It's not so much the making your own rules as the Grauniad finding a pic of him pulling a Mussolini face!

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
Are there any Tory MP’s with an ounce of conscience or integrity left who’re ready to sack this monster?
Surely they can see now he would sell out every one of them if it meant clinging on to power for a day longer.
And the rest of us should swear to never again get in a position where removing a corrupt, lying, incompetent, serial law-breaking PM who rips up whatever rules he wishes is in the hands of a few dozen career minded members of his own party.
Once shot of this monstrosity we need to rewrite the constitution to protect us from his like in the future.

Someone will be on here soon to tell the majority of Tory voters will vote for him again in the next election.Junco Partner wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 5:55 pm Are there any Tory MP’s with an ounce of conscience or integrity left who’re ready to sack this monster?

Phew...it's lucky our PM isn't likely to have broken or potentially break any ministerial codes isn't it?

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
Up to 20 letters now. For May they said about 50% were publicly announced so may not be far off the number needed. Imagine quite a few are waiting to see how the energy bribe polls.
Tories clearly scared of the next election if they are going to such lengths to cling on to Boris. It would be laughable if it was happening in some banana republic

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
Fathering an unknown number of kids by an unrevealed number of mothers, using a national health crisis to cream billions off the country's purse to bolster his cabal, repeatedly lying to parliament, sacking anyone who disagrees with him so that he's left with a gaggle of incompetent comedy yes-men, having debauched parties while the country is under curfew, changing the rules so he can't be punished for breaking them. Gold wallpaper. Hiding from the press in a fridge.
The script for "Banana Boris" would be too far fetched, his character too absurd. And yet if you disapprove it's because you're just a Tory basher.

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
The punishments part wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Look at the patel bullying thing, the pm has always been the one who decided. It should be automatic imo but it never was.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 2:49 pm These appear to be the actions of a man that has full confidence there are no other scandals coming down the pipeline at him.
Independent investigations would be good for the public but it's hardly unique to Johnson to not have that added.
The whole idea that a pm can rewrite the code on a whim makes it nothing more than window dressing for the public.

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
From a national security aspect he's gleaming, I mean he's hardly likely to be blackmailed into something nefarious when it's open knowledge that he's already done everything blackmailable..........Monkeybubbles wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 8:02 am Fathering an unknown number of kids by an unrevealed number of mothers, using a national health crisis to cream billions off the country's purse to bolster his cabal, repeatedly lying to parliament, sacking anyone who disagrees with him so that he's left with a gaggle of incompetent comedy yes-men, having debauched parties while the country is under curfew, changing the rules so he can't be punished for breaking them.

Doesn't need to be blackmailed when already in their pocket tho ..

You say that but aren't financial issues one of the biggest red flags that come up when looking into weak points that could be used for leverage on someone?

Looks like his rulebreaking goes back to his days as Mayor.

Rees-Mogg probably come up with that one. He'll be pushing for the return of shillings, farthings and guineas, smog and men to be able to "cleanse the streets of wenches" next...

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
It’s just ridiculous. The longer he stays in power the more ludicrous his party looks, the more ludicrous Tory voters look, and frankly the more ludicrous anyone defending him looks.
I have no issue with the Tory party and the older I get the more I understand why people vote for them, but Johnson isn’t a Tory, he’s a man who has no moral code and is in it for himself. No-one know why his politics are, his beliefs, his morals. By all means defend the party, defend their policies, but Johnson is in the Blair category of indefensible now. He has to go.

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
This imperial measurement thing isn't new though, is it? Wasn't it something they wanted to bring it before the lurgy hit? One of the few things I don't see an issue with tbf, and not sure why the ****-rags are making such a big thing of it.

You don’t think shops being able to choose which one they use will cause confusion for the consumer?
As always with Boris it is the timing and that money will be spent on what amounts to no more than gesture politics (unless you can tell me what we gain from this?)

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?
Gesture politics indeed. At present shopkeepers have to display prices in metric but can also at the same time display them in Imperial. So what is this about if not just more yay-for-the-old-days stuff, designed to stir, and stir up and galvanise the decreasing percentage of people who give a ****/ fall for non-measures like this.
Another sign of a government with no meaningful, helpful ideas, just rooting around for something, anything, to feed to its base support.
