    What like being a very clever liar, a distorter of the truth and a devious bully?

    People kept telling me that Johnson is very clever but quite clearly evidence has now shown he is not.

    let me be clear. I don’t like Cummings or what he has done or is doing. I don’t think Johnson is clever, but Cummings is a very clever. He’s changed the course of a whole country almost single handedly and has masterminded himself into immense power with no visible responsibility. He’s a tw4t, but a clever one.

    And a very wealthy one as a no deal Brexit protects his vast wealth.

    I liked the comment if you voted for Johnson/Cummins and now think they are fools it isn't they who are fools it is the people who voted for them.

    There does seem to be the beginnings of a groundswell against Pfeffel. We expect newspapers like The Grauniad, The Mirror and The i to carry disparaging articles but when his own rags turn on him it's difficult not to discern a stink in the wind. I think that the answer may be that he's been rumbled by his own lot.

    I posed the scenario a couple of weeks back that we are in a re-run of the '92-97 parliament and the parallels are becoming quite striking with a new government apparently unable to find their own arsehole with both hands. The more intelligent members, and admittedly they are in short supply, seem to have recognised the bend in the river and know they are heading for **** creek. To add to their woes the barbed wire canoe they are paddling now seems distinctly unseaworthy. The leadership looks rather less cerebral than one of Keir Starmer's ten million quid donkeys.

    I think most of the Tories always knew that Johnson was useless, but they also knew that the charade he puts on to come across as “one of the lads”, would win them a lot of votes.
    What they didn’t realise was just how quickly the floating voter would see through him, and that, I think, is their real concern, because there isn’t another amongst them that has the same appeal to the ordinary man and woman in the street.

    It’s that made up personality that reigns in the unwary, with the help of the press and the previously more than kind tv media. Not everyone succumbs but he is the one who drove the Brexit vote and then used it to win the election, and he did that by appealing to one hell of a lot of people.

    There may well be “groundswell”, F19, but it won’t change anything, as an 80+ majority basically makes the bastards untouchable for the next 4 years. They may well keep the useless tosser until the no deal Brexit they all want is brought in, then they’ll sacrifice him for someone equally bad for the ordinary voter, but great for those bastards who’ll be raking in the millions from it.
    The blame is on the media (controlled by the billionaires), the gullible voter who let themselves be lied to and were scared off labour because of Corbyn and, yes, the idiots in the Labour Party who supported someone the press could easily pick on and who also didn’t make any real progress against the whole Tory fiasco. Anyone who said Brexit would be a ****ing disaster was told they were “overreacting” or accused of “Project Fear” and now it’s too late. I am so sad for my poor country and what it has descended to ..... were now a nation divided with racists openly taunting the ordinary folk and a government pandering to them. I really wish there were somewhere I could move to as I can only see it getting worse .....

    White. Male. Overweight. Dishevelled. Inarticulate.
    Reminds me; has anyone seen the Prime Minister today?

    You will have to wait until Wednesday.

    That is the only day he works.

    It is great having a part time buffoon of a Prime Minister.

    Just think how much damage he could do if he worked two days a week.

    If you haven’t read it, do read the thriller To Kill The President by Sam Bourne. See if it reminds you of anyone here, or across the pond...

    I’m guessing he is like the track and trace app.
    Won’t be fully operational until September at the earliest.

    Apparently after CV-19 his performance in bed was likened to a badly maintained Austin 7, stumbles into the bedroom, trips over the carpet, backfires twice and has to be hand started.
