It is a weird kind of obsession. Middle aged white men hero worship him in a way that baffles me. They're completely caught up in identity politics and culture war despite the accusations that such things are agendas of the "woke left".
It must be the henpecked 9-5 wash the car on Sunday then pray for the wife to open her legs before the week ends brigade ... .... while Boris is out on the piss, shagging whoever he likes and walking out of jobs when he's bored with them. He's the man they want to be but daren't.
It's an interesting way of expressing it. It's all very juvenile. He continually shirks the responsibilities that a man has in the world. This seems to be worshipped by middle aged men who presumably feel like the burden of responsibilities has diminished them as time ebbs away.
Is it middle aged white men? Seems an odd assertion to me. Not too sure I am seeing much hero worshipping either. I doubt many see a hero in parliament these days, after 10 years of one side the other side still cant field a policy or a candidate worthy it seems. If we do see Boris back, and I still dont think we will, it will say a hell of a lot about the paucity of proper MPs, nothing about middle aged white men, as you put it. This country I am afraid can no longer find people able to lead, or at least lead a political party, which means politics needs to be completely shaken up. I honesrly dont know.what would be worse right now, Boris back or Labour getting in without earning it. We need real change if that is our choice. Middle aged white man, signing off.
Can anybody who supports Labour tell me what you think they will do when they get in. I think they will do hardly anything and use the state of the economy to justify that, anybody else think differently?
that could be any one of them really...as long as they are 'doing alright, thank you very much' they do not care about the rest and that is why we need some kind of change to stop them from making decisions that mainly benefit themselves, they should be making decisions that benefit everyone...they are using their positions purely for self gain.
Boris Johnson being back in power will be nothing to do with anyone but Conservative MPs. But it certainly won't be because there's a lack of better options. Whilst you might not be one of the middle aged white men ( I just about fall into that category myself) who do hero worship Boris, there is a number of people within that group who do. If you haven't seen people on social media revelling in his wacky behaviour and getting a thrill out of him upsetting others, I don't think you've looked too closely. Your assertion that Labour haven't earned it, isn't really something I buy into. No party usually "earns" it, they get in out of the ineptitude/failure of those in power. The opposition then get an opportunity to prove themselves worthy.
So wh So what do you think your party are going to do to make themselves more worthy than the Tories?
Penny Mordaunt, starting her election campaign on BBC Sunday, by answering every question by saying 'I'm not going to be drawn into answering questions' ... ... ffs, this process has zero credibility The position of PM should be for the good of the country, not just an ego boost and a big pay off.
I just wish they would keep off air altogether. Announce on Friday which of A, B, or C has won and he, she or it tell me " l have a job to do for our great country" and f ing well get on with it. Next election l will be voting for Eastender and that a saga with scriptwriters according to the wife.
Exactly, why broadcast an election campaign to the nation when we have absolutely no say ... ... there are people on forums believing their support for Boris is actually creating an unstoppable momentum and they'll have helped him to make his comeback. When it fails they'll blame people posting on forums. It's like some kind of mass hysteria.
Well for a start I doubt they would put as much additional money into the pockets of the elite or make the poor even worse off. No party is perfect, far from it. However not many would manage to destroy the economy or make the country the punchline of jokes for the whole world in such a short space of time. And to even contemplate bringing back Boris just shows that they are only bothered about clinging onto their jobs rather than fixing the problems. At least Labour (or any party for that matter) would bring a semblance of stability, to be honest a bunch of random strangers off the street would in comparison.
Exactly. IMHO he will be examined on every syllable of every word he utters and the merry go round will be off again. I guess he would be electable to some in the future but right now l don't think so.
You can hardly blame Labour for that. It's what every Party that has been out of office for a while does, and has done for as long as I remember.
It's an unusual situation. In 97 and 2010 there was a real feeling that the government had run its course, but more importantly, the opposition had sorted themselves out and were ready to have a go at it. I just don't get that feeling with Labour at the moment. They've got Default Man in charge, utterly uninspiring, several gobs on sticks more concerned about making jokes than making policy, and a load of lightweight no-marks who look like they'll burst into tears at the first sign of adversity. It's an opportunity for the tories, but only if they choose the right person. Taxing people into oblivion will fail. Johnson's raggedy half arsedness will fail. Mordaunt would need to occupy a middle ground between the two approaches.
I wonder what the buzzwords and jargon will be from our next unelected Prime Minister . We've had "Just Getting By", "Get Brexit Done", "Oven Ready Brexit", "Levelling Up", "Trickling Down", "Growth", "Economic Stability" etc. etc. Is it just me or are these so called "solutions" to problems that have been caused by the same party that caused the problems that needed "solutions" in the first place?
