He can hopefully grab a few consultancies with the Chinese, after all he clearly wants us to become like China...

I mean this the government action he finds unacceptable? Not corruption, second jobs, dumping sewage in our rivers, no trying to keep the NHS from being overwhelmed, that's his breaking point. :rolleyes:

Just like all those play tough rebel wannabees, voting against any further Covid restrictions while knowing that Labour would support BlowJob, but nary a squeak about any of those other issues you mention.

Freedom...To take back-handers without any retribution...To pour **** into rivers...To drive the NHS into the ground so they can sell it off to their mates...To make spurious comparisons to both the Nazis and Stalin at the same time...To stick a "y" in your surname instead of "i" to make it look posher...

But wearing a mask, having a small needle in your arm, washing your hands and not having a Christmas party...Oh, noes, we cannot cope with that!

The problem IMV is with the FPTP system, which I used to think was good. However, the two-party/three-party system doesn't really work, because with an 80-seat majority, the Opposition is ineffective and with the weight of the mass media right-wing owned press against it and in charge of a powerful hegemony that can exhort us - like the comic DAILY EXPRESS - to 'HAVE FAITH IN BORIS'.

The system in Northern Europe, which I had hitherto akinned to weakness, is actually much more democratic and powerful. For example, in Finland, we have an SDP majority party in power, with a Green Foreign Minister and a Swedish-Speaking Party Justice Minister, a Centre Party Home Secretary and a Left Party Education Minister. The Opposition consists of the Conservatives (Kokomus) and the Basic Finns, Perusuomalaiset (= similar to UKIP but with a strong belief in the welfare state). IMV this works well.

It would be great if the UK electoral system gave people like Caroline Lucas of the Greens a chance. Well, the Lib-Dem/Conservative Alliance with Cameron and Clegg was a nightmare but it could work with a broad alliance of the best persons instead of this dull uninspiring two-party fiasco.
 
Hang on a mo!

If the men and women in grey suits do hand BlowJob the revolver and the glass of Scotch, triggering a leadership contest, who will be left holding the fort?

Lemme see now, who is the Officially Designated Deputy PM? **** me, it's Dominic "How clueless am I?" Raaaaaaaaaaaaaab.

I'm going to wake up and find that I'm not in Kansas anymore, aren't I?

Is that how it works? Doesn't the current leader stay until their replacement is elected? (Given how he somehow avoided any negative mention in Cummings' various revelations, Gove would appear to be in with a chance.)
 
Remember those two women that got arrested for sitting on a bench drinking their coffees?
 
Don’t forget that May 2020 (when the picture of the latest Johnson piss up was taken) was a few weeks AFTER cummings trip for his eye test.
They really do think the rules don’t apply to them.
 
Why would Boris call a Cobra meeting then not turn up? it's not like it wasn't at Downing Street?

Was he drunk or has he ****** off somewhere for the weekend?

Maybe they should have served wine and cheese.

And if things get tight there's always the three hundred & whatever quid a day for showing up at the Lords. Gotta have dinner somewhere, right? May as well be the subsidised restaurant at the place where they pay you for signing in.

Tye only thing he's resigned from is the job he was about to face responsibility for when his 'efforts' hit the fan.

Can the country afford enough wine to bribe Johnson to do his bloody job?

He is now free to really lay into the idiots who negotiated this terrible deal with the EU!
