Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

[Blue 1]

Perfectly valid point of view you have there, mate. I see it like this : when you're coming to the end of a dual carriageway with a 60 mph limit, there's often a stepped speed restriction down to 40, and then 30 mph. This is so that people doing 65 aren't suddenly faced by stationary traffic at lights, and either shoot up their back end, or have to jam on, potentially causing a collision. If I'm there at a quiet time, in excellent driving conditions, and can clearly see there's no stationary traffic, then I'm happy to break the rules and do 55 till I brake at the lights, if I can't see any risk. I appreciate that it's technically a rule breach, and would accept the penalty if the Police did me for it, but I still wouldn't believe I was 'wrong', or irresponsible. Ditto for technically being too close and in too large numbers during the restrictions. If I believed, hand on heart, that people would act sensibly, and I didn't consider there to be a material risk, then I'd have broken the rules in a measured way, and not felt at all guilty.

FFS man, you only need to lick the sole of Johnson's Oxford brogue, you don't need to deepthroat it. Where's your self re-cocking-spect?

I just said that didn’t I…..

Thanks for proving my point.

The 60s was, funnily enough, 60 years ago. A lifetime ago. Wonder why they haven’t even had a look in since then.

Times move on and Huyton then had a really good MP in Harold Wilson who became PM. The city changed…..

We are where we are. I’ve said before that Boris is the best of the current bunch. I can’t decry a man for having a glass of wine. I take a more pragmatic view, in that I’d rather Boris than any of the others and that Starmer is a lightweight.

I’ve no doubt Rishi will resign as this is a godsend reason to bale out. But Boris will stick it out…..

Can you decry a man using public funds to fund his mistress?
Can you decry a man lying to a whole nation about Brexit?
Can you decry a man insulting the city you come from?
Can you decry a man running the most corrupt government in the history of U.K. politics?

I don’t know you personally, but you come across as a morally bankrupt embarrassment of a human being Peter. Just an observation.

Or maybe it’s all a WUM thing. I do hope so for your sake. That would actually be less embarrassing for you.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Whoever poured those beers should be sacked…look at how much head is in the glass….

It’s because he lied, as you well know.

Boris fought the law
and Boris won.

If you can't spell "braking", im not having it.

I'm as culpable of typos as anyone else, but thought I'd got my 'brake' and 'break' correct, mate. Perhaps you'd elucidate.

Did stuff like this have anything to do with it

 

[grandjoeblue]

Just seen that Dorries has put down the wine bottle for a few minutes to type a daft tweet supporting Johnson. Has anyone in that cabinet got morals?

 

[tsubaki]

Did he lie to Parliament ?

yes, pete - on the 8th of December last year:

Q6. Will the Prime Minister tell the House whether there was a party in Downing Street on 13 November?

No, but I am sure that whatever happened, the guidance was followed and the rules were followed at all times.

also, from the points of order at the end of PMQs on that day:

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On 3 November, I raised the tragic case of my constituent’s mother who sadly died by suicide, and the Prime Minister agreed to meet me. Mr Speaker, how best can I get that meeting? Essentially, the Prime Minister is now refusing to meet me.

 

[Glasshalffull]

And im the idiot.

Correct, for once.

its not technically a rule breach, it is a rule breach.

Now imagine that someone set the speed limit on that road and whilst everyone else was doing 40mph the one who set the speed limit does 60mph+ and then comes out with drivel such as ‘I didnt think the speed limit applied here’

They should not only set an example, they should be seen to set an example.

Disgusting power hungry chancers the lot of them

Of course not, they are are ALL politicians…..

Get your tongue out of Boris's arsehole will you.

I love the let's leave the corrupt lot in power as the others might be corrupt too. Makes a whole lot of sense.
