Boris Johnson - Apology? Respect?

Boris has been desperate for a War ,he thinks hes a reincarnation of Chrichill and this will be his big moment god help us all !

Churchill

Oh paddyanne I really don’t think that’s true. Whatever he is, or isn’t, whatever he has done, I really don’t think he was desperate for a war. I don’t think anyone would want this awful situation in Ukraine to be as it is. Not even BJ.

He makes me ashamed to be British.

Esspee

He makes me ashamed to be British.

Me too. A national disgrace.

But he’s single-handedly leading the war against Russia doncha’know….as he was at pains to tell us today. Over and over again and backed up by his lackeys….

Exactly MayBee, he is leading Europe in saving Ukraine. Why do lefty Guardianeesta’s just back off and stop moaning?

(Wanders off the find the Guardian so she can throw it at the tv)

He is a disgrace as are the spineless backbenchers who support him. The quick change of focus to the dreadful suffering in Ukraine was appalling. He is a truly despicable man, using anything he can to save his sorry arse.

Johnson"s ridiculous hairstyle is the least objectionable thing about him. He is a corrupt, thoroughly dishonest immoral narcissist who shames the office of Prime Minister and is an utter disgrace to our country.

What disgrace this man is. No morals whatsoever. He will definitely receive more penalty notices but I am amazed how the backbenchers appear to support him. I certainly wouldn’t even support my DDs if they told obvious lies and no way would they get my support if they did so more than once. Have the backbenchers any integrity? I watched the cabinet members who were there and at least some looked suitably uncomfortable. My goodness what an embarrassment this country is.

I'm not embarrassed to be English or ashamed of England. I do however think the PM is chaotic and does not have control of the ship.

I agree PaddyAnn.

The war has come in very handy for Johnson hasn't it? He can boast about supporting the Ukrainians. Of all the PMs in all the countries in all the world he is leading the way, he and his acolytes tell us. The world beating hyperbole is getting on my nerves.

I’ve been watching the Margaret Thatcher/ Ronald Reagan documentary when they were both in power in the 80’s.

Love her or hate her, I do wonder what she would be making of all this.

Turning in her grave, I suspect.

Things seemed very different 40 years ago.

One chaotic and dishonest PM will not make me feel ashamed to be British.

One chaotic and dishonest PM will not make me feel ashamed to be British.

But we don't have just him, do we? We have a Cabinet with a vicious and vindictive Home Secretary, a SoS for Health who is indifferent to the nation's health and is destroying the NHS, a Chancellor who has raised taxation on the poor to the highest level for decades, for no apparent good reason, while refusing to try to recover £billions fraudulently claimed during the height of the covid crisis and showing a worrying lack of commitment to the UK. We have an Attorney General, and Lord Chancellor (Justice) who are prepared to condone both the PM and the government breaking the law, a Culture Minister bent on destroying any culture which criticises the government.... I'd go on but finger is getting tired..

Backing all that ignorance, incompetence and indifference we have a tory majority comprising MPs who are coniving at the destruction of the constitution, the destruction of democracy, the growth of poverty, hardship and inequality and backing the most corrupt PM since the 18th C.

Then we have Brexit, destroying the economy, destroying 1,000s of small businesses, limiting people's choices and opportunities, still damaging people's lives and still divisive. And making the UK look really stupid, or ripe for plucking, in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Also all those tory stalwarts who are completely unable to tell right from wrong and who seem to comprise a frighteningly large proportion of the electorate..

No, nothing but a chaotic and dishonest PM to be ashamed of.

MaizieD, excellent post.

MaizieD the OP was referring to the PM, I was responding to several posters who said that having Mr.Johnson as PM made them ashamed to be British

My identity is not linked in anyway to the current Government.

At the recent Conservative Party conference Johnson said in a speech that the UK has the fastest growing economy of the G7 countries. The IMF forecasts that the UK will have the slowest. Slower than the US, Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Canada.

Our GDP is forecast to rise just 1.2% next year. 'Horrific' fuel price increases could put 40% of households in poverty and inflation is set to outstrip our peers.

From the Financial Times.

This made me think about all those posts excusing our government with 'Things are bad everywhere and Boris is doing his best'. Everyone else is obviously doing better.

??? MaizieD

For what it’s worth I am politically homeless, that is unless there is a radical shake up of the top end of Mr.Johnson’s Government.

I use the phrase Mr.Johnson’s Government as I do not recognise what I consider to be Conservative grass roots values amongst the current cohort.

Well that saves me writing anything else today.

Well, I hope the rest of it shames you.

Claiming to be politically homeless now isn't really an exoneration. We were warned, we were repeatedly warned, what a vote that would empower Johnson would do. But tory voters just went ahead and did it.

Bit of a rerun of their disastrous Brexit vote (also driven by the Liar in Chief) really...

P.S
Those nice constituency MPs are keeping this government afloat. They should be ashamed of themselves, utterly and abjectly ashamed...

All the fatuous rhetoric about Covid, Ukraine and other ‘achievements’ is wearing thin.
I despair ?
