Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

[Vic]

I think the reason that the report recommends a 90 day suspension is because even if some of his supporters campaign to get the punishment reduced they would need to get it below 10 days from 90 - if they were very very lucky they might get a 50% reduction but that is still 45 days. And that stands and would cause a recall referendum for Johnson.

So in his world Dorries steps down and he somehow gets central office to accept him as a candidate ( they won't ) and he wins in Mid Beds and becomes an MP then the act of being an MP activates the suspension with immediate effect and so he would face a recall referendum in his new seat which needs just 10% of the constituency to vote recall and he is into a by-election again.

He has his mucker Zac Goldsmith who loans him his house in southern France and who by co-incidence was elevated to the Lords by Johnson to thank for that ..... pmsl

A bit like the Today prog with the Mrs Merton question to Michael Fabricant:
"What was it that first made you decide to defend the man who gave you a knighthood?"

Through his decisions, he should be tried for manslaughter

Yep, it's one thing to do your best and do what you think is right and get it wrong. It's quite another to demonstrably not give a shit, resulting in people dying. One is an honest mistake, the other is negligence.

Not that the laws in the UK would for a second allow someone in a powerful position to be tried for the consequences of their decision. *cough* Grenfell *cough*

An overly theatrical performance for nobody’s benefit other than getting herself on YouTube.

Are you now attacking anyone who tells the truth about Liar Johnson?

You may have thought it overly theatrical but what about the substance of what she and the privileges committee said, do you agree with their findings or do you think he has in fact not misled the house and treated it with contempt?

I am at a loss in how people can actually defend this guy?? What hold does he have over them?

People like Fabricant have been beyond the pale for some time but there will also be a (potentially significant) number of conservative MPs who on Monday will abstain in the vote on the report for fear of reprisals from their local memberhip. In doing so they will clearly be indicating that they actually don't give any sort of toss at all about parliamentary democracy they care exclusively about saving their sorry asses. Hopefully every single one of them will be packed off into obscurity at the next election.

I can see quite a few being shit scared of the outcome of the covod enquiry

They’re just not very bright. Can’t be any other reason.

 

[threespires]

All 17m of them?

Sometimes you can give the electorate the benefit of the doubt in it's choices but it was so crushingly obvious he was unfit for office that we as a population have to take responsibility too and try and learn some lessons.
