Could this save the Tories ? It's being talked about, but they need to find him a seat first.
I know the Tories are desperate but he WAS the PM we voted for and he should have stayed PM until the people removed him.
Apart from Tommy Robinson being arrested again on 'unknown charges' it's very quiet today :grin: :grin: :grin:

Tommy Robinson is the UK's equivalent of the Russian dissidents who get arrested on trumped-up charges.
Boris Johnson was, & still is, the Tory Party's membership favourite.
It doesn't matter that he was daft enough to be set up by Remainer Civil Servants who told him the so-called parties in Number 10 were legal or that a supporter gave him a few quid for wallpaper or whatever it was for.
Just look at Donald Trump, the US establishment has tried every corrupt judicial trick in the book & he's still wiped the board as the Republican nominee because the ordinary Joe in the US likes him.
If Boris had been brought back as PM the Tories would have won another landslide as all the Red Wall seats would have voted for him again.
When Sunak was shoehorned into Number 10 my resignation swipe at the Tory CCHQ was that Sunak would see the total decimation of the Party.
Boris is far too much of a liberal for me and rushed through a very flawed Brexit deal. He supports mass immigration and net zero lunacy or at least presided over both with no indication that he favoured any change of direction. He was stitched up over the parties but imo was still not much of a Conservative.
I really don't think the Tories can do anything to save themselves and quite frankly don't deserve to be saved anyway.

Which is why I'm not voting for them for the first time ever in a General Election.
Johnson believed his own hype.. He got swallowed up in it all.. thought he was an untouchable.. Such a shame.. Still very popular though..
Boris is to be "deployed" on the campaign trail in the north west of England - or so I've read :grin: They'd be better off 'deploying' Larry the cat up here :grin: :grin:

Boris is a dead duck. An axiomatically established, lying, biggety self satisfied and pompous ass.
This lot really don't quite understand yet that his appeal is now forever tarnished. Reviving him is little more than putting an electric blanket over a cadaver, in the hope it will sing an aria.
I used to like Boris, but went off him somewhat when truths came out.
He pretended to want and work for Brexit. Worse, he lied about his parties.
He's almost as bad as Coward Cameron and Treason May.

Yes...😁😁
God no .
I agreed with him today on arms for Israel but he led the U.K. down the road to ruin .
Him and that scoundrel Cameron.
Johnson will go down in history as the fool who destroyed his own image...
They will be severely punished at the ballot box when the time comes. I am convinced of that.
And all they had to do was follow conservative, i.e. sensible and even popular policies. But no, they went off into their make believe world and here we are.

Bearing in mind what has happened over the past 14 years, I wonder how long ago it was when the Liberals invaded the Conservative party.
I'm not sure about the beginning, when Cameron was PM. Although he was a hopeless failure, and a coward who ran away when we didn't support his wish to remain in the EU, but I don't know that he himself was a Liberal.
Then May came along. She, of course, did a great deal of damage. Among other things, she sacked half of the police and, I believe, caused us many problems which are coming to fruition today by changing several things and not for the better.
Boris, of course, was a buffoon and I suspect that many people of influence with whom he dealt took advantage of him. Yes, of course, he lied about his parties and who knows what else!
Poor old Truss didn't last two minutes, so I cannot possibly condemn her!
Now Sunak has been 'in charge' for nearly two years. I can't think of any important changes which he has made and, in fact, I think that Mr Wishy-Washy doesn't have a clue what to do anyway, though he promises a lot!
I see that the Miriam Webster online dictionary states that
QuoteThe meaning of AYATOLLAH is a .... leader among Shiite Muslims
With that in mind, perhaps we ought to rename the position of PM as Ayatollah since their job seems to lead shite politicians.😬

It certainly should be 'Ayatollah Khan', if it isn't the title already used by his fellow muslims in Londonistan.
I have been thinking about Boris.. What a bloody twerp..
He could have done so much.. The voters liked him.. He had a certain amount of charisma.. It all went downhill when he started acting the idiot.. he seemed to think that his job was to act the fool..
What a waste of talent.. So sad..
Wasn't it him who brought in the water cannons when he was London Mayor !!
They should have been put into operation..

Yes, Boris brought them in. Guess who removed them?
If there is any doubt, I can say that it was Mayor Khan who, in 1988, sold the ones we still had in order to "invest in projects to tackle the root causes of serious violent crime".
I think we all know what happened since then, and under the tenure of Mr Khan.
Unfortunately, we seem to have leaders ('rulers') who feel there is no need for them, especially when the same people are happy to encourage mass protests in our capital and have, I assume, instructed our police to do nothing to control them and protect the innocent. Our government is wishy-washy; the next one will be worse; and it seems that the majority of Londoners want to retain Khan as their elected 'caliph'.
Khan may have removed the water cannon but it was Theresa May who banned their use, daft woman !
Can't we just get a fire engine and add some skunk to the water ?
Quote from: Alex on May 06, 2024, 02:04:36 PMKhan may have removed the water cannon but it was Theresa May who banned their use, daft woman !
True. Only one of many things which she has done during her term in office which has damaged this country.
Another was to sack half of the police, including many of our most experienced, for some reason best known only to herself, and we can all see now the consequences of that action.
It has contributed to the problems we see in Londonistan today, where the Metropolitan Police under Khan have chosen to be completely ineffective, and possibly encouraging of the naive protestors under the control of their leaders-in-secret.

Boris a two faced lying cheat and Lib Dem double agent. Married to a Green slimester.
I'd find him a seat, or rather a chair - an Electric one. Could anyone ever trust this double breasted Con-man again. I think a lot of ex Tories hate him with a vengeance!
The only possibility of not getting a Labour government is if they somehow end up with Corbyn back as leader. Other than that it's a done deal. My fervent hope is that it isn't just a thrashing but complete annihilation. The One Nation faction are already suggesting any shift to the right will lead to an electoral wipeout and urging more net zero, open borders, etc. etc. that is the chief cause of them being where they are now. Only from a complete razing to the grass roots is there any chance of what comes from the ashes is even remotely Conservative.
Does anyone else think Starmer will be removed once he's PM ?

I hope not, I don't want to be robbed of watching all the ridiculous hopes of the 'new better UK' Labour supporters crumble as his sheer incompetence surfaces into the spotlight if he becomes PM.
I always thought he would be but I'm not sure how the rules stand now. He always looks like he's about to burst into tears to me. Probably that will be us though when he's PM.
As for Boris, I can't imagine that he'll manage to come back as a future PM.
As has been said, he has lied and it has recently been discussed on the telly how he held not one, but several parties at No.10 during the 'Covid years'.
It's a shame, because when he first stood for PM I thought he would make a good leader, and entertaining in a way.
Unfortunately, the Conservatives have failed to be Conservative ever since Cameron, and probably since they stabbed Maggie (my heroine) in the back.

Interesting. There is talk in the news about the probability of there being a hung Parliament this year.
I dearly hope that there will be at least some Reform MPs present anyway.

' Kier Starmer will not last long as head of the Labour party'

Gee thanks Scrumpos :grin: I can't tell the future but I do think he'll only last a year.
