Alex 35095 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 There’s a piece on the 6 o’click news at the minute about Redcar. The general gist is what a fucking mess the place is and how it’s one of the 10 most deprived communities in the UK. I can’t help thinking that electing a Tory MP maybe wasn’t the best move 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 That gym bloke delivering food parcels- hats off to him for helping out, but he can fuck off with his “ I need a moment” faux emotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine 11393 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Redcar is probably 96% British too, like the rest of the North East Still, Boris will see them right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Labour on level with the Tories in the polls. Both on 40%. This is clearly good news, but then I've also been told by my dad who knows a guy who is on conversational terms with Cumming's dad (I know) that the plan is for Johnson to step down in January after having delivered Brexit, for Cummings to go with him, and then you would expect the Tories to use that as an opportunity to draw a line under everything, once again. It'll be interesting to see where that takes us in the end but while this is positive news it'll need to keep up for quite a while..!

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If they think Fatty fucking off will “draw a line” under fucking over the entire country they’re even more removed from reality than I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really paying much attention to what he was saying at that point and just filled in things around the edges based on what I thought I heard. Maybe he said he read this in the Times indeed Either way, the message is the important thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Cummings seems more like the cling to power like a limpet type than the ride off into the sunset type. Johnson will do what he’s told to do by Cummings. Insofar as he’s able to anyway. I.e. it’s nee good telling him to deliver a coherent message via the medium of speech Edited August 30, 2020 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Retirement from politics will allow Johnson to spend more time with his kids… the ones that he acknowledges anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44935 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 As MF says, good luck drawing a line under anything while we're still in the grip of a global pandemic, and with the disaster of a Tory Brexit layered on top of it. It's not like they're going to source a leader from outside of the current cabinet, so whoever it is is implicated in whatever shit is happening to the country.

ewerk 30633 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Who in the current cabinet is even remotely qualified? Gove would be the only one I can think of. Outside the cabinet you have the likes of Hunt and The Saj who would still fancy their chances but competency is thin on the ground within the Tory party.

Gemmill 44935 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don't think any of them are qualified, but that doesn't mean we won't see Raab or Sunak as PM. They can all fuck off as far as I'm concerned. Anyway I think Johnson going is wishful thinking. If he's delivered Brexit, and the world is closing in on a vaccine, he's not about to chuck it on, unless the longcovid stuff is really chinning him.

PaddockLad 17284 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I think there will be panic buying from mid November, especially if there are more regional flare ups of Covid that require lock down . The haulage industry will grind to a halt before Christmas, meaning no fresh veg for Xmas dinner for millions. There will be other, as yet unknowable shortages too...if they include vital drugs & medicines I think Johnson will wish he jacked his hand round about now, before Parliament returns. Then the tories can have their patsy in place all ready for this winter, which appears to me at this distance likely to be unlike any other we’ve experienced....

Rayvin 5223 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It's hard to imagine, if he does go, what the point in all of this was for Johnson. Devastate the country just to be PM for a year and a half? No one is going to remember him fondly after this, he won't be considered a hero or a national treasure. What the fuck has the point been for him personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21636 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Johnson doesn't strategise, he blunders from one disaster to another on a daily basis. What was the point? Because he could.. Remember what a narcissistic cunt the man is. I hope his toxic legacy eats him every day of his life going forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Absolutely that. He’s just stumbled into it. And he’d have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for that pesky pandemic. He’s just a charming (not to me, but clearly to many) conman who came up against a joke of an opposition leader at the right time (for him). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour need to dine out on this shit just as the Tories did with the 2008 crash. Brown steered us through it better than most world leaders but a global crisis became “Labour’s crash”. The Tories are going to own hard Brexit and all the economic devastation that comes with it. The pandemic is global but Cummings and Johnson ballsed it up more than most. Voters need to be consistently reminded of these failures Edited August 31, 2020 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His legacy could be even more toxic than Cameron’s and so far he has managed to make May look a competent leader - who wouldn’t take her deal now? At least there was no border down the Irish Sea.

ewerk 30633 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don't think the border in the Irish Sea is of great concern to anyone other than the Irish. Johnson always wanted to be PM, he just doesn't want to do the job. He's happy that his name will be listed there throughout history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
