Guys – we have got the troll to go to the covid thread.. Lets ignore him on here
No what you mean is you piled onto someone doesn't agree with you and bullied them
roger, with absolutely no respect you are either:
– a troll
or
– cluelessAs for ‘the Twitter files’, what drivel is this?
I'd have thought someone as clued up as you would have known this, surely?
Anyway here they are:
Interesting that the Telegraph are running with the implied kangaroo court line – he’ll probably not accept the findings, in true Trump style.
It won't matter if he accepts it or not, his party have engaged in the process so implicitly accept the outcome in advance of publication. They have multiple members on the committee and could have withdrawn them at any point if they felt it wasn't fair (or more likely in their political interest). The Kangaroo court line is being peddaled by the haunted pencil and the walking auto-erotic asphyxiator* not the leaders of the party
*Thanks @Binners for pointing out the tie too tight thing, i can't unsee it now!
The other important point is that they were clearly not at all scared about catching Covid, such that they didn’t think it important to follow the rules themselves.
For me the important point is that they didn't GAS about giving Covid to someone it could harm; the old, infirm, weak, fat and/or ethnics - because fundamentally they're selfish bastards goaded on by a first rate selfish bastard.
No what you mean is you piled onto someone doesn’t agree with you and bullied them
Whether he agrees with me or not is irrelevant
when he is making demonstrably false statements and relying on discredited conspiracy theorists its rather differnt
if yo want to go against decades of well known and well proven science you need something robust to back it up. When you cannot do so then you are in a very poor position. Nothing he has claimed is backed by anything real.
“we were doing important stuff”
There is very little evidence of what this 'important stuff' actually was.
He turned up at more parties than COBRA meetings.
And let us spare a moment of remembrance,for poor old Allegra Stratton,giggling at us all while we played by the rules.
Such a lark.
No what you mean is you piled onto someone doesn’t agree with you and bullied them
Yeah? Nah.
He's just signed up to pedal shite conspiracy stuff.
Roger. You are trolling this thread. I will ban you if you post here again. Take it to the CV thread and keep it there.
HAHAHAHA! Farewell.
The circle is complete.
Jeepers!
I actually think Mark was being more than fair with that allowing Roger to post on the covid thread
Well that escalated - I guess Roger will get to complain about being cancelled
Anyway..
I watched most of it yesterday and it was pretty obvious that Johnson genuinely believes he is above the guidance / law in place at the time. However, I have a sneaky feeling that he will escape with minimal censure as he has done throughout his life. I hope I'm wrong.
Regrettably, I agree.
He'll her a nominal telling off but no 10 day suspension and all that, that entails.
He'll then trumpet it as a victory.
I do wonder if, years from now, he will come a real cropper due to feeling totally immune to the constraints we all live by. I can completely imagine him doing something full on criminal at some point, something he won't walk away from.
He's already done full on criminal stuff and got away with it. If you mean like armed robbery, he's not got the balls for it and is too lazy. Other crime is just too difficult for him and requires thought and planning.

I'll be honest, I'm thinking non consensual sex, physical abuse type stuff.
Well, his dad has form for that and he's already had a visit for something similar with Carrie, so I guess we might see that at some point.
It would appear that the tories in general are concerned about the odds of losing a bye election and thus won't want to risk that - but also perhaps its worth it just to be rid of him.
I am fairly sure he will be censured and suspended but it might be that they settle on a less than 10 day suspension. IIRC any censure needs to be ratified by the full HOC. Sunak has said a free vote. would enough tories support him to stop a censure motion? I doubt it especially as the rebellion yesterday showed how little support the ERG fringe have now
I mean, I'm not hoping he does do that to some poor devil but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm honest.

Have to agree, the longer this turd remains unflushed, the worse for Sunak
but also perhaps its worth it just to be rid of him.
That's not really their call, Johnson could cause a lot of problems for the Tories from outside the party, if he can be bothered.
Inside the tent pissing out or outside the tent pissing in?

No-one will ever be rid of him.
Outside the Tory Party, he'll just become an Independent, he'll no doubt get a gig on GB News, a column in some paper or other and he can sit there on the sidelines sniping away.
Inside the Tory Party - not much different really. He'll rarely bother with the niceties of turning up to HoC unless there's something in it for him.
Either way he'll continue to generate column inches, pages more comments on here, TV appearances.
Absolutely nothing, short of a full on Epstein-style incident, will make him go away.

One of his friends and supporters was on R4 a couple of days back, claiming that this committee had to tread carefully as they had Johnson's 'livelihood in their hands'
It's already well documented that his additional grifting (sorry, employment) and his needs for loans and gifts to pay for his various house renovations, etc. is because being an MP doesn't pay his bills. The thought that Johnson treats being an MP as his livelihood is almost as believable as the thought that he believes the gatherings with cakes, music, wine and dancing were work meetings.

I can see him as a sort of Tory (Blair era) Corbyn. A Tory officially, bit one who will instinctively vote against his own party at every available opportunity

I did giggle at that. The idea that losing his backbanch MP's salary would somehow leave him destitute
I think that the amount of Tory MP's who actually put their money where their mouths are and voted against Rishi's deal yesterday is probably a good guide to how many genuine allies Johnson now has in the Commons... 21
Given that it was apparently him who 'won' them an 80 seat majority 3 years ago, thats quite some descent. Anyone possessed with a shred of self-awareness would probably look at that figure and take some time to reflect on their position. Not Boris though, nor the other former PM in those diminished ranks, Mad Lizzie. 2 equally delusional egomaniacs who simply refuse to accept that it was their own arrogant behavior that brought them down. Instead they look for scapegoats and enemies to pin their downfall on instead and fuel their own imagined grievences
Its quite tragic really
Exactly!
And the idiots on the Tory benches who now shun them both like lepers were more than happy to inflict both of them on the country when it suited them to do so, despite them being more than aware of both being glaringly unfit for the job
One question? Isn't this the same rule he asked us to follow?
Yesterday when asked about who said gave the advice that it was fine, he failed to answer the question?
Personally my highlight was the comments on the Guardian headline for an interpreter that understood bull5h1t...
Yet we still pay for this tossers legal fees, when the same party has cut legal aid to the rest of us all. Scummy git!

Yesterday summed up perfectly on QT
https://twitter.com/implausibleblog/status/1639042014196166657?s=46&t=1lK7Dw1b6RqGJyvufO-trQ
When they asked which members of the audience believed Boris was telling the truth, not a single hand went up
So much for Rees Mogg saying ‘Boris is winning in the court of public opinion’

Not at all if the next question is "do you care if he's telling the truth and 51% of them say no
I don’t know what there is to say about Jim Davidson riding into the GeeBeebies studio to defend Boris Johnson…

😳
Jim Davidson? Didn't realise he was still a thing. Thought he might have been put in the museum of fossilised bigots.

I gave up at his moronic 181c vs 180c argument against climate change.
I think it is one of those cases where a moron thinks "ha they were defeated by my amazing logic" vs the reality of the person thinking "how are they not dead since this argument is so moronic I cant understand how they can walk and breath at the same time" resulting in them failing to respond.
If the best they've got is Jim **** Davidson things are looking very bad for Johnson
If that magic 10 day suspension were to hit I can easily see him losing a by-election
Sooner he gets the heart attack/aneurism that’s coming his way the better for society
Borris johnson.. Performing at a local working man's club/snooker club near you soon!
Haha
Sadly the arsehole will be making lots of money from lots of marks/prepaid accounts for years to come and so wont need to fuss about working mens clubs.
Well unless Carrie takes him to the cleaners as well.
Dont worry about Johnson, its just the fear talking.
I imagine being a "disgraced" former pm will reduce the earning potential a bit. That may be his main concern.
The problem with the "ex PM" gig is that it used to be a sure thing. These days, there's too many to choose from, too much competition. Surely the "free market" mentality will drive down the price.
Given he’s just bought (or had bought for him) a house at 4 million +, is there really any chance money is a concern? As above, plenty of companies and people happy to pay big sums to hear recycled dross delivered in person by a has been…

Just when your opinion of him couldn't get any lower...
