Not fit to be prime minister

Compared to many people my disappointments during lockdown were not too bad.
Missing my golden wedding celebrations, not holding my new grandchild until he was nearly six months old. Not being able to have the other grandchildren to stay - they all live some distance away, not being able to attend a close friend’s funeral.
I, like most other UK citizens, stuck to the rules.
Boris and his cronies did not. They held drinks events and parties for pathetic, unacceptable reasons. How can they ever expect the electorate to respect them or their laws. How dare they think they still have a mandate to rule us?

I can't understand about" Tony Blair did such and such" ... as some sort of excuse, I don't agree with what Tony Blair did and he's not the PM now, surely we are allowed to hold the current t*sser to account, the fact we had previous t*sser PMs is no reason to tolerate the lying and corruption we are suffering at the moment. The fact that most people don't care doesn't make it ok.

A citizen of the country put the turban on him volver so I assumed they wanted him to wear it. They also put a garland of flowers round his neck. I think it’s done to most or all important visitors.

Thanks maddyone.

I completely agree CoolCoco. This is now not 14 years ago. I think history will judge Boris Johnson much more harshly than it will Tony Blair in fact, but that’s not what this is about.

I think Urmstongran is wrong too in thinking that younger people aren’t that interested or taking notice of what’s happening, I’d say it’s actually quite the opposite, they are more engaged than they have been for a long time at the moment because they are feeling the direct impact of the rising prices, are more environmentally aware than our generation, and are worried about the future - as well of course as Ukraine. Political issues are top of their agenda at the moment, at least the ones I know.

This government will never be able to make any statement of any credibility about respect for law and order if he stays as PM.

The only one not wearing a mask.

India has a mask wearing mandate. Johnson can’t even follow the law as a guest.

My god what a crass ill mannered apology for a man he is.

This podcast with Robert Peston nails it for those who still don’t quite ‘get’ what a serious issue this is. He’s got some interesting ideas about potential successors as well.

What did anybody who voted for this Bullingdon idiot expect? Shameful behaviour from a crass, lying and insensitive individual - who, let’s not forget is supported by Tory MP’s.

He lied to Parliament repeatedly. He broke the law. Those in charge of a national emergency due to a Pandemic thought it fit to get drunk every week!

And he is still here...I wish he was not. Horrible little man that I 'used to like', but now consider him very egotistic and 2 faced!!!
