At the Tory party conference today, Johnson made a speech in which he equated choosing freedom from Brussels by voting for Brexit with the Ukrainian people fighting to rid their country of Russian oppression.

I thought this was going to be something about the battle of the bulge! grin

I also wondered what the poster had seen.

I’d just got in from walking the dog and he was on tv making jokes and getting laughs from his ‘audience’. At a time when the world is in crisis we have a PM that thinks he’s a stand up comedian. Needless to say I turned the tv off.

Great poem - didn’t realise it was DT’s first poem.

Reminds me of Dylan Thomas’ first poem, everything BJ says makes me want to bite back.

The Song of the Mischievous Dog

There are many who say that a dog has its day,
And a cat has a number of lives;
There are others who think that a lobster is pink,
And that bees never work in their hives.
There are fewer, of course, who insist that a horse
Has a horn and two humps on its head,
And a fellow who jests that a mare can build nests
Is as rare as a donkey that’s red.
Yet in spite of all this, I have moments of bliss,
For I cherish a passion for bones,
And though doubtful of biscuit, I’m willing to risk it,
And love to chase rabbits and stones.
But my greatest delight is to take a good bite
At a calf that is plump and delicious;
And if I indulge in a bite at a bulge,
Let’s hope you won’t think me too vicious.

Sparklefizz Sat 19-Mar-22 18:11:59

Gosh, I wondered what this thread would be about and looked at it with trepidation.

crazyH Sat 19-Mar-22 18:06:41

Please don’t ask GN to correct the title. It’s giving us all a laugh ??

Meant to be "offensive bilge" sorry. Auto correct on phone.

My mind was boggling ?

crazyH Sat 19-Mar-22 18:01:37

I think this thread will run into many, many pages. All GNers will be clicking on the title, hoping to see the ‘bulge’

JaneJudge Sat 19-Mar-22 18:00:43

Poor Gill I though he had one whilst talking to Putin

Riverwalk Sat 19-Mar-22 17:56:16

Oh f*uck!

I so wish that Bozo and Brexit weren't so serious but I'm in convulsions at 'offensive bulge from Johnson' grin

Kandinsky Sat 19-Mar-22 17:50:57

grin Funniest thread title in a while.

I’m disappointed Boris wasn’t wearing very tight trousers. ?

crazyH Sat 19-Mar-22 17:50:29

Maw - I thought so too ??

FoghornLeghorn Sat 19-Mar-22 17:40:55

Well that didn’t go as expected. I wondered what on earth you had seen when I read the title! ?

MawtheMerrier Sat 19-Mar-22 17:33:51

Goodness!
I thought this was an anatomical reference!

Nyman1962 Sat 19-Mar-22 17:24:30

Boris Johnson is an offensive bulge

Whitewavemark2 Sat 19-Mar-22 17:24:10

What a twat. He sounds like a teenager starting on his GCSE’s. (If that is what they are called these days)

Iam64 Sat 19-Mar-22 17:23:50

he’s a Buffoon, likes to show off. What a ridiculous, offensive and in fact stupid remark

volver Sat 19-Mar-22 17:21:01

I saw that GillT57

Surely nobody could defend him saying that?

BlueBelle Sat 19-Mar-22 17:18:54

Oh dear I wondered how he d managed to show an offensive bulge but I d never say never with that person

Allsorts Sat 19-Mar-22 17:09:33

I suppose it’s all about freedom as a Nation to be ourselves, not part of a huge state. However nothing can match what the Ukrainians have suffered and the innocent Russians who have no choice but look on in horror.
