Seriously, Herman, I don't know why you don't support him as he's producing the policies that you Liberals support. The biggest spending PM of all time with an authoritarian, Green wife dictating government policy in the background, especially in the area of this climate change nonsense while clamping down on social freedoms of the population is just the sort of things your Liberal mates want to do. Johnson is one of yours, mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent you a private message in order to reach out to you to in a friendly way cease this childish playground nonsense of claiming that I am Billy. Here's that message: horsefly 1,801 Started conversation: August 16 I am genuinely curious to know why you continue this rather childish game of calling me Billy. Many of your posts seem perfectly reasonable and considered, yet you find a curious need to descend to this strange form of insult on regular occasions. You are clearly intelligent enough to know that I am not Billy, so why persist in this nonsense? Feel free to do so if you find it satisfies some psychological need but I would appreciate to have my curiosity satisfied in your case because you're obviously not in the Swindon league when it comes to throwing around those sort of accusations. This was your reply: Van wink 2,301 Replied: August 16 You walk like a duck and you quack my man The fact you responded to my friendly effort to reach out to you with yet another childish insult says everything about what a thoroughly horrid, tiny-minded, little hypocrite you are. Perhaps I should resist responding to your childishness with barbed retorts but sometimes one's pride demands that insults shouldn't pass without a retort. You could stop this nonsense right here and now by simply posting comments on the forum that are about the subject being discussed, but your past record suggests you will simply carry on with your childish playground antics. If you do so, I suggest you do not whine if you receive insults in return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 23, 2021 Had to laugh at Useless Eustice. When asked what he thought might happen to people after the £20 reduction in UC, he replied that his Government had done so much to raise wages and take peole out of the need for benefits and their great success in raising the minimum wage. Hang on lying toe rag. The Tories voted against the Act in 1998. They said it would cause wholesale redundancies and lead to the closure of companies. Now they brag about record employment levels. I would rather have a thief than a liar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Fever 3,772 Posted September 23, 2021 It seems it's all unravelling rather quickly for Johnson and his merry band of back to the '70s Brexiteers now. Spiralling inflation, food shortages, inflation, being told your place in the world by the yanks- an yes even blackouts perhaps. Government having to take emergency action to keep the lights on and food on the shelves. Just the way they liked it through their rose tinted glasses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
