Zelenskey?

I meant in this country.

What's more worrying is that people still think the mugger is ok..?

That was a surreal couple of mins while I read all the posts on the first 2 pages before I realised the thread was from 2020.

To use his mugger analogy I think we’ve all been well and truly mugged and I don’t mean by covid.

We working class are just proles to earn the profit, to feather the nests of the elite. Work in silence and die without pension would be the conservative ideal, for the working classes.

Yes, and Brexit/Corbyn notwithstanding, I will never understand why Northern red wall voters voted for him in 2019.?

He has always made clear his contempt for the North, and the working class, and his daft and phoney promises about levelling up are crumbling by the day. ?

Still, Corbyn has gone, Brexit is done (albeit badly), so at the next election it will be about the cost of living etc as usual.

He'd have to do some work first, DiamondLily.

Yes, that attitude of thinking working class walk around scruffy (most don't) just serves to reinforce how little he knows about "average Joe Public".

Still, he cares little for them anyway.

He just uses them to enhance his career, no more no less.?

He'd have to do some work first, DiamondLily.

Instead of him poncing daily food deliveries, and decorating costs from his chums/donors, he might be better asking one of them to pay for him to have a decent haircut, and be fitted out for clothes that fit.

Contrived scruffy slob that he is, simply because he thinks looking unkempt makes him look "working class".?

‘From where?’

Judging by today’s photos of him on the tube; a skip

When I first read the OP I thought that the country was having a collective loss of reason then I noticed the date

Me too Parsley3!!! I actually looked on Sky News to see if something had happened this morning that I’d missed. Then I thought the thread was a joke. Finally, looked at the date and it all fell into place. I have to say, reading those initial post was one of the most depressing things I’ve encountered. Did posters really believe that back then; and do they believe it now?Johnson is truly the worst thing that has ever happened to this country - IMO of course!

Never Never Land.

Yes indeed. Welcome back Boris!

From where?

Yes indeed. Welcome back Boris!

Zelenskey?

I commented favourably on the original post because I was pleased to see Boris recovering from Covid.

He's certainly not very high in the approval ratings these days...

I started reading this not noticing the date. I was gobsmacked to read all those favourable comments and thought that the world had gone mad. And then I noticed.

It would be interesting to learn how many of those who supported him 2 years ago still do. Any bets on the percentage?

I'd say 10%

The "almost Churchillian" was what he always wanted ...and now he has it A REAL war to make him think he's Churchill .

Still an eegit ,a liar,a cheat and a thief of public money .
But but but ...we need a leader with "charisma" dont we?
Hell no ,we need a leader we can trust,and it aint Bojo!

You have to allow some to keep their delusions dreams, westendgirl.

We never did persuade my mother that she wasn't being scammed by a company sending letters saying "You have won ..." exceedingly large amounts of money. (She forgot about it in the end, thankfully).

I think it's very hard to let go of belief in a scammer because doing so undermines your faith in your judgement. That is difficult to accept.

I imagine just can’t be bothered these days to contribute to the boring daily government-bashing threads we are bombarded with.

Or, alternatively, have discovered that they are trying to defend the indefensible and have decided to stop trying.

Jennifer, surely the matter is not that Labour would or would not have done better ,although I fail to see how they could have done worse,but that Johnson made far too many mistakes ,has brought down the reputation of this country, has made lying in high office a byword,is untrustworthy and has gathered a cabinet with little or no talent for their job.

Happy days ahead.

I have really enjoyed reading this old thread and it just serves to remind us just what this man has had to cope with since he became PM, starting with covid which of course nearly killed him.
It also illustrated to me just how many Tory supporters there are on here, many of whom I imagine just can’t be bothered these days to contribute to the boring daily government-bashing threads we are bombarded with.
Yes he has made mistakes, and I have been cross and exasperated with him at times, but I have never for one moment felt that a Labour government would have done better.

If I recollect, i started the thread that day (2 years ago now) because Boris was out of hospital and by his analogy Covid was the ‘mugger’.
