Boris Johnson

[Hymie]

Over the last few days there has been a plethora of posts on AB critical of Boris Johnson.

It would appear that most ABers have woken up to the fact that Boris is a totally inappropriate person to hold the office of Prime Minister. Even TTT is unwilling to express his undying adoration for this fool.

Before this furore, I pointed out that Boris is not a suitable person to be put in charge of the stationery cupboard. All his history was there to be seen, from being sacked from his job twice for lying (three times, if you count Michael Howard sacking him), giving his lover a £126k contract from his employer – believing there was no requirement to disclose this relationship (even denying the relationship) believing he had done nothing wrong – claiming he knew nothing of who paid for the refurbishment of 10 Downing St., etc, etc.

Just how long can this clown hang on?

Plethora is correct - an unnecessary surfeit of critical posts.

More sleaze:

Boris Johnson claimed he did not know who was behind the donation to help cover refurbishments to his Downing Street flat. (Getty)
Boris Johnson is facing yet more political pressure, this time over whether he misled an investigation into a donation for Downing Street flat refurbishments, after contacted a Tory donor to 'ask for more money'.

The Electoral Commission fined the Conservative Party £17,800 over the donation by Tory peer Lord Brownlow to help cover the costly renovations to No 11 Downing Street.

Johnson's wife, Carrie Johnson, is believed to have chosen £850-a-roll gold wallpaper by top designer Lulu Lytle, who co-founded exclusive decorating company Soane Britain, for the refurb.

Brownlow, who has an estimated £271m fortune, has donated nearly £3m to the Conservatives and served as vice-chairman of the party between July 2017 and July 2020.

All started by the same person. I wouldn't read too much into that Hymie.

Grumpy @ 18.00..... But he can lie through his teeth....

hymie: "Even TTT is unwilling to express his undying adoration for this fool. " - when have I ever done that?

[grumpy01]

That’s true Gully.

Feeding frenzy from the lefties but still none of them will back their beloved Labour to win the next election. What's the collective noun for paper tigers?

[Mozz71]

Tora- //Feeding frenzy from the lefties but still none of them will back their beloved Labour to win the next election.//

Wanting something to happen, and believing that thing will happen are two different things Tora. Gully aside, most of us "lefties" know the difference between hope and expectation.

I've never been a big fan of Boris and this No.10 party business hasn't done him any favours but I'm not foaming at the mouth over it.

I’m not sure you lefties know the difference between lies and lies though.

[Mozz71]

I think all sides recognise the lies when our political "opponents" make them, but are less likely to accept them from those we support. Human nature to have bias.

[ToraToraTora]

mozz: "most of us "lefties" know the difference between hope and expectation. " - you can't possibly be a labour supporter mozz, seriously?

[naomi24]

Some lies are ok - others not. Shades of Animal Farm.
