No Morals

[maggiebee]

Has this man no moral compass - what an insult to the Ukranians.

The man is a complete buffoon, what do you expect.

I don’t think I’m “radicalised” Gulliver.

I voted remain, and I never wanted Johnson as the PM.

The difference is, I am able to understand what he said - whereas you don’t have the ability to do so.

Excellent posts, JJ.

Hymie. He is a complete buffoon which was amusing on HIGNFY but is embarrassing now. Even more embarrassing is that he still has people supporting him.
His inability to construct a sentence that makes any sense in answer to a question without a piece of paper in front of him would be funny were it not so serious.

I googled "Johnson's inability to string a sentence together" in case I was alone in being annoyed by it. Made interesting reading.

If you understand, Deskdiary, then, looking at the Brexit vote result ...

Leave: 51.9%
Remain: 48.1%
Turnout: 72%

Can you explain how this is analogous to the Ukrainians fighting for their lives and their freedom? Please tell me the Ukrainians that are equivalent to "leave", "remain" and "did not vote".

Whinging remainers see more in this than there is...quelle surprise.

meanwhile.

“ we should be ashamed”. I’m not in the least bit ashamed jj. His thoughts are definitely not mine. Good post .

Tribalism leads to blindness. If you're on one side you will automatically deny anything, however reasonable, that the other gang says. You don't address their issues in a logical way, you simply deny, and often insult.
Anyone here recognise themself?

Roy, it wasn't Remainers who compared Brexit to Ukraine. Boris did. And not in an off the cuff comment, but a prepared speech. Read into that what you will. Boris clearly wanted something to be read into it or he wouldn't have said it. I know what I read into it ... he's a prat.

All in all I think Biden and Boris need to stand down from the podium. One seems to be on the edge of alzheimers, the other engages his mouth before his brain. Not a good mix for dealing with a nutter like Putin.

and those words that offend you so much are ?

[Deskdiary]

Ellipses - unfortunately I can’t understand it for you; if you can’t see it, it’s because of your own inability.

On Ukraine Biden has been exemplary. His touch has been delicate and perfect.

I can see it all too well, Deskdiary ...
