Anyway, I thought the prick had 7 kids. 4 with his ex wife, 2 with present wife (way to burnish those green credentials Johnson) and 1 with Petronella Wyatt, that journalist tart. DNA proven. Anyhow, I’ve spent too much time already thinking about his pathetic personal life
Four with the ex, one with the current, one with some art lady he had an affair with. Doubt he changed any nappies there, given he denied paternity.
Those are the proven ones. There's supposedly another one floating around somewhere, unacknowledged. I daresay there are more. He got Petronella pregnant a couple of times, supposedly, and she had one abortion and one miscarriage.
I always find it astounding how such a serial cheat and ****less procreator can win the trust of large chunks of the public. He even had the nerve to lambast single mothers back in the 90s. He's absolutely verminous.

Half the population are more credulous than average.
But, but lamb!
Last time I was in USA the big supermarket I went to didn't sell any!
Lamb really isn't popular in the US, their annual per capita consumption is 0.4kg compared with 4.7kg for the UK.
It's time for humanity to grow up
It's time for you, Mr. Johnson, to get a vasectomy. A rallying call to arms to fight climate change from you, sir, is sheer hypocrisy!

Sid James syndrome - it's what happens when you rear a significant part of the population on Carry On and tabloid headlines.

It seems as though the Tories think the the news is still delivered from abroad by steamship. So anything they say will be difficult to check.
What news from the Americas Priti? Well prime minister it appears president Kennedy has been shot. More news on the next fast steamer.
I'm unable to stomach actually watching that General assembly speech, but Ive read extracts and the level of hypocrisy is so off the charts it's gone far beyond the observable universe
Surely if he had speech writers they wouldn't have allowed the Kermit the frog 'gag' (it's not easy being green) but maybe they're writing with him in mind.
Perhaps he was riffing with his awesome sense of humour

I'll say one thing for Boris is that he makes a bloody good troll. This is Trump on another level.

so the climate change denialist and the leader of a party of deniers has run to the front of the green movement and shouted ribbet!
I can't think of a worse speaker to promote environmental concerns.
He's so synonymous with lies he actually does the cause damage.
A bit like when he says he's against racism. Wink, wink.
Just the place for a (not very) witty quip as well....on the International stage regarding the most pressing issue the world has ever seen.
Good timing dePfeffel.... 🙄
"Ladies and gentlemen of the general counsel may I present to you, and incredible as this may seem, I shit you not, the PRIME MINISTER of the United Kingdom."
It's plain embarrassing that this lying oaf is representing me on the world stage. The Carry On analogy above is not far off the mark. He and his cynical mates have identified a target audience of below average intelligence and are playing to it 100%. Meanwhile the rest of the world and half this country fluctuate between cringing laughter and head-in-hands despair.
Britain has produced many great things over the centuries - ideas, products, technologies. Now we have a washed up panto act for a prime minister. It is an age of shame for us.
That Kermit bullshit above is just a 'fingers crossed behind his back' for the climate change deniers and 'we just need to get back to making stuff' mob he needs to play to. Trite and flippant.
At least Kermit didn't **** another female pig on the family sofa whilst Miss Piggy had cancer.
I understand that people can pick parts of a video to make their point and that Twitter should not be believed, but I genuinely cannot think of a time that a world leader has looked less statesmanlike. Ok, apart from Trump.
I thought Teresa May was bad as a PM but, compared to Johnson, she looks like a legend.
Might be wishful thinking but he looks to me like he's beginning to fall apart.
Hasn't he always looked like that?
Might be wishful thinking but he looks to me like he’s beginning to fall apart.
"Awww bless him" they'll say.
"It is enough to bring anyone down, being a prime minister, he'll get his mojo back".
Cue a few crass remarks about rudely shaped vegetables or somesuch and the dickheads will be happy enough.
He really is a true leader.....of dickheads.
@BillMC - i thought that. Stating the bleeding obvious here, but he / them need to go before the damage is irreparable.
Covid has conveniently masked a lot of turmoil, inflation is starting to gather momentum, we have an economy built on sand especially where house prices are concerned....energy, food woes....you can see it all poised to come down and when it does we need a bloody strong leader who has plans, vision and drive not some bullshitting giant cauliflower with dementia leading us over the cliff...more so!
What @Binners said about Newsnight is harrowing really. It's not like anyone is not goint to find out either. It's frightening.
I have often previously thought
'Never has the B ark been more in need of a captain and his faithful.'
and then, the very next day, Bohnson is back in the news, and I think it again.
Yep, Lamp, I noticed that 'not a word was said about...'. The rest of the world has had a gutfull of him and are showing their contempt, sadly, supported by the press he continues to mesmerise some here. Nasty, brutish and short.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the general counsel may I present to you, and incredible as this may seem, I shit you not, the PRIME MINISTER of the United Kingdom.”
Proper LOL'd at that one.
Things are falling apart, the centre cannot hold. There has to be a reckoning when even his most ardent supporters have to weigh up 'what has HE actually delivered?'
inflation is starting to gather momentum
RPI jumped to 2.5% in July then 3.5% in August. Most economists were taken by surprise and most forecasts were hastily amended upwards. This 'government' will try to blame covid for everything, but it won't add up when price inflation and supply chain issues aren't as severe in France. The real-world effect of Brexit is just to make everything more expensive for the end customer in the UK.
Sure, there are die hard bellends who still rant on about remoaners and traitors, but everyone is going to see their family finances squeezed and there may be a very thin Christmas ahead. I'm just hoping that enough ordinary folk begin to see this for what it is before too much damage is done. We need a Lib-Lab alliance more than we ever have.
If we can get rid of Johnson and his rabble, I really want to see them being chased down Whitehall by a baying mob.
Also don't forget we've just had the mother of all fake property booms with the stamp duty holiday. Loads of people have just mortgaged themselves even more to the hilt. If the BoE raise interest rates, utilities prices go up and commodity prices stay high because of Brexit, we are heading for riotous times.
riotous times
When that public order bill will come in handy for Priti Nasty and her handler.
We need a Lib-Lab alliance more than we ever have.

Much as I like the image, only a fool would really want to see that. Tensions in the country are going to be very high as it is.
There's a photo of the oaf in the Oval Office with about 20 other people, all of whom except him are wearing masks.
He is genuinely as ignorant as he looks.
He's a pile of rags, a throttlebottom.
There has to be a reckoning when even his most ardent supporters have to weigh up ‘what has HE actually delivered?’
An 80 seat majority in the house of commons. Inexplicable though that is to anyone with an IQ that exceeds their shoe size.
He meant every word of that speach.
Actually the only important part was "lucrative" now there's the rub. The Kermit waffle was dead cat distractor, lucrative was the message.
lucrative was the message
There are consultancies all over the place 'advising' investors on wind farms and the rest. All at arm's length, naturally.
the natives are restless the Daily Fail are running with the headline "Winter of Incompetence!" and the ire is directed at Johnson.
Blimey, things must be really bad!! Have they actually given up blaming the EU?

The Wail have had him in their sights for a few months for different things. Presumably they have another Tory leader/prime minister in their pocket that they want to replace him with
Brazilian turkeys for Christmas, anyone?

Between bolsanaro and johnson, I would believe the brazilian.

I think they just like reminding him he is expendable if he doesnt dance to their wishes.
Still not much use having a boatload of turkeys stuck in the port (as no truckers),it’s just the same BS as the tunnel to NI(customs checks&paperwork) a solution for what isn’t the problem.
How much longer can the king go on in the ‘altogether’ 🙂
A smattering of visas to get you over Christmas but the rates are going to be stellar.
I think they just like reminding him he is expendable if he doesnt dance to their wishes.
I’m not totally sure he’s expendable.
He is the embodiment of Brexit, I think without a powerful figurehead(BS’er/Showman) they won’t be able to keep the pretence alive that Brexit has been done.
But if the plan is to actually quietly rollback to join the CU & SM then he is and will be used to absolve them of his sins.

My guess is they think he is going soft on immigration
Wait until you see what utter bastard the Fail will have as their preferred candidate.
Gove? What enough people don't realise about Gove is that this is the second incarnation of the rubber-faced one.
First was the zealot for victorian values, but he was rightly dismissed as a stroker. Now we are seeing the fully cynical profiteer version.
A stroker and a blowhard it seems. A very nasty piece of work.
nasty piece of work
Any Tories that aren’t?
Anyone seen him lately?
I think there was a tweet about Space Force Britain today, but beyond that?
Nope, he's gone to ground I think?
I think the great British public need to check their sheds/ fridges in case he's trapped somewhere.
he's done a two minute piece for the bbc looks like he's got 2 black eyes. Not sleeping well ?
the 1000 yard stare after the phone call from the dirty digger "get a grip or every thing i've got on you will be all over the front pages."
He's reappeared talking about 'slightly misleading accounts' leading to the fuel crisis.
In fairness the ****er can be considered an expert on misleading accounts...
I wish the useless sack of shit would just piss off.
“he’s done a two minute piece for the bbc looks like he’s got 2 black eyes. Not sleeping well ?“
He buried his mum last Monday and has a one year old baby. I’m sure we’d all deal with it a lot better.
Guarantee he's hitting the booze hard right now. Everything is on the verge of falling apart at the same time and he's got no choice but to deal with it somehow. While it will be great watching that happen I fear for the rest of us as it will bring us all down with him.
Yeah it's all utterly pathetic and plumbing new depths of piss poor governance. Govt is either outright denying problems exist or avoiding any media. The reason, that it's labour conference, is risible. No pmqs either
Fat turd needs to burn a few fifty pound notes in front of some beggars to cheer himself up
Well that's Xmas ruined then
I doubt its the first Christmas he's ruined.
He buried his mum last Monday and has a one year old baby. I’m sure we’d all deal with it a lot better.
I'm surprised that hasn't been weaponised yet. Have we finally found a limit? Or is something worse just around the corner?
Save Xmas?
It's like Groundhog Year.
I got my dates wrong I my earlier post.
His mum’s funeral was on Monday this week.
On Monday and Tuesday the media were reporting on his apparent absence from the public eye / “avoiding the media” - most of the journalists would have course have known full well where he was which speaks volumes.
I think the day after she died he announced the pact with Australia and the USA so presumably had been a bit busy with the details of that and handling the news of her death at the same time.
Like I said in my previous post - how many of us would have handled the death of a (by all accounts) loved parent any better?
By being competent and therefore able to take time off, rather than lurching from hubris induced crisis to crisis?
Possibly also by having competent colleagues who could take over for a short period if necessary?
Its supposed to be an industrialised nation with a diverse advanced economy and robust democracy, not a despotic banana Republic.
Its a shambles.
No sympathy for Boris - a good leader would have surrounded himself with competents on top of their brief; not just a bunch of nodding sycophants. The first role of any executive is to ensure that the organisation functions smoothly and is resilient to any shocks and identified risks. We’re seeing policy on the hoof - briefing the media about the US Trade deal prior to the Biden meeting just shows it’s just empty rhetoric as he trollies from one crisis to another and all efforts are simply to stop the whole country going off the rails. The only problems is I feel that we’ve got a lot further/worse to go before the ‘grown ups’ finally show up. Speaking of which, where is Hurtmore these days - or is he going to rise like Lazarus, like the fictional grown-ups he promised 😉

Yep, there is a deputy prime minister after all, and I'm sure he got the job based on his competence and proven track record and definitely not just because he was a really enthusiastic and shameless liar for brexit.
Pretty much any chance of me feeling sympathy for Johnson has gone.
As per above - a competent PM with a competent team could afford to take a few days off at any time. As he has built this entire shitshow on lies and his team on their willingness to propagate those lies, then the resilience just isn't there. And it isn't there by design.
He's a wretched excuse for a prime minister and a man.
I do hope he is wallowing in a pit of total misery and finally understanding that you can’t hide behind wealth or in a fridge for a everything that goes wrong.
In reality he’s probably going through the will seeing how much richer he is going to be.
I do hope he is wallowing in a pit of total misery
Much as he's a loathsome man and a danger to the country and everyone in it, I can't wish ill on him for the death of a parent.
For everything else, most definitely.
I don't actively wish him sorrow or harm. It is just that I cannot find it in myself to have any sympathy. He embodies so many loathsome qualities - sloth, cynicism, opportunism, vanity, bigotry, dismissiveness, conceit to name but a few.
I do hope he is wallowing in a pit of total misery and finally understanding that you can’t hide behind wealth or in a fridge
You know, every time I see that written down...It makes me pause and say ..."yeah, than man that's now PM hid in a fridge to avoid having to answer a question..." What a state
It is difficult to feel sympathy for someone who wallows in unearned privilege and has such little regard for ordinary people. Those whose support he courts he lies to and laughs at behind their backs, those he 'others' in a bid to win his supporters he applies labels to and whips up emotion against.
He is a lazy, arrogant, cynical piece of work and he needs a good hiding.
My missis showed me a clip of BoZo on one of the social medias this morning. He was being interviewed and there was little context before or after this lovely sentiment, but I'm not sure context would have made much difference.
... we don't need to worry about Cancer outcomes now, what's important is improving the economy
I may not have got the wording entirely accurate, but that was largely the thrust of his statement. Nice.
This thing about getting away from low pay low skill workforce is worrying. Does he want a society of middle managers which leads to that weird shoe shop world in hitch hikers. Where everyone is a chief pushing paper and attending conferences but no one pick the food crops or stacks the shelves.

I've seen this on social but not seen it reported on main news sources yet. If it's true, it needs rubbing in the face of every Tory voter in the country

I think this will be Bozza's undoing. He is trying to appeal to everyone, and especially his new voters but I can see short reactionary wage inflation spiralling out of control and then the tories trying to suppress that with tax rises. This will alienate both traditional tory voters and new tory voters. Once Bozza realises he has lost the popularity of the electorate, he will resign and leave others to pick up the pieces.
I can't see how the Tory donors, who no doubt built their wealth on the back of cheap labour and screwing over the workers, are going to be happy with this new grand plan that's suddenly appeared.
The inflation genie is going to be well and truely out of the bottle.
This thing about getting away from low pay low skill workforce is worrying.
So you think low pay and low skill is a good thing?
The inflation genie is going to be well and truely out of the bottle.
This isn't the first time I've read something like this on here. So is the STW IT manager consensus that we shouldn't do something about low pay because it might make stuff a bit more expensive?
So is the STW IT manager consensus that we shouldn’t do something about low pay because it might make stuff a bit more expensive?
Are you new to capitalism?
What is this plan for a higher wage, higher skilled economy?
I hope people aren't confusing Boris's rhetoric with there actually being a real plan behind it that will result in action.
What about the people not equipped for a high skill job, regardless of how much training they get. Anyway I wouldn't worry, nothing much is likely to change, Boris has no plan it's just his latest sound bite. If anything under his lack of leadership I expect there to be more low paid and probably low skilled jobs.
