btb Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think it's important that the investigations into Johnson's actions are continued and taken to their conclusion - if not you just know that 6 months from now his supporters will be claiming he was vindicated by the process, big calls right etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, comedy programmes don't have to be politically neutral or balanced. As the Secretary in a State for Scotland might put it, "suck it up". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed this bit, especially in light of Liz Truss saying Nicola Sturgeon was an attention seeker who should be ignored Quote Peer and former Labour MP Ian Austin said: 'Suggesting one of the most powerful women in the country is hysterical and in need of a padded cell is blatant sexism. Satire is incredibly important – but I thought tropes about women being mad were a thing of the past. Clearly not.' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The endless bullshit, the enormous lies, bluff and bluster about his imaginary achievements and the tongue in cheek classical references, all pretty standard BawJaws. But the reference to changing the rules reveals he's still fucking seething at being booted out of office in disgrace. Which is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Seeing his exit speech just now, he seems to be walking away from the role genuinely convinced that he's been a brilliant PM. Lots of banging on about "lowest unemployment since X" without actually thinking about how meaningful that is (with respect to the number of low hours - low paid jobs out there). Just one example of failing to grasp the reality of the world outside the one of privilege. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelmen Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Got to love the brass neck of the cnut. big party and lovely farewell speech for someone who has effectively been sacked. BBC absolutely lapping it up. When you see some of the kids belonging to the Torie MP's you have to feel sorry for them, they never had a chance in life. cursed from birth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
