Is Johnston regarded in the same way Trump is here in the US? At least in the "breaks whatever rules he wants" way?

In that way yes. I don't think he bares a lot of similarity with trump, aside from having awful blond hair and being conservative.

There's the fact that he's a liar and a racist.

I'm more concerned that they'll be better, tbh. Could keep the Tories in power for another decade.

Well, yes. Worse for 99% of the population is what I meant. People love voting for those who openly despise them here and constantly vote to make their lives worse.

Hes obviously a scumbag and deserves to be shamed, but I dont know if calling the lockdown brutal is accurate, it saved lives from a fatally dangerous virus.

I do believe the two aren't one and the same, but there's a hell of a strong correlation.

It's not about whether the lockdown was good or bad (it was good)

It's about how when people couldn't go to their own sons/brothers/fathers/wife's funerals for the unified safety of the nation, the people in charge were laughing and having drunk parties

It's about how the police were using drones to hunt down people walking their dogs in the countryside and fine/shame them. While the people in charge were laughing and having drunk parties.

The fact the lockdowns were justified makes Boris worse, not better

In related news:

• Conservative rebel MPs who are plotting against Boris Johnson are being blackmailed to stop or their constituency will have all funding frozen
• Boris Johnson offered the Queen and the Royals the chance to ditch Covid rules for Philip's funeral. The queen declined saying she wanted to "lead by example"
• Rumour is that at least 10 Tory rebels have talked to Kier Starmer recently about defections to his party.

One Tory already defected to Labour after being threatened.

We all know the bullshitting blonde buffoon is a lying, sleazy sack of shit who's only in the job to do favours for his cronies and for himself, and has no interest or aptitude whatsoever in the business of actually managing a modern state.

What I don't get is people voting for corruption, voting for incompetence, voting for double standards, and then complaining about getting what they voted for.

He could last an even shorter time than May did.

Depressingly believable:

He's a bit of a lad though, innit? Could have a proper pint with a proper bloke who knows what it's like to a proper brit.

Just ignore he's the elitest of the elite and is so far removed from the average Brit he may as well be a foreigner.

That and can you imagine what it'd be like under Labour? I bet they wouldn't have all these terrible issues the Tories made us suffer under fixed immediately.

Hey, don't get me started on Corbyn. He once pronounced Jeffrey Epstein's surname the German way rather than the Jewish way. Could you imagine saying such an antisemitic thing in the year of our lord 2022???

Boris could outright make a goblin joke to a jew and people would just pass it off as boisterous locker room talk. God I fucking hate these double standards.

"It happens too much for you to ever be able to investigate," is a really bold defense strategy...

is this dude wearing a wig?

People genuinely say that kinda shit about Boris in real life. Better to play it safe and assume it's not sarcasm tbh

you know that saying "boys will be boys"?

in this case, its Borises will be Borises.

either way, he's a dick...

He denies it's a wig, instead calling it "follicular enhancement". Either way, his hair is a work of art.

Think everyone but Spike understood that post.

He always says no. But yes.

Boris's hair is as real as Trump's...

If BoJo was there would it have been an Octopuss Garden Party?

If you couldn't tell from my second line then that is entirely on you tbh.

I could understand if was just the first line, as people legit believe that. But thought the next line made it obvious I was mocking them by pointing out he is a rich eton elite snob.

I mean I'm glad but the fact they were aware of them the whole time and didn't care until now demonstrates that nothing will come of it

This same met who said they couldn't and wouldn't investigate due to zero evidence, despite them having to let people in and Boris admitting it happened?

I definitely trust they will do this properly :)

If nothing else, it will be harder for Sue Gray's report to say (or at least to be spun as) nothing improper was found if half the attendees have been given FPNs.

Except Conservatives have already said they won't release the full report publicly and they do not have to act on it

so they can hide/spin as much as they like

Christ we all know about the parties and the Tory lies and we're still sitting here talking about the report

it is infuriating tho when everyone else has to abide by the rules yet these scumbags, who make these rules in the first place, can get away with breaking them...

Boris can seriously get fucked! smh
