A spoilt, egotistical, lying, corrupt individual who cannot take criticism or defeat. That is not the kind of spirit you need to run the country or to accept the will of others. Thank goodness he has done this to finally prove to the world that he is nothing more than a big baby. Are you saying he also has a huge stash of classified government documents in his bathroom?

king canary 7,679 Posted June 10, 2023 It's amazing to see supposedly intelligent people fall into line with this idea Johnson has been 'undemocratically ousted.' He quit, he wasn't ousted and he quit because he's clearly worried he'd lose the democratic by-election, so hardly undemocratic. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly instead of running the country competently were about to get another round of Tory infighting. They desperately need a generation or two out of office to find or recall who and what values they stand for ..and it's not petty Brexity populists. That way lies extinction. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I wouldn’t disagree re Charles, I struggle slightly to see how anyone who strongly supported banning people from leaving their own homes for months at a time can be too worked up about someone with no real political power ‘telling people how to live’.

But what the King's excuse is I have absolutely no idea.............. I think the truth of the matter is that Sunak would love to deal with Johnson but he can't because he relies on Johnson supporters for his job. At the moment it is a political party split in half which is unable to govern effectively and has no aim other than surviving the day. This should be music to the ears of people who want an effective Government of any sort but there could be another 18 months of this nonsense and I wonder if the country can survive it. So that's Sunak’s excuse such as it is. The only excuse that the King has is that he's not very bright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MooreMarriot 313 Posted June 11, 2023 Isabelle Oakeshott claimed on the Laura Kuenssberg politics show this morning that a number of names were removed from Johnson's honours list without his knowledge and it was not till the full list was published that he found out about it. And that is what sent him into a rage and fuelled his determination to undermine Sunak in any way he can. All rather petty if true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What baffles me is that his flaws that rendered him an extremely likely liability as a leader of a country were SO OBVIOUS EVEN VAR COULDN'T BLOODY MISS THEM and still he ended up lying and shambling his way into the top position whilst basically coming up with a video selection of bloopers that would be best summed up on Po/rnhub as "thick blond fu-cks whole damn country at once!"

I think you may have stumbled upon a solution for our current political malaise. VAR for politics, would be great at PMQ's, Lindsay Hoyle stopping proceedings whilst the Fact Checkers at Stockley Park review the statement made by the PM, the only downside would be that the session would probably last about 3 hours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
