No 10 Parties

[Fulham Fallout]

Not this nonsense, again?

If only we had a bored for politics

That’s right biggest news story of the last two days shouldn’t be discussed on the main board. Keep that for top five vegetables. I go for the versatile potato or Jacob Rees Mogg

 It it’s not being discussed is it?  It’s villa or wolves again.

Then don’t post on the thread ffs

IMO the biggest story is the arrest over the 2012 murders in the alps, not yet another party held by the throes during lockdown.

Start a thread on that and see how it goes.

Political erectness is the norm for some at any chance.

Seems to me that Boris has behaved with impunity since he took office. In fact it's almost as if he's been taking the piss the entire time.

From 'getting Brexit done' (outright lie - we are still very much in the thick of it, at least those of us who import/export for a living), to getting his pad done (lied about funding, who forgets that sort of money), to the Cummings castle visit, Hancock, various parties and events, fast-track/VIP-list PPE etc. contracts, shielding the loathsome Patel after allegations of bullying, Jennifer Arcuri, failure to lockdown earlier (and in particular the fiasco over making London a Tier 2 last Christmas)... it is an incredible tally of black marks to rack up in such a short space of time. I have doubts even his COVID episode and subsequent hospitalisation wasn't all a fabrication - it seemed too convenient at a time he was beginning to come under scrutiny.

I can't fathom how someone of his obvious intelligence can be quite so ignorant to the potential consequences. In fact I'm certain that he was well aware. He just continued unabated anyway, because he could. His boots are full enough by now, so what does it matter. And this is what makes it so abhorrent.

Whatever the outcome - and I cannot see how he can survive this time - there needs to be major reform to ensure that no-one can abuse this position to such extent ever again.

By continually bickering like children, he did this, you did that  The majority of MPs need dumping. The Tories have thrown away the biggest majority for decades and Labour are not a viable alternative IMO.
Goodness knows who we should vote for.
It's a who do you trust poser

Explain why Labour aren’t an viable option?

How can you still think this? What else do they have to do?

Eh? Simply saying I wouldn't trust any of them.

Come off it CIM, you have defended this awful government since they got into power, it’s only now you’re trying to distance yourself from the indefensible  but only in so much as you do the classic, but but but they’re all as bad as each other line of defence. Tell us why Starmer would be worse?

As a Labour supporter, I have somewhat mixed feelings about whether this incompentent, mendacious buffoon stays in the job, since for Labour, he is the gift that keeps on giving. Almost every day, facts about his unscrupulous behaviour drag his party deeper and deeper into the mire and make a future Labour government a possibility, which seemed very unlikely only a year or so ago.
However, for the sake of the country, we need someone far more competent than him to guide us through this difficult year. Whether the Tories can put forward the type of leader we need is questionable, but not being an amoral, duplicitous circus act would be a start.

Yep.  As a man I despise him.  At best a narcissist and pathalogical liar and at worst a sociopath.  Three marriages, numerous affairs and an unconfirmed number of children (quite a lot of lying).  Sacked from at least two jobs for inappropriate behaviour (lying)  Was happy to go either way on Brexit (wrote two papers, one for each), then realised the Big B was his ticket to the big time (so got stuck into some more serious lying).  

A Etonian with a god (well PM) complex and absolute belief in his own genius and entitlement despite all the evidence.  He is a living, walking and bumbling Billy Bunter and i still can't believe working and middle class folk of all political persuasions fell for his bullshit, but such was the power of Getting It Done.

However, as a politician I think he's fucking marvellous and long may he keep wriggling and grovelling to stay in power.  He is a becoming a political wrecking ball and visual representation of everything that is worst about the Tory party. The very thing that got him into power (pathological lying) is finally beginning to strangle the life out of him. Hoisted by ones own petard, as he might utter if he stopped babbling out half arsed Latin for a moment.

As for Labour.   Well Starmer and the party have literally had to do fuck all.  No real policies, no idea of what modern socialism looks like.   Just stay quiet (apart from when they have to support the PM to get his own bills through) and wait for it all to unravel.  Just wait.

Starmer really now has to just not be Boris! The labour shadow cabinet just has to not be one of HIS cabinet (Patel ordering others to support Boris after previously threatening people with arrest for the same offence is delicious).   Wow. 

Just six months ago I just accepted very very grudgingly that we had probably got another 5 years of this buffoon and his cronies........we may still have but at least he's made it interesting again.  Thanks Boris.

Can't a bloke have any fun these days?

Because they “ruined the economy”. Despite the tories plunging us into economic disaster (Brexit)

Because they “don’t value businesses because they’re communists”. Despite the prime minister saying “fuck business”

There are hundreds of examples of the above, unfortunately the British population believe the shite in the Daily Mail, or whatever shitheap Murdoch news outlet gives to them.

This is the heart of the problem.

An example is my wife’s sister and brother in law. They live hand to mouth, in a council house and rely on benefits, not a month goes by where they can’t afford to feed their kids. But they voted for boris like turkeys voting for xmas.
