through his party with a new scandal every week seemingly.

The PPE contracts are along the same lines of the profiteering during the war while families struggled to put bread on the table.

The only reason he hasn't gone is because they respect the voter so little that they think they can just lie and brush everything under the carpet as they scaremonger against the vision of the opposition.

Top post.

There were four on my dining room table tonight and the three of us weren’t having a party either…….

If he lied to the HoC he should go, but it seems to be the usual media hyperventilating so far…….

literal

How many of those bottles did you drink Pete after you saw the photo on the Times front page.. lol

 

[Old Blue 2]

Boris had a glass of wine. Blair took us to war and the violent deaths of hundreds of thousands in Iraq on the back of his ‘WMD’ report. You compare Boris and a glass of wine to the Nazis and their atrocities across Europe for 6 years…yes, I can well see how todays media and social media would let the actual Nazis get away with it…….

You have no comprehension of comparisons, and how to structure a reasoned, logical, premise in order to make a point. Quite simply, you are out of your depth in making point that would be instantly demolished in court, or in any legal wrangle.

In case you haven't realised, you are trying to defend the indefensible.

 

[Old Blue 2]

I think if the Police report for that instance was released, and people in that room declared it was a party and that Boris didn’t just turn up to say goodbye then fair enough. His red box being centre stage suggests work either took place before or was about to take place immediately after.……

You haven't a clue how to conduct an investigation, have you?

Not a clue...

 

[mahermi1]

Not a clue...

Unbelievable isn't it, here's what probably happened, he dumped his red box on a chair, out of the way, so he could get to the booze even quicker.

[Lobster Johnson]

I will, as soon as it’s proven….

Other people in that room got fined for what the Prime Minister is pictured doing.

He could burn your house down and you'd defend him

 

[Lobster Johnson]

This is just pure emotive political assumption. The Police actually investigated this instance and Boris did not get a fine. Now bearing in mind they were fining people all over the shop if he had broken the law he would have been fined, he wasn’t so he didn’t….

Fair point, the met have never been known to go easy on the Tories.

 

[Thomasc]

I can’t even understand any individual defending Johnson anymore…guy is obviously a scumbag and not fit for high office, the people who adore him just simply don’t care. It’s a bit weird…but each to their own as it’s impossible for him to do much wrong in their eyes.

I’ve been a bit meh about the whole partygate thing by now because it just doesn’t surprise me at all that they broke their own rules, changed their story countless times, tried to cover up the report and the met seemingly half assed large parts of the inquiry.

If I had lost someone due to covid during that period and I saw that picture this evening I’d be apoplectic.

Whatever you think of the conservatives as a party historically I think Johnson is so far removed from any of those values anyway - He is just a despicable human being and eventually it’ll all catch up with him.

This is all true.

This Tory party is very far removed from what they were and is quite simply a cabal of manipulation, deceit and corruption.

Amber Rudd, Ken Clarke and other senior Tory’s all resigned because they wanted no part in it.

It’s the party of the far right now, but amazingly you have working class people voting for these elitist con artists for some reason.

Johnson is such a vile individual, it beggars belief how a con man like that is in the top role, but says a lot about how low U.K. standards have dropped, we are actually in the gutter politically.

I see parody pete was cheerleading again last night.
