What Does It Take To Have A Coup Here???

[-SharonA-]

We really need to get rid of this government!!!
We English people are too easily led.

//agent Cob was the alternative to Boris in 2019, it's a reasonable question to ask if those whining about Boris would have preferred the alternative at the time.//

[ichkeria]

I think Cameron was possibly a worse PM than Johnson.
May was badly advised but I’d trust her before her successor any day.

//May was badly advised//

Surely a competent PM should be able to distinguish between good & bad advice?

[naomi24]

I wouldn’t.

[youngmafbog]

The rot started to set in with Major but Boris has taken it to the ultimate destination of the Tories now 'New Labour' - with a bucket load of green nonsense added in.

All I ask for is a proper Tory party, with conservative values that is open and honest about what they do. (Boris fails on all counts)

Surely that is not too much to ask?

I Would think the worst PM ever elected in the history of the Tory Party has got to be Thatcher , She wins the prize for the worst PM in living memory. She did far more harm to the UK than Brexit, Covid ,or even Hitler could do.

[burlyshirley]

Totally agree with you Sharon. I voted for this idiot because I wanted Brexit done, but the way he has handled the pandemic has gone from bad to worse. Seem to be changing their minds yet again about vaccine passports for entry into venues, but this is probably yet another lie. It seems as if we will have to start wearing masks again, despite the buffoon telling us a couple of months ago that we now no longer have to wear them !! In their manifesto they PROMISED no tax rises under them, now not only are they being brought in, they are also tampering with the pension triple lock which they said was safe under them !! Biggest bunch of liars, EVER !! I will never vote tory again, big mistake. And I'm not interested in any die hard tory supporter coming on and shooting down my post - this lady is NOT for turning !!

[naomi24]

Worse than Hitler? I would say ‘don’t be ridiculous’, Gulliver, but I know you can’t help it.

mozz: 16:40, in 100 years Labour have been in power for 30 of them and 10 of those were Tory Lite. Whatever way you cut it, UK is a Tory nation that occasionally votes Labour.

[Jackdaw33]

When rating PMs, don't forget that if it hadn't been for Heath there would have been no need for Brexit.

Sharon you've been at the crunchy nut cornflakes again .

[naomi24]

I don’t know why it’s so difficult to understand that the last couple of years have been unprecedented. When Boris took office Covid and the devastating expense it brought was unforeseen - and everything has to be paid for. It’s not rocket science.

naomi: "I don’t know why it’s so difficult to understand that the last couple of years have been unprecedented. When Boris took office Covid and the devastating expense it brought was unforeseen - and everything has to be paid for. It’s not rocket science. " - sadly the detractors never take account of that when sla66ing off the government.

[naomi24]

TTT, I wonder how many of them lapped up freebies though - the furlough - and the cheap meals to get the restaurants up and running.

[ToraToraTora]

burleyshirly: " Seem to be changing their minds yet again about vaccine passports for entry into venues, but this is probably yet another lie. " - changing your mind or having an opinion is not a lie.

[Atheist]

Naomi, you're making cheap jibes at those who disagree with you. I think Johnson is awful, but I have nothing to do with furloughs or any of the other stuff you disagree with. I thought better of you.

[ToraToraTora]

burleyshirly: "In their manifesto they PROMISED no tax rises under them, now not only are they being brought in, they are also tampering with the pension triple lock which they said was safe under them !! Biggest bunch of liars, EVER !!" - I don't know if you've noticed by there has been a teenzy bit of a crisis. How is reacting to circumstances lying? Are you saying that no politician is allowed to change tack? ever? Have you never intended a course of action but been forced out of it by circumstances? What a sheltered life you must lead.

[burlyshirley]

To be honest gulliver, I think Boris the Buffoon comes close, very close.

[Khandro]

Going off Boris isn't the only U-turn I've had to make lately. I think he only wants to "wear the hat", he isn't proving to be a the leader he thinks he is, or sadly, I thought he might be.
