I would hardly call him a failure. Journalist, London Mayor, MP, Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister. Not a bad CV and bet it's better than anyone here could ever hope to attain. He got Brexit done and handled Covid well. In fact I heard one of his enemies say that he thinks history will be quite kind to him.

 

Aim higher.

:rofl: :rofl:

 

He is a f***ing DISGRACE and caused the break-up of the UK with his anti-democratic hard Brexshit!! Every job he EVER got was due to being part of the disco citizens and having friends in the right places. History will NOT be kind. We told you about him and we told you about Brexshit ;) We were right about both.

 

Thank goodness he’s going and I love the messy way it’s happened. He is a disgrace as is anyone who ever supported him.

also you wanna bet?

 

I am quite confident the majority of people here have done more and will do more to benefit the world than he has.

 

Not all of us are born into wealth, Etonian connections, nor do most of us wish to seek power for its own sake. Nor should that be the metric of how we judge societal success, or we do end up with the sort of poisonous culture that he propagates.

 

May his departure signal the end of personality politics in Britain for now - the government is a representation of 65 million people seeking out the best way to organise society within Britain's borders, not a reality show where some blond-haired arsehole can decide he'll ignore the rules because he really really wants to be the next Churchill. May his future be dogged by a refusal to see him accepted within public life while his planned book deals and conference speeches fall through so that he has to find some humility in retirement. And may his name be marred with ignominy on the few times that historians remember him as a disastrous footnote through some tumultuous British years.

 

 

Imagine someone like Chris literally idolising him because he's powerful and wealthy, when in truth Boris Johnson would spit on him if he saw him in the street. It's the most pathetic thing imaginable.

History will be much kinder to Cameron and May. Their awfulness will be dwarfed by what came next.

 

He has failed. And it’s glorious.

Glad he resigned as party leader, but I was hoping he would resign as PM as well right away. Then I just saw the wedding party story. :lol:

 

I assume a general election is less likely now. Although I wonder who is going to replace Boris as PM.

Short memory, Chris!

 

Eton. Rich. journalist who got sacked for being a lying little shit time and again. London mayor who took credit for previous Mayor's achievements (eg "Boris" bike) and helped his rich mates get tax free building "no section obligations for us mate". Foreign Secretary sacked for being useless and lazy. PM sacked for being dishonest, self-serving, BY HIS OWN PARTY OF RIGHT WINGers!!!!!!

 

There is no job he cant f*** up. That he managed to pull the wool over the eyes of so many people is the only talent he has. An ability to sell people what they want to hear and then ignore them. Con man.

 

The Brexit he got done was the worst, most-damaging, Brexit available short of leaving with no agreement at all, and wasn't what he promised at all. Funny how people forget what they don't want to remember.

 

"I don't mind being lied to and being worse off because I can't admit I was wrong about voting for him".

 

Managed Covid well in the sense that he immediately ignored it, went into a hospital shook hands with all the patients while not wearing a mask, spread it about and then became seriously ill from Covid and put his wife and unborn child at risk by being a nonce. At which point it was hard for him not do something about it as the world starting shutting down. The UK had one of the highest death tolls and still does, however you measure it. Let old people in care homes die, sent them back to spread Covid and kill others. That is not a success. Scientists inventing a vaccine is a success. Johnson deciding to use the vaccines other people came up with (and buying them) is something any old twat could decide to do. Even a twat like Johnson wouldnt turn down a gift like that. As no politician in power in the world did.

 

Just saying.

What did he actually achieve as London mayor or Foreign Secretary? What good has he done as PM? As for journalism (more of a columnist than an actual journalist), he published a pack of lies.

Pie has nailed it here and then some!

 

 

A must watch for Chris also.

^He always nails it and he certainly did here too *.*

 

James O'Brien did a wonderful take down as well

 

Hmmm, there will almost certainly be a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire. I haven't got time to do a full analysis - but Suella Braverman (whose a slightly more articulate Priti Patel) has launched a leadership campaign and she immediately wants to take UK out of ECHR, do a war on woke and wage war on trans people. Steve Baker is a very dangerous but very influential anti environmentalist.

 

I had a brief look at the Daily Mail (and it's because I'm staying with family and they buy it) and they "rate" each candidate. I noticed that they said that Penny Mordaunt's "bad point" was that she had controversial views on trans people - those were that she once said in Parliament "trans women are women".

 

It's going to being a very unedifying contest.

The biased rag Sun is doubling down, calling him the "greatest political figure since Thatcher", though "not ss good as we hoped"!!!! f*** OFF THE SUN!! You gave us that sack og shite over Corbyn, and just imagine how they would have reacted had all of this been under Corbyn! They most certainly wouldn't have been buying up stoeies about Corbyn to keep people quiet lile The Sun! Bip Bip Curry x

Oh dear I didnt know she was that extreme. Its a pity as I thought it might have been interesting for debates having two party leaders from high up legal backgrounds!

It is to the UK's disgrace that 5 of the main Daily papers have absolutely abhorrent views - Mail, Express, Sun, Telegraph and Times (although last one does have good stuff occasionally) They are also fiercely anti green and so will literally aid the destruction of the World.

The media have their own agenda and play a pivotal role in influencing the general public’s views in politics. Look at the situation with Jeremy Corbyn. He was never given a chance!

One solution would be to get elected and then change the law so that foreign-dwelling tax-dodging newspaper billionaires can't own British newspapers. Though, as we all know, anybody in the world can put any old bollocks on the internet and people lap it up.

 

It might not stop the press but it will at least make them personally aware of what living in the UK and paying tax means. Oh, and cut off all dodgy tax millionaires from being able to avoid tax in tax havens (The USA, for all of it's problems, is quite good at chasing that up). For example The Sunak's, living here, but being taxed elsewhere. Piss off and move if you dont want to pay tax, and stay out of politics on a system you are not contributing towards, I say.

 

Oh, and fine any serving politician who is blatantly caught lying.

 

Just a few suggestions.

Well he's completely gone as MP now let alone PM! What a disastrous road that this man put our country down and the utter waste of finance for a Brexit project he didn't believe in that could have been used for about a million better things. The sad thing is that our institutions and services will continue to crumble and our most vulnerable people will suffer and die as a result.

 

I personally doubt he'll do a comeback in a meaningful way. He's not got the strength of character (albeit in a horrific evil version) or popularity that Trump has. Plus his support for Ukraine means that he won't be considered a Trump ally. Just like most things about the little Britain he made happen, we are increasingly irrelevant on the world stage. He'll make money on the speakers' circuit for God known reasons but, in a way, that doesn't matter. To most people he'll become synonymous with failure and deceit.

His letter is so full of lies, it is hard to know where to begin. Even some of the basic "facts" are untrue.

What a great start to the weekend. *.* I'm guessing the Privileges Committee final report must be really damning then as he isn't even going to try and fight to survive. The resignation honours list that Sunak caved into accepting was a disgrace and that resignation letter - also a disgrace. To the very end he can't ever take responsibility and acts like a child.

 

Hopefully that's the last we ever have to see of him.

An absolute disgrace that weak wobbly Richie Rich acceptdd that vile honours list. Even more of a disgrace that he caved dsys before Blojo resigned anyway.
