Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

[Cassandra]

In all the interviews with the Boris apologists I haven't heard them being given this line of questioning:-
" Did you receive an invite to any of the "gatherings"?
If so did you accept?
If not would you have accepted if you had received one, or would you have declined on principle?
If you would have declined on principle how can you defend the "principles" of our Prime Minister?"

Not sure what kind of fantasy land you think politics is Phil. I'm out.

Good, because you don’t seem to be able to wrap your head around a very fucking simple notion. Do wrong, get caught, get punished.
You offering up reasons why that isn’t or shouldn’t be the case is why very few people care about politics.
I mean, I’ve said it’s a fantasy more or less but that’s the problem. It shouldn’t be, it should be cut and dried.
Your version of politics, which whilst maybe being the way it is, doesn’t make it the right version and surprisingly the public are starting to feel a little aggrieved with what they’re being served up.
Jesus, you getting on your high horse because, shock, horror, people want some culpability? Take your superiority and shove it right up your arse.

Boris setting the nations moral code.

In that case. We're a nation of cunts.

And only then if they are sure there are enough MPs who will back the call of no confidence in the ‘Lovable rogue’ - 180? Otherwise he can’t be challenged for another 12 months.

Good point. The dilemma they would have is that the problems will only continue under his leadership and the calls for his resignation will only grow louder. So, say the 54 target is reached and a no-confidence vote is triggered, then even if he did survive, he would be gravely wounded and the threat of another challenge would hang in the air for the remainder of this parliament. The opposition would smell blood. Alternatively, you dispense with him now, put Sunak in place and allow him two years at the helm; you might even go to the polls early again with Sunak if the economic omens allow.

Lovely isn’t it. They are between a rock and a hard place. Get rid now and the new one has to take the flak for all the crap down the line this year (and there is much to come) or keep Johnson and force him out later so he takes the blame. Either way they are in for a torrid time. - hopefully.

I love the simple irony that the perceived lovable buffoon persona of the lying fraud and his brexit promises almost exclusively won them an 80 seat majority, and now they will hopefully lose most, if not all of those gains, because his real character is appearing before our very eyes and the real horror of brexit will soon appear too. He won it and will now lose it almost single-handedly.
It‘s been quicker than I thought, but then again I underestimated, as we all did, his total lack of ability and credibility.

Conversely, you could dispense with his services at the most opportune time (say the next six months) and then have him and Hancock serve as scapegoats for anything the pandemic inquiry finds. As much as the Conservatives are going to be in a pickle, the Opposition will have to be sure about what they (the parties) really want, too. Better to stomach a lame duck prime minister and two years of internecine warfare, which could lead to a Conservative defeat in 2024, or better to face a fresh prime minister at the polls in 2022/2023?
