the Tories "you" all so despise only get in because "your lot" vote for them
That's fighting talk for 'my lot'.
I think he is hilarious and as all recent PMs have been quite useless why not have one who is at least a bit of fun

Good, maybe rally the troops next time then rather than whinging in front of your plasma screen scoffing pizza and carry outs 😉
I hear he's thinking about adding wing mirrors to the boris bikes
Heated of course?
He'd possibly achieve the feet of getting not one single vote outside the South East. You are aware the rest of the country are laughing at you? Aren't you?
Ahem 😀

kimbers it really is impossible to work out which one was the biggest onanist amongst that lot 😀
I think he is hilarious and as all recent PMs have been quite useless why have one who is at least a bit of fun
If that's the criteria, I reckon Sean Lock would be a better pm.
At least Boris outward appearance reflects on his inward capability, whereas the current PM outward appearance attempts to deflect from his inward capability.....
Every time I see that picture I drift off into a fantasy world involving automatic weapons
Every time I see it I think, "Isn't number 7 Dirk Gently?"

I enjoy the colour he brings to politics but I am not blind to what lies under the amiable buffoon exterior. I suspect he is rather more capable than Cameron and Osbourne having actually done a real job or two in the wide world.

How can you criticize someone for not understanding how other people live when you come out with a comment like that based on nothing more than a picture of teenagers being silly? I didn't grow up with a public school education, but it's not my place to regret / slag off anyone who did just because they they did.
(Retreats 5 paces...)
[i]nothing more than a picture of teenagers being silly[/i]
Says the man who hasn't read the website it's from...

Yeah... you're right. When the teenagers from our school were silly, the worst thing that happened was the odd car got nicked. This lot got to 'fulfill their destiny' and destroy the countries economy, privatise the NHS and the education system and generally shafting the ****ing lot of us on a biblical scale. Hey ho!
He's ace. Twice the person Livingstone was/is (now there's a nasty bastard for you).
Teenagers being silly? A bunch of posh yobs out of control buying their way out of trouble. Symbolic of a particularly nasty arrogance shared by them.
If they hadn't had been rich and behaved like that criminal records and possible jailtime for some would have been the outcome
Well he has had more affairs and had to apologise twice as often for being a racist..I can see why you would like him and his moral code 😕
Says the man who hasn't read the website it's from...
You're quite right - there was me assuming the original post had been made without context, since no source was given.
I don't particularly condone these people, but I don't understand why we have to have it in for posh people all the time just because they're different. Posh people doing bad things is clearly bad, but the fact they're posh has nothing to do with it.
Ah, that's why I don't like them. They've got funny accents!
The fact their are posh and used their money to buy their way out of trouble is clearly wrong.
the fact they are posh and this arrogance led them to believe their crimes were only hi jinks is wrong
Sorry - the two are inextricably linked. Its the poshness and wealth that breads the arrogance to behave as they did
Well he has had more affairs and had to apologise twice as often for being a racist..I can see why you would like him and his moral code
Are you accusing me of racism and of having affairs?
I suggest you STFU.
😆
I think it was sarcasm
I suggest you STFU.
in the words of another member of the Bullingdon club...calm down dear.
Posh people doing bad things is clearly bad, but the fact they're posh has nothing to do with it.
I think the claim is they are posh millionaires who were privately educated and this is the "high jinks" they did in their yoof with other privately educated millionaire yoofs. As they are rich, privileged and elitist they may not actually live in the same world as the rest of us and may not be in a position to best understand what the average person needs or wants.
Do you think the recession is really biting for them?
Struggling to pay the bills?
Likely to loose their homes?
etc
it is not the posh per se it is the distance from the norm/average/man on the clapham omnibus that causes the attitude ie they are literally out of touch with most of us and this makes it harder for them to givern...their concerns are unlikely to be the same as the norm.
EDIT: What they said and as I dont know you how could I accuse you of anything?
I don't particularly condone these people, but I don't understand why we have to have it in for posh people all the time just because they're different.
It's not posh people in general, it's specifically those in the photo.
And it's not because they're different, it's because they're c@*ts. 😉
I think it was sarcasm
Apologies if I took that the wrong way.
Not nice to things to be accused of.
it was not meant to personal to you so apologies if it reads that way
Funny that old 'Boris is a racist' thing isn't it - I recall one of the main transgressions was when he discussed 'Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing'
I also recall that the PNG high commissioner at the time said
[i]I am shocked and appalled by such comments from a seemingly well-educated person of very high standing cannibalism had ceased to be an everyday occurrence with the introduction of Christianity some two centuries ago[/i]
Yet, whats this? just the other week, shock horror
So, Boris was right after all 😆
Where's the apology eh? where's the apology?
Jesus wept, some people dig very very hard...
Why don't you write to them and ask for one Zulu?
im with Dr. Tony Travers, on this one
"There is no way to dress up expressions such as "piccaninnies'" and "watermelon smiles" to take them within a million miles of acceptable."
Yes zulu racism is really funny...why not regail DD and i with your [s]harrowing [/s]hilarious tale of the racism you experienced 🙄
Desperate and tragic as always
Of course racism is funny! in fact it can be 'king hilarious
You are confusing parody and racism
Funny you should say that Junky
as the comment made at the time about the context of the 'watermelon smiles' and 'picaninnies' comments were:
[i]Although these remarks were intended as a satirical dig at the patronising attitude of Blair and the Queen towards foreigners, the choice of language left Johnson exposed to allegations of racism[/i]
so, perhaps people like yourself who are unable to tell the difference between satire and racism shouldnt throw stones at people who cant identify parody, eh? 😉
YAWN
YAWN
+1
Thats really the best response you can come up with?
Target hit again 😈
Win!
YAWN.
What the jeff is a "picaninnie"?
Happy to bring some joy to your obviously happy and fulfilled life ...you bored me with your prevarication...RESULT.
To keep up the win perhaps you could shoot something ...say your load over Dan 😉
Isn't it a sandwich pickle?
say your load over Dan
Now, that is a WIN! 😆
Pickaninny (also picaninny or piccaninny) is a term in English which refers to children of black descent or a racial caricature thereof. It is a pidgin word form, which may be derived from the Portuguese pequenino[1] (an affectionate term derived from pequeno, "little"). In the Creole English of Surinam the word for a child is pikin ningre (li. "small negro"). The term pickaninny has also been used in the past to describe aboriginal Australians.[2] According to Robin Bernstein who describes the meaning in the context of the United States, the pickaninny is characterized by three qualities: "the figure is always juvenile, always of color, and always resistant if not immune to pain."[3]. Historically the use of Pickaninny may have been used as a term of affection, but it is now considered a derogatory term.[4]
well hes obviously not met any of the hardened cynics on here!
In that video Zulu posted back there before it all got silly, Boris sounds alarmingly like Charlie Brooker. Have we ever seen them in the same place?
