June 10, 20232 yr 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. I was about to say the same, Cameron and May will be given a much easier ride thanks to the disaster of Johnson and Truss.
June 10, 20232 yr Cameron has to take a lot of the blame for Johnson. His decision to gamble the future of the country in an attempt to save his career enabled Johnson's takeover.
June 10, 20232 yr Has anyone noticed that the brexshir and blojo trolls the internet over have all gone VERY quiet? :lol: Guess politics isn't like football after all! Who'da thought it!
June 14, 20232 yr Among the names on Johnson's resignation dishonours list is that of Charlotte Owen who gets a peerage. She is not yet 30, meaning that she could be a legislator for fifty years or more (unless Labour do actually abolish the House Of Lords). Her LinkedIn page says that she worked as a special adviser to Johnson from February 2021 to October '22. However, official records suggest that she worked at Downing Street for less than half that time. Even then, she worked for both Johnson and the then Chief Whip. That would not normally be anywhere near enough to merit a peerage. Probably best not to mention that she's blonde. People might jump to conclusions.
June 14, 20232 yr Despite all of the horsecrap we have about his honours list (and won't Liz Truss get her resignation list despite screwing up the country during the few hours she was at the helm) what is pleasing is that so called drip drip of resignations of Tory MPs supposedly happening over the weekend stopped after Nadine Dorries and that other one I can't even remember. I mean the runctions would have been fun but please no more of this ghastly thing.
June 15, 20232 yr 90 day suspension recommended!! That is absolutely mad. Will be interesting to see the news later today when the journos had have time to read the full report. I really can't see any way back for Johnson after this.
June 15, 20232 yr A fitting end to the most dangerous and damaging British passport holder of my lifetime. I cannot think of a single Brit who has inflicted more harm on our country than this man. Tens of Thousands of people died needlessly as a result of his incompetence through Covid. Brexit was a monumental act of national self-harm that has left us poorer and more isolated. He will get his name written in the history books as he so clearly desired, but not a word will be positive.
June 15, 20232 yr A fitting end to the most dangerous and damaging British passport holder of my lifetime. I cannot think of a single Brit who has inflicted more harm on our country than this man. There was no incompetence. It was a pandemic, something natural that Government couldn't control. Am sick to death of everyone blaming Boris. Starmer would have done no different. If everyone, and I mean everyone, had followed the rules rigidly then there'd have been less deaths. Edited June 15, 20232 yr by crazy chris
June 15, 20232 yr Well Johnston has finally been exposed as a calculating and very manipulative liar. I always knew he was full of baloney - the smirk on his face and body language said it all when he was asked on camera if he had lied to parliament. He has not only lied and misled the country about Covid but also many other issues including Brexit. His actions were highly reckless and disingenuous particularly to all the families who have lost loved ones from covid. I cannot see how he can return to politics in any shape or form as he has shown no remorse and his actions warrant nothing other than expulsion from his party. Edited June 15, 20232 yr by neill2407
June 15, 20232 yr It's wonderful that even in these tough times that justice has been served, especially to all those who couldn't see loved ones before they died and missed funerals. Even better that it was his ridiculous rant in his resignation statement that moved it up to 90 when it was initially just more than 10 :lol: I can't see a way back for him from this (outside of speaking jobs and book deals but what else is new x). His name will be forever tainted now much like Cameron was with Brexit and much as the Tories tried to bury it and getting people to move on, this issue was a huge one for the public that will stick. Not quite the new Churchill he was hoping for eh? ;-)
June 15, 20232 yr There was no incompetence. It was a pandemic, something natural that Fovrnment couldn't control. Am sick to death of everyone blaming Starmer would have done no different. If everyone, and I mean everyone, had followed the rules rifidle then there'd have been less deaths. And would you have defended Starmer in this situation? Or Corbyn? Stop living in a dream world.
June 15, 20232 yr There was no incompetence. It was a pandemic, something natural that Fovrnment couldn't control. Am sick to death of everyone blaming Starmer would have done no different. If everyone, and I mean everyone, had followed the rules rifidle then there'd have been less deaths. Starmer was calling for a lockdown in the autumn of 2020 weeks before Johnson finally got round to doing something. The result was over 1,000 people per day dying for several weeks in early 2021. So no, Starmer would not have done exactly the same as your lying hero.
June 15, 20232 yr There was no incompetence. It was a pandemic, something natural that Fovrnment couldn't control. Am sick to death of everyone blaming Starmer would have done no different. If everyone, and I mean everyone, had followed the rules rifidle then there'd have been less deaths. Stfu Just look at the rest of the world. Countless leaders did better. Countless countries had lower death rates that the uk The UK had a huge economic hit from covid and brexit double whammy. Literally anyone with a functional brain can see Boris was a f***ing disaster. Don’t kid yourself or us
June 15, 20232 yr The lying sack of Tory dung let people jaunt around on ski holidays in covid hot spots, and allowed masses of fans from covid hotspots over for a football game... Corbyn and Starmer would not have done that.
June 15, 20232 yr Tbf it's not even that which was the main issue as I genuinely think had he locked down earlier the first time or second time I don't think it would have changed the overall death count by a significant amount. Plenty of countries which locked down hard and successfully initially got absolutely destroyed by future waves... But banning funerals whilst partying every week? Inexcusable.
June 15, 20232 yr And would you have defended Starmer in this situation? Or Corbyn? Stop living in a dream world. Yes I would if they'd done exactly the same as our great PM did. And it's not me in the dream world... :rolleyes: Edited June 15, 20232 yr by crazy chris
June 15, 20232 yr Yes I would idfthey'd done exactly the same as our great PM did. And it's not me in the dream world... :rolleyes: It's a long time since we had a great PM.

He will get his name written in the history books as he so clearly desired, but not a word will be positive. David Cameron. He is what led to where we are now with Brexit and subsequently the inept/horrific government it created when the pandemic hit. He should not be able to get away with what he has done and be overshadowed by Boris' mess. Also his government is what implemented the beginning of austerity. They also made Royal mail private in that time (among other things). Edited June 15, 20232 yr by Envoirment
June 15, 20232 yr Yes Cameron and Osbourne claimed they were caring, co-opted a principle free narcissist (Clegg) and went on a project to make the poorest and vulnerable suffer most whilst ensuring their wealthy friends and backers earned even more. All whilst saying "We are in this together". Oh and pretending to be green one day and then saying "let's cut the green crap" from their manifesto in private.
