:emoticon-0102-bigsm Very true
 
The 2020s is fast becoming a nightmare decade to rival the 1940s. Two years of Covid followed by a psychopathic narcissist shortarse playing I want to rule the world. His main oppo is Sleepy Joe who barely knows what day it is and makes Ronald Reagan look like Einstein. Just when you'd given up on politicians along comes a comedian with no previous political experience who shows true courage, leadership and empathy with his fellow countrymen and has galvanised them to an amazing level of defiance against the odds, just goes to show there are more things to leadership than being a 'Big I Am'...

Typical that we voted for a comedian and he turns out to be a corrupt, incompetent jellyfish.

He’s also got a long record of antisemitism.

He certainly has BR. From the Independant

Boris Johnson has invoked some of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic stereotypes in a book he wrote when he was a Conservative shadow minister. He describes “Jewish oligarchs” who run the media, and fiddle the figures to fix elections in their favour. He portrays a Jewish character, Sammy Katz, with a “proud nose and curly hair”, and paints him as a malevolent, stingy, snake-like Jewish businessman who exploits immigrant workers for profit. There is nothing subtle about this. We know what antisemitism looks like. Johnson has form when it comes to anti-Jewish hatred. As editor of the Spectator he chose to publish articles in which the notorious racist Taki Theodoracopulos boasted of being “an antisemite”, argued black people “have lower IQs than whites” and praised Enoch Powell as a “great man”. Johnson defended Theodoracopulos, calling him a “distinguished columnist”.
Johnson’s contempt for minorities, women, LGBT+ and working-class people is well known, so it’s not surprising this extends to Jews. We share the pain that many feel about antisemitism on the left and we will continue to hold the Labour party to account. But we wholly reject Boris Johnson’s cynical attempts to exploit our community’s legitimate concerns to distract from his own disgraceful bigotry.

Having said that ...Truss is a silly non-thinking self publicist, but I have no idea what it was she said that made Putin sort of threaten us with a nuclear attack.

I think Putin is madder than a box of frogs

What was it that Johnson referred black people as……?

Wasn’t “flag waving piccaninnies with water melon smiles” ?

All taken out of context of course……to the racists anyhow
