Boris's Shield

[gulliver1]

Is Boris running out of people to shield him, to hide his own incompetence
He refused to sack Cummings for breaking the rules when he drove to Barnard Castle for an eye test. He refused to sack Hancock for rule breaking (ETC). He supports Robert Jenrick for helping a millionare Crony.
He supports Bully Prity Patel .
And supports utterly useless gavin Williamson. These are his get out clauses to blame when things go wrong. It's never Boris's fault.

Man or mouse, I'm afraid its mouse when it comes to Boris. When a serious situation has transpired with a high ranking minister, the normal procedure would be to sack that minister without further delay, followed up by addressing the nation and condeming the actions of that minister. Boris hasn't got the B**** to do this and never will have,. He does what he normally does, hides away, and lets others face the press, after a time he will allow the odd leak to filter out in the hope of him ever having to explain.

His lapdogs have been covering his backside since the day he was elected. Of course there is always the chance that even Boris knew of Hancock and his tart, so that would make it more difficult for him to conduct himself like an PM should. When you all have your fingers in the pie one way or another and someone gets caught out, the fridge is the only place to hide in the hope it will all go away, it never does, the real s*** in my view is yet to be exposed. Boris now needs to go, or at least hand over the battern.

I've never seen such devotion in a droid before.

[ToraToraTora]

suck it up lefties you've got Boris for at least another 7.5 years probably 5 more than that. So I suggest you have a look at Rodders and your shambles of a party.

[teacake44]

His own party could bring him down TTT its been done before, and it needs doing now, the bloke has got no bottle, and very little respect now.

[ToraToraTora]

dream on, Boris will see off at least another 2 labour leaders.

[gulliver1]

If his own MPs want to keep their jobs then Boris has to go ,and he will go before his term has finished .
Push or Jump , just get rid.

[ichkeria]

It might not be Labour leaders he needs to worry about.
As for his failure to sack people I think it’s simply that he dislikes confrontation.
And it’s highly rumoured that he’s afraid to sack Williamson anyway because he’s a vindictive little ***

[needawin]

See Tory, Tory, Tory hasn't wised up yet.
Boris in the paint factory today.
Getting more yellow paint for his spine!

[ToraToraTora]

well keep wetting your alans if it makes you feel better.

[gulliver1]

I wonder how much dirt Williamson , Patel and Jenrick, have stored up againsts Johnson to be not sacked ?.

[needawin]

Thatcher was unshakeable.
Voted out.
May was unshakable.
Voted out.
The "Demise of the Dummy" is getting nearer.

[ToraToraTora]

Yawn, come back Boris looks like he's in any trouble, in the mean time here is EC: https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html

I think there's little doubt that the Conservatives will win the next election - I doubt many would dispute that. I think the question being asked is whether Johnson will still be PM before and/or after it.

[maggiebee]

TTT, genuine question. Why do you call everyone who dislikes BJ a leftie? We are surely all entitled to our opinions - you make yours abundantly clear on a daily basis.

[ToraToraTora]

maggie, I'll answer that with a question of my own. Why would anyone think that any party would dump their leader mid first term with a 78 seat majority? Answer wishful thinking opposition supporter, tada!

[gulliver1]

When Hancock apologised to Boris .
Boris replied " I now consider the matter closed ".
Who the hell is he to be judge and jury .

[maggiebee]

Surely if they dumped their leader they would still have a 78 seat majority, just a different (better?) person at the helm?

[ToraToraTora]

gully: "Who the hell is he to be judge and jury ." - err his boss??

[ToraToraTora]

now maggie et al let me ask you a question: do you really think Agent Cob and the Abacus would have handled brexit and the crisis any better?

[gulliver1]

18.38 Boris is no leader, he needs dumping and the sooner the better.
